Overview

1 – Crate

You’ll find Camping Supplies inside this crate.


2 – Treasure Chamber

To get into this treasure chamber, you’ll have to detect a button on the wall next to it. Pressing the button will then open the entrance door. Inside the chamber you’ll find an Ornate Sword Hilt, which you’ll need for the quest The Blade of the Endless Paths. You’ll also find a Fine Mace and a Fine Large Shield in a shelf.


3 – Table

You’ll find an Expedition Log Page on the table here.


4 – Pool of Blood

If you jump down from the pit on Level 2, then this is where you’ll end up.


5 – Drake

At this spot you’ll meet a drake who will grant you the “honor” of being its next meal. When you refuse, it and the xaurips with it will attack. This can be a tough fight depending on where you are in the game. For an easier time, retreat to the south and go through the doorway so you can block off most of the melee attackers. Then focus your ranged attackers on the priests and start weeding out the xaurips so you can eventually focus on the drake.

None of the combatants will drop anything interesting when they die, but in a bone pile next to the drake you’ll find an Amulet of Health and Ilfan Byrngar’s Solace. Nearby you can also detect a second bone pile containing a random magical item.


6 – Drafden’s Corpse

On this corpse you’ll find Hirbel’s Protective Skin, a Crested Hat, and an Expedition Log Page.


7 – Trapped Sarcophagi

Inside these two trapped sarcophagi, you’ll find the Peridot Overseer Seal and the Sapphire Overseer Seal, which you’ll need for the task Seals of the Endless Paths.


8 – Merec’s Corpse

On Merec’s corpse you’ll find a Bloody Expedition Log Page.


9 – Sealed Door

You’ll need the three Overseer Seals (including the two at #7) to open this door. See the task entry for Seals of the Endless Paths for more information.
