Coldwood: Layenne's Tomb

A-To Coldwood B-Layenne's Tomb C-Chests

The path to Layenne's Tomb is guarded by several groups of powerful undead. The tomb itself is located in the northeast of the forest. Before entering, you may want to head west from the entrance where there are several treasure chests.

Layenne's Tomb

A-To Coldwood B-Succubus C-Succubus Items D-Gems E-Pedestal Room F-Tome of Power

Fight your way through the undead to the succubus' room to the south. She will reward you for bringing her three items she needs--the Succubus Stone, the Succubus Necklace, and the Succubus Ring. She will reward you in three ways. For one item, she will open all the doors in the tomb. For another, she will give you a Courtesan's Blade. For the third, she will reward you with a beatdown. Either don't give her the third item, or get ready to fight her. She's 13th level and is resistant to cold, electrical, and fire damage.

As you loot the tomb, keep an eye out for four gems--you will need them to solve the puzzle in the pedestal room. The iron golem guarding the two gems to the west can't be killed through conventional means--destroy the five glyph generators in the room to destroy him.

Once you have all four gems, enter the pedestal room. Each of the outside pedestals contains a tablet of light. You can determine which gem to put in which pedestal by examining the tablets. Place the Gem of Misery with the Tablet of Purple Light, the Gem of Honor with the Tablet of White Light, the Gem of Pain with the Tablet of Blue Light, and the Gem of Duty with the Tablet of Green Light. Take the Star Sapphire from the center pedestal.

Before leaving, grab the Tome of Power from the sarcophagus in the southwest room.

The Snow Globe

A-Exit Portal B-Arwyl C-Hodd D-Guardian White Dragon's Cave

Return the snow globe to Lillian, and she will put it in her room. Climb up and examine it. You can enter its tiny world, and you can rotate it so that the dryads are attacking the dwarves or the dwarves are attacking the dryads. For simplicity's sake, turn so that the dryads are the aggressors, then enter.

Get through the warring factions and enter the cave. Talk to the guardian white dragon. He'll tell you a little about this world, and he'll tell you about his Word of Power. Search the book piles near the entrance for Arwyl's journal and Hodd's journal. Take the Amulet of the Ages from a nearby chest and leave the cave.

Talk to Hodd. He will repair the Amulet of the Ages when he sees it. Now exit the snow globe, rotate it, and enter it again. Go speak to Arwyl, who will reenchant the Amulet of the Ages. Now prepare for your toughest battle yet.

With the Amulet of the Ages in hand, return to the guardian white dragon's cave. He will immediately attack you. He's a level-30 dragon, but the amulet will make him significantly weaker. Use fire attacks if possible, and just keep swinging until he goes down. A chest will appear after he dies, containing some good loot and the first Word of Power. When you take it, you will have your first encounter with Haedraline. Speak with her, then use the portal to leave the snow globe.
