Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 5: There's a total of 11 treasure chests in the fort, including a black chest in the north central room. Raid them all!
  • 2 of 5: There's another teleporter that leads back down to Frosgard in the far north room of the SE section. You need Yanmir's Key to unlock the door leading to it.
  • 3 of 5: In the rooms with three Ice Lobbers, you can really rack up the experience by finding a corner to stand in and killing all the pods that get lobbed at you. You have to have quite a few hit points and good weapon skills to do this for very long, but it's well worth it!
  • 4 of 5: If you return to the fort after killing Yanmir and leaving, you'll find a bunch of Forest Giants in Yanmir's old throne room. They're trying to take over the joint! You might could trick them into falling through the floor hole that Yanmir made by entering that area and hiding behind a pillar next to the hole, but it's not worth the risk of being knocked into the hole. Just come back when you can take the giants down in direct face-to-knee combat.
  • 5 of 5: If you do fall through the Yanmir floor hole, all you have to do to survive is have the Feather Fall spell in effect. You'll end up landing safely on an ice chunk near the Frosgard City docks.
