In one of the rooms, Nameless Hero meets Orc Colonel, the leader of the orcs on the islands of Irdorath and Khorinis.

After a short fight, Orc Colonel and his elite warriors are defeated. Nameless Hero picks a mysterious key from Colonel's corpse. This key can be used to open the cells and free Pedro, but the cells are guarded by a cave troll. After slaying the beast, the protagonist frees the novice.

Pedro knows a secret passage in the Orc Colonel's chamber, but in exchange for this knowledge, he pleads Nameless Hero to give him shelter on the ship. Back on the way to the ship, the crew is surprised by orc warriors, but they fail to assault the ship. After reaching the ship, Pedro gives Nameless Hero information about the secret passage. The chosen one returns to the Orc Colonel's chamber and opens the secret passage by pulling the left and right torches. Before doing so, he can take Angar with him.

Fire Dragon – Feodaron

A secret passage in the Orc Colonel's chamber leads Nameless Hero to a large cave where dragon eggs are kept. Here he is attacked by dozens of lizardmen, the guards of dragon's eggs. After a brutal battle with the enemy's hosts, the lizardmen's mission fails, and the dragon eggs are taken by the Hero. Reaching the end of the cave, the hero meets Feodaron - a fire dragon who seeks revenge for the slaying of his brother, Feomathar. After a short conversation with the dragon, the protagonist kills the beast and takes the dragon's heart.

Behind the fire dragon there is a drawbridge, but the switch is nowhere to be found. The hero returns to the ship and consults Diego , who proposes that Hero finds the switches on the other side and activates them by shooting a bow or crossbow.

Going across the bridge, into the depths of the island, Nameless Hero reaches the Temple of Beliar, but Angar's headache prevents him from going any further. Nameless Hero enters the temple alone, where he is attacked by surprise by groups of skeletons under the command of the powerful shadow lord and the fallen paladin Archol. After a fierce battle, the dark warrior is freed. From his corpse Nameless Hero picks a key to continue his journey, but before that he discovers an alchemist's room.

There the protagonist uses the heart of Feodaron to charge the Eye of Innos. In the same chamber, Nameless Hero finds the recipe for Embarla Firgasto – an ancient potion made from dragon eggs. After creating the potion, Nameless Hero is ready to go further. But he's stopped by a closed gate. To open it, he must defeat the keymaster, fight the undead and orcs and activate the right combinations of buttons. After that, the protagonist opens the door and reaches the main hall.

The final battle with evil

In the main hall, the Hero is attacked by many Seekers, but the enemies are killed quickly. In front of the gate the protagonist encounters its guardian, the Necromancer. After a short conversation, the Necromancer is defeated. After taking the key and the scroll from the his body, the Hero finds and takes the Eye of Power from the Necromancer's chest, which is located in one of the chambers. With the scroll and the Eye of Power, Nameless Hero opens the great gate.

After reaching the top of the stairs, the protagonist meets the source of evil – the Undead Dragon, the lord of Irdorath and one of Beliar's greatest servants. After talking to him, Nameless Hero defeats the beast. Before the final blow all of a sudden Xardas appears in front of the dragon and absorbs the power of the fallen beast. After completing the ritual, Xardas disappears.
