Tips and Misc

  • This quest is pretty simple, but can be a real challenge for characters with low Will saves and/or Charisma due to the prevalence of named Kopru with Ego Whip. Consider bringing a Cleric hireling with Restoration.
  • Killing the named Kopru in the open-air camp frees the dominated hunters, who will fight alongside you.
  • The named ooze Alluvium is opposite from the first gate.
  • There are four tablets:
    • One outside the dungeon.
    • One in the top left corner of the dungeon.
    • One at the waterfall, north of the first gate.
    • One in the open-air camp.
  • A Secret Door can be found near the last shrine.
    • Behind is a Dark Secret – one of the six wild ones hidden around the Isle of Dread. There is otherwise no reward, although finding this Dark Secret was key to discovering the secret ending of Skeletons in the Closet.
