Tips and Misc
- You have 3 deployment choices: Spymaster, Archmage, and Captain
- The Captain's warship will bring you aboard the ship to the southwest; from there, you can either take the Spymaster's hidden pass, climb up the ladder to the docked pirate ship, or swim all the way around to the northern door.
- The Spymaster's passage will bring you to the beach south of the fortress; from there, you take a hidden path, guarded by Wildmen and wolves, through a waterfall and the forest.
- The Archmage's teleport deployment will scatter the party between several points, possibly resulting in death for anyone who can't survive solo. One of the points is underwater, by the northern door; one is on the pirate ship; and one is on top of the fortress, near the northeast ballista.
- You can talk to the Archmage on the ship to be teleported to one of his destinations.
- If you take the Spymaster's route, there is a lever you can shoot once you reach the fortress that will release an earth elemental against the pirates. Note that it will attack you as well, if it sees you.
- The Wildmen and wolves on the island respawn.
- The Ballistae count towards your kills bonus.
