Thanks for the insights. Kind of kicking myself for not recognizing the reference.  My Greco-Roman mythology knowledge is stronger than my Norse, but I still should have seen it.

I'm on my "completionist" playthrough, trying to find all the little things I missed on one of my various times through the various versions of the game... and I came across something I don't recall finding before in Footracer province... a message about "at the end, remember pants on the left rune..." or something like that.  very cryptic, and I failed to write it down so I don't recall the exact wording.

Can anyone give me a clue as to what this is referring to, or will I stumble on it when the time comes?

I also forget if there is ever a final reveal on the "eye tattoo" warriors and/or the "remember ourboros"message from one of the crystal souls in Ghirka. 

Having played thru all winning quests multiple times, one of the few remaining mysteries I have is this:

In the Arena City (where you rescue Spider), there is a "library" where you see "areana books."

Is there a quest involved with this room? or is it just another but of "filler detail?"

just looking for confirmation that I haven't missed something
