Start Location: The Chancellor at the Eternal Throne¶

Pro Tip!¶

The Spine¶

Head up to the northwestern path in the Spine and you will find a door. From here, turn around and look to the left to find a Relic of Etu-Goth. Go into the door and follow the wall around to the right as you enter. Destroy the crates here for a Boatman’s Coin. Go to the central part of the northern wall of the room and use the blocks here to climb up and death grip across to a platform up on the other side of the room.

Before hitting the switch, look to the right and shoot the crystal here for a stone of Power. Push the switch in and watch the scene. Drop down and climb up the newly revealed blocks and death grip across to another raised platform on the room’s east. Pull the lever here to have those second set of blocks remain there permanently. Continue through the door on the left. Follow the hallway to the end and through two doors to find yourself in the Soul Arbiter’s Maze.

Soul Arbiter’s Maze¶

Move forward to pick up the Soul Arbiter’s Scroll . Return down the stairs and interact with the Mysterious book here to read the rules for the maze and then run up the stairs again to see that there is now a portal on the ground. Hit that to enter.

The Soul Arbiter’s Maze consists of a series of rooms that force players into confrontations with an assortment of enemy types which increase in difficulty the further you proceed. The only way to navigate the maze safely is by finding those pesky Soul Arbiter’s Scrolls and Soul Arbiter’s Sacred Seals that have been hidden across the Nether realms. There are 20 of these to find and if you wish to solve the maze for yourself, you will need to get them all! (You can check out the locations in the collectables part of our guide).

Each room has four exits adorned by the designations N, S, E and W and the directions given to us by the Soul Arbiter direction scrolls give us the path through the maze we require to reach the end.

The maze consists of 10 floors, each of which has two correct paths. One of the paths will lead to a secret area containing treasure and the other will lead to a stairway that descends to a portal allowing access to the next level of the maze.

For your convenience, I have listed the two correct paths through each floor as listed on the scrolls along with notations of importance.
