Known Traps

Tips and Misc

The parts to the Ballistas are down the different paths and around the ruined keep. They are randomly placed on a fixed set of locations.
If one of the Purple Knights falls, the shield around Zenyff will fall and all enemies will immediately aggro on him.
You can heal the two purple knights, but they are such bags of HP that it might be more efficient to let them fall, and defend Zenyff.
- After a few moments, the Purple Knights will get up again, fully healed, and return to the fight.
You can also heal Zenyff, but he is also a bag of HP.
It seems that the Knights and Zenyff have reduced benefit from healing. The knights will get about 4 points for every 25 and Zenyff will get about 1 point for every 25.
When the Spell Ward is completed, all enemies will start with high aggro on it. Any current enemies will immediately aggro on it.
Titanic Wood woad is a high CR enemy. You will get a warning when you approach that it is a tough fight.
