Tips and Misc
Walkthrough
- Find the Torn Page in the room just to the north.
- Your goal is to collect four crests to open the door to Taugh Ignath's hideout.
- Each is guarded by one Underlane Gargoyle and some gnolls on sky sleds as well.
- You need a Soarsled to collect crests which needs flying. Soarsleds are available after talking to Triellin Ravenwing in front of the hideout.
- The Underlane is divided into four quarters. Each quarter contains a crest, though the exact location is random:
- North-East quarter: Sword (behind leftmost of three closed doors east of the water purification system)
- North-West quarter: Hammer (fountain just before the tunnel to central tower)
- South-East quarter: Kukri (may be in sewer pipe near door the crests open or in the central tower)
- South-West quarter: Sickle
- You pass through the Underlane in a 'S' shape.
- The water purification system connects the North-East and North-West section
- After finding the hideout, the Malfunctioning Worker Construct optional is located here.
- The North-West and the South-East sections are separated by a gate opened by two levers nearby.
- The door to the hideout is central south. Place the collected crests in the sockets to open the door.
- Open the doors to the left and right to rescue the Soul-Split Warforged.
- Kill the boss further south.
Optionals
- Read the notes dropped on the ground:
- Three are located before the water purification system.
- One in the South-East quarter.
- One in the final room after completing the quest.
- Warehouse Optional, entrance just after leaving the water purification system.
- Find the Iron Key a bit further in the quarter, or just pick the door.
- Use the mirrors to direct the laser beam through the warehouse. The laser bean opens the doors to the side rooms.
- The levers in the side rooms open the doors to move forward. If locked, solve the puzzles or just pick them.
- The red gem tile in the floor puzzle room activates a trap in more than one way: A set of flame jet traps activate as well as a repeating knockdown effect, which together can be quite deadly.
- Return to the water purification system to complete the "Defeat the Malfunctioning Worker Construct" optional.
- To complete the "Defeat the Wandering Forgewraith" optional move into the sewers near the hideout entrance.
- To get to the hidden Chest, you'll need to find and pull a lever in the South-West quarter (needs flying).
- It's slightly south of the west exit of the South-West quarter.
- The lever opens a gate high above the entrance to the Sewers. The chest and a collectable are inside.
The second half of this dungeon is actually the same locale as the previous dungeon, but in reverse.
