Might and Magic IX Hints
Disable Anskram Keep's defenses.
1 of 9: This is the first of the two quests that Sigmund the Stressed gives you to do before he'll join the alliance.
2 of 9: Travel back to Sturmford and go back to the keep.
3 of 9: Don't enter the keep, but instead climb up to the top level of its outer fortifications again.
4 of 9: Now walk around the central area with the two big doors and look for two small trap doors on the floor.
5 of 9: Use one (or both) to open it, and then climb down inside.
6 of 9: Hit the lever near the windows to raise the portcullis.
7 of 9: Then break the two chains to lower the drawbridge.
8 of 9: Don't attack the big wound-up chain sections, but instead look up and shoot the chains where they're stretched tight across the ceiling.
9 of 9: Once the drawbridge is down and the portcullis is raised, report back to Sigmund to finish this quest.
