Overview

Objectives

• Acquire the five pieces of the Idol of Halokh
  • Legs of the Idol of Halokh
  • Tail of the Idol of Halokh
  • Right Claw of the Idol of Halokh
  • Left Claw of the Idol of Halokh
  • Head of the Idol of Halokh
• Reconstruct the Idol of Halokh on the pedestal
• (Optional) Slay Boss Kharja (10% of base XP)

What to Expect

• Traps (fixed)
• Overlapping floors
• Quest item collection (mandatory: 5 idol pieces)
• Puzzles (mandatory: puzzle wheels and tile puzzle)

Known Traps

Trap DCs

• Fire trap on chest in the northern lobe; control box is on a pillar just before the chest, on the north wall (across from the mushroom)
• Fire traps down the northern corridor and NE lobe; a valve beyond them shuts them off

Tips and Misc

• The barkeep in the Salty Wench tavern and in other taverns associated with House Deneith will lower their prices upon completion of this quest.
• When you find the tile puzzle, make sure to light up the "finishing" puzzle piece to lower the drawbridge and also run power over the lip of the tunnel and into the power source that is several feet down.
• The Left Claw is NE of the entrance, past the puzzle wheels.
  • The solution to the 4 puzzle wheels are only about 50 feet away from the puzzle, down either of the side tunnels.
• Boss Kharja is down the corridor east of the puzzle wheels, and then north at the T-junction.
• The Head is in the SE lobe, behind the valve-locked gates.
• The Right Claw is in the NE lobe, past the fire traps.
  • The nearby valve shuts off the fire traps and opens the doors to the south; only one character has to go through the traps to turn the valve
• The Tail is in a room below the drawbridge, through a door opened by sending the rune power downwards below the drawbridge.
• The Legs are down the southwest lobe. When you approach them, magical barriers will appear on either side of the tunnel and the four Large Earth Elementals nearby will spring to life; defeating them will drop the barriers. Make sure to keep the party together!

Walkthrough:

1. Head south from start, take your first left west then keep going west, kill earth elementals and get Legs.
2. Take first left then first right (both north) to bridge, solve puzzle. (Don't forget final piece to unlock gate.) Drop all the way down to first floor and get Tail. (Off the left side of bridge is a shorter fall to second floor, then ladder down to first floor.)
3. Climb back up ladder and head west. At 4-way intersection grab collectable from north and chest from west, then head south. Take first left back to and across bridge, loot (trapped) chest from eastern alcove then head south. Take first left east through fire traps, turn valve and get Right Claw.
4. Go back through deactivated fire traps, then south and solve puzzle wheels. (blue 1 turn, all others 4) Get Left Claw.
5. Head east, kill Boss Kharja and get Iron Key from lockbox in northern alcove. Go south, use iron key to open locked gate, get Head. (Ignore the valve in hallway.)
6. Backtrack north then west to puzzle wheels, go south from wheels, drop down to start. Place pieces on altar to finish.
