How do I fix the Flail of Ages?
  • 1 of 7: You need to bring any parts you find to the forge that is through a couple secret doors on the left side of level one of the keep.
  • 2 of 7: You don't need all 3 heads, but you will probably want them all.
  • 3 of 7: The first can be found in a lion statue to the north of the forge.
  • 4 of 7: The second can be found through a couple secret doors (through Nalia's aunt's room) on the second floor.  It's in one of the statues in the room with all the inactive golems.
  • 5 of 7: The third can be found on a charmed guard, through a bunch more secret doors, off of Lord De'Arnise's room on level 2.
  • 6 of 7: He's pretty tough to kill, so be sure to have people slow him once he drinks a haste potion, or you're in trouble.
  • 7 of 7: Once you have all 3 heads, bring them back to the forge to get the awesome Flail of Ages +3.
