Dungeon Hythloth: Complete solution (Part 2)




Heading back to the second intersection, we go north.




This puts us in a room with the red pedestal.




Installing the red Statue Key opens one of the four gates that are keeping us from leaving this horrible place.




Heading north out of the Red Pedestal room takes us to an intersection. To the east is a large room flooded with swamp water. Not the delicious blend of Orange Crush and root beer, but the kind we have to swim in.




Turning the crank on the wall lowers the water level.




The yellow Statue Key is on the floor.




We leg it for the doorway in the side of the flooded area.




This leads us to another tunnel, which quickly fills with water behind us.




The chest in the next room contains the blue Statue Key.




Now we swim back through the tunnel to the flooded area.




Leave the flooded area and continue going straight ahead until we reach an intersection.




On the left is a Binding Ritual Circle, and on the right is the Blue Pedestal.




As we approach the Blue Pedestal, an arrow trap activates above it. These can pretty easily wipe out half of our health, so they're quite dangerous.




Moving ahead slowly lets us blast it with Lightning Bolt before it can hit us.




Installing the blue statue opens the second gate.




Now we head back to the last intersection and proceed west.
