Now that you have all four of the Watchknight Tales, you should head back outside.  Take the stairs down to the lower level of the courtyard, and enter the Abandoned Temple of Helm.  (x 1752 y 560)


Abandoned Temple of Helm
------------------------

Once you are back in the temple, return to the altar, located at (x 618 y 243).  If you read the Manuscript of the High Watcher earlier, you may remember the following passage:

"As I stood before the offering bowl that holds the symbol of Helm and recited the evening prayers, the waters of the bowl turned dark and cloudy.  I placed my hand in the waters to retrieve the symbol, but my hands found nothing.  The symbol was gone."

Remember the Symbol of Helm that you found on the ground in the tower with the cowardly Paladin?  Place the Symbol of Helm in the offering bowl.  This will open a set of stairs under the alter, which are found at (x 607 y 292).
These stairs will lead you into the Crypt.

There is also a seventh door, on the east side of the wall.  There is no plaque bearing a description on it.  You will be able to open this door once you have opened the other six.

This door will take you back to the first three rooms that you had access to in this area.  Continue to the west only if you need to earn more experience by fighting.  Otherwise, take the hidden door path to the north, and return to the Circular Room.  Once you are there, unlock and enter through the Platinum
Door, which is on the upper row, farthest to the left (x 1714 y 1248).
