Objectives

• Reclaim the Nether Scroll Piece hidden inside the Castle
• Defeat Netherese Overseer Shadeskein
• Defeat the Shadow-Corrupted Water Elemental
• Access the Throne Room
• (Optional) Learn what you can from the other adventurers (+10% Bonus)
• (Optional) Find the missing Adventuring Party (+2% Bonus)
• (Optional) Disable Netherese Staves safely (+5% Bonus)
• (Optional) Defeat the Umbral Gargoyle Lord (+16% Bonus)

What to Expect

• Traps (fixed)
• Spawning/respawning monsters

Known Traps

Trap DCs: Heroic and Epic

• Spell Ward

Tips and Misc

• The "Learn what you can from the other adventurers" Optional involves talking to '14 Adventurers' in total. Three of the Adventurers: Tanya Brock <Paladin>, Slade Destinaxe <Paladin> and Lyrica Whitestone <Bard> have extended dialogues. Therefore make sure you click through the optional text until it registers: Talked to Adventurer.
• The only way to get the kill bonus' is to let Gaston keep calling Umbral Rats. This is also a good way to build up your Monster Manual kills for Shadows.
• Tamper bonus comes from disabling the Spell Wards
• The optional Disable Netherese Staves usually requires more than 1 PC. Each stave has different options, for different classes.
  • One requires strength check (DC  ♦28-29Normal ♥20-29Hard ♠28Elite ●♦31-34Epic Normal ●♥31-35Epic Hard ●♠31-35Epic Elite)
  • One requires 50 SP from a divine caster
  • One requires 50 SP from an arcane caster
  • One can be disabled with the bear trap received from the disabled adventurer if you have the Trapmaking feat.
    • A multiclassed character can meet the requirement to get all three staves, as can Bards (who get all Lore feats during the class leveling process)
• At the end fight, the Umbral Rats will keep spawning as long as Gaston Wyrst is alive. Under Heroic Elite spawn rate is about 25 a minute, Epic Hard's spawn rate is 10 a minute. This makes getting conquest pretty trivial and with sufficient time, the Shadow Monster Manual entry can be completed.
