How do I free everyone in the Planar prison?
  • 1 of 8: This is pretty straight forward -- just go to the east killing everything that attacks you, avoiding stopping on the mouths.
  • 2 of 8: Make note of the very hot forge.
  • 3 of 8: You'll eventually run into the Slave Master, a Ta'Narii.  Kill him, and take the controlling item.
  • 4 of 8: Remember that really hot orb?
  • 5 of 8: Bring it to the orb and use the orb to free all the slaves
  • 6 of 8: Now go to the room to the west of where the slave master was to confront the main baddy.
  • 7 of 8: He's really not too hard -- just Haste your party, and use Breach if necessary.
  • 8 of 8: Once he's dead, you'll be eventually transported back to the playhouse and be given it by the former owners (If you're a bard).
