How can I beat the final baddy?
  • 1 of 8: Well, he's pretty tough when he's being helped by those two giant trolls...
  • 2 of 8: So here's a little trick...
  • 3 of 8: Have a thief go into the room while hidden in shadows to initiate the dialogue.
  • 4 of 8: Thanks to a little bug, the main guy will attack the thief, but the giant trolls won't!
  • 5 of 8: Now just lure him back to your party (which I HOPE you left in the previous room).
  • 6 of 8: Beat on him until he's dead, then leave the keep.
  • 7 of 8: If you're a plain fighter, agree to take the keep over for Nalia.
  • 8 of 8: Note: If you are a dual-classed fighter, then you might want to tell her that you'll "Think about it," and you can then go get your other stronghold (mage, thief, etc.).  Then talk to Nalia again to get the keep too!
