GLACIUS CHALLENGE

Objective: Collect 10 Challenge Shields
Secrets: 5
Collector's cards:
- #1 green (goblin), Eargit the Ugly
- #2 green (goblin), Alguff the Awful
- #3 green (goblin), Ug the Unreliable
- #4 green (goblin), Urg the Unclean
- #5 green (goblin), Gringott

As the Glacius challenge begins, you face off against an Amazonian sala-
mander. See "Monster Fighting Tricks" above for details on defeating these
fiery beasts. When the salamander is defeated, you will get your first
shield. Going through the short hall, Alohomora the banner on your left
to reveal a secret room (First Secret). Open the chest inside to get some
beans and a collector's card (#1 green).

Continue on to the fountain and freeze the water. Use this first slide as
an opportunity to learn how to slalom. Some of the shields/cards in this
challenge are high on the walls of a slide, and you will have to learn how
to whip around corners and bank high on the wall to collect them. Good luck.

At the end of the slide, you reach a Save Book and a Spongify tile on a
balcony. Save your game and then bounce down into a room and defeat two
salamanders. A Spongify tile will open in the middle of the room and a
secret door will open in a near wall (Second Secret). Defeat two imps that
come out of the secret room and open the gold chest for treats and a col-
lector's card (#2 green). Be sure to Depulso the iron cauldron in the main
room, and then use the Spongify tile.

You will bounce up through a Challenge Shield and then take a long slide.
Again, use this to practice your technique, especially banking high to
catch the cauldron cakes and pumpkin pasties. Along the way, you will pick
up another shield and finally land in a marble portico. There you will be
beset by pixies; when you defeat them, a Spongify tile will open. Ignore it.

Look for the trail of beans and follow the stairs down, around the portico
to a locked door. Alohomora the door open (Third Secret) and open the chest
inside for a collector's card (#3 green). When you opened the door, a
Spongify tile extended from the stairs. Use it to bounce up and collect
a shield and continue sliding.

After a short slide, you will land on a platform with two salamanders. De-
feat them to open the dual stairways to an upper platform. On the upper
platform, Depulso the suits of armor to raise a shield. Take it, then save
at the Save Book. Now use the Spongify tile to bounce to another slide.

This is the first tricky part. After a short slide, you will come to a
split. Take the right-hand path; you will quickly have to bank back to the
left and you will see a Challenge Shield high on the right wall. You'll
need a lot of speed to bank up to it and fine control to avoid falling off
the slide. If you miss it, quickly hit Escape, re-load the game and keep
trying until you get it. **NOTE** If you get the shield, but fall off the
slide in doing so, you keep the shield! So don't worry about trying to get
it again. Soon after the shield, you will jump off the slide into a pit,
and the game loads a new section.

CHECKPOINT: You should have six Challenge Shields and three of five secrets
at this point.

You are now facing a chasm, with no apparent way across. As soon as you
take a couple of steps, pixies will appear. Dispose of them and proceed
across the new bridge in the only direction possible. Enter a room with a
salamander and destroy it. Now step back into the room entrance and cast at
the banner to your left (as you face into the room) to reveal a hidden room
(Fourth Secret). Collect beans, pasties and cakes from the chest. Then use
the Spongify tile to leap to a ledge, which will sink and extend a new
bridge across the chasm. Collect treats from the gold chest revealed be-
hind the sinking ledge.

Run across the chasm and repeat the process, without the hidden room behind
a banner. The gold chest behind this sinking ledge coughs up a collector's
card (#4 green). Go back to the bridge, turn right and jump across to the
next balcony.

As you step forward, you will have to fight two waves of four imps each.
Once the last imp is gone, the large wooden doors will open and a Challenge
Shield will appear. Step away from the doors to find a Spongify tile that
will propel you across and through the shield. Before walking through the
Save Book, Alohomora the banner on your left for a hidden room (Fifth Se-
cret) and open the gold chest. Save your game, freeze the fountain and go
sliding again.

Once again, the slide splits, and once again, take the right-hand path. The
Challenge Shield along this path is an easy pick up. After the two slides
rejoin, keep you eyes out for a collector's card (#5 green) high on the
right side of the slide. If you miss it, quickly re-load and try again. The
ninth Challenge Shield is floating at a jump point between two slides, but
it is moving back and forth. You may have to adjust the direction of your
jump to pick it up. Again, if you miss it, quickly re-load and do this
whole section over again.

Finally, you will end your slide at the final Challenge Shield and it will
be time to visit the bean bonus room. Once you exit the been bonus room and
then leave the Challenge Door area, you will go through a series of cut-
scenes that end with Ron being captured and Harry and Hermione out to save
him.
