Alien Beasts
This quest is harder than the Golems, but not as big as a jump as Giants to Golems. In terms of confusingness, it's a change of pace from the Tower of Shifting Floors,
Getting Ready
First, you'll need to get permission to enter Footracer. To do this, you'll need to get into Blackcrag. The Thieves Guild in Lorelei can help you. In the Guarded Tunnel, make sure you talk to the innkeeper. He can tell you how to keep the bridge from collapsing.Now, go North and tthrough the locked door. After crossing the bridge, you'll pass some spiny worms, and than a Doomguard. You have to kill him. You should jst cast 'Major Blessing' a couple of times, and you should make it. Now that you have acess to blackcrag, you can shop for powerfule spells at ridiculos prices. Not worth it. Head South to the dining room, and then take a secret passage east. You'll get attacked here. Go North to the Empress' throne room. Take messages back and forthfor her and Aneximander untill you get permission to enter Footracer. Before you do, you should get the Beastslayer Blade. It's optional, but pretty easy, and worth it. Go to the dragon lairs. Niether Khoth or Athron will let you in, but Sulfrus, deeper in, will. Talk to her. She'll tell you to slay a couple of Ailean Beasts, and then she'll tell you she wants to help you fight them. She will forge you the sword, but she needs instructions from Khoth, and some Mithril. Khoth will tell you to find the instruction in his library. It's worth a look around; Although some of the books have bad effects, some of them have good spells. You can get Mithril in three places, but the most convenient is from Athron. Her brood is in the way, and if you even damage them, she'll attack you. There's a secret passage to avoid them. Once you have some Mithril, you can get Beastslayer, and you're ready to tackle Footracer.
The Keep of Tinraya
Once you're ready, enter this town, deep within Footracer. The first place you should go is one of the locked rooms to the Southeast. You know you're in the right one if it has a magic barrier. Past it is the stairs to the basement. This place is huge, and confusing. Take a secret passage in the Northwest part of the first room. Take the boat past the gauntlet to the North untill you reach a place where you can't pass. Stop at the bridge before that, and head West.Go into the room to the North, and a ways West. There is a secret passage to the North where you can cross the river. Go East, then North, then West. Now you get to use the key you got from the New Formello Murders. Go South untill you reach caves. When you reach an intersection, go North. You will now find a stairway. Climb it and you will find yourself in the strange Vahnati building in the town. You can destroy the pools where the babies live. Then go back down and go South at the intersection. You have found the Vahnati. They'll lock you in a cell for three days. One party member can ecsape. Choose wisely. It is a good idea chose the character wielding Beastslayer. Follow the path to another part of the Vahnati building. You can't get to most of it, but one box has a contro panel. Press the button that says 'Alerum Gedivus.' Fight the Vahnati and press button 2 by the cell to free your party. Go back into the crystal soul chamber, and if you have the weapon from the bunker, you'll survive. Go back to the place where the cauldrons are, and climb the other stairway. The door is now unlocked, and it leads to a lava-filled valley. That's important in the final quest
