You
have to clear this cave to complete the Ursagi quest for Mayor Rendell
of Golddale. It's definitely worth it, since you also pick up
several nice items here anyway.
You'll
get a couple messages while first entering the Lair about ambushes and
a deadfall trap. Though important you have to keep going, so just
ignore them for now.
Through
this cave are a lot of Ursagi, Bears and Goblins, so be prepared to
fight them at any time. Note that Ursagi in general sometimes
drop Ursagi Skin Armor when killed, and the Ursagi in this cave
sometimes drop wands when killed.
Follow
the passage until you get a message about an ambush being sprung, then
kill the Ursagi who've appeared behind you. You should be right
near the entrance to an open area with a pool of water by this point,
so stay in combat mode and enter the area to clear it of the
Ursagi. Be sure to look to the west, up a long drop to see the
Ursagi up there. Kill them using distance attacks or leave the
room to the north and they'll be coming along this passage.
Follow
this passage until you see a branch to the west. Take the west
branch and go along there, exploring the first two southern
side areas for Ursagi. The third passage to the south leads
to the home of an Icy Drake. Kill the Drake then check the ground
for it's trove. Among the various items is a book, which teaches
Call Beast Lv.3.
Go
back out into the passage and continue following it west and then
north, being sure to check all side passages for Ursagi, Bears and
Goblins.
When
the passage curves back towards the east follow it that way until it
splits, going north and south. For now go south to find the
Goblins area and the Bears area.
Now
go back to the north/south passage that led out of the first open area
you entered. Go north along the passage until it branches to the
east. This leads to a small area containing some bodies.
Check each of the bodies for items, since there's a few useful things
in there. Watch out for the Clumsy Ring though, you don't want to
equip it by mistake...or on purpose, for that matter.
Continue
north along the main passage again until it breaks into three
tunnels. Explore the western one first, to prevent an ambush from
behind, and then check out the northern one, which leads to an area
overlooking the room the western passage led into.
The
eastern passage leads to a rather odd experience. Kill the Ursagi
and Goblins, then approach the altar. You can perform the Ritual
of Sanctification here, but you don't get any experience, and it
doesn't sanctify the altar. Instead you'll get a message about
the difference of this magical energy. It's up to you whether you
want to do this or not.
Now
head back along the western passage, all the way to the end, battling
any remaining creatures you come across. This leads to the back
entrance of the Urasagi Lair, so go out the back way, then go around to
the front and enter there to pick up your horses if you had any.
Don't forget to head back to Golddale to pick up your reward from Mayor Rendell.
