-SPOILERS- The Big/Great Secret Pillar Locations

[Andras4EvEr]

Spoilers!!1!1. This is old, but I just finished it. This will only help you if you've completed and walked everywhere you can walk on Drayk's Vale, Ancient Crypt, Diarazad, The Junkyard, Dry Wastes, Western Wastes, Valley of the Wind, and Spirit City (you dont have to complete the city). When I say "shaded", its the gray parts on your "mini map". Also, When you enter a map, just scan over the map and the pillar is usually on the part of the floor with white tiles. Start in Drayk's Vale. It's in the shaded part of the mini map at the bottom. Its seperate from the four pillars the shades are protecting. In Ancient Crypts, its in the peninsula-type, dead end part of the cold area where all the shades are at. In Diarazad, its in the far Southwest-ish. On the very left of the mini map, you'll see two shaded parts next to each other. It's the top one. (Its very small to see though). In The Junkyard, its at the very right of the map and its shaded. In Dry Wastes, its at the very left of the mini map and it looks like a shaded "t". In the Western Wastes, its at the very bottom left of the mini map thst looks like a shaded "t". In the Valley of The Wind, its at the very top left corner of the mini map. It is shaded, once again. The last pillar is right inside the temple in the Spirit City. Touch the bare spot and it will tell you that you have a sensation to enter deep into the temple (something along those lines). These pillars have to be done in that order, and they will ask you to touch the bare spot or not. Each time you touch a pillar (except the last one), it will say you feel nothing. If you touch a pillar and feel a stinging sensation, then you"ve done the order wrong and you must start over from the beginning. I suggest saving after successfully touching each one. Thx to all the posts that helped me, and good luck.
