HCBailly plays Secret of Evermore - Part 15 of 31

In this entry, we enter the Hall of Collosia and get right to work exploring.

Right Bank Forest

Map

If you equip the Bronze Axe and attack the rock walls blocking the jars, you'll be able to break the walls. It's real nice.

In the forest, go north to that pit and use the Revealer spell to reveal the bridge. Cross it and go north.

Hall of Collosia - Outside

Map

You could just go right in the Hall, but feel free to take down the monsters here and level up both your characters and your weapon. That sword is the most powerful thing in your hand aside from any spells you have, so you might want to get it to at least Level 2 if you haven't done so already.

Hall of Collosia

There's a lot of rats in here, but they can't do anything to hurt you. You can defeat them for experience (characters and Gladiator Sword) and jewels, even though it isn't much. Every little bit helps.

There are also Lime Slimes hopping around. They give more experience and jewels than the rats and are thankfully easy to attack than some of the monsters that you've seen in Antiqua so far.

There are some plates that you can step on on the north end of the entrance room. The ones on the left and right are places where you can use the Revealer spell to find bridges that lead you to treasures and faceplates (as well as a woman that will save your game), but the one in the middle requires...something else. You'll find out what it is.

The bridge on the left takes you to a faceplate on the floor. When you step on it, it'll open a door in one of the walls to the left. Be sure to step on this before you go any further.

Hall of Collosia

Map

When you check the left wall, you'll see a feint light near one of the walls. Go in here and look around. As you go north, you'll find another pit. You'll have to reach the right-hand edge and hit a switch in order to cross to the other side. This opens up a bridge that comes to you. From here, you can use Revealer to find another invisible bridge that leads to a pot, as well as another switch that opens up a bridge at the other end of this part of this maze. You'll have to hurry to this bridge, as it doesn't stay opened up forever.

There is a hidden passage that leads to a jar of Pixie Dust if you can find it.

Before you do that, though, there's a faceplate at the northernmost wall of this room that you'll have to stand on before you trigger the bridge. Find it, then hit the switch and make a mad dash for the bridge.

Now that you've hit that faceplate, let's go to the right of the main chamber and go through the lower-most nook in the wall. You'll take on the Mini-Taur.

Your best bet here is to equip the Horn Spear and let loose with both this and your spells. The Mini-taur isn't too hard. When you kill him, a faceplate will show up in the middle of the room. Step on it.
