Tips and Misc
- Hyrsam's meeting can be overheard through the first southern door in the east wing. To hear all of it, all you have to do is stand around for a few minutes. Only one party member (who can even be a parked hireling) needs to stick around.
- The Sky Oak Sap will appear in the aqua-colored bowl at the end of the tile puzzle.
- The first red tile in the Sky Oak will spawn Feywild Vine Blights; the second will create acid traps every few seconds when lit; it's simple enough to avoid those tiles, or to turn them off after collecting the Sap.
- The Giant's Gloves are found by jumping down a well and taking a short swim; Underwater Action items should not be needed.
- Dimension Door would save time for the return, but is not needed.
- Optional chest: A locked chest is hidden behind a secret door in the north wall of the main room, east wing (the room northeast of the shrine near there). Explosive pressure plates (fire) on the floor guard the chest.
- The Gingerbread Golem will drop Cakes after every line of his poem; approaching them will set off a Sticky trap (no save). After several of these, he turns and fights. Killing him automatically gives you the Owlbear Butter.
- Return to the Bear Guardian. Follow him to the next room, wait for him to stop and speak to you, and then speak to him again.
- Talking to the bear whilst he is opening the door to lead you into the palace will close the door, blocking completion of the quest (encountered May 2021)
- End chest is in the far corner of the room from where Baron Bitterspine appeared.
