Dathoria Tips

  • Prepare the Shovel, Rope and Crowbar before beginning to avoid repeated trips between Port Hope, Ankrahmun and Fibula.
  • Keep every special item in a protected backpack and do not move the Snake Destroyer to a house or depot before finishing Mission 9.
  • Use Dwarven Rings in the catacombs and assign teammates to the six levers before opening the timed wall.
  • After completing the statue, return directly to Hairycles for the final report, then request shamanic powers and test trade.
