NOTE: Blood Raven possesses 50 percent resistance to magic, cold, fire, lightning, and poison. You'll find Blood Raven near the center of the burial grounds, likely surrounded by many skeletons, zombies, and hungry dead. Maces and clubs could help against the undead-heavy force, but you must still deal with Blood Raven, who's very quick and retreats often to attack with ranged weapons. Blood Raven also raises additional undead creatures; keep that in mind if you leave her alone to amass stronger undead protection. A weak Sorceress will likely have the toughest time with Blood Raven; it's difficult to deal with her ranged attack. Hit and run and heal as necessary. Get a clean shot on Blood Raven with your spells and avoid the undead as much as possible. Combat-oriented classes should have a less difficult time, as you can get inside her ranged attacks and confront her head-on. UNIQUE MONSTER: Search the optional dungeon, the crypt, inside the burial grounds for Bonebreaker, who's extra strong and possesses magic resistance. Extra strong increases minimum and maximum damage three-fold and adds 25 percent damage to each hit. Bonebreaker's magic resistance gives him a 75 percent resistance to elemental attacks. TIP: When you defeat Blood Raven, the resulting lightning effects destroy all the monsters in the cemetery. If you want to receive additional experience, fight the undead creatures first, then deal with Blood Raven. Zombies and hungry dead are quite durable and could be tough if you're a low-level character. Should you choose not to deal with the undead, defeat Blood Raven as soon as possible to clear out the cemetery. Act I, Quest II Log Entry #3: Return to Kashya for a reward. Defeating Blood Raven triggers her death animation (with lightning effects) that clears out remaining undead monsters in the cemetery. Return to the rogue encampment and speak with Kashya, who initially gave you the quest. Use a town portal scroll if you wish, but be sure to replenish your supply; town portal scrolls are essential in times of extreme danger. Act I, Quest II Completed Message from Kashya "I can hardly believe you defeated Blood Raven! Though she was once my closest friend, I pray that her tortured spirit remains banished forever. You have earned my respect, stranger...and the allegiance of the rogues. I have placed several of my best warriors at your disposal." Act I Bestiary: You may encounter tiny spike fiends, which include the razor spine, thorn beast, and the quill rat, scattered around the Act I landscape. There's nothing extraordinary about the critters, though some launch the painful quills as a ranged weapon. Scan the screen and spot when quills are striking you from offscreen. Seek out the offending spike fiend and eliminate him and its friends! Act I, Quest II Rewards After you return to the rogue encampment and speak with Kashya, the Hire choice is added to her dialogue menu. For acts I, II, and III, you can hire mercenaries from Kashya. Additionally, Kashya provides you with a free mercenary to use immediately. For multiplayer, all players who were in the cemetery when Blood Raven was killed receive the award upon returning to Kashya.
