Tips and Misc
- Useful elemental buffs
- Acid
- Fire
- Lightning
- Sonic
- Go upstairs, talk to Quixxellops the beholder in front of the bar and enter the drinking game with the beholders. Drink the Xorian Cider on the right side of the bar as fast as you can. If you win the contest, Mickey the bartender will give you the key. If you lose the contest, you have to fight the beholders. Grab the key.
- Open the door to the guest room near the beholders. The first door on your right has a room behind the mirror; there is a key in it that opens a chest on the ground floor in the secret room. Wait until later in the quest to get the key from the mirror, as it can only be entered in madness mode.
- Clear out the three unlocked rooms and rescue the guests. After saving Scratchy Cranshaw, talk to him and he will leave a key to the library on the bed.
- Unlock the library. After clearing the room, go to the Rusty Kitchen Key in the corner. It flies away when you get near it but it can be ranged by spells or weapons, or killed if it is surrounded or cornered. Once you kill the key, it turns into Bahhurat (a flesh render - evil outsider). When Bahhurat is dead, the key returns to its original place. Grab it and loot the chest.
- Be prepared for a fight on the way downstairs with more renders and young beholders.
- The door to the servants area can be opened by gaining the aggro of the renders and standing in front of the door. They will bash it down. However, it seems to only be an empty room.
- Open the kitchen door and clear the room. Talk to the cook to let him go. Grab the key from the bar.
- (Optional) The Meat Locker can be picked or knocked. Kill Ruul for a chest.
- Open the basement door to be greeted by a couple of young beholders and a lot of flesh renders. Kill them to progress.
- The shrine on the ground floor becomes unusable once you approach the puzzle at the second shrine and go into madness mode, so use it before then it you want it.
- Move towards the second shrine. Before solving the puzzle and while in madness mode, go upstairs and back to the mirror near the bar. Go through the mirror and grab the key. Go back to the first shrine and open the secret door nearby - the key unlocks the chest. Go back to the basement, climb on top of the boxes and drop inside to gain access to the chest under the stairs.
- Kill Knizzlenak, the elder beholder, to end the quest. He doesn't have an anti-magic field. Xorian Renders will continually spawn while Knizzlenak is still alive.
- Conquest is 110 mobs. One strategy to ensure getting this bonus is to farm floor tile puzzles before the boss instead of solving the puzzle quickly.
- Map notes:
- 1 - Guest rooms key
- 2 - Library key
- 3 - Kitchen key
- 4 - Basement key
- 5 - Chest key (for the chest behind the secret door)
- To go through the portals you have to be in madness mode.
Loot
- Chests: 6
- One in the secret room near the first shrine
- One upstairs in the library
- One under the basement stairs
- One in the Meat Locker after killing Ruul
- One in the stack of boxes in room before Knizzlenak (only accessible while in madness mode, climb on top to see hole to drop into)
- One end chest after killing Knizzlenak
