General information about the Korlasz Family Tomb The above map presents the Korlasz Family Tomb , which you must explore right after the beginning of the Siege of Dragonspear expansion. It's a two-story location of moderate size, in which you can encounter Saverok's underlings, as well as various types of monsters. Your main goal during the visit in the tomb is to locate and capture the sorcerer named Korlasz , who can be found in the large hall at the bottom level of the location (M1,19 ). Don't force your way there, as you can complete various side activities while exploring the tomb. Aside from that, there are numerous traps scattered around the bottom level of the tomb, which can damage severely the party if you're not careful.
Most important places in the Korlasz Family Tomb 1. Starting location
By default, you will find a number of friendly characters here. Those are, above all else, Imoen , with whom you can speak about venturing into the tomb, as well as the Flaming Fist Healer . After interacting with the latter one, you can pay for healing, purchase potions and scrolls, and ask a series of questions about the methods of dealing with various undead creatures. You have to get back here during the final moments of your journey in the tomb (provided, that you won't decide to leave the location as soon as the battle with Korlasz ends).
Note - the allies mentioned above will follow the party while you are exploring the tomb. Thanks to that, you won't have to get back all the way to the starting location when, for instance, you need the services of the healer. Additionally, you can drag those characters into combat, by luring the monsters to the locations they are currently at.
3. Crypt - Ammon
Here you will meet Ammon , and you will learn, that the woman needs help with finishing her experiment. You can either offer her your services and unlock the Tome of Great Value side quest, or attack her. In the latter case she will summon a number of creatures to her aid.
5. Crypt - Fanegonorom
You can access the crypt by using thieving skills, or by finding the key lying in the area (M1,6 ). Here you will meet a mummy called Fanegonorom , from which you can get The Mummy's Orders side quest. Alternatively, you can attack and kill the mummy on the spot.
6. Armory
Exploring this room is optional. Inside you will find a mage called Porios , together with his guard. You can attack the enemies, or convince them to lay down their arms and surrender to the members of the Flaming Fist. You can acquire the key to the crypt with the mummy (M1,5 ) inside the armory. Additionally, there are numerous weapons and ammo in the room.
13. Large Hall
Inside of this place you will find, above all else, the rope, which can be used as an alternative method of traveling between the floors of the tomb. There's a closed gate here as well, which can be open with the mechanism located in the western room (M1,17 ). There's a group of mercenaries inside, who can be killed, or convinced to surrender.
16. Grave - Restless Spirit
After exploring the tomb, a Restless Spirit will appear. The best approach is to offer the help and unlock a side quest called The Shattered Staff . If you, however, prefer to attack the ghost, be prepared, as the enemy will summon a number of bats to aid him in combat.
19. Altar
This is the location at which you can find Korlasz , who must be defeated as a part of the main storyline of the expansion. After you've taken enough of her health, you can decide whether to finish her off, or to spare and capture her alive.
23. Entrance to the secret chamber
The room is very well hidden. In order to get inside, you must pick up the torch (M1,21) and go with it to the east, the room with the purple flame (M1,22) . Then you must use the flame to light it up and put it back from where you have taken it. In the secret chamber you can most of all find a note collecting which will unlock the Sarevok's Secret side quest. In addition to that, there are two locked chests in the room - use a thief to open them. Opening one of them will trigger some monsters to appear.
