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.

Tips and Misc

Stopping the Sahuagin puzzle
  • 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.
