Tips and Misc

You can recruit many NPCs (many of whom you will recognize from other quests) to help you fight.

• For completion (only), hit the room in the north of the first main cave (for cultists and a possibility at the missing codex page), then from there just push west then north, killing cultists etc. The other areas offer only optional XP, 1 chest, and NPC assistance.
  • There's a chance you won't find enough cultists in the western/northern areas. If not, search the main/southern area.

• South, in the southeast room, are two gnolls who will join you.

• Optional: "Steal the gem from the hall of ancient warriors", which triggers a fight with undead.
• Optional: Push further south to "find the secret shrine".

• The small central room contains only a fight with casters and a collectable.
• The central-eastern area contains:

• A shrine behind a locked door (53 failed, 57 succeeded on EE)

• Optional: Beyond that, to the north, a room with the Terrible Torturer and 4 keys that are useful later.

• Hera, the medusa prisoner, in the southern passage.

• Chatting with her gains her alliance, but does not free her.
• Optional: The iron key, from the Torturer's room (above), frees her to join you.

• In the south-eastern passage, the kobold crone, who will join you.
  • Optional: Behind a locked door, a (moderately tough!) gelatinous cube, and a chest.
• Yeshelka Frostrager, who will join you, in the eastern passage.
  • Optional: A locked room (51 failed, 57 succeeded on EE) with the "restless wight".

• The square room to the west contains a shrine and several piles of gold.

• Optional: "Steal the (obviously) cursed tableware", and a not-surprising fight.

• Go north.

• The eastern side loop there contains only some (sleeping!) cultists and a collectable.
• The far northeastern side loop is behind two secret doors (Search 35 failed on EE). If you do not/cannot enter via Search, they will open if you do the Shrine of Chaos optional (see below).
  • The codex page is randomly located throughout the cultist rooms, including the end room. It will not be found in the "cavern" area of the quest.

End fight

The boss is behind a secret door (Search 35 succeeded on EE) in the SW corner of the large room, past the gnoll/kobold/orc shrines. He will try to escape once sufficiently hurt. You can let him escape. If you recruited Medusa to help you, she will finish him for you.

• Optional: Go back to the Medusa to "Have words with her", and then fight her. You can see the boss, turned to stone, there.

• Optional: Assembling the Shrines of Evil Chaos

• Optional: After the battle and everything else, if you brought the gnoll, kobold, and orc Charm of Evil Chaos from previous quests, you can do this optional. Slot the crests into the shrines, then, you can ring a bell to the east. This summons a flesh render. Defeating him awards a chest, a "lockbox" to the west.
• Additionally, during the fight, the secret doors to the area behind the bell open and mobs from them pour into the area (if you did not clear them before). This also gives you access to that area to "Explore all the nooks and crannies of the cave network" and releases the undead in that area, if you had not before.

Bonus XP

• Aggression bonus: 63-64 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣47 ♦85 ♥92 ♠98 )
• Onslaught bonus: 64 < x < 89 or more monsters killed +15% Bonus.( ♣70 ♦127 ♥137 ♠147 )
• Observance bonus: 2 or more secret doors discovered +8% Bonus.( ♣37 ♦68 ♥73 ♠79 )
• Perception bonus: 3 or more secret doors discovered +10% Bonus.( ♣47 ♦85 ♥92 ♠98 )
• Vigilant Sight bonus: 4 or more secret doors discovered +15% Bonus.( ♣70 ♦127 ♥137 ♠147 )
• Mischief bonus: 22-23 or more breakables smashed +8% Bonus.( ♣37 ♦68 ♥73 ♠79 )
• Vandal bonus: 29 or more breakables smashed +10% Bonus.( ♣47 ♦85 ♥92 ♠98 )
• Ransack bonus: 36 or more breakables smashed +15% Bonus.( ♣70 ♦127 ♥137 ♠147 )

Notes: In order to achieve Vigilant Sight and Ransack, you may need to hold off on picking up the Codex Page until after killing the High Priest, in order to break the pews and search out the door in his quarters.
