Steps to solving Arboria:
- Meet Hawkslayer upon entering Arboria, have him join your party. Remember the word "iceberg" that he tells you, which'll be used later.
- Go into town and get the "gill" spell from the wizards' guild.
- Talk with the King who will set you on your quest.
- Go out of town and get acorn.
- Go to lake, enter crystal palace and get water of life.
- Go to tower and on Level 3, put acorn in hole and water with the water of life.
- Get nightspear on Level 4.
- Exit tower and go to the festering pit.
- Use the spell "APAR" to get near Tslotha Garnath and kill him.
- Take EVERYTHING laying around, as all items will be used later.
- Go back to the King and get access to the grove.
- Enter the grove and go to bowl in the cavity of Valarian's chest.
- Put the heart of Tslotha in bowl and water with water of life.
- A door opens to the left. Get the arrows of life and the bow.
- Take items to old man in main universe. Hawkslayer will not teleport with you when you go back, so strip him of all possessions before leaving.
