A small quest:

Enter the large open area with the raised column in the middle, use the Spirit Shrine in the right hand room, then go to the archway opposite to the area with green slime beneath a walkway (Shot 1), jump and roll past the fire, continuing into a small room with a statue and a button near one of the doors. Press the button to open a door in the first large area. Retrace your steps, using the Gold Armor Shrine on your way back to this door and enter, continuing to the throne room (Shot 2). Climb to the upper ledge and follow the first set of tunnels to the ledge overlooking the first area (Shot 3). Grab goods and jump down on the octagon platform for the flask, which will cause a stone to move, allowing you to climb the platform. Reenter the throne room and go to the archway on your right up the small ledge. Follow the tunnel to a water area with a column in the center (Shot 4), dive in and grab goods, then swim into the center column, down to the Lungs of Ssithra Shrine, down further, then swim out and surface in another wet area (Shot 5) with an exit to the left. Exit into a room with a moving cog, press the button near the cog to open the underwater grate. Grab the goods on your return to the wet area, dive in and swim to the tunnel up, past the Ssithra Shrine, past the next opening, surfacing at the top inside a room (Shot 6). Use the Spirit Shrine, grab the Lightening Spell, then exit through the door that opens when you walk over the button where the spell was. Enter the next level, The Hive, Part 2.

Taken captive:

Grab the goods at the start of the bridge. On the other side of the bridge, look down and see the ledge (Shot 1), but don't jump, just keep going into an area where a ramp leads up into a large room (Shot 2). Go up to the statues and notice something missing. See the blue buttons, they're are two of them in this area, one in an area slightly in front of the statues, one in a drop-off near an archway (Shot 3). Go to the pillar where the arrows and goods are, stand on the slightly raised platform beside it and shoot the button with a fireball to raise yourself to the goods. Jump down, go to the drop-off and shoot the other button, then enter the archway nearby. Use the Mana Shrine right, then go left to a fork in the path, enter the right archway, jump into the fountain and go get some health, then return through the fountain and use the tunnel in the room to enter the next area, climb to the archway above to your left, follow the upper walkway to the first tube, go get the goods on the ledge, then come back and keep following the walkway. Come into a room where a rope dangles into a hole, go right to the three buttons (Shot 4) and push them to reveal goods behind you, including the K'chekrik Heart Gem (Shot 5). Grab the gem and climb down the rope and gold through the gold door right into a room where a door is flanked by statues, use the Gold Armor Shrine in the room to your right, then enter the door between the statues. Avoid the traps, go through the bug mural into a room where a button is on the floor in front of a door. Walk over the button, walk into the small room with a hole in the floor (Shot 6), grab the goods and jump down through the hole. Continue to the room with four doors, go right into an area where three Hellorbs float over a steam grate (Shot 7), go forward into the archway right into a room with a center column (Shot 8). Use the Spirit Shrine, then walk up the steps of the center column to break it open and grab the Spear of the Warrior. This will open rooms all around you. Get the goods and in one of the rooms will be a blocked archway with a floor button (Shot 9). Walk over the button to lower the stone lift and ride the lift up to the ledge and jump down going through the normal archway on the right, continue past the shrine to the room where the pair of statues holds up the coffin. Walk up to the statues and use the gem to lower the statues, then use the spear in the lowered casket to open the door ahead. Enter and grab the Warrior's Amulet from the statue, jump into the hole that opens. This leads back out to the ledge you didn't jump to below the starting bridge. Climb up to the bridge and return to the first level of the Hive. Dive into the pool (Shot 10) and swim down to the first opening and exit. Exit this room into the throne room and go through the door with the button near it, push the button to get through (Shot 11), then walk up to the statue and place the amulet. You will be taken captive and dropped into the next level, The Gauntlet.

Save after every test:

Go over the collapsing bridge and grab the goods on the ledges, then continue into the archway, following the halls to jaw-traps and doors that will release an ambush (Shot 1). Jump the jaws and continue through the halls to a room with a false floor (Shot 2). You must jump from octagon to octagon, first to the Spirit Shrine on the left, then to the entrance straight ahead from where you enetered, where you can see the flask. The gree-stained octagons will be squished by the above pillars, so only jump to them quickly and on to a clean octagon. You can fall through at some places in the floor and get teleported safely back to the start of the room, or be burned alive. Don't take the chance of falling. Get through and continue left to a bug mural, walk around the mural and take the lift up to a room with a suspended walkway above (Shot 3). Jump to the ledges to get the mana, and from one of these ledge, jump to the walkway and walk over the button (Shot 4), opening the door below and raising some steps. Jump into this exit, go forward to a place where there is a center column and half a walkway. Walk to the edge of the arch and shoot a fireball at the button to the left (Shot 5), let the walkway come around to you, then shoot the button again to stop the walkway. Walk out, shoot the button twice again to get to the other side and continue to another lift behind a bug mural. Ride the lift up to a place where you must take a trestle across lava (Shot 6). Avoid the fire nozzles and ride the trestle across, continuing into small enclosed room with a hole in the floor. Jump into the hole, down into the spike trap, go right, then left past spikes to a small ramp leading down to more lava, and a break in the ramp. Jump over, avoid the swinging barricades, jump the rising stone pillars left to a retracting stone shelf (Shot 7), pole-vault to the walkway near the giant hammers blocking your path. Continue through this test to more swing barricades, go past them to a blue archway and enter. Use the Spirit Shrine, then go left into a room with a stone opening in the floor (Shot 8) leading to the next level, The Trial Pit.

Waste those larva-layin' slugs:

Go forward and the ramp will drop out for an ambush, grab the goods under the ledge then hop up and keep going through the arched hallway to where a bridge crosses a green slime pit (Shot 1). Cross the two bridges, grabbing the goods on the areas below before and after the arch where the bridges connect (Shot 2). Continue through the arched hallway to an ambush, go right, get ambushed a second time, then go through the door into the first slug lair (Shot 3). The slug won't hurt you, but watch for G'krokon parasites on her body. Climb the rope to the ledge above and go through the unlocked archway. Continue to a room with rocky shelves and a rope. Shoot fireballs into the red cracks in the center column to drain the slime. Jump down and find an raised octagon platform, hop on and ride it down to a room full of goodies (Shot 4). Remember this room later if you leave stuff behind. Climb the rope to continue into the archway opposite where you entered. Continue until you go up a ramp through open arches. See the blue wall behind you? Go climb over it and grab the key and the wall will lower (Shot 5). Walk out for another ambush, then grab the goods in the revealed room across from the key, the take the walkway. Follow a maze of hallways, using the shrines and grabbing goods from the ambush areas above you, until you come upon an iron octagon plate to your left (Shot 6). Walk over the plate to slide it back, then hop down into the hole, grab goods and jump down again, enter the first lair again, climb the rope and use the key on the locked archway door. Enter and follow the hallway left in a room with red beams running through it (Shot 7). Climb the beams to the arch above and continue to the shrines, then come outdoors and walk around the wide column into the lair (Shot 8). Get the idol and destroy the slugs if you wish, then ride one of the two lifts down behind the lair, dropping you into the first lair. Use the archway door that was always unlocked and follow the halls all the way, past the iron plate over the hole, to a door that leads out to a ledge overlooking flasks on either side (Shot 9). Climb down to get health, then back up and place the idol on the pedestal in the archway. This will open a teleportation field to the Hive Priestess's domain (Shot 10). She will not be willing to help until you bring her to the brink of nonexistence. If you find yourself low on goods, make sure you save it BEFORE stepping into the portal, and return to the room with rocky shelves for the big secret stash you left behind. Afterwards, the Hive Priestess will teleport you to the next level, The Ogle Mines.
