What to Expect

Large spawns, instant dungeon alert. (Reduced in U25 Patch 1, now much rarer, unless using hirelings/summons.)

Known Traps

Trap DCs

Bear traps or Pressure Plates will randomly appear in clusters. Pressure plates inflict random elemental (Acid, Cold, Electrical, Fire, Sonic) damage in an AoE (around 370 on Epic Elite).
The traps are avoidable, and a huge amount of traps need to be disabled to gain the XP bonus.

Tips and Misc

A typical run can easily net several hundred kills, with a complete sweep of all the shrines and nodes closer to 1,000. Prepare accordingly.
The southeast corner of the entrance area contains many breakables, usually enough for Ransack bonus.
You can sometimes use ← Backspace from behind walls / closed doors to check for chests and mysterious altars in optional areas.
When in the various elemental nodes, use the obvious resists (including cold for Water) and their reverse for weapons/spells.
- Note that in the Fire node, Efreeti add Lightning Bolts to the mix.
- In the Water node, there are ample airpockets for breathing - water-breathing is not necessary (although Merfolk's Blessing may be handy to speed things up).
Important note for stealth players: Nodebound Fire Bats DO NOT have Tremor Sense on Heroic difficulties. This is unconfirmed for Epic. The elemental oozes, however, DO have Tremor Sense.

Walkthrough

Explore the side rooms until you find a Door Seal Key.
- (Located in the northeast corner of the eastern wing of the "Promenade" area. You must pass through either of two secret doors to reach it.)
Slot the crest to open the way north.
Kill two named priests.
- The DM will give you a very clear hint to explore a particular elemental shrine, east or west.
- The shrine entrances (and maps 2-5, above) are in the following order, from north to south: water, fire, air, earth.
- There is a chest (with ToEE ingredients) at the top of the dais, but don't relax - there are some oozes, and an even bigger fight can follow the death of the priests.
Go to the designated elemental shrine, enter the elemental node (see appropriate map, above) via the portal rune, and find the portal gem (5 possible random locations, see maps).
- Loot the chest - the portal to Zuggtmoy is a point of no return (without Dimension Door).
Optional - Go to the other nodes and find and collect the gems there.
- Note - Any gem you find will not match the elemental node you are currently on. However, the barrier to Zuggtmoy will be lowered on the current map once you find whatever gem is on your node.
Proceed into the portal to Zuggtmoy on that same elemental node, kill the elemental and minions.
Use the Portal and proceed west to Zuggtmoy's Chambers. Kill Zuggtmoy.

End fight

The end fight on heroic can be a challenge even for characters approaching epic levels.
Zuggtmoy and her summoned demons use a variety of elemental and poison attacks - fire, acid, lightning, cold and poison resists are all helpful.
After you approach Zuggtmoy, she has a short speech, allowing you to finish buffing. Shortly after she says "No matter...", it's game on.
The entire room is covered by a damage-over-time effect dealing acid damage and stacking up to ten times. Occasionally a Toxic Mushroom spawns which probably increases the damage, kill it. Occasionally a purple Cleansing Mushroom spawns, interact with it to remove the stacks.
Zuggtmoy spawns trash multiple times per fight (at 75/50/25% hp?). She usually has a shield up until trash dies. First wave is dretches, second adds some hezrous, third includes a red named Goristro.
She has an AoE special attack, high damage and stun. There will be waves on the ground just before this attack. You can avoid the attack by getting behind the blue Sheltering Mushrooms. Spell Absorption items absorb the damage, but not the stun.
- Bug: Standing outside of the area with the barrier does not protect you from this effect. Unsure if this is WAI, but it's very frustrating to a recovering party to be wiped before reentering the fight.1
Zuggtmoy's Earthquake spell can take you completely out of the equation. Bring high reflex save or knockdown immunity (e.g., from Unyielding Sentinel stance). Also note, arcane casters can dispel the effect by casting Gust of Wind onto the area.
Destruction is another of her favorite and devastating attacks.
After the fight, a barrier of vines to the west must be bashed down to proceed to complete the quest and collect the end chest.
