Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon returning to the Kellid Barbarian Camp, buff your party as much as possible.
  2. 2
    Approach the center of the camp to trigger a scene where the Defaced Sisters accuse you. Your name will be revealed to a raven.
  3. 3
    If your disposition with the barbarians is positive (from the Illustrated Book Event, avoiding negative choices like drinking wine or arguing for the Sister to eat with the rest), you may be able to reason with Dugath.
  4. 4
    If your disposition is negative, Dugath will command his barbarians to attack.
  5. 5
    If a fight is inevitable, you can attempt a [Diplomacy 25] check, a [Lore (Religion) 25] check, or use a [Neutral] alignment-specific option to mitigate the fight.
  6. 6
    The Defaced Sisters and their loyalists will attack regardless of your disposition.
  7. 7
    If you need to retreat, consider moving south across the bridge, especially if Haste is active.
  8. 8
    Use debilitating spells like Confusion, Web, and Slow, and summons like Animate Dead to manage the large number of enemies.
  9. 9
    Focus on defeating the Sisters, who have high Armor Class and Damage Reduction, while dealing with the regular barbarians. Turn-based mode is recommended.
  10. 10
    After defeating the enemies, speak to Dugath. If he did not fight you, he will reveal the location of the Valley of the Dead. If he fought you, he will not help but will have dropped valuable gear.
  11. 11
    Loot Dugath if he fought you for a Breastplate +2, Cloak of Resistance +1, Belt of Physical Perfection +4, and Endless War (Greatsword +5 with the “Vicious” property).
  12. 12
    Collect the Cyclops Incense Burner from the Defaced Sister, if present.
  13. 13
    Proceed to the Gates to the Valley of the Dead to the south.
Tips
  • Buffing before entering the camp is crucial.
  • The raven will learn your name; this is unavoidable unless you skip the Kellid Barbarian Camp entirely by heading directly to the Gates to the Valley of the Dead after collecting all three Cyclops Incense Burners. This will prevent some quests from being completed.
  • The Defaced Sisters are the primary threat in combat due to their high AC and DR.
  • Using summons can help divide enemy attention and damage.
  • Turn-based mode can make the chaotic combat more manageable.
  • If you wish to obtain Dugath's gear without fighting the entire barbarian host, you can attack him after the main fight.
