After locating
and entering the secret entrance, Nalia informs you to locate a servant
named "Daleson". Enter the first door, and check the
area for items. If you stand idle for a moment, a secret entrance will
appear. In this area, you will find a lot of secret doors. For your own
good, make it a habit of standing idle while in rooms of the Keep. After
you have spoken with Daleson, follow the series of secret doors to the
Magic Forge. Just behind the Forge, you will find another room,
which is loaded
with statues. Search this room for one of the Flail pieces. Exit from
here (back the way that you came), and cross the center of the area. You will need to fight through
clumps of Trolls, and then exit to the courtyard. Outside
in the courtyard,
you will need to deal with an "Otyugh". Once you have done
that, kill the 4 dogs. Take the hunk of "Dog Meat" off of each of
them, and then head up the staircase to the "Ramparts". Open
the wench for the drawbridge, allowing Captain Arat and his troops to
assist you. A group of Trolls will appear that this point, and begin
attacking the Garrison Guards. Take your 4 hunks of dog meat and return
to the Kitchen. Click on the oven 4 times, and you will get a pot of
"Dog Stew". Exit from the kitchen to the staircase, and go up
to De'Arnise Level 2. (1)
Daleson - Daleson is the servant of the De'Arnise Keep. Speak with
him for more information about the "hostages" and the Trolls.
Apparently, Daleson has been forced to feed the Umber Hulks in the
Cellar. He will mention his recipe for "Dog Stew", which
happens to be what the Hulks eat (4 dogs). Be humble to Daleson. Treat
him as you expect your group to treat people. If you are playing a
"Good" character, you may not like the -4 reputation penalty
for degrading Daleson. (2)
Magic Forge - In the room with Daleson, if you sit idle for a few
seconds, a series of secret doors can be found. If you follow them, you
will locate the Magic Forge. You may have heard about the super weapon
that Nalia's father has (but never wields). You will need to use this
forge after you have found all 3 of the Flail pieces. (3)
Just behind the Forge room, through another secret door, there is a
"statue room". If you search this room carefully, you will
find the "Ring of Earth Control" and the first piece of
the Flail (Flail Head: Cold). (4)
Use the oven to cook your "Dog Stew" on. You will need
4 hunks of "Dog Meat" to make the stew. You can locate
a pack of dogs just outside the Keep. Follow
up: Do not forget to return to the Magic Forge once you have located
all 3 pieces to the flail. Also:
there is a lot of ranged weapons (arrows, darts, throwing axes, etc)
scattered all over the level. Some are fire or acid based. These may
come in handy against the Trolls. To make arrows as effective as you
can, have your fighters wield one sword, and carry a box in one of their
weapon slots. After you knock a Troll to the ground, quickly select the
bow from the weapon hotkeys. Your fighter will continue attacking, but
instead of using the sword, he/she will fire an arrow (make sure that
the fire or acid arrows are selected as the weapons ammo). Warning:
Be sure to check for traps. There're a lot of them scattered around this
map and the next areas (they're
marked on the map). |
