What should I do with the "hissing guy" (Lehtian)?
  • 1 of 12: Well, he seems to be offering some "special entertainment."
  • 2 of 12: Ask him about it to be able to enter the back rooms.
  • 3 of 12: A guy in the room to the right will tell you some things about the entertainment offered -- slaves, gladiators, etc.
  • 4 of 12: Go up from where you entered and fight your way through guards (you can't avoid them).
  • 5 of 12: In one of the cells, you will find a gladiator (Hendak) who will ask you to free him.
  • 6 of 12: I strongly advise agreeing.
  • 7 of 12: He says that you can open his cell with a key that is held by the beastmaster, to the south.
  • 8 of 12: Go down south through the gladiator pits, and fight the beastmaster, with his annoying pet tigers.
  • 9 of 12: Take the key back to the gladiator and open his cell -- he tells you to come help you kill Lehtian.
  • 10 of 12: So do it!
  • 11 of 12: Go back to the entrance, fighting any guards you run into, and kill Lehtian. Don't worry, the gladiator won't kill him until you're there.  :-)
  • 12 of 12: After you kill Lehtian, the gladiator will ask you to free the slaves.
