This is a walkthrough... yet I don't see any instructions!
The walkthrough is presented in visual form with an appended FAQ. Follow the green line on the maps.

I want to get all the loot. Where is it?
A lava gem (100 loot) is represented by a yellow dot. Follow the red lines in addition to the blue lines to get all the loot. The blue dot represents some coins scattered near a skeleton (40 loot).

What about extra objectives?
If you followed the previous walkthroughs, you should already have more than 11000 loot. So, picking up a lava gem or a coin will trigger the bonus objective.

The map shows Garrett walking over a precipice... what do I do?
It's a leap of faith. Stand just to right of the platform's other exit. Look straight out and step off the platform. Don't run, or you'll die.

How do I kill a Frost Burrick?
The same way as an ordinary burrick, but be careful, they're very good at sneaking up on you! They have fragile skulls, so an unalerted blackjack will kill them. They also are vulnerable to fire.

Why doesn't the blackjack work on the bigger burricks?
Because they're bigger, their skulls are thicker you taffer!

How do I kill a Lava Burrick?
Same way as an ordinary burrick, but fire arrows don't work. Use water arrows instead.

I've run out of weapons to kill the burricks with!
Near the lava ponds are some fire arrows, and near the bottom of the frozen waterfall are some water arrows.

How many burricks are there?
33 total. That's 17 regular frost burricks, 3 bigger frost burricks, 1 shadow burrick, two standard burricks and 10 lava burricks.

What do the crosses represent?
The start/end of the level.

I found an inaccuracy in the map!
Well, of course! In the thief tradition there are several inacuracies. Nothing major though.
