The Rings of Pandora, Part 3

Return through the spike trapped chamber (they aren't working) and defeat the undead inside. Return to the ring. Remember you picked up both Muse Keys now (if you followed this walk-through). Go to the right and follow the ring until you find the crank. Turn the crank until you reach the room with the Muse Lock. Use your keys to open the hidden chamber.

Finding the two Muse Keys can get you inside this opulent treasure room.

Inside you'll find a ton of red orbs and two fountains that raise your maximum health and life bar. If you followed this walk-through, you're now at the highest possible health; but your maximum magic requires one more feather. Use the center fountain for tons of red orb experience. Save your game then return to the ring. Use the crank and return the visible hall to the spiked traps.

Proceed to the inner ring and go left until you reach the stairs used earlier to avoid the steamroller. Ascend the stairs. Now you can jump and swim in the middle pool. Swim down and find the tunnel. Follow it to a new hallway. Ignore the door and lever in the room for now. Break the wall on the right side and continue through the tunnel. Save your game. Replenish health and magic at the chest then climb the ladder and enter the next chamber.

The Challenge of Hades

Shimmy around the bowls to find secret chests.

Break containers for red orbs. Search the left side for a ledge. You can jump to the higher ledge, break the wall, and find a chest inside. There are health chests on either side of the large staircase. Ascend the stairs and leap off the left side to grab hold of the lava bowl. Shimmy to the left and find a chest inside a narrow alcove. Do the same on the right side of the staircase to find chest with a Phoenix Feather (if you followed the walk-through, you're now at maximum) on the right side.

You can't move inside the path at the top of the stairs--it's too dark to see. Instead, go up the ledges on the left side and approach the door. Apparently Hades requires blood sacrifices before you can proceed. Accept the challenge.

Defeat the centaur within the blue circles to offer the blood sacrifices.

Centaur emerge from the darkness. You must kill the centaur on the glowing blue circles; there are two circles. One near the stairs and one near the chamber's entrance. Start with the circle close to the stairs. You know you have slaughtered enough centaur when the exit door opens slightly. The centaur must be defeated inside the circle. Scamper to the other circle and continue the attack after completing the first circle. If you need health, use the chests on either side of the stairs.

Enter the new hallway and replenish health and magic if needed. Break apart containers for orbs. Leap up to the platform along the back way to find a couple chests. Open the door on the far left.

The hall contains floor traps. Time your jump across the traps to avoid falling into the lava, which instantly kills you. Around the next corner, use the roll maneuver to bypass the arrow trap. Leave the health chest for later. Crush the gorgon around the corner.

Explore the maze thoroughly and defeat all creatures within.

You've entered a maze and you must defeat all creatures within. At the next intersection, go right and defeat the archers. Go left now. You reach another intersection. There are archers ahead and more beasts left. Defeat the centaur and gorgon to the left. Break apart all the pots for red orbs. Exit the chamber and open the chest. Go right and defeat some undead foes and finally some archers at a dead-end. You will eventually circle around into the same chamber. Exit and proceed toward the archers to the left.

At the archer intersection, go right to find some undead and gorgon in a dead-end. There's a health chest here if needed. Go left to the lift. Turn the crank to ascend.

Defeat the undead at the intersection. Before advancing further, push the block on the left wall. This opens a passage with some chests at the back end. At the intersection, follow the far right tunnel. Push the block until a new room opens. Eliminate the undead inside the room. Explore the left side to find some archers. Kill them with Zeus' Fury or just jump up to their ledge and hack away. Open the door on the left side to return to the intersection.

Use the lever at the bottom of the statue to activate the beam of light.

Proceed left and find some archers at the entrance to a tunnel. Kill the archers. The tunnel features a large crushing block. When the block moves to the far right, exit into the tunnel and leap onto the block. Kill the archers on top. Read the mural at the back end. After clearing the area, look on the right side of the tunnel while standing on the block. You can see another entrance. Wait until the block moves far enough back for you to drop into the new entrance. Kill the enemies here to lower the mural and the exit.

Stand on the floor switch to raise the center statue. Jump into the water below the statue. Swim down and use the lever to activate the light. Climb to the top of the statue and reach the upper level of the statue near the head. Turn the lever so the statue's head and light points toward the dark corridor you couldn't enter.
