1•5)…
- Go to the most north-eastern building in Sophanem and talk to Jex.
- Climb-down the ladder in the building, then the trapdoor.
- Follow the red line on the map to the ladder. Protection from magic is recommended. It is also recommended to turn off auto-retaliate in the combat tab.
- You will encounter one scarab trap via this path. BE HIGHLY CAUTIOUS as triggering it would drop you to a multi combat lower level.
