Fairfax Tomb[]

After entering the Tomb there will be another group of bandits. At the very end of the corridor is a gate with two levers on either side. Activating either will unlocks the rooms at the sides of the corridor and free the bandits, hobbes and balverines. After killing them the gate can be unlocked by pulling the other lever. Follow the path down the stairs whilst fighting off the hobbes to a dive point. Jump down into the water below and swim towards the stairs at the end of the room. Defeat the wave of hobbes guarding a stone door with a flit switch. After approaching the flit switch it will activate and fly towards the corner of the room near the entrance. Shoot the flit switch with a ranged weapon once where it will move, shoot the switch again and then hit it with a melee weapon to open the door. Beyond this door is a room with a few beetles and another flit switch. Use a will spell (such as lightning) on the switch and then shoot the switch with a ranged weapon three times to unlock the final door.

The Potion[]

After entering the room, the Hero can find a number of chests and will be congratulated on acquiring a special potion - the Potion of Transmogrification. The Hero is given the choice of either drinking it or leaving the room with the bottle. This potion (mentioned as Leo Head's last and greatest success) will change the Hero's gender and can only be used once.
