Sorrow's Furnace was not the only place where the evil Stone Summit had pressed the Dredge into forced labor. Deep within the Vloxen Excavations, Dredge toiled away under the watchful eye of their Stone Summit taskmasters. On the surface, this dig appeared as yet another ore mining operation, but clues hinted that the Stone Summit had uncovered unspeakable horrors. They were using slaves to excavate this ancient evil. With the help of some escapees, we confronted this horrific presence and stopped the Stone Summit's wicked plans.

[edit] Notes

  • See Dredging the Depths for a walkthrough of that quest.
  • 1500 Deldrimor reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon for the first time in normal mode, and 750 points are awarded for subsequent completions. 2250 Deldrimor reputation points are awarded for completing this dungeon in hard mode for the first time, and 1,125 points are awarded for subsequent completions.
  • There are two routes to the first portal. Each route has a boulder trap, being rolled over by a boulder does not cause Death Penalty.
  • There have been reports of rock slides.
  • Watch out for Poison Dart turrets.
  • When you kill an "ancient" mummy or elemental, it will revive in two minutes. Killing the foe again does not count towards Dwarven Raider and does not yield loot or experience, however the ancient mummies will leave exploitable corpses whenever they are killed.
  • When you have to face a large amount of Stone Summit it is possible for you to re activate the first resurrection shrine making you have to travel back through the entire length of level 2 to get back to where you were.

[edit] Bugs

Bug Bug.
If Taskmaster Bellok is killed and the key retrieved, and then the dungeon is exited or failed, sometimes if the quest is not abandoned, Bellok will not drop the key the next time one attempts the dungeon.

[edit] Trivia

  • This dungeon holds multiple references to the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark:
    • There are two tunnels through which a giant rock will come rolling from behind, which will crush players and foes who do not move out of the way quickly. A similar trap is shown in the movie.
    • When approaching the Area Map in level 2 of the dungeon, which is guarded by drakes, the player character will say "Drakes. Why'd it have to be drakes?", which is a (slightly altered) quote from the movie.
  • On second level when you enter the area with Zalnax from northwest entrance, three Panicked Stone Summit Dwarf will run past you.
  • The second level of this dungeon is the same map as Bloodstone Caves Level 1 with minor changes.
  • The third level of this dungeon is the same map as Slavers' Exile - Justiciar Thommis's level with a few changes.
