'The Kopru have delegated the protection of the Dread Monolith of the Assassin's Blade to a tribe of local Bullywugs. Or perhaps the Bullywugs infested the place and the Kopru concluded that making the creatures guardians was easier than trying to get rid of them.

Tips and Misc

  • The title of this quest is not lying – there are a lot of Bullywugs, and there are an awful lot of traps, many not disarmable. Proceed with caution.
  • The many Arcane Sentinels in this quest deal heavy Force damage. Fortunately, they can be avoided by staying out of their cone of vision.
  • In the room with the fake monolith, a secret door on the west wall leads to a Dark Secret.
  • Rublup is behind a closed door in the middle of the first set of fire jets.
  • The Rune Wheels cannot be turned until you unlock them with a lever on the wooden platforms in the ceiling. The two runes are also on nearby platforms. Wheel colors and runes are random.
  • Once past the wheels, be careful of glowing sections of floor – they collapse.
  • Blubbip is behind a door after the second collapsing floor.
  • When fighting the end boss, try to eliminate the other Bullywugs before bringing the boss to half health – he awakens the nearby Golems at this point, and you don't want to be fighting both simultaneously.
  • On Legendary difficulties only, a Secret Door can be found on the west wall (suspected Search DC on Legendary Normal 71 or 72) after dropping from touching the fake monolith.
    • Behind this door is a Dark Secret – one of the six wild ones hidden around the Isle of Dread; finding this Dark Secret was key to discovering the secret ending of Skeletons in the Closet. There are also two collectables and a chest.
    • On heroic the existence of the hidden area also can be determined by targeting the collectable.
