Hub 1: Guardian of Ice

This is the first and largest of the maps linked off of HUB2: 7 portals. it's theme is (you guessed it!) ice.

walkthrough
this one has alot of long drops and crushers, so watch it. wendigos are more big and scary than a threat, they die quickly (but do alot of damage so kill them fast). there are some bugs of being trapped in rooms and such, use"casper"if you have to. this map is linked to and from alot.

First Visit:

go through the passageway directly in front of you (watch out for the ambush of ettin!) make your way to the end (NOTE: all doors are barred, they open later). you will come to a large completely bare room, walk to the far end, go back to the entrance of the room. the floor should be lowering into stair to a lower level, there are some ettin to kill (if they are hard, see the secrets/tricks section). after that, go down and collect the items you want and click the switch. some parts of the floor will move about (they killed my brother in multi-player once so watch it), one on them is the exit portal. If you look closely you might see that one is illuminatingly different than the others, step on that one. (WARNING: the wrong ones are crushers, the one that is not is random on each play). this will take you back to the seven portals map.

Second visit:

look around, there are some switches higher up on the back wall, far to the sides. go and pull them, use Jumping.
