The story

When Treguard encounters an old foe, Rupert of Armitage, at the Earl's tournament, and they soon take up their animosities again. Treguard chases Rupert into Anwin Wood, the territory of a dark elf lord. While Rupert gains entry to the court of Arawn, the Elf King, Treguard faces a battle for survival as he comes under attack. Can Velda, a rebel wood elf, help Treguard to defeat Rupert and the powerful Arawn?

The game

You will challenge the dungeon for the right to face Arawn in battle. There are more routes through the dungeon than the first playbook, though it can prove difficult to collect the combination of clues you need. Again, you will run into various familiar faces from the show, including 'Mordread', Mildread and Velda. In Level 3, you will need to combat Arawn's creatures before your final showdown with the elf lord.
