City of the Grey Dwarves - Main quest | Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District Walkthrough Sword Coast Legends Guide

Last update: 03 February 2017

During the nightmare, explore the dreamworld and reach Belaphoss. After you talk to him, you wake up safe in your camp. After you replenish your supplies, use the world map and select Gracklstugh - Darklake District. After you get there, on the left you note a Duergar maltreating a slave. If you help him, you will be rewarded with what is in the cart. To help him, you need to have high dexterity (DEX) and kill the Duergar before anybody notices, or intelligence (INT) to make him believe there are no guards around. Your task, while you are staying in the Dreugar city, is to find Izhkin's contact. You find him in the central part of the city (M11,Omur). After you get there, search the nearby residence. N there, you find a legendary hammer half. From the conversation with Izhkin's contact - Omur, you learn that you need to obtain four amulets. These amulets change your and your companions' looks, thanks to which you have freedom of business on Druegaur soil.

The Tended Amulet:

To obtain the first amulet, go to Gorstaf (M11,Gorstaf) and talk to him. Your quest is to find Linzin, and Gorstaf may have some information on his whereabouts. The information tells you that Linzin is somewhere in the Southern part of Darklake District. For this, go there (M11,Linzin) and talk to Linzin. From the conversation, you learn that he will gladly give you his amulet, after you deal with his problem with Gorstaf. After the conversation with Linzin, return to Gorstaf and talk to him. From the conversation, you learn that you can pay up Linzin's debt in two ways. The first one is to pay 3000 GP, and the other one is to accept the quest. The objective of the quest is to take the pie to Brumnum, to the inn in Darklake District. After you do that, return to Gornstaf, then to Linzin, who gives you the first amulet.

For completing this miniquest, you will be rewarded with 1000 experience points.

The Rusted Amulet:

For the second amulet, go to the inn in Darklake District (M11,Inn) and talk to T'zor in the last room. The conversation does not result in anything good, so go to the innkeeper and ask if he can help you, in any way. He asks you to collect several Cave Moss, which you could have already collected, while in Underdark Descent. If you missed them, return there. After you are back, the innkeeper brews a potion for you, which puts T'zor to sleep. For the potion, you need to pay 200 GP, but if you prove a high amount of charisma points, the innkeeper gives you the potion free of charge. The quest with the potion was also a side quest from the innkeeper - A Touch of Poison. Return to T'zor and talk to him. Serve him the wine from the innkeeper. As soon as T'zor drops down, run through his pockets to find the amulet. .

For completing this miniquest, you will be rewarded with 1000 experience points.

The Filthy Amulet:

You obtain the third amulet while exploring Thanagar's vault. Go to the tax office in Darklake District (M11,Tax Office), and search the room. There, you find scales and three weights (light, medium, heavy). Put the light and medium weights on the scales to open the secret passage into the vault. In the last chamber of the cave (Thanagar's Stash), you find Slimy Derro. After you try to retrieve the amulet from him, he turns into a monster that you need to kill. Loot the corpse for the third amulet (Amulet of Disguise). Also, remember to search the entire room. Here, you find another Marked Ruby that you need for the side quest - Marked Rubies. On your way back, you encounter several more opponents (Captain Grombash). It is important to start the battle with him, because he has one half of a legendary bow.

For completing this miniquest, you will be rewarded with 1000 experience points.

The Itchy Amulet:

Go to the Southern Darklake District (M11,Eradin) and use Search to find bloody marks left by Eradin. They will take you to the house, where there is Eradin all covered in blood. After you talk to your allies, you learn that most probably, he was sold a faulty amulet. Return to Omur and demand answers. After a short conversation, Omur gives you the actual, fourth, amulet. For completing this miniquest, you will be rewarded with 1000 experience points.

With four amulets on you, go to the main entrance to Gracklstugh (M11, Gracklstugh Gate Guard) and talk to the guards. After you get to the Business District, you need to get to the main gate. There are two ways to do this. You cant either walk around the guards or fight them. If you want to sneak, it is necessary that you avoid Duergar Spotters (they are marked in red, on the radar).

Note! In the Western building, there is a chest that you can loot for the second half of the legendary bow. It is necessary that you do that before you enter the gate area. After you exit the building, you will be automatically apprehended by the guard, who takes you to the prison.

Reward for completing the quest: 3800 experience points.
