Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints
Get the Nightshade Brazier.
1 of 11: The brazier is hidden in a secret area in the Temple of the Sun.
2 of 11: Down on the lowest level.
3 of 11: To get there, you first of all have to have Dyson Leyland (oft misspelled "Leland") in your party.
4 of 11: He starts out in one of the rooms of the Necromancers' Guild in Shadowspire.
5 of 11: If you have him, you can see a small red button in the east wall on the top floor of the Temple of the Sun (if you have the quest to get the Nightshade Brazier in your quest list, that is).
6 of 11: It's right beneath a torch.
7 of 11: Go click on that.
8 of 11: Then head downstairs to see what happened. (You can either jump down the middle or open a secret door nearby.)
9 of 11: The odd-shaped altar thing on the lower floor will have raised up, revealing a passage that leads still further down.
10 of 11: Go on down and you'll soon come to the room with the Nightshade Brazier sitting in the middle of it on a pedestal.
11 of 11: The Clerics aren't hostile yet, so grab all the floor treasure and save your game before getting the Brazier. (Or if you want to eventually ally with the Temple of the Sun, simply leave now.)
