Wizardry 8 Hints

How do I get past the rockslide near the entrance to Ascension Peak?

  • 1 of 7: The Rapax have sealed off the entrance to Ascension Peak. Perhaps they know of another way in.
  • 2 of 7: The obvious place to look would be in Rapax Rift.
  • 3 of 7: There is a portal to Ascension Peak located within Rapax Castle, but the Rapax have gone to great lengths to prevent anyone but them from using it.
  • 4 of 7: Speak with Al-Sedexus in the Rift, just outside the entrance to the Castle. She can be found behind the set of large wooden doors.
  • 5 of 7: Al-Sedexus will instruct your party to speak with the Templars inside the Castle and complete her ceremony.
  • 6 of 7: In the final stage of the Templar ceremony, your party will find itself before an altar. Behind the altar is a locked gate. Complete the ceremony, and the gate will open. The portal to Ascension Peak is located in the room beyond the gate.
  • 7 of 7: Note that your party can travel freely between the Mountain Wilderness and Ascension Peak until they have acquired two of the three Artifacts needed for Ascension. After that, they will be blocked by the landslide. If you wish to avoid completing the Templar ritual, simply set a Portal spell in Ascension Peak before the landslide occurs.
