Tips and Misc

• No shrines in this quest.
• The Key to Achka's Cell is held by an Ogre leader behind a door near the entrance (to the west and down the ladder).
• Earth elementals will spawn after opening Achka's cell; it's not necessary to kill them before speaking to Achka and completing the quest.
• The eastern area of the map is blocked off; this prevents any bonuses from killing or breaking (the traps bonus may still be possible, however).
• Powder may appear on the bridge to the jail area.
• Flamefang may appear in a cell near Achka; otherwise, several hell hounds will appear.

Loot
