The citizens of Camlorn can also give directions to the temple if the Champion does not know where it is . Inside the temple , the Senior Brother Halfas Varn will greet the Eternal Champion , and further interactions indicate that he seems to already know about the quest to discover the Crypt of Hearts . The Priest says that one of the monks , Brother Barnabas of Thetis , went crazy thinking that , " " The Emperor was captured and only an item called Staff of Chaos could free him . " " Not believing their brother , the monks did not pay any attention to his warnings .

Halfas theorizes that his Brother traveled to the Mines of Khuras , a dangerous dungeon , and certainly perished there .

After receiving a positive reply , the Senior Brother will then mark the Mines of Khuras on the map . Mines of Khuras . Recommended effects : Mines of Khuras is a bi - level dungeon and as already said by Halfas , a dangerous location . The First Level is more tricky than the other area , due to its streams of lava , while the Second Level is easier , however there is an abundant presence of abysses . Creatures encountered inside the dungeon include Homonculi and Stone Golem s . First Level . After entering Mines of Khuras , there will be two ways to reach the door to the Second Level , which is exactly south of the entrance ( " as seen on the map " ) . The way to the left will be flooded with lava , which can be passed safely with the Resist Fire effect , though still dealing damage . The way to the ring will also be flooded with lava , however this lava can be passed without the Resist Fire effect ; just by jumping from a platform to another . Still , the Eternal Champion may fail and fall into the lava , easily killing them or removing a great portion of Health . Alternatively , a magic user can use the spell Passwall to break the walls , reaching the door to the Second Level through a much shorter way . However it is important to remember that the door must be entered through the correct side , otherwise the Eternal Champion will be locked inside the walls . Regardless of the way taken , in this level the demoniac Homunculi will again appear against the Eternal Champion , mainly in the First Level . Using Resist Shock is useful when fighting these creatures at long range . Not only the first corridors , but all the First Level is flooded with lava , especially on the northeast area . Second Level . The Second Level is considerably safer than the First , not having streams of lava , but a great number of comparatively inoffensive abysses . Stone Golem s will appear in this area , these are the medium strength golem , between its Ice and Iron relatives . Stone Golems , like the Homunculi , use Shock attacks at long range . The Map Fragment stands inside a room in the southeast area locked by two doors . To reach this room , the Eternal Champion can choose to take either the upper way or the lower way ( " the map on the right shows the location of the Map Fragment , represented by a green marker " ) . Close to the Map Fragment , the remains of Brother Barnabas reveal the end of the priest who could not rescue the Emperor . Once the Eternal Champion obtained the Map Fragment , they must give it back to Halfas Varn on the Brotherhood of Seth . The Senior Brother fulfills his part of the exchange deciphering the location of Crypt of Hearts and marking it on the map .
