Known Traps

Trap DCs

Blade trap just in front of water going around the western passage

Blade trap protecting the collectible in eastern passage after north door

Tips and Misc

This is the last quest of 4 related quests. While each quest must be obtained, and rewarded, individually, the quest givers are all clustered at the same table in the Hammersmith's Inn. Each quest may be entered separately from House Deneith, or done in sequence. The order of the 4 quests is:
- The Depths of Despair
- The Depths of Darkness
- The Depths of Discord
- The Depths of Doom
At the first central door is a barrel with a red "X". Smashing that barrel releases a Large Fire Elemental.
Any of the named Optionals may appear in the same junction; just past that door; down the western passage beyond (towards the shrine); or just behind the rune-locked door.
