Tips and Misc

Davyd's Apartment and upper Sharn

  • Investigate Davyd's apartment, discover the pieces of evidence incriminating Fathom.
  • Dispatch the groups of Fathom mercenaries between the party and a skycoach.
  • Defeat Sky Scavenger for XP or allow it to live for a chest.
    • The large circular tower; has some climbable ivy on the outer wall of the smaller central tower, and stone outcrop beams, you can jump upon, to reach the top of the tower where the Manticore awaits.
    • You can burst him down and kill him to bypass the decision making, so don't use nukes if you want the chest.
  • Defeat Gemma the Boulder and her group of mercenaries to save the skycoach operator.
  • Speak to the skycoach operator to get to the entrance to Davyd's safe-room.

Water Treatment Plant

  • Either browbeat the bored guard (Bluff DC  ♠36Elite / Intimidate, unlimited retries), or pay him off in order to enter the water treatment plant.
  • Speak to the Crayfish and agree to help him with his Otyugh problem.
  • Jump into the water to swim through the water treatment areas, check the walls for a color/symbol diagram to use on the wheel puzzles.
    • Wheel puzzle solution (3 turns, 5 turns, 1 turn) (Blue Wheel: Blue diamond, Green Wheel: White triangle, Orange Wheel: Amber diagonal cross "X")
  • After the 3rd wheel, you can jump back into the water and find an optional way to a Trapped Kelpie that is attempting to persuade adventurers to their deaths.
