Ceramic Manor
Back to Death’s Door
You’ll find Pothead at the entrance and he tells you to go ahead. To open the door you’ll need to break the 2 Soul Jars. This will be a common mechanic in this manor.
In the next room you’ll find the Reaper Door and a lift. You won’t be able to access the lift to the area beneath the manor until you have the fireball spell to light the braziers.
Take the stairs up the center floor and meet the Ancient Door. To open it you’ll need to free 4 Souls. Go up the stairs to the top level and you’ll find Life Seed #9. On the other side of the Ancient Door on the top level you’ll find Pot #10.
Head down the stairs to the middle floor and take the only available exit to the southeast.
Kill the one real pot enemy in the fireplace room to unlock the next gate and go through.
Make your way down the hallway, kill the 2 wizards to open the next gate and take the southern exit. In the next rom you’ll find Life Seed #10 on top of a shelf.
Then shoot an arrow through the fire to light the brazier on the right of the ladder. Climb up next to it and shoot and arrow across to light the other brazier. This lowers down the Key. Grab the key and climb up the ladder to the room above.
In this room you’ll need to break the 4 Soul Jars. There’s one next to the locked door, one on the second floor under the walkway and one at the end of the walkway. Drop down on to the table and shoot across to the Soul Jar on the other table to smash the last jar.
Go through the door and shoot an arrow through the fire to burn up the cobwebs blocking the next door. Go through to the north and you’ll find Pot #11 on the left.
In this room you’ll need to bring the fire around to burn the cobwebs blocking the door. Climb up the small ladder and shoot south through the fire.
Head to the north for a battle with the first Stone Golem. After it’s defeated climb up the ladder and free Spirit #1.
Head back to the room with the shelves and you’ll see the Witch. Ignore her or hit her and then take the exit through the crawlway.
This takes you back to the central room with the Ancient Door. You do have a key so you can go through one of the locked doors. I went through the lower door to the northwest of the Ancient Door first.
In this room you’ll need to kill all the hopping jars to unlock the gate. There’s also Life Seed #11 on the end of the shelf.
Climb up the ladder and run around to grab the life seed then head through the open gate.
In the dark room light all the braziers, grab the Key and head up the ladder. Break all the crates in the storage room for Life Seed #12.
Take the exit to the hallway. There are three exits from this hallway. We’ll start with the door to the top left.
It looks just like an empty bathroom but you’ll spot the reflection of 2 Soul Jars on the shiny floor.
One is on the floor by the bathtub and the other on the shelf. Break them to open an invisible door to the northwest for Vitality Shrine #2.
Go back to the hallway and take the exit to the north. In this bedroom you’ll need to break 4 Soul Jars. There’s one by the locked door, one on the higher ground above the bed and one on the back cabinet (climb up the ladder to shoot an arrow at it).
The final Soul Jar is the same height as the bed so drop onto the bed and shoot an arrow to break it.
Go through the door and drop down to the room below. Destroy all of the ceramic creatures and head up the ladder to the north. You’ll find Pot #12 on the landing above.
Go through to the northeast and get ready for another Stone Golem fight. This one has other enemies to help in the fight.
Once it’s been defeated climb up the ladder and free Spirit #2. Head back the way you came and you’ll see the Witch again. Once you get to the hallway take the exit to the southeast.
This leads to a large ballroom. At the southern end you’ll find Life Seed #13.
When you enter the central part of the ballroom you’ll be attacked by the Pot Boss. You can escape its spinning attack by standing on the stairs.
Once it’s defeated climb up the ladder to the rafters above. On the rafters you’ll find 2 Soul Jars that you can break to unlock the door to the north. You can also break the chandelier with the Soul Orb and it will drop to the floor below so you can pick it up.
Explore the rest of the rafters for Life Seed #14 in the middle and Pot #13 and the Old Engagement Ring on the far side.
Go through the door to the north and use the one fire pit to light all the rest of the fires. Once all the fires are lit go up the ladder to the south for a secret. In the room above you’ll find a Soul Orb.
Drop back down and then use the fire to burn the cobwebs on the ladder to the north. Climb up and you’ll find Pot #14. Go through the next door to find Spirit #3.
Make your way back and drop down the hatch in the fire room. This drops you down to the room with the Ancient Door.
Just one more spirit to go so head up the stairs and go through the door to the north.
This is a large room, divided in the center, with bookshelves on either side. You’ll need to smash the 4 Soul Jars to unlock the door to the northwest.
There’s a Soul Orb in the first section on a middle shelf. You can drop off from the top and pick it up as you fall down. There’s also 2 Soul Jars here. One you can smash with your sword the other you’ll need to shoot with an arrow.
On the other side you’ll find Life Seed #15 on the top of a shelf and the third Soul Jar on the ground.
The final soul jar is on a shelf at the back of the room. You can just walk along the tops of the shelves to reach it.
Head through the northwest door into a kind of storage room. Climb up the ladder in the back corner and use the fire to first burn the cobwebs on the other ladder and light the brazier.
This lowers down the Key. Drop down and pick it up. Climb up the ladder that you just cleared of cobwebs and follow the tops of the shelves around to Pot #15, a lever to lower down a ladder for a shortcut and the entrance to the next arena.
Go through and take out the final Golem. This one will spawn in wizard enemies to help. Once it’s been defeated climb the ladder to free Spirit #4.
Return the way you came and go through the Ancient Door.
Hall of Doors
Head up the stairs to the Chest and go inside for an arena battle. As usual you’ll have four waves of enemies with various kinds of ceramic pots, wizards and a Golem.
After the battle you’ll be rewarded with the Flame Spell. This shoots out a fireball that you can use to light fires yourself.
Head down the stairs and light the brazier to open the first gate. You can break jars to get your magic back if you need it.
Continue down and then go under the stairs and around for a Soul Orb.
Continue down and you’ll find a Reaper’s Logbook along the way, as well as another Soul Orb.
Light a final brazier to open the gate back to the main section of the Hall of Doors. Visit the Vault Manager if you want to purchase any upgrades.
