SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
__________________________
SPOILERS
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
















1) How do I help the dire ghost in the third world?

You need to assemble the magic staff made from the gem rod, black pearl,
and spider egg at the magician in the second world.  She will explain it's
usage.  Once you have it, you use it on the fountain (or the mud, I
haven't figured it out) to remove the guardians grasp from the world.

2) Am I missing something!?!  Where is the rod for the magic staff?

The spider egg is in the sewers, it shouldn't be too hard to find (in an
alcove on either the 4th or 5th level)...

The pearl is given to you...

The rod is found in the 4th world lying in a room filled with odd stuff.

3) Where are the black stones!?!

First world... it's at the top of the tower...
Second world... it's in a pit filled with Headlesses past a magical trap...
Third world... It's lying on a plateau past a river in the ice world.  If
you don't have the patience to go around when you first see it (I didn't)
cast water walk and jump to jump up to it.
Fourth world... It's in the center of the lava pit where they dispose of
things...
Fifth world... It's somewhere past the final test (there are eight) (in one of
the rooms, possible a secret door, I forget...)
Sixth world... The top arena duelist has it.
Seventh... working on it
Eighth... working on that one too...

4) I have the stone but am stuck as far as the puzzle for a world is
concerned.  Can I just take the stone and run?

No such luck.  You need to locate the item or place that the Guardian has
power or drains power from a world using the magical staff/sceptre that
you assemble.  At this point, it seems the stones only keep the passage open
for you so you don't have to stand there waiting for the portal to open.  (and
makes the final solution possible).

5) How do I REALLY destroy the black rock cage?

It seems that you need to remove the sources of power supporting it (ie:
alternate worlds)

6) Where do the cats from the second world come from?

I don't know, I'm not sure yet!?!
I don't know about the banner yet either!?!

7) What "secret spells" are there?

Turn Undead 	AKC
Flame Reduction IAF
Time Trap	ITJ
Locate		BWE

Others that I haven't found yet...

8) Where are there Flam, Hur, Vas, and Tym stones?

The mages tower (5th world) has a few stones at the end.  Flam, and Vas...
and Hur and Tym... and... (You get the idea).

9) Where are those stupid stones!?!  I finished the final exam for the
mages tower and I still can't find them...

You need to enter the void and at some point, you can walk straight into
the "darkness" the are your "walls".  Save your game alot and run straight
into "darkness" and make sure you have  some franzium!  There are force
fields.  The Flam is easy to find, it's in a chest.  There is another wall
to walk through in the secret room and past the force field in the second
passageway is a empty room.  Try search the ground for some nice magic
items as well as the Vas stone.

10) Did I miss anything blowing out those candles in the second world?

Try it once if you think you're missing something... just save first...

11) The mages puzzles are driving me crazy, how do I get through them?

Most of them a straightforward.  Be sure to read any inscriptions on the
walls.  For the test where you jump from block to block, try not to touch
any arrows, if you don't touch them, the block it points at doesn't vanish.

12) How do I get the gem to let me into a new world!?!  I'm tired of the
ones I'm on...

I think there is a time delay on them or something.  Haven't figured it
out yet myself, but it lets me into the all... eventually.

13) What is the best way to kill people in the arenas in world 6?

There is no good arena of the fire/water/earth/air arenas.  Fire has
annoying fireballs that hit you (and your enemy).  Water has ice and
water.  Earth is nice (basically a normal arena) and air has little
floater things like on world 4 that send you flying upwards.
The guy with the blackrock stone is easiest killed with a missile
protection spell and a good weapon or a shockwave spell and frost wand
(they don't miss!).  Also, if you take the second approach, you can
alternate back and fourth and blow away his comrades too (I killed all of
his friends and him this way :). )


Oh well, enough spoilers for now...  (and by the way, I don't play UW2 all
the time, only about 4 hours a day (still alot) )
