1 - When you first come down into the Rift Area, you see a giant hand sticking out of the ground and a face on the opposite wall. Walking to the face, you trip an undetectable trap (even a thief cannot not remove it) which gates in three giant spiders. After dispatching the spiders and you continue to the face, there is a stinking cloud trap in the mouth of the face. When you open it, you get four scrolls: Vampiric Touch, Hold Undead, Enchanted Weapon and Tenser's Formation. There are also four gems: Star Diopside Gem, Shandon Gem, Aquamarine Gem and Garnet Gem. 2 - You'll have to answer some riddles here in order to cross the bridge. The answers are (in order): 1-Life 2-Time 3-Current One. Once you've crossed the bridge, you can find a small door on the base of the other side that contains a Warhammer +2. 3 - Speak to the guardians of this underground temple and you'll learn that they are cursed to live forever to guard this temple of what they consider a dead god. Inside the temple, you'll have to fight an Empathic Manifestation. It's tricky... you have to heal it in order to kill it. If you don't have any way to heal, search the pedestal. You'll find a couple scrolls: Cure Serious Wounds and Skull Trap, along with some gems. Then, the avatar of the god will appear and explain that you must restore faith in his disciples and he'll give you the first piece of the Rift device. Once you've completed the rift device, return here for a 47,250 experience reward and the Saving Grace +3 shield.
