<marquee>plz help!</marquee>

Read the insciprtion first, then drown yourself on the water, after that a walkway will appear.

what do you mean by drown?

err...put yourself below the water level and let yourself be drown. ie, hp = 0.

then a walkway to the water door ( where you said you can't go before ) will appear.

The false shrine gives you an indication "Breathe the Water of Vivac..." or some such.

This is the only circumstance in the game where you will not die even if your hitpoints reach zero, afaik.
