The Gnashtooth and Tunnelworm kobolds were at war with one another...until now. Invading forces from Xoriat plan to destroy Stormreach and wreak havoc across Xen'drik. They gather their warriors inside the Waterworks, using human cultists to open dark portals to their world. You must enter the Waterworks to stop the invaders.

Tips and Misc
This is an exceedingly difficult quest for the unprepared. There are at least 10 beholders that must be slain, surrounded by portals that respawn Flensers, Hounds and the like. Death to at least one in your party is likely; someone that can raise the dead is almost a necessity. Chaos orbs move around near objectives (like the ones in The Xorian Cipher) which throw random spells if they come too close to you. Beholders abound, as noted, dispelling your buffs and casting Finger of Death and Disintegrate on you. The slippery ground caused from Ice Flensers' area cold effects make a bad situation worse.
Deathblock items, Negative Energy Absorption items (Beholder Optic Nerves, Silver Flame Nugget), Freedom of Movement, Greater Cold resistance items, and a caster with Restoration or Greater Restoration to restore negative levels are extremely helpful. Dismissal and Banishment are very useful in this quest as well since most of the mobs are outsiders.
See the article on Beholders for tactical options and additional options for protection.
The quest itself is in a variation of the Waterworks Wilderness adventure area between that Story Arc's two quest entrances (Clan Gnashtooth and Clan Tunnelworm). If you have run this story arc, it will be difficult to get lost and easy to find the objectives.
A single shrine is located in the same place as found in the Waterworks wilderness adventure area.
In this re-visit of the Waterworks, there are no hidden doors that can be found by searching or Detect Secret Doors.
To get the optional for 150 kills requires waiting out respawns before completion.
