Known Traps

Tips and Misc

  • Minor bug: Zeleth has a unique sense of direction. Just ignore her directions and follow your nose (or the map).
  • A few of the fights may include Exploding Constructs; if you don't take them out quickly, they'll explode. Kill the Boromar Trappers before they deploy these small spider-like detonator packs.
  • After examining the contents of an apartment or alley, the gang members outside typically attack first. For one of the apartments, the mob will await you to talk to the Daask Poison-slinger immediately outside. Use Diplomacy or Intimidation to talk your way without conflict, or fight. If you ignore them and walk past, a fight will break out immediately.
  • Down the first southern route, the crime scene is southeast. The southwest alley holds only an optional resident (and a collectible).
  • Morko, with a chest, is encountered in the room with the (only) shrine.
  • Lesstra is a non-hostile Medusa, located in a secret room off the southwest-most alley. Heroic: Secret Door (Search DC).
  • There will be an ambush, either when you speak with her or reach the clues at the end of that alley.
  • Optional: The last Resident (and a collectible) are down the short dead-end west of the final room.
  • The Goblin boss, Irk, plants exploding mines as he runs around the room, similar to the end boss in Undermine. Keep your eyes on him and avoid the mines when planted. Ranged attackers may find it easier to slay him and his Vaunt security teams from atop the large vats.
