Known Traps
Tips and Misc
- The parts to the Ballistas are down the different paths and around the ruined keep. They are randomly placed on a fixed set of locations.
- If one of the Purple Knights falls, the shield around Zenyff will fall and all enemies will immediately aggro on him.
- You can heal the two purple knights, but they are such bags of HP that it might be more efficient to let them fall, and defend Zenyff.
- After a few moments, the Purple Knights will get up again, fully healed, and return to the fight.
- You can also heal Zenyff, but he is also a bag of HP.
- It seems that the Knights and Zenyff have reduced benefit from healing. The knights will get about 4 points for every 25 and Zenyff will get about 1 point for every 25.
- When the Spell Ward is completed, all enemies will start with high aggro on it. Any current enemies will immediately aggro on it.
- Titanic Wood woad is a high CR enemy. You will get a warning when you approach that it is a tough fight.
