5th Level
In the center of the 5th level, you will find a large seal that needs to be opened to reach the next level. Around the seal are three pedestals each requiring a key.
In the northwest part of the level you will find the Globe Machine. Push any of the coloured buttons and you will receive a globe of the same colour. However, enemies will also appear each time you press one of the buttons. Place one globe of each colour in the container of the same colour surrounding the Globe Machine and you will receive the Mind Key.
At the south end of the area you will meet a Helmite Ghost who will give you a key to the final gate, only after you have completed the three challenges in the guantlet.
In the first room going counter-clockwise, you will have to fight a horde of orcs. New ones will continually appear to replace those that you kill so you need patience to defeat them all. When the last orc is dead, the Helmite Ghost will appear and congratulate you on your success.
In the second room, you will have to face a fearsome dragon. Make sure you take the Warrior's Skull from its body after you have killed it.
In the last challenge room, you will meet an imp who will ask you a riddle. Give the correct answer 'seven' to proceed. Next, you will play a game of 11 coins with him and the person who takes the last coin loses. Begin by taking 2 coins. If the imp takes 1 coin, take 3, if 2 coins, then take 2, and if he takes 1 coin, take 3, so that there are five coins left over, and you will be the winner.
Return to the Helmite Ghost after you have completed the three challenges and he will give you the Heart Key.
Place the Warrior's Skull on the Spirit Altar in the northeast side of the area. You will find yourself in an old-style, text-based, adventure game.
First go east and attack the goblin.
Go east again and when you approach the chest, a skeleton will attack you. Defeat the skeleton and take the Wand of Missiles from the chest.
Go north and attack the war dog. Search the room to find a key and a potion which will restore some of your HPs.
Go west and search the room to find a scroll with a picture of a gibberling on it.
Go west again. Ignore the fountain and go north. Defeat the ghost and then take the magical helm from the chest.
Now go east twice and approach the desk. The deadly toxins will have no affect on your warrior. Inside the desk, you will find a pair of bracers.
Go north and use the scroll with the picture of a gibberling on it to scare away the gibberling.
Go west and use the key to open the chest. Inside you will find a potion which will heal you greatly.
Pass through the arch and enter the crypt. Use the Wand of Missiles on the mummy and then attack it. Once you have defeated the mummy, your spirit will return to its body and you will find the Spirit Key in your possession.
Click on each of the pedestals surrounding the final seal in the center of the area to insert each of the three keys. Click on each pedestal again to turn the key and you will be attacked by enemies.
Once you have turned all the keys, turn the wheel next to the seal to open the portal to the crypt of the Imprisoned One.
6th Level
The Imprisoned One will speak to you as soon as you appear on the 6th level of Watcher's Keep. He will tell you that you have been tricked by false Helmites and that when you read the Ritual Scroll, you will trapped inside along with the him.
You now have three options. First, you can believe the Imprisoned One and agree to help him get revenge on Odren. Second, you could tell the Imprisoned on to reveal himself so that you can destroy him. He will reveal himself as the Demogorgon, prince of demons and will attack you. The third choise is to read the scroll anyway. After you have read it, you will find that the Imprisoned One was telling the truth and that you are trapped. Speak to it again and agree to help it get its revenge and it will open a portal out.
Enter the portal on the right in the north end of the area to exit Watcher's Keep.
Speak to Odren at the top of Watcher's Keep by the entrance. If you had killed the Demogorgon, he will tell you that you only freed it to the Abyss, though it won't be able to cause havoc on the Material Realm. If you didn't kill it, you can choose to tell Odren the truth, or you can lie to him, so that he and the other Helmites enter Watcher's Keep. If you had read the Ritual Scroll inside and tell Odren the truth, he will ask for your forgiveness and he and the other Helmites will go on a pilgrimage to atone for their mistake.
If Odren entered Watcher's Keep, a Ghostly Apparition will appear and ask for your help. You again have three options. First, you can just walk away from the situation. However, that is a cowards way out. You could read the scroll she gives you and Odren and the Demogorgon will both be trapped inside. Your final option is to go back into Watcher's Keep and destroy the Demogorgon. Odren will not survive however, and will ask for your forgiveness with his dying breath.
