You need some form of ranged weaponry with you if soloing, otherwise you will not be able to complete it at the end. There is two halves of a bridge lowered by using two different levers.

Tips and Misc
Walkthrough:
- Bring Deathblock gear and/or someone to cast Death Ward. Strong ranged spells such as Phantasmal Killer are recommended for slaying the two beholders here. The restoration spell can be handy to remvoe any negative levels they may give you.
- Head back down to where you picked up the black moon scroll, you do not need to stop for the cave beholder this time. Head through the gate.
Addendum to the above: The gate is stilled locked, you need either the key or a Rogue to pick the lock
- Shrine up and then clear out the halls, beware the beholder behind the last door. When you pull the lever at the end of the hall it will spawn several mephits, be prepared with fire resistance.
- There is a chest to right in the next hallway - STR lever required to get this. Then another chest is located behind a secret door next to where the Iron golem charges you.
- Be careful when entering the next room, there will be fire reavers above you on the catwalks as well as black puddings around to damage your equipment. Take them out, then hit the nearby levers to open the passage underwater to continue.
- Work your way up top and clear out the catwalks, pulling the levers on both sides will open the next door. Be sure to move in together because the door will shut behind you. At the end of the trapped hall is a mean Elder Beholder. Take him out and retrieve the key. This key unlocks the door back by the Iron Golem. Head through and work your way over the bridge to speak to the man with a striking resemblance to Coyle. The quest will automatically advance when you head into the next part.
