Overview

Gwylan Fellthistle was a ranger whose heroic sacrifice secured the region of Gwylan's Stand for House Phiarlan. Recently, House Thuranni claim jumpers invaded Gwylan's Stand and began pillaging its ruins, defying both Phiarlan's claim and Fellthistle's legacy. Sabotage House Thuranni's supplies and slaughter their mercenaries to drive them out of Gwylan's Stand.

Known Traps

Trap DCs

Type	Description
None	On the way to the bonus chest there are acid, poison, and spike traps with no control panels
Cold	North temple ramp
Electrical	On the platform at the bottom of the stairs of the pit area
Fire	Heading to the bonus chest and south temple
Force	Going up the stairs to the west temple
Force	At the bonus chest
Magical	Poison traps in west temple
Mechanical	Spike and spinning blade traps
Sonic	Going up the stairs to the west temple

• Several of these traps activate only if a sentry guard spots you and activates the trap's nearby control column. A pinpoint ranged attack can stop these guards cold and keep the trap off. Rogues can still disable these traps once the sentries are eliminated.
• Solo players with good Sneak skills may find the quest easier to control as mobs that often activate as a character enters will not see you and therefore won't activate traps or call for reinforcements. A ranged option can also remove many enemies without traversing traps or generating mob aggro.

Tips and Misc

• Arlyn Feathercrest (rare orange named Elf Sorcerer) may sometimes be found in the west complex.
• Lyardiir Arrowfel (rare orange named Elf Ranger) may sometimes be found in the south complex.
• The ruin is full of traps; do let the rogue lead once your party reaches the ruin.
• The northern and western entrances inside the ruin will lead you down into some underground complexes; for each complex there is a central chamber with a shrine as well as a huge crowd of mobs. The southern entrance will lead to a similar complex where the final boss awaits. Scattered throughout these complexes are several devices that hostile NPCs will attempt to use when they spot you, and if they are not stopped in time, certain traps will be triggered.
• This quest is difficult to solo as the eight cylinders were individual and heavy items (20 lbs each), causing a low STR player to become burdened. This has changed a little in recent updates so that the items stack in your inventory, saving space, but are still heavy. Low STR characters can go back and forth from the troll cave to pick up canisters, but be warned that while the crates tend to respawn in the cave, so do the trolls there.

Walk-through

Entry of the Ruins

• On the top and bottom of the second set of stairs on entering the ruins there are spike traps. The bottom is disabled by a panel on the wall to the left just next to the first spike trap; the second is on the wall to the right above the stairs.
• There is a troll cave just past the resurrection shrine (easy to miss)- grab 3 of the canisters inside. Proceed to one of the sections below, then return (dimension door optional). The canisters will respawn and you can grab 3 more. Repeat another section, and return for the final 2.

North part of the Ruins

• At the first intersection, there is a set of spike traps at the bottom of the north stairs. There is a panel for it on the east wall just above the stairs.
• On the stairs going down in the north side courtyard are lightning traps. The panel should be on the wall to the left before you go down the second set of stairs.
• Off towards the east heading towards the north temple on a block is a spike trap. The panel is on the wall to the right before jumping or climbing up on the block.
• In the north temple going down the ramp on the right side fork on the first three columns are three frost traps. The panels are on the column with the traps. The first is on the left, the second is on the right, the third is on the left. There's also a trap at the left fork at the bottom ramp before getting to the gate. The panel is on the right of the first column.

West part of the Ruins

• On the stars leading up to the west temple from the first intersection there is 1 sonic trap and one force trap. One panel should be on the ground level to the left of the stairs and one at the top of the stairs on the left.
• In the west temple there is a trap in the middle of the pillars in the Supply Crate room. The panel is located on the Southeast Pillar.

South part of the Ruins

• At the first intersection, there is a set of spike traps at the bottom of the south stairs. There is a panel for it on the east wall just above the stairs.
• After the south Stair Spike trap, where the pathway narrows, there is a fire trap. The panel is on the wall to the left outside of the narrow area. A good tactic before disabling this one is to use the trap on the enemies on the other side, using ranged attacks to lure enemies into it to soften them up or kill them in their own trap.
• Up the northern staircase in the southern courtyard is a path with miscellaneous traps along it. There is no panel for these.
• At the end of the trapped path is a chest with 4 force traps. The panel should be located on the wall to the left of the chests, on the far side of the pillar.
• At the first landing in the southern temple there are blade traps at the top of the next ramp going down. The panel is on the east wall.

Bonus XP

• Discreet bonus: 29 or fewer monsters killed +5% Bonus.( ♣111 ♦197 ♥209 ♠221 )
• Aggression bonus: 33 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣222 ♦394 ♥418 ♠442 )
• Onslaught bonus: 67 or more monsters killed +15% Bonus.( ♣333 ♦591 ♥627 ♠663 )
• Conquest bonus: 100 or more monsters killed +25% Bonus.( ♣555 ♦985 ♥1,045 ♠1,105 )
• Tamper bonus: 9 or more traps disarmed +10% Bonus.( ♣222 ♦394 ♥418 ♠442 )
• Neutralization bonus: 12 or more traps disarmed +20% Bonus.( ♣444 ♦788 ♥836 ♠884 )
• Ingenious Debilitation bonus: 14 or more traps disarmed +30% Bonus.( ♣666 ♦1,182 ♥1,254 ♠1,326 )
• Mischief bonus: 17 or more breakables smashed +8% Bonus.( ♣178 ♦315 ♥334 ♠354 )
• Vandal bonus: 23 or more breakables smashed +10% Bonus.( ♣222 ♦394 ♥418 ♠442 )
• Ransack bonus: 28 or more breakables smashed +15% Bonus.( ♣333 ♦591 ♥627 ♠663 )

Notes: Kill bonuses are reasonably easy to get as this quest has a ton of monsters. Breakables are all located in the south complex, making Ransack easy. Ingenious Debilitation will be quite tough to get on elite as you need nearly every trap.
