Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Go up the steps on your left to confront a few golems, then head west up some more steps to a rectangular hallway. Head past some nitrogolems to reach the east side of the hallway, then go into the neighboring bedchamber where undead warriors and gargoyles are guarding the yellow key; taking it will reveal a fire gargoyle in front of you, and open monster closets behind you holding followers of D'Sparil. Return to the hallway and go to the south side to find a yellow key door, then open it to confront a sabreclaw and get outside.
Go to the stable at the south-west corner of the hideout and enter it to find a follower guarding an ethereal crossbow, take the weapon then go back to the south side of the hideout; some wooden bars in the cliff wall have opened and released more sabreclaws. Go inside the cavern to find a torch, press the switch in the south-east corner then go round to the north-east side of the hideout where a door has opened and released some followers. Take the dragon claw behind the door, then activate the metal lift on the opposite wall and ride it up to find three golems protecting the green key.
Go back outside and head round to the east side of the hideout to find a green key door with a switch behind it; the switch will open a gate behind you and reveal some weredragons and disciples of D'Sparil. Go through the gate and head east under a wooden bridge, then climb up some steps past a couple more weredragons to get on top of the bridge and head across it to reach the exit.
