Tips and Misc
Whoever said treasure doesn't grow on trees has obviously never been to the Treasure Grove. That said, most of the chests are mimics, which can be detected using Spot, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Disable Device, or Use Magic Device. Or you can just take them down and try to open them...
First, find the real chest.
- The one real chest can spawn in one of four locations, all in the southeast corner.
- To get to this area, head due south and loop around the shrines in the far southwest corner before heading to the southeast.
- Take the hollow log bridge east of the entrance, then head south-ish to the first chest on the map (don't drop down into the valley), and head west to the next chests. See the map for the possible locations.
- Get your party close before opening the chest.
Second, grab and open the egg.
- Kill or Crowd Control spawned mobs quickly to prevent them from waking up other mobs on the map.
- Immediately after opening the chest, a Surprise Unicorn will pop out.
- Killing the unicorn will spawn a deer (Dashing Darling).
- After killing the deer, a Blink Dog (Good Boy).
- After killing the blink dog, a raven (Ravenous Reveler) spawns. Careful where you kill this one – it can fly over obstacles you can't reach, and you don't want the egg to get stuck there.
- After killing the raven, the Magic Egg will finally spawn.
- Once the egg is used, the Greedy Dragon will spawn and fly to the Mysterious Archway. You do not need to interact with the dragon once it starts moving.
- The dragon will show up on parts of the map that have been cleared, but not in fog-of-war areas.
Third, enter the Mysterious Archway and play with the dragon.
NOTE: The Mysterious Archway is a rock archway, South of the stone bridge. It is not the archway with the disappearing invisible bridge.
- Once the pseudodragon enters the archway, it will activate and allow you to enter it as well.
- The dragon is on the raised platform in the middle of the cave. Talk to him and play a game of skill.
- Play a game with him. The screen will go black and he will vanish.
- Find the dragon:
- Listen for the sound of breathing for an audio clue to how close the pseudodragon is.
- You are looking for a small, maroon dragon curled up on the ground. It will have green particles floating off of it to indicate position.
- Left-click the dragon to start the tag portion, and then run from him. But don't attack him; he just wants to be friends!
- Avoid the dragon (You can avoid the dragon manually for about 30 seconds, or you can cheat like the big jerk you are.):
- A quick way to play with the dragon: find him, then cast invisibility and hide. He gives up in a few seconds and you win!
- Avoid the dragon for about 30 seconds, and he then gives you permission to get the needle.
- You can jump on top of the bed that is near the end chest and he will usually just send a single fireball at you and then fly beneath you until time runs out
- Don't jump into the bones surrounding the ramp, otherwise you might die due to physics jank
Now grab the needle by opening the end chest on the back of the raised platform the pseudodragon was on when you first entered the chamber.
Optional notes:
- To cross the invisible bridge across the river, you need to start at the northern shrine. Make sure that everyone has stepped through the archway before you Search, and the platforms only exist for a few seconds before disappearing – apparently forever.
- The bridge is approx. 5 platforms wide and a random path is created. You may find a dead end and a good jump skill can (but also may not) save the situation.
- There's a Bewildered Bearserk across the river, to the north, which guards a chest but doesn't appear to be a requirement or an optional.
- The deer have a lot more hit points than usual. They also count towards the kills bonus but aren't actually aggressive even if you start attacking.
- Mimic hunt notes:
- You get two chances to reveal a mimic; after failing twice, your only choice is to open it and find out the hard way.
- Summoned creatures, such as Summon Monster 1 from a scroll, will attack a mimic chest.
- If you examine the chest once it's on the ground, the mimics will be type aberration.
Bonus XP
- Aggression bonus: 106 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣228 ♦406 ♥432 ♠459 )
- Onslaught bonus: 125 or more monsters killed +15% Bonus.( ♣342 ♦609 ♥649 ♠688 )
- Conquest bonus: 157 or more monsters killed +25% Bonus.( ♣569 ♦1,015 ♥1,081 ♠1,147 )
Loot
- Chests: Five
- One for defeating the Bewildering Berserk
- One that isn't a mimic
- Two across the Invisible Bridge (Both contain chunks of Ferrocrystal but not sure about named)
- One end chest; may contain named loot
- Collectables: Six, all in the dragon's lair
- Adventurer's Pack
- Alchemy Table
- Bookshelf
- Crude Altar
- Fungus
- Reagents Cabinet
- NPC rewards: Standard; choose from 10
