Imprison Njam the Meddler in the Tomb of 1000 Terrors.
  • 1 of 10: When you talk to Krohn in the Hall of the Gods (get there via Lloyd's Beacon or dying again to get to Arslegard City), he sees that your Writs of Fate are forgeries made by Njam the Meddler.
  • 2 of 10: He then quests you with imprisoning Njam in the Tomb of 1,000 Terrors.
  • 3 of 10: First, locate the entrance to the Tomb of 1,000 Terrors so you'll know where it is. (It's actually called "Thousand Terrors," and that's how I label it in my Arslegard City hint section.)
  • 4 of 10: It's in the grassy area in the SW part of Arslegard City, along the west wall.
  • 5 of 10: Now go find Njam's house and use the key Krohn gave you to enter.
  • 6 of 10: It's the big house just NE of the Bathhouse entrance.
  • 7 of 10: You may have a little trouble with the door. After all, it's only natural that Njam's door is njammed. (Actually, I think it's just a game glitch. If it happens to you, try moving up against the door and facing it at different angles.)
  • 8 of 10: Once you're in Njam's house, take and read the scroll on the nearby table. It outlines Njam's nefarious plans to wreak havoc and imprison and replace Krohn. With that scroll in your possession, Njam is bound to be interested in following you around and trying to kill you.
  • 9 of 10: After taking the scroll, wait for Njam to appear, then run for the tomb entrance.
  • 10 of 10: Once you enter it, see the Thousand Terrors section for hints on how to imprison Njam and win the game.
