Might and Magic IX Hints
How do I get up there the sneaky way?
1 of 10: First, you enter the prison through the secret entrance.
2 of 10: Then you climb up a ladder and open a trap door to find yourself in a small storage room on the prison's lowest level.
3 of 10: Make your way north and west to where you can climb up a ladder.
4 of 10: However, don't go all the way to the top. Halfway up the ladder is a secret door that you can open. If your Perception isn't high enough to see it, then "use" around until you find it.
5 of 10: You'll end up in the kitchen, and Aymril Banito will accost you. (NOTE: You could enter the prison through the front door and travel to the kitchen from there instead of using the secret entrance.)
6 of 10: Tell him that you're here to rescue General Forktooth, and he'll agree to help you if you rescue his brother, too.
7 of 10: He'll unlock the cow's cage, so go inside and kill the cow to get it out of the way, and then open a secret door inside the cage.
8 of 10: That'll get you to a room with a secret illusion wall that you can walk right through.
9 of 10: Climb up the ladders you find and use the secret door above the second one to open it and emerge in a smithy. (Note that the board the anvil is on reopens the secret passage when you're ready to leave.)
10 of 10: From there, it's a short jog to the guard room with the levers that open the prison cells. Note that you'll have to kill the two guards since you don't have a visitor's pass.
