| Quest Guide |
The Halls of Shan-To-Kor is a very large dungeon but we値l just be going over the path to satisfy the main objective.
Enter the dungeon and kill the Goblins and Wolves in the immediate area. Then continue down the spiral path until you reach the first hall. Enter the hall and move towards the West to find a secret door and a chest behind it. After obtaining the chest find the hall that branches off the Northern wall until you find a bridge.
When you reach the bridge, to lower it you simply must shoot an arrow at the lever next to it. There is however an alternate path behind a Secret Door on each side of the bridge. Whether or not you intend to go through the secret path and fight the spiders, search for the doors to add to your secret door bonus.
Move beyond the bridge where the ground slopes downward and a gate will close behind you leaving you to fight 5 or 6 Brown Spiders. Kill them and move up the path to find a Shrine on the right hand side. Directly on the left you値l find a nasty acid trap which is not disarm able. Make sure your cleric or wizard prepares the fire resistance spells, they are necessary for a very nasty trap in the near future.
After resting, disable the acid trap and move up the ramp to the left, killing the cleric and pulling the switch. Move down the path and pull the 2nd lever. Quickly run up the ramp and kill the Cleric and all other Goblins that come at you. Before entering the next room, know that there is a chest on the other side of the bridge and a fire trap that will hurt anyone on the bridge. There is an extremely nasty fire trap below the bridge that spans an entire room and is almost impossible to get through without taking heavy damage or using spells.
There are two ways through the fire trap below. Have a rogue move along the right hand side and disable the trap box in between the flames on the right wall and then after he gets clear of the flames, disable the trap box on the left hand side of the room near the unbroken crates / boxes. When those two boxes are disabled your group can take lesser damage while running on the right hand side to the end of the room.
The alternative way (and less time consuming) is to have your cleric / wizard cast fire resistance to everyone in the party as they run through the large room taking little damage. Regardless of your method you値l want to disable at least one of the traps for your trap bonus.
When everyone is safe across the room move into the next room together as a gate will close behind you making you fight a Minotaur. Kill the Minotaur to raise the gate and then rest at the shrine directly to the right.
After resting head up the path and hug the left hand wall as much as possible to avoid any damage from the cold or spike traps. When you get to the other side you値l fight a few goblins, then oozes and eventually you値l arrive at a large room that has two unactivated earth elementals on either side.
When your group enters the room together, the gate will close and the very large Construct Giant boss will come out of the gate across from you. He hits extremely hard and some of his melee attacks hit three times on each swing which can kill a party member even on a successful block.
Use your casters to maintain range from the boss as your melee characters protect the casters by either blocking the rocks or blocking the giant from coming near your caster. Having a Construct bane weapon or an Acid weapon will heavily increase the damage you do on the boss. After the boss reaches ｾ of his hit points the left elemental will activate and you can either avoid him or kill him. After ｼ of the boss痴 hit points are left, the final elemental will activate and you値l need to take him out too. After the boss dies, so will the elementals and you can loot the three chests that spawn. One of which will give you a mission completion.
Though there are other strategies that are easier, they won稚 be around for ever.
