The Cage
Items in this room:
Gold Coins: 0 | Keys: 2 | Potions: 0 | Gems: 0
Straight ahead is a device with a lever on the side and various runes in a display area. On the side opposite the lever hangs a Large Key. You'll probably be attacked by a Spider when going for the key, so be on your guard.
Facing the giant cage, look to the left. There's a barrel sitting beside the wall. If you inspect it, you'll spot a drawing of a flame on the lid. This flame marks this as a combustible barrel. Stand a bit back from it and fire your Wand at it to blow it up. A Spider will charge out of the new hole in the wall, so quickly blast it. Approach the destroyed wall and grab the Wheel off of the pipe there. Return to the device with the lever and runes, and place the Wheel onto the large bolt in the front to attach it.
Now for the fun part of the room. There's an item we need inside the giant cage, but it's currently swarming with Large Spiders. Behind the rune device is a large pipe. If you shoot fire into the opening, the fire will travel through the pipe and emerge out of another pipe opening in the cage. The fire will shoot across the room until it hits a wall or a creature. The goal is to shoot all the spiders using this method. But how do you aim at them while they wander?
You'll notice on the rune device that there's at arrow pointing at one of the runes. Inside the cage, the corresponding rune is lit up. This is where the fire will emerge. There are two ways to manipulate where the fire emerges. The first is the Wheel that we attached earlier. This will move the arrow left and right to point at different runes, which changes where the fire emerges. The second thing we can do is to move the lever up and down, which changes which "floor" the fire will emerge from. With the lever at the bottom, the fire will emerge closer to the floor. With it at the top, the fire will be closer to the ceiling.
I can't really give you a set strategy here, as the spiders are on the move. You basically just need to experiment with the runes to aim the fire as best you can at the fierce arachnids. After defeating six Large Spiders, the cage will be safe to move into. Use the Large Key to unlock the door and walk inside. Summon Odin, and use his Odin Vision to spot a hidden chest along the back wall. Fire your Wand in that direction to reveal it. Once that chest is opened, take the Shield orb and then grab the Large Key. Now that we have the new key, we can head through the exit door.
