The Crystal Sword is on the first level of Harkyn's castle in the south-east region. Make sure that someone has a space to carry the item. It's guarded by a Jabberwock. Supposedly this is what you need to kill the Crystal Golem, although I believe that I killed it by other means. You need to find the wizard Kylearan in order to get to Mangar's Tower. And even then, you have to go through the sewers...but I think you know that. I just solved it last night. Good luck. Hope this helped. Jaxon.
