PlayStation.com - PlayStation®2 - Drakan: The Ancients' Gates™

Getting the Earth Sword (continued...) Make some room by dropping stuff and then talk to him again to get him to drop the book.
Leave Nichols and go North-by- Northwest through the swamp to find the stone altar near a locked gate. Rynn will automatically read the incantations from the book when she walks onto the stone platform
thats circled by pillars. This will raise the gate that leads to the Earth Sword. After Rynn takes the Earth Sword she will be trapped in the chamber and attacked by four skeletons. Rynn can escape this room by defeating all the skeletons or by avoiding them until the gate reopens. It's a good idea to equip the mighty Earth Sword if Rynn fights the skeletons. She can avoid them by running around the edge of the room for a few minutes or by using a Potion of Invisibility.

Rynn can collect a second elemental sword after she's returned from Surdana through the gateway in Ravenshold. First she must speak to General Dehrimon to recieve the optional quest to Kill Snotmaw the Wartok Chief. Rynn will find the General either by the gateway or inside the throne room of the palace. Aftereward, fly to the spot that's marked as "Snotmaw's Base" on Rynn's map. Take Arokh through this cave to enter Kragmor, where Snotmaw's base is found. Search the eastern side of Kragmar for a a circle of stacked stones that resembles stonehenge. Look for
pairs of stones that form a walkway to the altar. Walk through each pair of stones, starting with the ones that are furthest from the circle. This will make the Lighting Sword appear on the altar at the end
of the path. Take the sword and then defeat the skeletal guardians that attack Rynn afterward.
