Upon entering the next room, take a left and head up the ladder. There is a switch up there you will need pulled to get through a door. Continue along the left, and climb up the next ladder on the left. You will find a second lever which will open the door across from you.

Climb down the scaffoldings, bridges and ladders until you reach the bottom. Possible named gargoyle, Goliath, in the alcove to the right. Check and then head left (north). Be careful of the fire trap, and be prepared for the named spider, Venom. Venom drops a poison sack, which you can turn in for an extra end reward.

Climb the crates on your left and pull the lever. This is one of the two levers you need to open the door just ahead of you. The next lever is just around the corner to the north up a ladder, and there is a shrine behind the wooden doors. Be careful of the spike traps in front of the gate you just opened with two levers.

Head down the pit, but you do not need to descend all the way to the bottom. There is a hallway to the east that continues on. The bottom of the pit is a scorpion nest, but is easy enough to climb the ladder out.

The Sacred Helm
(Optional inside Shan-To-Kor part 2/3)

Quest Giver: Greezix the kobold, inside STK part 2
Level: 3 Party
Patron: The Coin Lords (4/8/12)
Length: Long
Entry Point: Through Greezix
Prereqs: Must be in STK part 2
Recommended Party: standard
Base Experience: 1,144
Quest Info:
--Creatures: Hobgoblins, Wolves, Minotaurs, Ogres, violet slime, gray ooze
--Traps: Spike/Blade, Dart

Walkthrough:

Many times this quest is just bypassed, and most pick up group members will opt against this quest. In this author’s opinion, this quest is worth the time. Led by someone familiar with the quest, this quest goes fairly quickly, gives decent experience and good favor.

The quest is to retrieve the Helm of Shaagh. You must work your way through the hobgoblin tunnels, through a system of locked doors and a few traps, to get down to a shrine where the helm is kept.

The Quest is fairly linear, so even if you haven’t done it often, or never at all, it is not difficult to follow. Start off to the left to go get the key to the door to the right. There is a spike trap in the hall which is disarmed by hitting a lever behind a secret door on the north wall. Beware darts in the back of the head as you pull the lever, though. Two hobgoblin witch doctors guard a chest with the key. Grab the key and head back.

The key opens the door to the east, which is a hallway that circles up and around to the ledges above. There are two guarded levers up top here. Pull them and drop back down, then head down the ramp through the now open door.

At the bottom of the hall is a pair of ogres guarding the door and the shrine. The shrine is accessible but the door is shut tight, needing another signal gem lever. Head east to find it. Around the corner is a pair of secret doors, hiding controls to the blade trap that is set just ahead. Deal with them and continue. The hall leads to a small room with a pack of worgs, their minotaur guard and a bunch of hobgoblins. Deal with them, and proceed to climb up the second longest ladder ever. Clear out this top hall and pull the lever that opens the door back where the ogres were.

Head up the sewers until you reach the next open area. You can clear the top area of casters and archers if you want, or just head down the ramp. The levers across both bridges are necessary to open a door down below you. Once you cross a bridge you will set off spike and dart traps, so be prepared for them. Pull the levers and drop down. Dispatch the slimes, and use the shrine to the south if you would like. When ready, continue south to the final fight.

Defeat the Red-Named hobgoblin cleric, Granduul and his minions. This will cause the chest containing the helm to appear and complete the quest. You get to keep the Unique: Shaagh’s Helm.

You have to options for leaving this quest to consider. The first is to recall out, this will place you back outside the sewer entrance of STK in the steam tunnels, where you can begin part 2 again from the beginning. Second option is to run further to the north and go out there. This will also enter part 2 of STK, but this entry point is at Greezix. It is a bit of a shortcut, but will cut off you ability to get conquest and some of the other optionals of part 2. Either way, if you completed The Helm in less than 5 minutes, you should let part 2 of STK reset before entering, or you will take a re-entry penalty.

Unique named loot, the cloven-jaw bow.

The first thing you will notice upon entering is the blazing white barrier surrounding the shrine. This is a safe zone, it will dust any undead trying to breach it. Consider it in making strategies, or a hasty retreat.

Travel the hall north. There is a frost trap in the side halls around the fountain, so either jump over the fountain or have a rogue disarm.

The central chamber has the altar you need to get to, but first you must purify the altars down each of the three hallways. There is a wight guarding each altar that must be defeated before purifying is possible.

There is a chest down the west hallway.

The north hallway is trapped by blades, which are set on the wall by the red crystal levers, which allow access into the altar room.

The east hallway has spikes if you go around the wall in the middle of the hall. The levers to turn off the spikes are on top of the central wall.

Once all three altars are purifies, the main altars guardians will be summoned. Defeat the three of them, Hellhound, Wight and Wight Priest to lower the barrier and cleanse the central altar.

North is gated off, so pick a different direction and start it up. All three of the other halls are basically identical. Clear them out and ward the Sarcophagi. Whichever hall you do last, the floor will break out as you ward the last Sarcophagi. Hop down and enter the lower halls. Be careful, as they are usually trapped.

Make your way to the shrine, choose either passage from the shrine, they both circle around to the main altar. Destroy the altars guardians.

Get ready to run as you purify the main altar. The wraith of Marguerite is invincible, and she wants a piece of you! The gate to the north opens, make a sprint down the hall. Oh ****! Closed gate. Quickly pull the levers on either side to open it. Aaaargh, they are trapped with fire, owe! Oh well, heal up and go, go, go. Oh bugger, another locked gate, quickly hit the lever and hope there aren’t any more traps. Phew, in the clear! Grab the stone tablet off of the altar and get out of there! Phew.

--Traps: sonic, poison, acid

The objectives are to retrieve the signet and to obliterate the Quickfoot Gang. Upon entry into the sewers, you find their lair locked up tight, so its time to search through trapped and spider infested tunnels for a release hatch for the front door. Once you find it (pretty simple, only one way to go) return to the beginning and enter the hideout.

Right away you begin killing off the rogue gang members. Entering a large sewer cistern, there is an optional across the water to the right. Climb the ladder to find yourself in the midst of a rogue party. Take ‘em out for the loot. On the bottom levels there is an optional named scorpion. Along the left wall, the wooden bridges will take you up top.

Snag the lever across from the door on the archer perch, then head into the main headquarters. Work your way into the back rooms, there is an optional locked door with a possible named and chest. Continue past that to the main rooms of the gang, and find the brooch. There is also a shrine around the corner and down the hall a bit. Now all ya have to do is clear out the remnants of the gang, and watch out on your way back to the sewers, as there is a newly armed trap, and respawns all the way back into the sewers.

Note: on elite the casters love to spaz sleetstorm. This is a difficult spell to deal with at lower levels if you don’t have a level 7 cleric with freedom of movement, or someone using freedom of movement scrolls with a caster level check at a lower level. Be prepared for them.

Recommended Party: any, healer and rogue are good
Base Experience: 1,668
Quest Info:
--Creatures: gray ooze, kobolds, ogre, hobgoblins, brown spider
--Traps: poison

Walkthrough:

As you work your way through the beginning sewer tunnel, it opens up into a large open chamber with a bridge running all the way around the room. Possible named caster in the main area. Clear out this main room and pull the two levers at the bottom. These open the three portcullises around the room. The first, at the top of the stairs and up the ladder, is an optional with a big mean ogre at the end, and a chest.

Left will take you to a slime room next to a large pool. You need to travel through the acid spouts to get to the two levers to activate the blue signal gems. If you have someone with evasion, send them through, they can turn of the acid with the valves as they go through.

Once those two levers are pulled, you can decide if you want to go for the optional under the water. There is a series of portcullis’ that raise and lower in an alternating pattern in the submerged tunnel. Someone with water breathing, a warforged, or worst case, someone with a very high swim skill, can try to make it through the tunnel, while another party member stays out and continually hits the portcullis lever. Once through, the swimmer can hit a valve on the other side that locks all the gates open. Continue up to fight the kobolds, possible an additional named and extra chest. Opening the normal chest will trigger a group of kobolds to pop in and see what’s going on.

Okay, back to the opposite side of the main room. You must travel up the wooden spiraling bridge and pull the lever at the top. This opens the bottom door. Travel down and clear the area. Pull both green levers. You can return to the middle are at this point, or continue through the next hall to the shrine, but be careful, there is a set of poison traps. The box is behind a secret door.

Okay, back to the central chamber. With all four levers pulled lighting both signal gems, the floor door is now open. Use the pipes to break your fall, or try to shoot straight down the middle. The landing is a nice splash, but a long fall to a bottom pipe can hurt… a lot. Find the ladder and climb up to the bridgework, where kobolds are currently bombarding you.

Clear the area and work across to the lever which will open the door. Clear the ooze that comes pouring through and continue on. At the split in the road left will take you to a shrine. There is also a secret door straight ahead with an optional named. If you open the door, close it, then open it again, there will be a named hob-goblin diplomat and an extra chest.

The last remaining route takes you to the end fight. Clear out the kobolds, grab your loot, snag the password, pull the lever and continue on to the end.

The quest will automatically advance to part 4.

Take the north stairway. Clear the hall to the end and grab the gold key. Head back the way you came, be careful of the acid spouts that are now spraying the hall.

Now take the southern stairway, which will lead you to the gold door. Open it with the key and head on through. Kill off the slime and pick off the casters up above if you can, otherwise just get across the room quickly. Stay out of the acid, it really, really, really hurts.

Passing the green locked door, head down and clear out the shrine room. Save it if you can. Head up the other stairway and clear the hall to get to the green key. Head back to the shrine room, once again avoiding the now active acid spouts. Now is probably a good time to shrine, coming back here is a bit difficult to do, the further you get. You are about halfway through. Head back to the green door and head in. Heading south you will get to an acid floored room with casters hooting at you off of a mixture of broken stairs and pipes, clear it and pull the valve at the top to open the door northeast. Continue on.

Work your way to another acid filled room, this one dotted by metal urns jutting out of the acid, hop your way across the urns to find a lever. Once pulled a door further in will open… and a few fences will pop up to make getting out of the urn room a little more difficult. Continue on.

Following the only open path will lead you to a green lever crystal. Pull the lever and backtrack just a little way to the northwestern gate you have just opened. Once again following the only open route will lead you to a lever, pulling it will open the passage north.

Clear out the room, grab the silver key off of the table, and open the door. A couple of right hand turns will take you to the locked door you passed in the beginning of the quest. The silver key will open it.

Clear out the next room, defeating Hosha Sillego will open the next door. Don’t forget to grab the chest as you move through. A short ways down the hall is a locked door to the south, picking it will net you another loot chest.

At the end of the hall is another room you must fight through and clear. Defeating Oran Zatlo will open the door at the bottom of the stairs. This opens up to the final room, where you will find the red-named drow scorrow, Thual. He isn’t alone, so be prepared for a good fight.

Walkthrough:

Work your way through the crypt. The first chest you come across isn’t trapped, but it will grab the attention of a bunch of skeletons and shut you in the room, so be prepared. When you get to the door locked by the valve rooms, the key is as follows: The west room with the ‘H’ rune, first hit the north wall, then the south wall valves. The north room with the ‘K’ rune, first hit the west wall, then the north wall valves.

The room south and east with the valve will open the gate to the southeast. The first time pulling it will spawn a couple bad guys. Clear them out, then leave on person there to operate the lever. The rest of the party can go to the southeast gate, when the person staying lets them in. They can then hit a valve on the opposite side to let the man behind out. Now just clear the archers up above to open the next gate.

All ya have to do now is work your way up to the top level of the library, take either passage up and around. Then lay Nepenth’s son to rest.
