Known Traps
Tips and Misc
- Useful buffs:
- Resist acid, electricity, fire, sonic, Deathblock is very handy as young beholders like to hit you with Finger of Death first even on casual
- Go upstairs, talk to Quixxellops the beholder in front of the bar and enter the drinking game with the beholders. Drink the Xorian Cider on the right side of the bar as fast as you can. If you win the contest, Mickey the bartender will give you the key. If you lose the contest, you have to fight the beholders. Grab the key.
- Healer hirelings may attempt to heal the beholders, as they are NPC's. If you think you might lose the contest, you should set them to passive.
- Hirelings may also help you drink – order them to interact with the Xorian Cider
- NB: During one run, the party was sneaking, Quixxellops died on its own due to too much drinking without any fighting, the Boozers were untargetable and didn't attack even after the party broke sneaking, but Mickey was still frozen with fear and wouldn't give the key, and so the party was stuck. It's likely the party must kill or at least engage Quixxellops.
- Open the door to the guest room near the beholders.
- Clear out the three unlocked rooms to the left and rescue the guests. Whoever you save last out of Scratchy Cranshaw or Aldren the Traveller will leave a key to the library on the bed.
- Bug: If you talk to Scratchy Cranshaw too quickly after he revives, he may not drop key. To avoid this, wait for his name to reappear above his head before talking to him.
- Unlock the library. After clearing the room, go to the Rusty Kitchen Key in the corner. It flies away when you get near it but it can be ranged by spells or weapons, or killed if it is surrounded or cornered.
- Before you kill the key, head out of the library and into the guest room with the mirror. Pass through the mirror and grab the blue chest key; this can only be done in madness mode. If you drop the key due to death, you can only pick it up in madness mode again.
- Once you kill the key, it turns into Bahhurat (a flesh render – evil outsider). When Bahhurat is dead, the key returns to its original place. Grab it and loot the chest.
- Be prepared for a fight on the way downstairs with more renders and young beholders.
- Near the shrine and beneath the bar is a secret door; the chest behind is unlocked with the blue key.
- Open the kitchen door and clear the room. Talk to the cook to let him go. Kill the food and grab the key from the bar.
- Open the basement door to be greeted by a couple of young beholders and a lot of flesh renders. Kill them to progress. Open the secret door and pull the lever to get access to the chest under the stairs. Solve the puzzle to open the door.
- The shrine on the ground floor becomes unusable once you head down the stairs and approach the puzzle at the second shrine and go into madness mode, so use it before then if you want it.
- Move towards the second shrine and the closed door. Once you are in madness mode, climb on top of the boxes and drop inside to gain access to the chest under the crates. The green portal behind the chest leads back out to the basement/puzzle area.
- Solve the puzzle while killing the puzzle tiles as they come to life.
- Minor bug: It's possible that a flying tile will follow a character to the area with the chest under the crates. If a tile goes "missing", look for it there.
- Kill Knizzlenak, the elder beholder, to end the quest. He has an anti-magic cone like most beholders, but he will not use it while he's busy solving the puzzle. One strategy to make this fight easier is to cover the puzzle in firewalls or other similar AoE damage over time spells to kill all puzzle pieces instantly; this will cause Knizzlenak to stop fighting. Xorian Renders will continually spawn while Knizzlenak is still alive.
- Prevent Knizzlenak from solving the puzzle to keep him confused and unable to attack.
