Tips and Misc
The main portion of the quest ends once you've slain the Portal Keeper - Caraduhn. The dragons and giant champions are optional and purple-named; they are much tougher than the main part of the quest; you might find yourself unprepared if you attempt to challenge the dragons on Hard/Elite.
In order to defeat the dragon and the giant, you must kill both of them at the same time
As of U17, the gatehouse levers do not need to be pulled simultaneously.
Useful buffs:
- Death Ward or Restoration
- Resist Energy: Acid, Fire, Lightning
- Resist Fear
- freedom of movement helpful for fighting white dragon
