39. Fourth Cloakwood Sector

  • Look out for Hamadryad in this sector, who is capable of casting dimension door and dire charm, so be sure to have your own charm person or dispel magic spells handy.

  • There's a wyvern cave in the eastern portion of this sector, over a bridge. You can get a couple of wyvern heads from the adult wyverns in the cave. You can sell one to the mayor of Beregost, who also runs the temple east of the city, for 2,000 gold (and you can sell any others to certain shops such as High Hedge for 500 gold each). There's also a number of baby wyverns on the isolated, northwest portion of this sector.

NPCs in this sector: None

Enemies in this sector: Black and cave bears, Hamadryad, phase spider, tasloi, baby and adult wyverns

Magic items in this sector: None


40. Cloakwood Mines (East of the Fourth Cloakwood sector)
Above Ground

  • Lakadaar is waiting in the northwest corner of this sector. If you tell him you're looking for wyverns, he'll leave immediately, sparing you a fight. If you act otherwise, he'll attack with several guards, none of whom is carrying anything useful.

  • Inside the bandit compound, Drasus (63 hp, level eight) and his band of bounty hunters - Genthore (69 hp, level seven), Kysus (24 hp, level nine), and Rezdan (18 hp, level 7) - will confront you.

Enemies in this sector: Black talon elite, Drasus, Genthore, guards, Kysus, Rezdan, tasloi, wolves (normal)
