Stonekeep Hints

Dark Dwarves

  • LOCATION:
    The First Level of the Tower of the Shadows
    The Lair of the Dark Dwarves

    DESCRIPITION:
    - They look like the dwarves found in the Dwarven Clanhall

    ATTACK CHARACTERSTICS:
    - Throw oil bombs, and slash with their battleaxe

    SUGGESTIONS FOR KILL THEM:
    Don't worry, Enigma kills the first one found on the first level of the Tower of the Shadows.

    When you arrive in The Lair of the Dark Dwarves, don't stand back, or you'll be fried by oil bombs.  Get in close and hit hard.  If you want to help them, run into a square room and destroy their idol (it has a head of a polearm on top).  Then, the magickal hold that makes them like animals will be broken and they'll help you out.  So, either kill them or save them.  It doesn't matter.
