Tips and Misc
- While this is an escort quest with an NPC (Kylea) that can get damaged, Kylea can't actually die, as she brings up a shield that makes her invulnerable when she takes too much damage. So focus on the monsters and don't worry about Kylea.
- Kylea only follows the last player who speaks to her, she doesn't "lead" anywhere.
- You don't need to order her to activate the crystals; get her near one, and after about a 10 second animation, she will do it automatically. If she is not cowering in her forcefield, she will ignore any active defenders and get to her business almost immediately.
- You can order her to "Teleport back to the Entrance Hall...", but unless you want to prevent her from automatically activating crystals, there is no reason.
- To have it a bit easier for the optional to prevent crystal from being destroyed, try to do both crystals in the north room (with the water) last, as this is the place where the final encounter will break through.
- This means, however, that you must face all of the Warforged intended to be sent to destroy the power crystals and the final boss at the same time.
- While the final fight does generate warforged to destroy the crystals, respawning enemies will also roam the halls and can destroy them as well.
- There is a secret passage from the "central" room (with the traps) to the upper level of the northern water rooms, behind that shrine.
- The south-west shrine is well guarded – expect a fight.
- If Scrapheap (and its chest) spawns, it is in the north-west shrine room. Despite the map, this room cannot be accessed via the north-west hallway, and can only be reached from the upper level of the central, trapped room.
