Vulgrim's Hideout

Location: Forge Lands

This very small location is a part of the Fjord, and it's detailed here only because it hides a Book of the Dead page. What's more, obtaining all of its secrets involves a fixed set of Death's abilities. Vulgrim's Hideout is located in the north of the Fjord, not far from Oran.

Do business with Vulgrim if you want to, then use Voidwalker (or Phasewalker) on the inactive portal pictured above.

Start scaling the wall where shown on the screen. The goal is to get to the top area of the ruins, where a chest with some random valuable lies.

Stay on the upper level and face the gap in the wall as seen on the screenshot. Activate the second portal through the wall.

Go back to the first activated portal and jump through. Grab a shadowbomb and approach the hole in the wall. Throw the shadowbomb through it to destroy the yellow crystals on the other side (the above screen).

Grab another shadowbomb and go through the portal with it. Use it to destroy the bigger crystals, therefore unlocking access to the chest.

Finally, get to the upper balcony again and examine the area behind the destroyed crystals to find a Book of the Dead page ([The Book of the Dead] side quest). That's it, you've got all the secrets you've come here to get.

The Temple

Location: Forge Lands

This is a very small location in the Fjord, which is described here only because there is a Book of the Dead page inside. What's more, obtaining all of its secrets involves a fixed set of Death's abilities. The temple is located in the eastern part of the Fjord, north of the Drenchfort. There is a narrow path leading to it.

Start off by looting two nearby chests. Afterwards, stand on the moving platform shown on the above screen and activate Soul Splitter.

Send each of Death's halves over to the two pressure plates pictured on the above screenshots - this will raise the platform on which the fossilized Death is standing. Deactivate Soul Splitter and immediately jump forward, so as to land on the top platform without having to repeat the last few steps.

Step on the pressure plate shown above and activate Soul Splitter again.

Have the first half go left and make its way up where shown on screenshot 1. Move left to reach an isolated area where you need to stand on the pressure plate shown on screenshot 2.

Switch to the other half. Pick up the Book the Dead page ([The Book of the Dead] side quest) illustrated above. Before leaving the temple, bash the nearby objects to spawn a chest with a random treasure.
