Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints
How do I get to the Heart of Earth?
1 of 9: First, you need to get out of the twisty tunnel section.
2 of 9: One tunnel at the north central part of the area opens upon a large room.
3 of 9: In this large room is a big elevator that will start moving down when you step on it.
4 of 9: Be sure to save your game and go to turn-based mode before it reaches the bottom. There are a LOT of tough rockheads down there!
5 of 9: After smashing and/or avoiding all of them, go up the stairs to the upper floor.
6 of 9: Go around the walkway to the north hall, where the usual circular room branches off.
7 of 9: After you bash the guards, enter the circular room and take the little Heart of Earth gem.
8 of 9: The two side rooms with doors just contain miscellaneous treasure and elementals. Plunder or skip as you wish.
9 of 9: NOTE: On rare occasions, you can actually get the Heart of Earth off a dead Earth Elemental or Boulder. This only happened to me once out of a couple of dozen playthrus, though, so don't count on it.
