Known Traps

Fire

Tips and Misc

• Useful elemental buffs:
  • Acid
  • Fire
• Follow the path as in the previous quest, clearing as you go. Find the secret door, kill the flesh render, and pull the lever. Go back up the corridor and into the door that has now opened. Loot the chest. Talk to Derward and take him back to the dungeon entrance, which also serves as the exit. Mobs will have respawned along the way, so keep him buffed and try and get the person who talked to him to hang back behind the fighting. If he dies, you fail.
• If you have trouble keeping Derward alive, make sure no one talks to him once you get to his room. Empty the chest, hit the breakables, then clear back to the entrance without him.

Loot

• Chests: 1 near the engineer

• NPC rewards: None

Monsters

Black Widow, Glass Spider, Darkfang Spider, Earth Elemental, Black Pudding, Fire mephit, Gargoyle, Flesh Render
