Alawar's Vault Quest

Requirements

• Ferry money for Senja or Folda (north of Carlin)
• Short way: a destroy field rune (or open the fire tile with "Browse Field" to reach the lever)
• Long way: a pick
• Minotaurs, minotaur archers, minotaur guards, minotaur mages and bonelords on the long way; frost trolls, bugs, slimes and scorpions in Folda
• Level 25 or more recommended, nothing is checked

How to complete

1. Step 1

   Short way (Senja): take the ferry to Senja and go down into the cellar of the castle, ignoring the sign that tells you not to.

   

2. Step 2

   Cross the energy and fire fields of the cellar to the far west. The lever is hidden under the fire on the last tile: destroy the field or open the tile with "Browse Field" and use the lever. It vanishes and the four magic walls north of the cellar disappear with it.

   

3. Step 3

   Walk north through the opened wall, pass the door and step into the magic forcefield: it takes you straight into Alawar's Vault.

   

4. Step 4

   Open the two chests next to the forcefield: 3 white pearls and a broadsword. Minotaurs and a minotaur mage live in the vault.

   

5. Step 5

   Step into the forcefield again to leave: it puts you on the roof of the castle of Senja.

   

6. Step 6

   Long way (Folda): take the ferry to Folda and enter the caves through the hole in the north of the island.

   

7. Step 7

   Follow the caves to the south-west until you reach the minotaurs. The western room hides a chest with a copper key (the key of the protected area). Only one key per player.

   

8. Step 8

   Go back to the "Protected Area! Don't Enter!" sign and unlock the door with the copper key.

   

9. Step 9

   The way ends at two stones: walk diagonally between them and you are in the room of the fire fields.

   

10. Step 10

    Cross the fire to the muddy floor against the wall at the far end and use the pick on it. A hole opens and you fall two floors down. There is no way back up: the only exit is the vault.

    

11. Step 11

    Follow the minotaur caves to the north-east. A chest in the eastern part holds the copper key of the small locked side room.

    

12. Step 12

    The chest of the north-east corner is the real treasure: a dark helmet, 4 throwing knives, a blank rune, 44 gold coins and the copper key of the vault doors. Fire burns around it.

    

13. Step 13

    If you want, open the locked side room in the west with the first copper key.

    

14. Step 14

    Climb the stairs between the two fires in the middle of the caves and walk north to the two locked doors: unlock one with the vault key.

    

15. Step 15

    Behind the doors lie the two vault chests (see step 4) and the forcefield that takes you out to the castle roof of Senja.

    

Rewards

• 3× white pearl
• broadsword
• dark helmet
• 4× throwing knife
• blank rune
• 44× gold coin
• 3× copper key

Tips

• Every chest gives its reward once per player, including the keys: you can repeat the way any time, but the chests stay empty for you.
• Keep the vault key: with it you can come back into the vault later from the Senja side and walk the long way backwards.
• The fall through the pick hole is one way. Bring everything you need before you use the pick.
• The magic walls of the cellar do not come back once the lever has been pulled; if they are already gone, walk straight to the forcefield.
