Overview
Wayfinder Dael has asked you to retrieve the Seal of Shan-To-Kor. She believes the leader of the Cloven-Jaw Hobgoblins knows of its whereabouts.
To reach the Cloven-Jaw Tribe, you must first enter the Steam Tunnels from the Marketplace.
Somewhere in the depths of these tunnels is a Kobolds' Blockade. You must fight through it to reach the Cloven-Jaw Hobgoblins on the other side.

Known Traps
Spot and Search DCs for Traps and Secret Door
Open Lock and Disable Device DCs
- Skill DCs and pictures of all traps, control panel locations, locked doors, and secret doors can be found in the above links by hovering over the description text.
- Spike and blade trap in the room to the north after the second drop, behind the locked gate
- Sonic trap behind a secret door in the water, protecting a collectable. Fires once and no way to disable.
- Spike traps behind the crystal-locked door. Two sets of them, and the control panels only disable half of the corresponding set.
Tips and Misc
- The INT runes found by taking the first left need a DC 17 Intelligence check. If you can activate them, an optional wight priest will spawn in the newly opened door.
- The kobold ambush optional which spawns by opening the chest after taking the first right will also count towards the slay 50 kobolds optional.
- When you reach the group of three levers only the middle one needs to be pulled. The one of the left opens a redundant passage and the one of the right doesn't seem to do anything at all.
- There are several points where you have to drop from one level to a lower one. After that point, there is no way to return to the previous higher level.
- The first of these is just past the first shrine, after you pass the blockade.
- The second is actually in the same spot, after you drop down into the Puzzle Room.
- The Puzzle Room warns you not to power the four posts. Each post, once powered will spawn a spider, at least one of which will be a Black Widow. Spin the tiles away from posts to eliminate this threat.
- Behind the locked gate to the north, after the second drop, will be a group of kobolds and a chest with a closed gate on one side and a wooden door on the other.
- Killing the Kobolds will unlock the chest and open the gate to the left.
- The wooden door to the right containing the human necromancer optional can be opened in one of four ways:
- The door can be smashed open with DC 16 Strength.
- The door can be burned down with any fire type AoE spell.
- Open Lock can be used to pick the lock on the door which has DC ♦25Normal ♥25Hard ♠25Elite.
- If you kill the kobold thrower right next to the door, his death explosive will burst the door open.
- At the end of the quest, don't overlook the chest near the entrance to the follow-up quest.
Bonus XP
- Devious bonus: 10 or fewer monsters killed +7% Bonus.( ♣44 ♦80 ♥86 ♠92 )
- Discreet bonus: 20 or fewer monsters killed +5% Bonus.( ♣32 ♦57 ♥61 ♠66 )
- Aggression bonus: 26 or more monsters killed +10% Bonus.( ♣63 ♦114 ♥123 ♠131 )
- Onslaught bonus: 52 or more monsters killed +15% Bonus.( ♣95 ♦171 ♥184 ♠197 )
- Conquest bonus: 78 or more monsters killed +25% Bonus.( ♣158 ♦285 ♥307 ♠328 )
- Neutralization bonus: 2 or more traps disarmed +20% Bonus.( ♣126 ♦228 ♥245 ♠263 )
- Mischief bonus: 84 or more breakables smashed +8% Bonus.( ♣51 ♦91 ♥98 ♠105 )
- Vandal bonus: 109 or more breakables smashed +10% Bonus.( ♣63 ♦114 ♥123 ♠131 )
- Ransack bonus: 134 or more breakables smashed +15% Bonus.( ♣95 ♦171 ♥184 ♠197 )
- Notes: The insidious cunning bonus is unobtainable due to the required kills of Amrog, the Gatewarden and the five kobolds needed to open a gate. The tamper bonus is unobtainable because disabling the second trap brings you right from tamper to neutralization. Even though there is a secret door, the perception bonus is unobtainable.
