Tips and Misc

  • At the beginning of the dialog with prisoner Dedryk Black choose option 'Perhaps we can make a special deal.' Successfully using Bluff, Diplomacy or Intimidate (DCs:  ♦56Normal ♥62Hard ♠68Elite) gives an additional chest at the end.
    • You can try again on failure
  • Though the streets of Wheloon appear at first to be a bit of a maze, they're really rather linear.
  • At the end of the quest, you can read the Mysterious Note
    on the table during or after Teralyn's fight.
  • It appears this is yet another quest where killing the boss too quickly can prevent completion.
