3:57 This switch puts the chain down (4:27)

5:35 Ring and scroll are traded for spell, the only weapon that can harm the last boss, Zelek
Closing comments:
This run wasn't particularly hard to create, took few days just like the first part of the trilogy. Health management was the most crucial aspect in both games, but this game had glitches which saved some time.
The game doesn't automatically proceed to credits after the final text without input.
