Arx Fatalis Hints

Clue #5

  • 1 of 5: This clue reads "Clue 4: ( ... #4 in the southeast corner)." This is the final clue, but it requires that you read all of the previous clues once again to divine the hidden message.
  • 2 of 5: Assemble a message from the words in parentheses within each clue.
  • 3 of 5: The message reads "The key to the treasure is on Level 3; use the object you used in order to find Clue #4 in the southeast corner." Make your way to the southeastern-most corner of Level 3 to find the key.
  • 4 of 5: After entering Level 3 from the Goblin Prison, turn left, then walk across the plank spanning the crevice here. When you reach a narrow ledge, turn left again, and follow the ledge all the way to the end. You'll find yourself in a small alcove underneath a ladder. Use the item described in the final clue to retrieve the key.
  • 5 of 5: The object required is a shovel. Use the shovel (with the "Use" key) to unearth a gold key. Return to Oliver's room on Level 4, use the key to unlock his chest, and claim your prize.
