Tips and Misc

Puzzle

Puzzle

• There are a couple ways to 100% die in this quest. Stay alert.

• Don't let the red gelatinous cube touch you, or you die. No saving throw allowed.

Talk to Leth. Open door, wait for Garko to lower spike barrier. Don't jump down or you die. Proceed north. Kill kobolds and oozes, mind the traps. Reach shrine, then drop down.

Run south. Way east is blocked by a barrier. Garko needs to hit three sigils to unlock the barrier:

• First: NW - Pipe jumping section, activate all runes until objective changes.
• Second: Move just under the quest entrance (now less poisonous). Kill the horned devil. Loot chest, pull lever (rune), shrine if needed. Return to water, dive to enter a pillar jumping section. Jump across and pull lever (rune).
  • Bug: Be careful with the timing of lowering the drawbridge. Make sure garko is not at the beginning of the drawbridge when you lower it, or he may become stuck.
• Third: Go across the drawbridge. Solve puzzle.

Continue, killing more ooze and kobolds. Then kill Garko along with some ooze and kobolds.

• Garko starts alone, but he will summon help.
• Garko cannot be kited out of the room, he will whitedot to his spawn location. Summoned trash can be kited and killed outside.
• Killing Garko completes the quest; all trash disappears at that point.
• The air jets on the raised platforms in the boss room cannot be disarmed.
