In Which Our Hero gets Styx water and must make two very difficult choices, and completes the Rite of Courage and begins courting Erana.
Marcus starts this video quite literally on the highway to Hell - or more appropriately, a highway in Hell. Too bad he needed to take the low way - so there's a little backtracking so he can dip an amphorae into the Styx and grab some water, along with taking the last step to create the Ring of Truth.
After that, it's back to the high way and the Guardian of the Underworld, who informs Marcus that there are two trapped souls who sense his presence and wish to be with him. It's none other than Erana and Katrina, and Marcus can choose to give one of these souls rest and send the other to Oblivion. He chooses Erana. Marcus is then given another choice: to bring Erana back to life, at the cost of his own (or at least, part of it.) Marcus chooses to bring Erana back, and is brutally beaten by two spirits until he passes out. He wakes up with half the vitality with which he started, and Erana tells him that she'll be waiting.
It's time to get the Hell out of Hell. Marcus backtracks until he finds himself aboveground once more, and the gates of Hell close behind him.
Marcus stands around dumbfounded, then activates his mystic magnets back to his room. It's late. Next morning, he's off to the apothecary where he proudly delivers the Lethe water in an awkwardly-acted conversation with Salim. Then it's off to the Hall of Kings where Marcus is declared the winner of the Rite of Courage.
The next Rite should come as no surprise: Marcus is to broker peace between the Tritons of Atlantis and the people of Silmaria. Hey, remember when this was called Quest for Glory 3? Yeah.
After receiving this Rite, Marcus visits Erana and showers her with gifts and affection. She seems somehow distant though, so the key to her heart might be a little more complex than Marcus first thinks...
