How do I find and free General Forktooth?
  • 1 of 7: He's locked in a cell on the top level of the prison.
  • 2 of 7: There are two different ways to get up to where he is: the regular way and the sneaky way.
  • 3 of 7: Once you're on the top level, find the guard room and hit all the levers near the door to open all the cells.
  • 4 of 7: If you talked to Aymril Banito and agreed to free his brother, you'll find him in one of the cells. Talk to him and tell him he's free. (Don't skip this, since you get some experience points for it.)
  • 5 of 7: Then find Forktooth and talk to him to get him to follow you out of here.
  • 6 of 7: When leaving, you have to go back the way you came if you came up the regular way. If you used the secret way, you can go back that way or the direct down-the-stairs way.
  • 7 of 7: Don't worry about Forktooth keeping up with you or getting killed; he'll always appear and talk to you when you exit the prison.
