Known Traps

Tips and Misc
The quest starts near a big empty room where several Greater Ice Mephits appear. The floor then collapses, revealing hidden caverns adventurers have to explore, killing a Troll tribe and its leader along the way.
At higher difficulty settings Greater Ice Mephits might be challenging unless properly prepared. A 'Resist Energy: Cold' spell or potions giving the effect can be very useful. No need to have a long lasting resistance since there won't be any further Mephits in the quest. Once Mephits have been dispatched, use only the edges of the room to reach the treasure chest, as most of the floor collapses. It's no big deal if you fall (the party will have to jump in anyway), but you'll miss the chest and won't be able to come back.
Bug: sometimes the floor to the sides of the chest will appear solid. It's not. Follow the edges around to the back wall or you will fall through the floor and miss the chest.
Moldfang is not easy to dispatch either. As a troll boss, wounds regenerate, but if you get through him you'll have access to rest shrines. His cavern is partly flooded, be careful not to find yourself inadvertently swimming while fighting him.
The shrines in the troll room require a Strength check of 18 to bash down the door (or it can be unlocked via Open Lock).
