Tips and Misc

• Lightning-split Soarwood can be found in the library.
• Fire resistance/protection is EXTREMELY helpful in this quest; not only are there several fire mephits, but the Warriors of the Six like to use Scorching Ray.
• The southeast section leading to the front entrance (start of the previous quest) is blocked off.
• Solving the second puzzle will release several fire mephits; this fight can be avoided by saving the tile nearest the door for last, and jumping back out. The doors will close, locking in the mephits. Alternatively, somebody sneaky could just wait about a minute for the door to open, if they haven't roused the mephits yet.
• Beware returning to the shrine; the mephits in the northwest corner respawn.
• The locked doors can be broken with STR 18
• Helga Nightwalker may (will?) appear in the locked room with the wights. You may have to kill the wights, allow them to respawn, and kill them again to get her to spawn.
• There's a lever behind the sarcophagus behind the second locked door (to the south), which is easy to miss.
• The route to the exit is has several fire mephits; if the party is hurting, it's possible for just one person (preferably with fire protection!) to simply race past and exit, while everyone else hangs back and then recalls.
• The Conquest bonus on Normal requires killing the respawned mephits and wights (in the first locked room).
• Sear may appear by the second (south) puzzle
