NOTE: Bring a few powder kegs before you enter the dungeon!
Okay, make your way to the Lycaeum (it’s on Verity Isle, North of Moonglow) and talk to the Lord & Lady in the throne room. Lady Janell tells you to go see the two twins in Cove about the Shard of Falsehood. Her husband tells you to go see him by the Flame of Truth (on top of the castle) at midnight, as he refuses to reveal the name of the Shadowlord of Falshood in the throne room. Once you're there, you will have to do a Shrine Quest prior to receiving the name. Free the Shrine of Honesty and return to him at midnight again.
Now go to Cove and listen to the twins about their vision. They will tell you that the shard is located underneath the dungeon Deceit. The, go to Moonglow and meet Malifora, the gypsy, by the entrance. She’ll give you the Word of Power for Deceit and the Mantra of Honesty.
Go to the Shrine of Honesty, intone the mantra (all answers must be lowercase!) and travel to the Isle of the Avatar. Once there, enter the Codex Temple and return to the Shrine for some meditation. Hurray, the Shrine Quest is complete!
Now, head to Dagger Isle and Dungeon Deceit (north of Verity Isle). At the entrance say the correct WoP. Now, head down the tunnel and you’ll wind up next to a brown bear. No need to kill it unless you’re hungry. You can either go forward (well, the door across the pit in the middle), left or right. Go right, head down the stairs, dispel the field, make your way through and you’ll reach an elevator. Take it down to a cavern area. Go down the tunnel till you reach a tunnel intersection. STOP SHORT, kill the reaper and STAY AWAY FROM THE MIDDLE. It’s a trap which will cause you to fall in a dark pit and die. Turn right, blow the rocks up with a powder keg. Clean up the big room with all the orcs and go left or right. The point is to either get to the room with the gazer or the room with the Ettins.
Once there, you’ll see a heap of rocks blocking the way into a room with daemons and undead. Blow the rocks up and make your way into the room. Now open the door (these doors can be a bit tricky, sometimes they spin back and shut themselves right after you open them) and head for the railing; there’s some more rooms up here and you can clean up the whole area if you feel like it. Head down to the drake pit and kill everything that moves. Now, there’s three of four caverns with dragons around. You can acess all of them by dispelling the fields that block the entrances. You only need to enter one though. Pick any cavern you want, enter it, kill the 2 dragons in it and go through the other opening. You are now in the outer ring – it connects the dragon caverns and it’s filled with gremlins. Walk around until you find a tunnel that separates itself from the ring – your gateway to the Underworld! Go down the tunnel and you’re there.
Now, if you were planning on following the twins’ directions, you’d have a world of pain ahead of you. I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible. Go right, and you’ll be strolling down a wide corridor. Keep looking at the wall on the left and you’ll find a crack in it. Go down that crack, and the narrow passageway will lead you into an open area with a lake. There’s a strip of land in this lake somewhere (don’t worry, it’s real easy to find – just look for a blue glow). That is where you’ll find the Shard of Falsehood. Goody!
Now get back to the Lycaeum and summon the Shadowlord at midnight by clicking on the Flame of Truth. Once the Shadowlord has appeared, click on the flame again and throw the shard in. Congratulations! You've just killed Faulinei!
Spoilers end here.
