Maugrim's Sanctuary
A- To War Zone
B- Aribeth
C- Maugrim
D- The Fourth Word of Power
Aribeth is very powerful. She's a 20th-level paladin/18th-level
cleric. She has a devastating assortment of spells and is immune to
critical hits, death magic, fear, paralysis, and mind-affecting
spells. If that weren't enough, her sword has vampiric regeneration
and does additional damage against good-aligned players. The good
news? She'll eventually surrender. When she does, you may be able
to convince her to return to Nasher. If you have her ring it will
help, but you can still persuade her to do so. If you don't, you'll
have to finish her off.
The fallen Aribeth.
Maugrim is an 8th-level cleric/20th-level wizard, and he has two
servants of flesh (19th-level constructs) at his side. Get in close
and start hammering away--he has very little in the way of
protection from melee, so the battle should be slightly easier than
the previous one, at least once the servants of flesh are out of
the way. When Maugrim is dead, grab the fourth Word of Power and
return to Castle Never.
The Source Stone
In Castle Never, return to the dungeon and talk to Haedraline. She
will tell you that you need to enter the Source Stone and kill
Morag. Descend to the caverns, place the fourth Word of Power in
the empty altar, then enter the Source Stone.

A- To Castle Never
B- Asheera
C- To Source Stone: Guardian Lair
In the first tunnel, you will meet Asheera, a strange woman who
resembles Aribeth. Asheera will give you her amulet, which gives
you an armor class bonus of +5 versus reptilian monsters, 50%
immunity to electrical and fire damage, and a spell resistance
bonus of 18. Unfortunately, as of v1.19, the item has a level
requirement of 26 so you won't be able to equip it. This is a
shame, because you'll face a small army of Old Ones in the
Sanctuary. When you reach the center of the caverns, rest up, then
use the portal to reach the Guardian Lair.

B- Guardian Dragons
C- To Source Stone: Inner Sanctum
The final battle.
Not one but two dragons await you: a 26th-level corrupted copper
dragon and a 28th-level corrupted silver dragon. They will both
attack at once. Stay near the portal to the sanctuary if you can't
take them simultaneously and do hit-and-run tactics. Once they are
dead, pick up both guardian keys and unlock the gates to the north.
Before you step in the final portal, rest up and save your game.
There's no turning back (or resting) once you enter the inner
sanctum.

B- Morag's Chosen
C- Morag
The first room contains four of Morag's chosen (15th-level
fighters/5th-level humanoids) and an Old One cleric (15th level).
Though this is a tough fight, save your most powerful spells and
attacks for the room ahead. When you reach the final cavern, you
will face Morag (19th-level wizard). She's immune to pretty much
everything, but she won't be if you take out her protectors. There
are eight of them, protected by a permanent wall of blades, but
ranged attacks will kill them easily. Once they are dead, attack
Morag with everything you have, ignoring the minions she summons
in. Once she dies, escape to the portal. And enjoy your
victory.
