Known Traps

Spot and Search DCs for Traps and Secret Door
Disable Device DCs

Skill DCs and pictures of all traps, control panel locations, and secret doors can be found in the above links by hovering over the description text.
Fire Trap: Just after entrance. Control panel is on the right wall
Fire Trap: At base of first long drop. Control panel is on the interior wall
Spike Trap: In front of rune-locked door after first long drop (where Venom spawns). Control panel is beside the trap, to the right of the door.
Spike Trap: Room full of spike traps. Control panel is on the North wall, on top of a crate. Only some of the spikes will be disabled.
Poison Trap: Room full of poison traps. Control panels on all four walls, top level. There is one sprayer on the top level of the west wall that stays active even if you get all 4 trap control panels disarmed.
- NOTE! You need to follow a specific path so you get to each panel BEFORE you hit the traps for that panel. With the changes in U18, there's no protection from poison on Elite level difficulty. If you get sprayed, even with protection, you're going to die. Neutralize Poison offers you no protection against these traps.
- To disable the traps safely:
  - First disable the trap control panel on the right as you enter the room.
  - Then go back to the door and jump across to the next platform directly to the North.
  - Disable the trap control panel there and continue clockwise around the room to get the panel on the North wall. The upper poison trap on the North wall cannot be disabled.
  - After disabling that panel, jump down to the floor of the room and head back South until you have passed the platform where the second panel was and you are directly in line with the crates on the East wall.
  - Walk straight forward to the right of the poison jet coming from next to the crates and climb the crates. Search for then disable the trap control panel there.
  - Cross to the platform North of you and activate the level to open the door to exit the room.
  - The Redfang the Unruled Poison Trap Room Path image shows the path to take.
Fire Trap: Top of ramp leading to Redfang. Trap control panel on Left wall.
Fire Trap: Bottom of ramp leading to Redfang. Trap control panel on Right wall.

Tips and Misc

Throughout this quest, you'll be fighting mostly spiders, along with a few scorpions, so vermin bane items and anti-poison spells/items can be very useful. Feather fall may also be useful, as there are several long drops (you can use ladders or ramps to get down; however, if you fall...)
There are also a large number of traps that you'll encounter along the way, so a good rogue is a near must-have for this quest.
There are white spider egg sacks in the first several rooms you come into. If you get too close to them, a baby glass spider will hatch, and possibly poison you. Best method to get rid of them is to use "T" button to go into manual targeting mode and then use ranged attacks to destroy them. Destroying either the egg or the spider will yield no additions to the kills or breakables count.
You can go back to the shrine on the second level if you have feather fall and turn around immediately after the end of the ladders going up (helps if you are already facing out while climbing the ladder).
Be careful not to let the black widow in the long hallway on the third level draw you into the second fire trap.
Goliath may appear on the second level, in the southern section of the room.
Venom may appear on the second level, in the northern section of the room. Her venom sac will garner a potion of Cat's Grace from Tallbarrow when you exit.
Bile may appear on the third level, just before the long hallway. His stinger will garner a potion of Fox's Cunning from Tallbarrow when you exit.
Tarnish may appear in the central portion of the long hallway.
Vyragon always appears behind a secret door across from Redfang's chamber.
This quest ends when someone picks up Redfang's silk glands, not when Redfang dies. If you leave the glands on the floor until you've broken all the barrels in Redfang's room, you may be able to raise your breakable bonus.
The insidious cunning bonus is unobtainable due to the required kill of Redfang.
