To save all the prisoners, just follow the steps below.
- Lower the difficulty to Explorer, which will give you 8 turns instead of 6.
- Equip spells or potions that will help increase your movement speed. Spells like Haste and Misty Step can be used for several turns.
- Try to rescue Duke Ravengard or Omeluum first. You can find the Duke after descending the ladder and making your way to the east cells.
- Split your party to make things easier. Send each member to different cells to free the prisoners
- While encountering enemies, try not to attack back and lose a turn. Rather take the attack so the prisoners can escape
- You can use minions to distract the enemies as well.
Sometimes you might encounter a bug where all prisoners cannot escape through the ladder. You can ignore them and continue freeing the others. This will still count as an escaped prisoner, thus completing the puzzle.
