Ruins of Desaure is a location you can enter directly from the Sleet Island. In this area you will have to find two iron keys (10.1) (12.3), which will help you get on the lower level. You will encounter some new enemies here, as a green slime, it may poison you, what will stop health regeneration. A ranged-attacking ice elemental and skeletons. There are some ways by which you will be able to enter the Archives, but this level of ruins is needed only for solving a riddle. It is worth jumping down the hole in the room with the skeletons, because you will find yourself in the special area of the Archives. After putting the keys in the right spots, a passage will be opened and you will gain an access to a Power Gem.
