Tips and Misc

Drop point with way to optional chest

Despite appearances this is a simple but long quest, with one exception the path from the entrance to the end being entirely linear.

• Useful spells: Resist Electricity, Fire, Water Breathing (Divine).
• Bring your Underwater Action equipment. You'll spend more than half of the time swimming inside long and flooded underground tunnels. Though Sogshadow Moss Patches can be found inside the water which will grant Water Breathing, each patch can only be used once per character.
  However You can obtain water breathing from many sources near this level. Potions of Water Breathing (ML:4) are available in House Jorasco and scrolls of the 3rd level spell Water Breathing can be obtained in House Phiarlan (UMD: 28). other options are the one time use item from Korthos, The Ring of Waterbreathing or the Boots of the Mire from Fathom the Depths (in The Red Fens). Another option is the Level 8 (or higher) Ring of the Buccaneer from the Treasure of Crystal Cove event
• The underwater tunnels have many short but misleading dead ends, so you will want to keep up with your group mates; a careless wrong turn can very much mean that you'll become lost and strayed from your group for the rest of the adventure.
• Once you reach the drop down point SE of the shrine, the path bifurcates: the southern path will lead you to the Invisible Stalker optional, while the northern path will lead you to the end boss eventually and finish the quest (see picture to the right).
• Underwater mushrooms have a good droprate for Fragrant Drowshood.
• The end fight is actually right next to the quest entrance, so Dimension Door will help greatly in case you are lost but your group is able to reach the boss.

• Quick guide (use it in combination with the Wiki map):
  • 1 - 6 (white) is the path from the entrance to the intersection
  • 7 is the intersection
    • 7 - 8 (red) is the optional path leading to the Invisible Stalker; backtrack to 7 afterwards
    • 7 - 18 (blue) is the main path leading to the end boss
