Prison For the Mind - Main quest | Forlorn Cliffs / Darklake District Walkthrough Sword Coast Legends Guide

Last update: 03 February 2017

In the prison, approach the bars and talk to Gorflun (M12,Gorflun). You learn that Duergars are being controlled by a secret power and it is your mission to save the city. First of all, you need to find the prison warden. Thanks to his keys, you can move around the entire prison freely. Go there (M12,Jargol The Jailor), kill Jorgol The Jailor and loot his corpse for the keys (Stronghold Prison Keyring). After a short exploration of the prison, go North and get to the higher level in the keep. Keep using Search, during the exploration. In the location, there is a lot of gear, lots of chests and secret passages. On the second level of Overlake Hold you find a blacksmith (M12,Kowal). Next to him, there is a toolbox (M12,7), where you find the other half of the legendary axe. In the neighboring room, you find a Duergar schematics to complete the side quest (M12,8). After you do the shopping and explore the area, go to level three, in the Overlake Hold. Just like previously, you find here lots of chests to loot. Keep moving North and you will, eventually, reach the Duergar king. Before the conversation, you will be welcomed by the Lord of Illithids. After a short talk with the Illithid, talk to the Duergar king - Horgar V (M12, King Horgar V). The king opens a passage behind him. In the nearby chest, you find another ruby that you need for the quest - Marked Rubies (M12,12) and a half of a legendary weapon.

to unlock the passage, you need to deploy your party members on the floor buttons (use, Stop command to make them stay put). After the deadly poison cloud is released, approach the three blazing torches and click of the leftmost one to open the passage to the next location. After you make it over to Overlake Ramparts, go up. Along your path, you encounter Illitid, which you will have to fight with.

During the battle, keep in mind that Illithids can control minds. If you notice that a party member is under control, switch to the cleric quickly and lift the curse. Command the cleric to stay away from the battle center. In this case, not only is it to prevent the cleric from being cursed, but also to prevent him from being the first target that your allies attack, when they are possessed. If the Illithid gains control over the well-armed rogue, you can be sure that the cleric falls within several seconds. The battle with Illithid is quick. Cast all of your buffs, as cleric, mage and warrior, be it offensive or defensive. Also remember to use the Hidden Dagger as the rogue. This will increase the cooldown of the mind-control spell, by several hundred percent.

After you defeat Illithid, talk to dragon Themberchaud and be on your way. Remember to collect your reward from the corpse of Illithid. It is a legendary robe that is ideal for the mage. After you reach the destination, you see Moontear (M12,Moontear). During the conversation, you also learn that Bryn was a Succubus for the whole time. He grabs Moontear and escapes.

For completing the quest, you are rewarded with 11900 experience points.
