Redemption
(Korthos, Part 5)

Quest Giver: Ursa Jernsvard
Level: 2 (Solo/Party)
Patron: The Coin Lords (3/6/9)
Length: medium
Entry Point: Korthos Island
Prereqs: Korthos Parts 1-4
Recommended Party: Any
Base Experience: 496
Quest Info:
--Creatures: Iron Defenders, Sahuagin, Murm Dul (Named Sahuagin)
--Traps: Blade and Poison

Walkthrough:

Break through the door on the far side of the open area in which you start. From there, you will follow the hallways around until you reach an intersection near some spraying poison and a blade trap. If you have decent search, there is a secret door on the northwest side of the intersection that hides a valve to turn on the first poison stream. The next valve is behind another secret door further south, just before the next stream.

Once you've worked past the acid and/or traps, you'll need to go down the slope into the deeper portions of the Manufactury. Work your way around, noting the door with the blue force field, until you can see three crystals being sprayed by an alchemical substance. You can either pick the lock to that room or open the nearby wooden door to reach a valve that will open the door. Next, turn off all the valves in the crystal room and break the crystals.

Finally, go through the door that had the force field on the way in, speak to Heyton, defend him and then speak to him again.

Note: Contrary to the dialog, you cannot just go to the base of Misery's Peak and talk to Amalgam to do the next quest. You must turn in Redemption to the quest giver first.

End Reward: Select one of:
- Cloak of Faith (Shield of Faith 1/day)
- Curative Cloak (Cure Light Wounds 1/day)
- Feather Cloak (Feather Fall 1/day)

Stopping the Sahuagin

Quest Giver: Gunnar Bauerson
Level: 2 (Solo/Party)
Patron: The Coin Lords (3/6/9)
Length: medium
Entry Point: Korthos Island
Prereqs: Complete The Collaborator
Recommended Party:
--Any
Base Experience: 672
Quest Info:
--Creatures: Sahuagin, mephits, spider
--Traps: Poison, Sonic, Cold

Walkthrough:

This quest is linear until you reach a fork in the path by a column with a switch on it. Each path leads to a room with a door that closes once you progress far enough into the room. There is a switch on the far side of the room that open both the door onward and the door back.

once you reach the ice room, you will need to use a switch on both sides of the room to open the door onward. After opening that door, ring the gong twice to break the ice floor in the main room. Drop down, hit the levers on each side of the room to open an underwater grating. Swim through to reach the final area. At the top of that path, there is a puzzle that must be solved to finsih the quest. The puzzle is protected by Kraak; a red named ice spider.

Tips:
- You can use the switch on the pillar to close the patrolling guards in the poison trap room.
- You can close the wooden doors in the gong room to block the trap.
- After you move up the water toward the puzzles, sahuagin will come from behind. If you go back down the water ramp, you will find that they have opened a door to a shrine.
- Solving the puzzle requires lighting the gems on the south end of the platform. Light can be directed along the sides of the platform in addition to the top.

End Reward: Speak with Gunnar Bauerson to select one of the following:
- Battered Helm (Intimidate +1, Haggle +1)
- Engraved Circlet (Will Save +1)

The footprints make the hidden door pretty obvious. After opening it, grab your chest on the far wall and then open doors and fight your way to the end where you'll face Jacoby. Once he is dead, Kiv Nerl will spawn with an optional chest.

Misery's Peak
(Korthos, Part 6)

Quest Giver: Amalgam, Korthos Island
Level: 3 (Solo/Party)
Patron: The Free Agents (3/6/9)
Length: medium [Ed. note: This estimate is clearly off. You'll want to allow more time than any other medium attempted so far.]
Entry Point: Korthos Island
Prereqs: Korthos, Parts 1-5
Recommended Party: Any
Base Experience: 676
Quest Info:
--Creatures: Undead, Spiders, Humans
--Traps: none

Walkthrough:

Once Heyton has cleared your way, you'll find that most of the dungeon is very linear. With a couple of exceptions that will be addressed in this walkthrough, you will just follow the path to the end.

Not too long after starting, you'll reach a closed door with a shielded rune on the floor. This is your introduction to a type of switch used multiple times in Misery's Peak. Strike the icebound figures to release zombies. once they have been dispatched, you will be able to step on the rune to open the door.

The next room requires a side trip to open up the next door. Follow the bottom of the room around until you reach a door with signal crystals. Near that door is a ramp leading up. Follow that ramp up to another zombie rune and open the ward.

Once you step through the opening that was so-recently-warded, you'll have multiple directions you can go. Head up the ramp, following it around until you reach a flat area with another zombie switch. Head northeast through the newly opened door and activate the first switch.

As you come out of that room, head up the ramp to the next zombie switch. When you activate the rune, it opens a door a level below. Move northwest to a ramp down and then go left at the branch. Through the door on that platform you'll find the second switch.

Now it's back to the ramps, staying to the left and heading down whenever possible. If you reach a point where it looks like the only choices lead up, turn and face north -- there's a ramp down that is easy to miss. When you reach a relatively flat, icy area again, go south along the wall. This will lead you back to one of the ramps. Keeping the wall to your right, just go up the short ramp and down the short one on the other side. When you get back to zombie switch, look for the ramp down. It will lead you back to the bottom of this cavern and the now-activated signal crystals. Onward!

Not too long after you get to see the dragon, you'll find a door with no switch. Just before the door, there are some ice steps leading up to a platform on which the switch can be found. Activate it and move on.

The next room is another where switches must be found in order to make progress. Shortly after you enter, you will see ice steps leading up to the left. Follow them up to the next level where you will find some more steps up to the left and an ice walkway ahead that curves along the wall to the west side of the cavern. Follow the steps up first to the room with the first switch and activate it.

Next, move back down to the walkway and head to the west side of the cavern. Follow the steps up on that side to another room with the second switch and activate it. Now you can follow the steps on that side all the way to the bottom and charge south through the newly opened door to meet the oncoming enemy.

After the door in the next room, you will see a ring of casters performing a ritual. For those who are amused by such thoughts, it looks like they could all be taken out with a single blade barrier without having to move. However, as soon as they see you, they summon a red psuedo-named Ice Flenser. Shortly after you dispatch it, a set of cultists will charge through the far door to attack. Finish them off, activate the next three zombie switches and then step into the last room.

Wait for the scripts, break the crystal, talk to Heyton and step through the portal. Congratulations! You've completed Misery's Peak.
