How do I get the Ring of Humility?
You have to flip the levers in the this order: NW, SE, NE, SW. NOTE: if you flip the levers in that order and it doesn't work, it's because you walked into the center of the room. Do not walk into the center of the room.

Where is the Blade of Caliburn?
On level three, if you follow the water (it circles the level), you'll notice there is a bridge in the southeast corner going over a pond. Jump into that pond (it goes south) and follow it until you hit land at the south tip. The hallway curves to the east and at the end of it, there is a shrine with a healing fountain and a room to the west of the shrine. In that room is the Blade of Caliburn.

Where is the Cup of Wonder?
On level six, visit the shrine. Then, go back to level three. In the northwest corner, if you jump into the water, you'll find a strip of water that goes east. Swim to the end of the water and there will be dry land on the south edge. Go into that room. Play Mardin's Song of Wonder on the flute (Eyesnack should have taught you this by now). When you play that song, the Cup of Wonder will appear.

Where do I get the Key of Love?
Go find Judy on level five. She is standing by the lava. If you give her the picture of Tom that the prisoner Bolinard (on Level eight) gave you, she will cry and her tears will fall into the lava. The Key of Love will appear.

How do I free the prisoners?
After defeating Tyball on level seven, get the key that he leaves behind. The key opens the doors to the other prisoner's area in the northwest. They will all give you a clue. Each of those items are very important. Keep them.

How do I get the Key of Truth?
If you talk to Illomo on level six and tell him the password 'Folanae' that Gurstang gave you, he will tell you about a book in the Academy's library. Go to the library and read the book 'Folanae Fanlo'. Then, go to the shrine and say 'Fanlo'. The Key of Truth will appear.
