The dragon from the first game has returned in a new and terrifying form — reborn as a lich, a creature that exists between life and death, and more powerful than ever. Sir Merdimek takes up the quest to hunt the creature down and destroy the source of its power, eliminating it for good this time. The path forward winds through locked doors deep in the dungeons, where only the right keys open the way to the Cross of the Lich — the artifact that sustains the dragon's undead existence.
