Known Traps
- Scything blade at the first bend
- Spike blades a bit further
- Spike blades behind the second secret door
- Concealed pit behind the second secret door, bottom filled with acid
- Wall scythes on the way to the south tower
- Spinning blade traps in front of both levers to open the room containing the phylactery
Tips and Misc
- Droic Orgul's phylactery is concealed somewhere within this abandoned guildhouse, and you need to find if you've any hope of defeating the Thayan leader.
- This quest is split into two halves – first, explore the southern half of the map to find two levers to open a gate, then find two levers in the flooded northern half and face off with Saren'kek the Naga. In the Southern half, head down the corridor and descend a pit shaft to fight the Water Weird Gemguard, then pull two levers in a flooded area.
- Both of the quest's optionals can be obtained in this half of the map, although one can't be completed until you get the first gate open:
- Opening the sealed vault requires you to pull two levers – one is guarded by Wraiths behind a secret door near the gate to the north half of the quest, and the other is in a lecture room just past the same gate. Inside the vault, you'll have to face undead warden Hurgoth Malachite to claim the loot within.
- A second, rather tougher, secret door just down the corridor from the one with the lever leads, via a route filled with traps and an acid-filled concealed pit, to a tile puzzle to open the sealed chamber. (Be sure not to light the tile without a lever above it – this will trigger a very nasty electric trap.)
- Now head through the North gate through a long monster-infested corridor and drop down into another flooded area. This time the two levers are in small rooms North and South of the gate – each room contains several spinning blade traps, one lever and one pile of gold.
- Finally, head east through the gate to face off with Saren'kek, then take Orgul's phylactery from the chest on the nearby throne to finish the quest.
