Might and Magic VII: For Blood and Honor Hints

How can I get through the Breeding Zone?

  • 1 of 13: You will get this quest from Archibald Ironfist in Castle Gloaming in The Pit.  He asks you to go through the main door of the Breeding Zone and leave through another exit.  You will receive 50,000 XP as a bonus upon completing this quest.
  • 2 of 13: The Breeding Zone is to the west of the main entrance of The Pit, at (-5383, 457).
  • 3 of 13: You will need to start by jumping into the pit north of the entrance, which is filled with behemoths.  You can either choose to fight them or else jump in the west side of the pit and just run past them.
  • 4 of 13: Take the tunnel to the west of the pit until it leads to another room, and then look for a secret door.
  • 5 of 13: There is a secret door on the west side of the room.  Open it and turn north.
  • 6 of 13: You eventually want to head to the north of this passage -- through the area that shows up on the automap as a series of raised blocks -- but you need to lower those blocks first.
  • 7 of 13: Head east and press the buttons in a room at the end of the passage to lower the blocks, and then head through the room with the now-lowered blocks to find a stream running through that next room.
  • 8 of 13: The button on the far side of the stream opens the other door out of the Breeding Zone.
  • 9 of 13: You can either use the Telekinesis spell to push it, or else drink out of the western fountain to reveal a bridge that leads you across the stream.
  • 10 of 13: Either way, you need to jump down into the stream, and most likely fight the behemoths you will find down there.  (It might be possible to run past them, but don't count on it.)
  • 11 of 13: I found that it was easiest to head to the west in the stream as quickly as possible.  Then, turn north at the west end of the stream, and look for a narrow passage leading out of the room where the stream starts.
  • 12 of 13: If you go far enough in the passage, the behemoths will stand outside waiting for you but won't be able to reach in to attack you.  You can kill them with little trouble.
  • 13 of 13: Once you've killed enough behemoths to get past them, head down the east end of the stream and turn north at the end.  The room you will find there has the other door out of the Breeding Zone.
