Tips and Misc
- A lot of fire damage. Resist fire damage spells/items are a must.
- Several enemies will use poison.
- Several enemies (anticipate to meet two beholders throughout the caves) can cast destruction or other death spells. Deathblock items may help.
- There is a very long dive in the quest, an underwater breathing item will be helpful.
- Lair of Fire and Ice:
- Some regard this part even harder than the final encounter. The Ice Flenser and the Fire Reaver at the ends of the two tunnels need to be slain simultaneously (within 30 seconds of each other).
- Common strategy is everyone staying inside the main chamber, while someone goes luring down the Ice Flenser. Once the Flenser approaches, mages will drop firewalls and everyone hurries down the other tunnel to kill the Fire Reaver.
- On the final boss:
- Having a cleric who can cast Freedom of movement is favorable.
- Remove Featherfalling gear before the final encounter. This will have you fall down faster if you get blown away by Sor'jek, and improve your chance of landing back onto the platform instead of missing it, and drifting away on the wind to some strange corners of the map.
- Much like the final boss in Stormcleave Outpost, Sor'jek is very difficult to fight or kill without solving the puzzle and using the runes you should have collected along the way.
- (At least in Elite) Sor'jek Incanni will eventually perform a full health refill. Cut him down as quick as possible if you see he has regained his weather control ability.
- Map notes:
- The main entrance is on the south side of the mountain, the back entrance is on the east side of the mountain.
- Refer to videos on Youtube (spoilers) for useful guides on navigating throughout this quest.
