Overview

1 – ENTRANCE

Although you may have already had some suspicions about Rik the shopkeeper, the strange old man reveals himself when you first step foot in the Shadow Keep. Rik’s outer shell will melt away, revealing Kaedin, who will gloat over the fact that you have made him so much more powerful now that you’ve opened all the planes of existence. He’ll then teleport away and send a troop of gargoyles to descend upon you.

2 – TREASURE TO BE HAD

There isn’t a whole lot of significance to this area, other than the sizeable amount of treasure you can loot from the six antechambers that run along the left and right walls.

3 – LEVER

You won’t be able to reach this lever until you’ve thrown the switch at area #8. Once you’ve spawned the bridge across the void, though, hit the switch to activate one of two levers needed to open the gate at area #5.

4 – LEVER

You won’t be able to reach this lever until you’ve thrown the switch at area #9. Once you’ve spawned the bridge across the void, though, hit the switch to activate one of two levers needed to open the gate at area #5.

5 – LOCKED GATE & WARP POINT

Take out any drow in the area and then save your game at the warp point. The gate beyond will only open after you have switched both levers at areas #3 and #4.

6 – MYSTICAL WILL FOUNTAIN

This mystical will fountain is a welcome sight after the legions of drow you’ve been fighting.

7 – HEALTH FOUNTAIN

For those characters who rely on melee to take down their enemies, this health fountain will prove quite useful.

8 – LEVER

Flip the switch here in this alcove to spawn a bridge across the void near area #3.

9 – LEVER

Flip the switch here in this lowered area to spawn a bridge across the void near area #4, then proceed upwards to snag another Soul Shard.

10 – SOUL SHARD #19

Nestled in this corner of the keep is the nineteenth Soul Shard of the game. One more to go!

11 – EXIT TO EAST GRAND HALL

Once you’ve opened the gate at area #5, you can proceed through this exit to the East Grand Hall.
