Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 3: There's a secret door on the south side of the entry chamber, between the staircases leading up, that has two chests behind it. Beware, though, because the chests have a Lock Difficulty of 20 and very powerful traps. If you don't have at least a level 7 master of Disarm Trap ability, you probably won't survive opening either chest (but if you do, you'll find some cool treasure).
  • 2 of 3: Once you get into the main temple, there are three more chests to find and plunder. One is in the middle of the large central area where most of the Honk worshippers are gathered. Another is in a small office north of that, and the third one is hiding behind some crates in the little downstairs storage room to the south.
  • 3 of 3: If you do decide to try to kill all the Honkies in the central gathering area, have your high-level spellcasters ready Chain Lightning as their quick spell and cast it over and over again. That seems to work even faster on these guys than other great spells like Poison Cloud and Souldrinker.
