I'm writing this walkthrough from the perspective of entering from
outside, rather than through the Wolves Den, so if you've entered that
way you'll probably find it easier to use the map as well as the
walkthrough.
Upon entering you'll have to either light a candle, torch or lamp, or
cast the Light spell, if you have a mage in your party. I haven't
written down every time you'll run into goblins, because they're
scattered through the entire level.
Once you've killed the first few goblins, go towards the south, and
down the passage in that direction. There's a few goblins and bats down
here, but more importantly, there's a Steel Dagger in a container. This
is a good weapon for this early in the game, and you probably want to
equip it.
Now go back up to the river and enter the other passage. Once again,
when you get the option, go towards the south. You'll get a message
about goblins being near. After killing the goblins you'll find an Iron
Short Sword on the ground, and some lockpicks in a container.
Now back down to the main passage, and up towards the north. There's
some crates with food in them up here, which you might want to pick up.
Now it's time to head down the far southern corner. In the room at the
end of the passage you can pick up some potion making herbs before
heading through the door. There's a few goblins and a wolf in here. One
of the goblins will drop a Bolt of Fire scroll if he hasn't used it on
you. You'll find some coins and a curing potion in the chests. Now head
out the door to the west, but don't go down the ramp that's right
against the wall yet. Go a little to the right and there's a ramp
leading down to a locked room. There's a couple chitrach larvae in
there, but nothing else.
The next two side passages just lead to the garbage pit, which has a
serpent in it, and a room with a couple goblins. Off the garbage pit is
a secret passage leading to a room which has an amber crystal.
The next passage westwards leads to an area with three locked doors and
a chute leading down. The chute just takes you back to the chitrach
room. The three locked cells hold a mung rat, a giant lizard, and the
body of an Avernum soldier. Nothing much in there.
The last side passage leads to a bridge. Don't forget to pick up the
healing herbs on the ground, and there's some food in some pots right
before the bridge. Once over the bridge you can go towards the west,
but it's just a dead end, and there's nothing there but a bat. Now
towards the north, where you'll find the Goblin graveyard and a few
rats.
Now up and over another bridge. There's two goblins here, one of whom
drops a Bolt of Fire scroll. Through the door is the Goblin temple.
Kill all the goblins, and the two skeletal warriors. I've sometimes
found a Stone Short Sword+ here, which gives +5% less chance to be hit
in combat. It's generally not a good idea to pray at evil altars, but
remember it's there for later on in the game, as you can perform the
Ritual of Sanctification on it once you get the ability. It gives you
100 experience.
Now head down the passage to the east, into the area where the better
goblins live. There's a chest with healing potion. There's also a
secret passage in the little alcove near the river. This leads you to a
boat. There's some potion making herbs there, and also on the little
island right across. Into the boat and down the river. You'll see a
little ledge sticking out of the water with some poisonous areas and a
pool at the back. You can get a Lightening Spray scroll from the pool.
Now get back in the boat and row under the bridge to get to an
area with some mushrooms and a ramp leading down. Follow the ramp down,
but there's some Giant Spiders down there. Once you've dealt with them
clear all the webs and go down the little alcove. There's another
secret entrance here, through which you'll find some more Giant
Spiders. Once you've killed them check the ground for a healing potion
and a Nature Lore charm. Then check the chest for a Crafted Chain Mail.
Once you've gotten that go back to your boat and back to the main area.
Go back to the far south, and down the ramp to the Wolves Den.
