Important areas on the map
Starting area. You begin the exploration of the dungeon here. There are containers nearby with potions, flint and tinder and other loot.
Room with a mural. There are a lot of traps here and you can disarm them or avoid them. A hidden button is by the mural - it opens a nearby secret chamber (03).
Secret chamber. You can open it by finding a button by the mural (02). The most valuable treasure from the chest are the Engwithan Bracers (resistance to Might afflictions).
Small adra column. Examining it triggers a vision with the expedition members.
Room with monsters. You'll encounter Scarab Beetles and Luminous Revenants here. There's some minor loot in the area.
Luminous adra column. Reaching this room will update "The Storms of Poko Kohara" quest (you will have to explore lower levels). Container with two scrolls.
Stairs connecting the first and second level of the dungeon.
Corpse. On your way to the corpse you'll pass by the corrupted adra pillar. After reaching the corpse a new vision will trigger, you can search the corpse to find an expedition log. Locked door with a lvl 11 lock - you can open the door and use the shortcut to level 3 of the dungeon or go all the way around.

Room with a locked door. You will encounter Corrupted Adra Animats here and there's also a Sigil of Nightmares which can put a curse on your people (move away from it while fighting the animats). You must open the door on your way to the third level of the dungeon - open the lvl8 lock or obtain the key in the collapsed hall (11).

Ambush. Entering this corridor will result in a group of skeletons suddenly appearing and you must kill them (eliminate the skeleton sorcerers first).

Stairs connecting the second and third level of the dungeon.
Room with electricity. You have to solve a simple puzzle here. Avoid the lightning and keep destroying essence batteries while travelling counter-clockwise.
Beza's corpse. You can read her soul and take Beza's pages which come in handy later in "The Storms of Poko Kohara" quest (meeting with the souls in The Adra Realm). You can also collect the Ngati Idol and the unique Beza's Toothed Blade sabre. Minor loot in the shrine's chest.
Engwithan Machine. Reaching this machine is an important step in "The Storms of Poko Kohara" quest. Interact with the mechanism to open a portal to The Adra Realm where you can meet with the spirits and make a decision concerning the luminous adra pillar.

Types of enemies and monsters in Engwithan Waystation
Scarab Beetle
Luminous Revenant - Typical undead. However, you shouldn't underestimate these enemies. They are rather durable and resistant to Intellect based abilities. They can also use, e.g. Luminous Essence ability which makes them stronger, smarter and faster for a limited time.
Adra Animat - Rather powerful monsters that can become even stronger after turning into Corrupted Adra Animats.
Engwithan Saint - You can find two of these creatures in the dungeon. Fighting with each one of them is a great challenge. Kill the Saints first and then focus on Adra Animats. Saints are invulnerable to diseases and poison.
Desert Imp - These monsters are invulnerable to mind attacks and
Desert Spider - They come in a few variants. The bigger the spider, the more threatening it becomes. Spiders can slow down and poison party members. They are also resistant to Dexterity based abilities.
Skeleton - They come in a few variants. Those that can use magic should die first.
Xakoras - A unique enemy in one of the tombs. Xakoras can summon skeletons and Adra Animats. Focus all of your attacks on him - his death eliminates all summoned creatures. Xakoras is resistant to diseases and poison.
Sigil of Nightmares - A unique threat. Sigils are pillars of energy that can inflict curse on those who get closer to them (their range is marked by a circle around them). Their curse lower Resolve by 2 points for 30 seconds. Try to stay away from them - destroying Sigils is problematic. Lure monsters away from them if you are in a fight.

Your party meets with spirits (one of the options leads to a confrontation with some of them or you can get rid of them all). After that you have to make an important decision regarding Luminous Adra pillar (more details in the description of The Storms of Poko Kohara quest).
