Icthlarin's Little Helper

Talk to the wanderer while your cat is following you.

The wanderer is located a short distance north of Sophanem, east of the river but west of the Agility Pyramid.

Open the northern door on the southern pyramid (picture of a cat).

You will arrive inside a maze.

Run past the initial wall crushers and walk on the denser rubble (dotted lines indicate the locations of pitfall traps).

Alternatively follow the path shown in the image to the right.

Avoid traps and aggressive monsters until you reach a pit.

Optional Run past the wall crushers to the east and open the chest to complete Icthlarin's Little Chest.

Jump across the pit. This requires at least 20% run energy.

Open the doorway of the western room.

Solve the puzzle.

Talk to the Sphinx with your cat or kitten out.

Talk to the High Priest, located inside the Temple of Icthlarin in the south part of the city. You do not need your cat or kitten out for this.

Note down the name of the canopic jar in the backpack.

Go back to the southern pyramid and open the door.

Go through the pyramid again. Jump across the pit and open the west doorway.

Take the jar on the ground that has the same name as the one in the backpack previously.

Kill the apparition that spawns. You can safe-spot it by using the table in the room (unless you have the canopic jar of Apmeken or Crondis).

Take the jar again.

Open the doorway to exit the room.

Open the doorway to enter the west room again.

Return the canopic jar by clicking the empty space with the lighting effect (the original location of your jar).

Search the centre piece, located just south-east of the southern pyramid.

This may take a few seconds before he finishes the symbol.

Search the first sarcophagus to your immediate west, on the northern wall, and hide the unholy symbol in it.

Searching other sarcophagi is optional and not recommended.

Open the doorway to exit the room.

Talk to the High Priest.

Open the doorway to exit the room to return to the temple.
