Flag Room

The warlord's inner sanctum where Tagg always stayed, which is why nobody ever laid hands on him.

Story so far

When Carl asks Juice Box whether she ever actually touched Epitome Tagg before the dungeon started, she answers no — they just blew him up a lot, because he was always in the Flag Room and she could never get to him.

That answer is the last piece Carl needed. Never having been physically touched, Tagg could conceal that he was a cyborg, and Carl says it out loud: sometimes the most obvious answer is the real one.

Appearance

The protected inner chamber of a faction's castle, where the warlord remains beyond reach.

Role

The sanctum whose protection let Tagg keep his cyborg nature secret.
