Last update: 11 May 2016

Received: Torkil (M6, 9). After quest Z3. Condemned spirit.

1) Find the frozen lake

Location of the Hammerburg you will discover after the quest Find a way to heal Ardo (basic version of the game). To be able to get out of the village you have to take the quest: Furry escapee (basic version of the game).
Then go to the south part of location, where near the woods you will find the source of the frozen lake (M7, 2).

2) Use Torkil's ring to find the entrance

Without equipment ring.

With equipment ring.

To see the entrance of the Ice cave (M7, 2) you have to equip ring which you received earlier from Torkil - Ring of nature.

3) Get to the ghost of Hjore in the cave

On a frozen lake you will meet a few giant amoebas (M8, 2) #1, also they can't move, but they can paralyze opponent for some time - keep that in mind and be careful to your team members to won't be defeated in this way. A little further the spirit (M8, 3) will appear, showing you which way you have to go next. At the furcation you will be greeted by a group of bats (M8, 4) #2. If you don't care about next battles (in the various ways of furcation you will find boxes that don't contain very valuable items), select the straight path. The same you will bypass the fight with beetles (M8, 5) and with another amoebas (M8, 6).

After reaching the last large part of the cave you will meet the Hjore (M8, 8). The ghost will reveal you that at the time of possession of all the artifacts he will be able to remove the curse from himself, and also that he had cooperated with the cheater - maps trader. Moments later, you'll fight against the ghost.

4) Defeat the ghost of Hjore

Despite the fact that the spirit is quite powerful, he shouldn't cause you any problem, since you'll be able to attack him with all your characters. Hjore focuses mainly on one character so try to treat this one regularly.

5) Defeat the maps trader

Shortly after defeating Hjore - Travina Ironwood (M8, 8) will arrive. The conversation won't convince her too much for a peaceful solution - you will have to stand up to fight. Maps trader has as powerful spells, also supports the three thugs. It's good to split your team and send one part of fighting, and one familiar adept with treatment spells (for example, Fayris) at the maps trader. The other two have to quickly defeat the thugs, and then assist in attack on Travina. When the enemy dies you get the Golden statue. You can leave the cave (M8, 1).

6) Give artifacts back to the River's Father

As soon as you leave the cave you will meet Brother of Emmeran #1. He will take from you acquired artifacts, allowing you to keep the Ring of nature, who had Torkil promised you. There will also appear the spirits of the dead, who will thank you for freeing their souls #2.
