Upon
first entering the Troglodyte Altar you'll receive a message about the
quietness. For now, check out the northern wall right near the
entrance for a secret passage. You'll have to cross some lava and
disarm a trap to reach a storage room containing quite a few Elixirs
and some armor. You may want to equip the armor, and you
definitely want to pick up the elixirs.
Now
head back into the entrance room. There are two sets of stairs
leading up, and two passages leading off the room, one to the north and
one to the south. The northern passage leads to a water reservoir
and a storage room, but the storage room doesn't contain much of any
worth.
The
passage to the south will take you to another water reservoir, but this
one has some Healing Herbs on the ground. Check out the storage
room on this side for some Gremlin Wine.
Now
head east, choosing either the stairs or one of the side
passages. Whichever way you choose, when you approach the eastern
edge of the map you'll have to fight a battle with a variety of
Troglodytes. Clear the map by crossing the eastern portion of the
map, either north to south, or vice versa. The middle section
contains two living statues as well as the Troglodytes, so you'll have
to kill them too.
Just
north of the living statues, in a little alcove is a Slith statue
holding a Fine Slith Spear which you can take if you want.
Now
head up the stairs on the eastern edge of the map to approach the main
Altar. There is a large group of Troglodytes in front of the
altar, as well as a few Hulking Worgs. Once you've cleared the
room of enemies you can go up the ramps to the north, though none of
these rooms contain anything of note. Don't approach the altar
until you're ready for a large battle.
For
now, go to the south now, and enter the short hallway. To the
west is the room where the Troglodytes rest and wait to be blessed in
front of the Altar. To the east is a small dining hall, with a
Troglodyte Shaman standing behind it. Kill the Shaman, then go
through the door to the east.
You don't want to read the tome in this room, since all it will do is throw fire damage at you.
Check
the eastern wall near the tome however, for a secret passage.
There are two more living statues just around the corner of this
area. Once you've killed them, enter the small room to the
north. There's a second Altar in here, apparently much more
powerful than the first. I recommend dealing with this one first
and then healing your party before approaching the main one.
Perform
the Ritual of Sanctification and a Haakai will appear. They're
rather difficult to kill, so save your game before performing the
Ritual.
Once
you've killed the Haakai check out the northwest corner of the room for
another secret passage. There's a demon in here, guarding a
chest. Kill the demon and then check the chest for a couple
potions and a suit of Shadow Leather.
Heal
your party up, go outside and rest if you need to, then approach the
main altar. Performing the Ritual of Sanctification here will
summon 2 demons, 3 Vile Imps and 4 Hordlings. Kill them all and
then return to Shamirik to tell Commander Corrie you've completed her
quest, then go talk to Mayor Knight, who should now give you the
quest to go speak to King Vothkaro.
