Walkthrough
- 1Ice Caves of Sorrow [mis19]
- Objective: Navigate the caves, avoid Mursaat and Jade enemies with their damaging Spectral Agony attack (100 damage 5 times + 10 arrows of health degeneration). Avoid or time movements through catapult fire (150+ damage). Destroy two Dwarven boats. Use a catapult to destroy White Mantle catapults. Clear the area near the northern door, blow it open with a keg of powder. If not doing the bonus, exit southeast, work south and west, blow open Evennia's cell. After the movie, blow open the door west of the cell. Wait for Mursaat patrols to move south, they will be killed by Dwarven catapults. Keep Evennia from catapult fire. Kill remaining enemies and escort Evennia to the Dwarven ship.
- 2Bonus Objective: After blowing open the first door, head southwest and exit. Blow up a door guarded by Mursaat and Jades. Enter, face White Mantle, and find Rornak Stonesledge. Blow open his cell and talk to him. Backtrack to the main mission path. When reaching Evennia's cell, ignore it. Grab a keg of explosives, blow open the door east of the cell. Enter the cave area. To the south, 12 Mursaat Elementalist s will approach. Retreat into the small cave you just exited. The Mursaat will pass by, destroying non-White Mantle enemies. Go to the area they emerged from and talk to Hamdor Grandaxe to complete the bonus.
- 3Iron Mines of Moladune [mis20]
- Objective: Seek the Seer to get armor infused against Spectral Agony. After the first path of enemies, take the lower path (river/frozen river) instead of the shorter, Mursaat-filled upper path. Enemies include Trolls, Hill Giants, Azure Shadows, Blessed Griffins, Stone Summit, and White Mantle. Dodge catapult fire. Reach the mountain top and fight Azure Drakes, then the Seer. Seek the monsters she speaks of east in a large cave. Kill the boss, Eidolon, to obtain a spectral essence. Return the essence to the Seer for armor infusion, reducing Spectral Agony damage to 9 (5 times) and 3 arrows of health degeneration. Proceed northeast to reach Markis and Jade Armors (statues that transform).
