Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
Should I go into the big haunted castle?
1 of 8: If you feel like it.
2 of 8: It's not related to any quests, and it's just there for experience and atmosphere mostly.
3 of 8: If you do decide to go in, you'll find a bunch of zombies and skeletons, a minor lich or two, and the big bad evil guy, the Lord of the Damned.
4 of 8: The only real "puzzle" in this place is to find the various keys to open the locked doors.
5 of 8: The door to the upstairs is in a chest where the throne room normally is in most castles.
6 of 8: The key to the basement is upstairs, in a room in the bottom left of the level, guarded by a bunch of skeletons and a minor lich.
7 of 8: You can just unlock all the doors with Unlocking Cantrip if you want, but that takes all the fun out of it!
8 of 8: The bottom level is a bit bigger than the rest. Your objective is to find and kill the Lord of the Damned. Once you've found him, you can either go around killing everyone else in the place, or just leave. There's not much good treasure here unless you're an evil-aligned mage.
