Tips and Misc

You can either:

Go as a group and clear the halls until you find the library and Basthuul,

...or...

Send 1 person fully buffed to run past everything and slay only Basthuul at the end. This is faster and will result in very slightly more XP, but requires a character strong enough to do it.
- Basthuul is found in the central eastern room (with the shrine on the eastern wall).
- Shortest route is to take the first two "lefts", then follow the winding path to the large eastern shrine room. Note that the easternmost "blocked access" symbol on the map (above right), leading to that room, is incorrect.
