Notes and Extras
  • 1 of 5: Scattered about the outdoor area are small piles of bones you can use to find items. The item you get is randomly chosen at the moment you use the bones, so save your game first in case you get useless items. Another thing to watch out for is that you have a chance of getting diseased, too.
  • 2 of 5: The northernmost Thrall camp has a pedestal near it that gives a temporary +10 to Accuracy.
  • 3 of 5: One of the Thrall camps in the SE section of the area has two Stat Barrels. Make sure you have the character who will benefit most from each barrel selected when you use it.
  • 4 of 5: There are also several treasure chests in the SE section's Thrall camps, plus one more behind Anskram Keep.
  • 5 of 5: If you're planning on promoting one of your fighters to be a gladiator someday, save one of the Basilisk's skins (you'll need it for the gladiator promotion quest).
