When you enter
the area, you will want to head towards the south. You will need to
speak with Gaal (remember him from the surface?). Along the way, you
will encounter a couple of traps and a few Shadows.
1.
Valve trap - When you enter this room, the doors will lock down and a
Cloudkill spell will be released into the room. Two Vampiric Mists will
also appear and attack you. You must turn the valve in the center of the
room in order to open the doors and clear the air.
2.
Meet Gaal and receive the quest to recover the "Rod Artifact".
Gaal will give you the key to open the door at location #3.
3.
Use the Gaal Key to gain entry.
4.
Speak with Sassar to learn more about the "Cult", and the
power of the "Rod". Sassar will change your quest objectives a
little. He will ask that you use the Rod against the Unseeing eye. He
tells you to find the first piece, and then return and ask him where to
find the second piece. At that point, Sassar will send you to speak with
Tad who is by the Pit of the Faithless inside the Cults main area.
5.
At location #5 you will find one of the Sarcophaguses that hold the body
parts of Kangaxx (from the Docks
District). If you are doing his quest, then you will want to grab
the Arms and Legs out of this room. Before you do that, go ahead and do
the Sightless Eye quest. As Sassar mentions, you do not want to risk
injuring any of the cult rebels. When you do decide to open the
Sarcophagus, a Shade Lich will pop out. One easy way to deal with him is
if you have the Daystar sword (found in the Gates
District). Have a party member begin casting the Sunray spell just
before the Lich has finished pulling itself out of the ground. Below is
a screenshot of what may happen if you get lucky and time it right...
 |
Notice how the Sunray spell hit the Lich just before the Lich finished
hitting his Spell Trigger. The Lich died and then his trigger finished.
Anyway, if you are not so lucky, another good way to deal with the Shade
Lich is to hide in the hallway. Cast summon Spiders and Animals into the
room one at a time until the Lich has used up all of it's memorized
spells. Once the Liches protection spells have worn off, send your
fighters in the wipe him out. Return to the Sarcophagus and grab the Golden Arms and
Legs.
6.
Stairs leading to the Unseeing Eye area 2.
Follow up:
[Spoiler Warning!!!] Read only after you have finished the main Cult Quest) - You can return
to the Cults main area after you have finished the quest. Gaal will
attack you with the few dedicated cultists that remain. Gaal will drop
the "Girdle of Fortitude" and one of his guards will drop the
"Heavy Crossbow of Accuracy".
