Wizardry 8 Hints

Entering the Shallows through the tunnel

  • 1 of 7: This route will take your party directly to Bayjin through a tunnel underneath the sea. Bayjin is home to the amphibious Rynjin. You may have encountered Rynjin somewhere else on Dominus already.
  • 2 of 7: Rynjin can be found in the Swamp area. There is a passage located in the Swamp which leads to Bayjin.
  • 3 of 7: Cross the bridge to the north side of the river and follow the road north, east, north, and east again until you see a pair of huts beside the road. Go due north of the westernmost hut to encounter several Rynjin.
  • 4 of 7: The tunnel is located in a cave slightly north of where you fought the Rynjin. Enter the tunnel to travel to Bayjin.
  • 5 of 7: Emerging from the tunnel, you'll find yourself on a beach. Cross the mountains in the center of the island. You will notice a large structure made of bone descending into the sea. This is the entrance to the Shallows.
  • 6 of 7: You'll need something to prevent your characters from drowning while they are underwater.
  • 7 of 7: Search the huts on the beach to find some scuba gear. Equip your party members with the gear, then enter the Shallows.
