Tips and Misc

  • This is a standalone side-quest, not part of the main storyline. The questgiver is by the entrance.
  • Useful buffs:
    • Acid resist
    • Cold resist
  • This is one of the few quests in the game that features under water combat. How it works:
    • As of Update 50, Underwater combat has been adjusted for playability, and no longer adjusts what spells are able to be cast, penalize your movement or attack rates as severely, and instead makes fire spells deal 80% damage and electric spells deal 120% while underwater.
    • If you are a spellcaster specialized mainly in fire or acid spells, consider buying some lightning bolt (6th) wands from House P. They are extra effective in the water, especially if you're fully spec'd for wand mastery or have artificer wand bonuses.
  • Follow the Map. Find a sealed opening.
    • The green lever is to the south near the start; fairly easy to miss the opening.
    • The blue lever is in the northwest.
  • Approaching the chest at the end will complete the quest.
  • The optionals are all in the west, past the shrine near the warded grotto.
    • The cells can be opened using a Simon Says mechanic.
    • One of the prisoners requires that you have killed all enemies towards the exit and found (used) the Sogshadow Moss Patch.
    • The Sealed Treasure requires unlocking two levers; there's a silver key near the blue lever and a gold key found down eastern path, or you can pick them. The Knock spell works as well. Can drop ferrocrystal weapons and rarely minor artifacts.

Bonus XP

  • Aggression bonus: 15 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣106 ♦189 ♥202 ♠215 )
  • Onslaught bonus: 29 or more monsters killed +15% Bonus.( ♣159 ♦284 ♥303 ♠322 )
  • Conquest bonus: 43 or more monsters killed +25% Bonus.( ♣265 ♦473 ♥505 ♠537 )
