Overview
Gunnar Bauerson told you of a Sahuagin plan to awaken an ancient Devourer beast, a creature of terror and myth. You must enter the Underground Complex where the beast is imprisoned and then activate the giantish device that will keep it trapped in a frozen slumber.
The Underground Complex is located at the bottom of a cliff on Korthos Island, just outside Korthos Village.
Spoiler Warning: Spoiler material below this point!
Objectives
- Find the Giantish device
- Slay all the sahuagin in the ice floor room
- Find a way to progress
- Redirect the mist spray towards the beast
What to Expect
- Collapsible floor
- Puzzle (mandatory: tile puzzle)
- Spawning/respawning monsters
Known Traps
- Poison trap on the left-hand branch of the tunnels
- Poison trap in the ice floor room is controlled by valve and cannot be disabled
- Ice traps where Kraak lurks, just before the end (two trap control panels)
Tips and Misc
- This adventure is easier than most of this level.
- This quest is the rework of the Survive the Low Road quest from the original harbor area.
- Before the path splits, the 2 levers behind secret doors can easily be ignored if you don't care about the ransack and perception/vigilant bonuses. Each lever opens the grate directly across the hall from it for +4 more breakables each.
- In the Ice Floor room, you need to use the alarm gong twice to break the ice.
- The valve just inside the valve-locked door in the Ice Floor room will actually START the poison trap outside when it's turned; you need to close the big wooden door to turn off the ice spray.
- The secret door to the shrine room (after the swim) has a Search DC of −5, so it is all but impossible to fail. Inside this room is a ladder to the top near the alarm gong, if anyone in your party wants to avoid the swim.
- If this door is not opened, then the two Sahuagin inside will open it and move to attack when someone reaches the top of the ramp.
