Notes

With Greensteel Soultrapping weapons, The Graverobber on elite makes an excellent place to farm Soul Gem: Undead due to the number of hits the dread zombies take, the sheer number of them to the exclusion of nearly any other enemy and the fact that they do not readily save against trap the soul.
