1. Altar

3. Dexam
4. Manticores
5. Otyughs
6. Elf Fighter Corpse
7. Gryphons
8. Trap
9. Stairs to Leave the Lair
You’re now at 1 confronting the evil beholder but Fzoul, the actual lord of the keep, intervene with
his men to stop Dexam. During the conversation that follows your fourth bond disappears.
Now Dexam’s minions and Fzoul’s soldiers battle each other so sneak past them and exit the room
by the north door.
You must now
find and kill Dexam so disband
the ogres at 2 and go
directly to 3. Rest before
entering and
cast some protective spells. With
Dexam there are some minotaurs and
the hooded
woman that reveals herself to be a medusa. Cast a couple of “Fireball” spells to clean the area from
the medusa and the minotaurs then concentrate your melee power on Dexam. Your only way to end
this combat with all your characters alive is to end it quickly. When finished choose to continue the
combat to heal
your party because you’re immediately
attacked by Zhentrim forces but
some
“Fireball” spells will end the problem.
You’ve now recovered the last artefact mentioned by Dimswart: the amulet of Lathander. (Note that
you obtained the
first one, the Helm of Dragons,
by killing Dracandros and the
second one, the
Gauntlet of Moander, by eliminating the three bits of Moander). Feel free to explore the lair now
and destroy all monster groups. Get the treasure on the elf body at 6 disarming his trap then exit the
lair from 9. Olive will escort you out in the wilderness. You cannot re-enter the city because of a
civil war but it doesn’t really matter, there is only one bond left on your arm.
Now, before the final part of the game, it’s a good time to fulfil some side-quests. In every city not
included in the main path there are secret dungeons if you choose to “Search the area” instead of
entering it. In nearly all of these dungeons there is a mini-quest randomly placed in them so your
main objective is to travel across these levels to uncover the quests and make a lot of experience
along the way.
When you’ve finished with the
side-quests return to the Standing
Stone and the
mysterious man will reveal himself. Your new destination is Myth Drannor so journey on and enter
the city.
Here follows the maps of these dungeons:
