For optional Thassnoss the Mad, you must jump and catch a ladder over a swimming pit. For optional letter for Gillea, you must walk behind a mini waterfall and slay Rusty the Rust monster. Rusty is a tough hitter but can be easily killed with ranged weapons by luring him into the tunnel you came from and standing close to the wall behind the hole with the ladder (If Rusty gets too close to the hole he will go back outside).
 * misc=

The quest has several valves throughout that are eye-candy only. They will be valves up on pipes that are not actionable.

When you reach the room with the four open cisterns, one cistern leads to a shrine (To access the shrine, do not touch the valves! The water will give you the reach needed for the ladder). One leads to a dead end. One is back where you came from. Valves turn off water in three, but you must swim in the fourth.

Several points between sections are swim tunnels where once you get into the flow, water will force you into breathing zones, take a breath and swim the rest of the way. When you emerge from the first swim zone, you will ultimately climb ladders and walk on rooftops to get to the next sections of the quest.

When you come across a wind trap, walk along the pipes. If you are having trouble with the hellhounds right after this, lure them onto the roof with the wind trap, let it blow you across the way and shoot the hellhounds from safety.

Breaking your sneak to pull the lever will not waken the dogs.
