"The Illhaven Saga" Tips: The Hall of the Giants

Illhaven Part 4, "The Hall of the Giants" (Deep under Illhaven Castle)

Scenario: You are now in an underground complex of enormous subterranean passages. These passages were originally designed for the Titans, but now the demons lurk within these passages as well. You must find the mutant Queen, kill her, and return to the surface of Illhaven.

4.1: This is a little far into the level, but up to this point I believe it is quite straightforward. To open the door at the end and face the Queen, you need to throw the lever that is down the corridors on the right.

However, you are also encouraged to go to the left and collect the Superhealth and Shield Belt, even if they are guarded by a Behemoth.

4.2: When you're fighting the Queen, avoid damaging the Titans yourself at all costs. If a Titan is hit by a bouncing razor blade or is too close to an exploding rocket, you will find that the Titans are just as much of a threat to you as the Queen.

4.3: Also when you're fighting the Queen, there will (on rare occasion) be a Tentacle at the top of the arena that throws spikes down. If there is, then either find a way to avoid the center, or let the Titans deal with the Queen while you kill the Tentacle.

4.4: If you go up to this door to try to open it then you will realize that it's locked. To unlock it, you need to pick up the Assault Vest that you see here.

4.5: Now that this door is open, step onto the wheel in the middle and the door will open again. For a few extra secrets, take note of this.

Read the green book, and it will give you 40 tarydium shards if your Stinger isn't full. Reading the blue book will give you a Shield belt, but the yellow book will awaken the Krall. All of them have translator messages as well.

Significant Items: 4 Assault Vests, 9 Nali Seeds, Superhealth, Shield Belt, Jump Boots, Superhealth (in first relevant book), Shield Belt (in book near earthquake), Superhealth (in 1 or 2 books), Assault Vest (in other of 2 books), Shield Belt (in blue book in Tip 4.5)
