Inside this shelf you’ll find the unique wand Elawen Ein.

Activating this pedestal will open up the nearby exit door, allowing you to descend to Level 8 (via Exit B).


13 – Locked Door

The only way to open this door is to pick its lock.


14 – Throned Fampyr

You’ll meet a fampyr here on a throne. He’ll try to talk to you. If you know the Engwithan language (gained during the quest Undying Heritage), then you’ll be able to communicate with him, and he’ll ask you to deal with the “pests” who are bothering him. The “pests” are the other fampyrs occupying the level. If you kill all of them and return to the throned fampyr, then he’ll allow you to pass unharmed, and he’ll even give you a bit of background information about the Endless Paths.

If you can’t understand the fampyr, or if you don’t want to do his dirty work for him, then you’ll have to fight him plus all of the darguls with him. The fight can be nasty, especially if you start out surrounded, but the throned fampyr will drop Argwes Adra when he dies, which is a useful piece of armor.


15 – Chest

You’ll find Camping Supplies in this chest.


16 – Trapped Chest

Inside this chest you’ll find the unique crossbow Good Friend.
