Enter the
Steading at 12. It is now
controlled by giants so be careful
when dealing with them
because as soon
as you enter the building you’re
greeted by one of them. Choose
“Talk” and
proceed north at
2. This time you’ve to fight
them. It’s a split attack but
it poses no threat. Go
further north to 3 and watch the battle in progress. Choose “Wait” for fighting only the winners.
Enter the inn at 4 where you’ll meet Kardal. After his speech rest and heal then enter the room at 6
to fight a band of cloud giants. With this you’ll earn the respect of the hill giants. Rest again if you
need it and leave the inn.
Go to 5 if you need training or to 8 if you need a shop. Now it’s time to make some experience so
clean all the
ten rooms to the south. (Note
that you can rest in each room that you clean). Now
approach the fire knives quarters situated near the shop and make your way for the commander at 9.
Eliminate him and his forces to obtain some useful information. Rest and cross the door situated
north of the location at 3. From now on there is only one place where you can freely rest so be
careful.
The path is almost straightforward so go to 10 and retrieve Kardal’s dagger then save and enter the
room at 11. Fight an assorted band of monster to release Kardal and, after the fight, proceed to the
room at 12. There are some giants here but if you choose “Challenge their Attitude” you can avoid
the fight and
go on to 13. This room is
optional but there is a lot
of treasure if you’re able to
dispatch the dragons.
Continue your journey across two other rooms with monsters and save before entering the room at
14. Enter and
fight the Hill Giant Shaman and
his forces. Before the beginning of the battle the
shaman will cast a spell to reduce your party HP by 1/3 but you can’t prevent it. By the way the
battle is quite simple if you use some “Delayed Blast Fireballs” to quickly eliminate the mages and
then use your fighters to finish the job.
After the battle enter the treasure vault at 15 to retrieve some weapons along with a copper key and
a book. Rest, heal and save then cross the door at 16 to enter the Fire Giants Cave.
