The Ethereal Void

Once you have the five blackrock items: The Obelisk Tip, the Heart of Earth, the Breath of Wind, the Tear of Seas, and the Tounge of Flame, you'll be ready to finish the game. Make sure that both Hydros and Pyros have been released. Then, go talk to Mythran about re-forming the Obelisk. He'll teach you the Ethereal Travel spell. Cast it, and you'll be in the Ethereal Void (pictured above). Note that if you get really stuck in one of the four sections, you can use the Ethereal Travel spell to return to the void.

To defeat Stratos, take the south walkway and enter the doorway. You'll be transported to Stratos' domain.

Head north... You'll have to jump a few stones. Ignore the magic armors (The floor will fall away) and continue heading north. When you get to Stratos, ignore the winds and use the Breath on her. You must've forgotten your mouthwash...

To defeat Lithos, take the east walkway and enter the doorway.You'll be transported to Lithos' domain.

Don't climb the ledge immediately in front of you... Go west a few paces and climb it there and proceed north. Follow the caves north and westerly. Watch for pit traps! Eventually, you'll reach a fence and some lava. Cast endure heat and walk past the lava.

Continue west, then north. Head west again, and you'll reach some lava and jumping stones. Jump accross and run generally south and west. Pass an area where you have to jump down and then back up again. Continue west and south, past all kinds of falling rock. You'll reach Lithos shortly. Use the Heart to capture him.

To defeat Pyros, take the west walkway and enter the doorway. You'll be transported to Pyros' domain.

Head north and west, and jump the lava. Head north until you reach a star with pads around it. A nearby skeleton has a log which explains how to pass this.

Head south and east. Ignore the first bride you pass, but cross the second. Continue heading almost due north, going up the stair like land mass. Once you get to the top of it, you'll see a daemon. Beware the fire pits here. Climb the stairs to the jewlry box, and take all the white balls.

Return to the star. Place a white ball on each flashing square. Jump the platforms. Head east and then north to Pyros. Use the Tounge on him to defeat him.

To defeat Hydros, take the north walkway and enter the doorway. You'll be transported to Hyrdos' domain.

Head west as far as you can, and then jump to the stones. Once you get to the second stone out, cast air walk and jump the rest of the way west. Continue west accross bridges until you get to one with a invisible wall blocking you. Cast airwalk again and jump north. Head west to Hydros' shrine. Use the Tear of Seas to capture her.

To win the game: When the Heart, Tear, Breath, and Tounge are all glowing, place them and the tip on the Pentacle in the center of the Ethereal Void in this order:

• Aphelion ....... Obelisk Tip
• Mesostel Pa .... Heart of Earth
• Mesostel Ze .... Breath of Air
• Perivolcan Pa .. Tear of Seas
• Perivolcan Ze .. Tounge of Flame

While standing outside the Pentacle, double click the Obelisk tip and then click on yourself. You'll feel very powerful. Now, move the tip and set it back down. Enter the recreated Obelisk (aka Black Gate) and enjoy the endgame.
