H. Hallway of fire - search behind the six cat panels to find a 2 Summoning Scrolls, 2 Prism Scrolls and 2 Mists of Doom Scrolls.

It also closes the niches at 19 and 20; to reopen them, play the flute again.

Level 3 locations

19. Niche containing a Storm Crystal
20. Niche containing a flame that disappears on touch, having no further use

Notes and Trivia[]

The triad of Life, Balance and Death is foreshadowed in the Huline Ruins, with the three traps at the bottom mirroring the ones at the Path of Trials behind the three separate Paths. They are ordered Death (fire), Life (spinning blades circumvented by a secret passage containing no danger at all) and Balance (rolling boulder halted by switches to the left and right). Savvy players can gather the information they need to navigate the Temple traps as early as the Ruins.
It's also accented by the three Paths and the kind of treasure lying around:
- Path of Death: fire/lava, skull phantasms, Mists of Doom scrolls, Noble Valkyrie Crossbow (Fire) and recipe for Death Sacs
- Path of Life: wooden pillars that are no threat in themselves, Dragon's Blood, sparks bringing torches to life, Healing Scrolls
- Path of Balance: Tilting plateau, switches to the left and right, Gorgonite Nodules and Amber (both useless and thus neutral in themselves)
The Crystal Shards are aquired from right before a healing pool and by grinding up a dead body, and put on chalices balancing over thin air.
Worshipping at the altars of Life and Death will open a niche between them containing the Cat Ring, an item pertaining to Balance (falling).
Finally, the Temple features an Aloe room, a Fire hallway and an elevator to the final arena, pertaining to Life, Death and Balance respectively.
