AntMag.NET

You are now in the Cellar Archives. As soon as you enter this room, quickly run forward. The environment changes and water fills up the room. Don't panic!

The first section of the Cellar Archives has a hall going straight forward with boxes. To the right, there is a room with a lever that opens a door at the very end. This room also contains books that can distract the monster. The hall continues to the right, with boxes to jump on for safety. Midway, shelves hold books for distraction. The hall then turns left, leading to a gate that requires the lever to open.
