What do I do in the guarded compound?
  • 1 of 6: Well, when you first enter, a mage and a thief threaten you.
  • 2 of 6: Ask to take their "lesson" and they will leave.
  • 3 of 6: Explore around, looking for traps on the containers.
  • 4 of 6: Once you go upstairs, you will get into a VERY difficult fight with many mages and tough warriors.
  • 5 of 6: Once you beat them, track down the mage and thief from the beginning, and kill them.
  • 6 of 6: You're now free to loot the complex, but be careful, because almost all of the containers are trapped.
