Objectives

• Locate and destroy the Shade of Madness
• Locate and destroy the Shade of Despair
• Locate and destroy the Shade of Hatred
• Locate and destroy the Shade of Agony
• Kill the Soulless one

What to Expect

• Traps (fixed)
• Spawning/respawning monsters
• Runes (optional: require INT and WIS checks)

Known Traps

Trap DCs

• The levers in the four corner rooms are each protected by a poison trap; the control boxes are to the left of the lever (as faced from the center of the room).
• The chest in the secret alcove is protected by a blade trap and also a spinner trap

Tips and Misc

• When you pull the levers in the corner rooms, three things will happen: the door behind you will close, the poison trap in the center of the room will activate, and one of the Shades will appear. If you stand around the edges of the room and pull the lever from the back, you can easily avoid the poison, which continues to burst until the shade is defeated. Slaying the shade will also open both doors, and not just the one you opened to enter.
• The runes to get to the chest are intelligence (over 16 INT required) and wisdom (17 WIS required); you need to use both of them to open the door.
• The chest in the central room is warded; you need to kill the three guards (but not the Soulless One) to get to it.
• This quest is actually difficult to solo, despite being listed as average difficulty. The shades are difficult to hit, and their phases of fading and reappearing just make it harder.
