Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 5: Don't click on the ore storage bins in the mine's first room unless you want all three of the local main quests to be auto-completed. (Yes, it's a bit of debugging code left in by the game's programmers.)
  • 2 of 5: Use all the mine carts and storage bins to find lumps of Elemental Thjorad that you can sell to the armor shop guy in Thjorgard City.
  • 3 of 5: After you free the demoness, you can kill all the cats in her area for fun and tiny amounts of experience, and you can also shoot a stalactite to get it to drop into a hole in the floor (to keep more cats from getting in, I suppose).
  • 4 of 5: There are a lot of trash piles in the west part of the west mines that you can loot for items.
  • 5 of 5: There are stat barrels all through both the east and west sections of the mines. Get 'em all!
