Assuming
that you're first approaching the Troglodyte Castle after receiving the
quest from Mayor Knight of Shamirik, you'll be stopped at the gates and
asked if you have the papers from the mayor. Say that you do and agree
to be blindfolded.
When the blindfold is taken off you'll find
yourself locked in a small cell. Wait for a while until someone comes
and tells you King Vothkaro will see you now. North along the passage
outside your cell and you'll be hustled back into the cell by someone
saying that King Vothkaro isn't ready to see you yet. However, there
will now be a scroll in the cell. Read the scroll and wait some more.
The next time someone comes to tell you King Vothkaro will see you now
he actually will. Go through the doors at the end of the hallway and
into the throne room. Talk to Vothkaro, and when he asks you to do
something for him, agree to do it. You'll find yourself back in the
cell, but now the secret door to the west, near the bed, will let you
through. Go down the ladder and complete King Vothkaro's quest. When
you come back up the ladder someone will be waiting for you with a
message. This gives you the quest to bring down the Troglodyte/Giant
barrier, so if you wanted you could go kill King Vothkaro and clear the
Troglodyte Castle if you want.
Make sure that you don't kill Vothkaro before you get this quest. You
don't need to report back to him once it's done, so you can kill him at
any time after the quest is given and still get the experience, but if
you kill him beforehand you won't get the quest. I don't know what
result that would have on the game.
If you decide not to kill Vothkaro now you can leave through a secret
passage in the southeast corner of the hallway outside your cell, but
once you leave the castle you won't be able to get back in until you've
finished the Concealed Tunnel.
If you do decide to finish the castle now just head back up towards the
throne room. As soon as the guards see you the battle will be on and
everyone in the castle will now be hostile. Go into the throne room and
kill King Vothkaro and his guards. Make sure to check the items
dropped, because Vothkaro will drop a Ring of Skill.
Now head out the doors to the east of the throne room. This takes you
into Vothkaro's bathing chamber, which contains nothing of note. The
doors leading north out of the bathing chamber enter into a long
hallway running north and then curving west at the end.
The first two doors to the east lead to small libraries. The second
library has a section of wall that you can use Move Mountains or a
Stoneshatter Crystal on to break through into the next room.
Notice that discolored patch in the middle of the floor? That's a trap,
and when you get about halfway across it's going to open up and drop
you into a pit of lava.
The door to the north leads to the treasure room. To even open the door
you're going to need use Unlock Doors Lv.2 and then Dispel Barrier Lv.2
or a Piericing Crystal, or, if you have it, you could just use Dispel
Barrier Lv.3 which acts as Dispel Barrier and Unlock Doors Lv.2.
The treasure room is guarded by three demons. Once you've killed them
all check the chests for a nice amount of coins, some Blessed Bolts, a
suit of Blessed Studded Armor, and Ghoulbane, which is one of the
magically enhanced spears in the game.
Once you're done the treasury head back into the hallway and follow it
around the curve to the west. There's a series of bedrooms and barracks
along here, and the trash pit in the first room. Don't forget to check
chests and dressers for items.
Now go back to the north/south part of the hallway and check the doors
to the west. The northern of these two rooms appears to be the meeting
room. The second room is where the Troglodytes have set up statues and
memorials to their ancestors.
Go back to the throne room now, and through the doors to the south.
This takes you to the barracks. To the south of the barracks is one of
the sections where Troglodytes watch for enemies approaching the
castle. The door at the west end of this passage leads to a small room
containing either a Khazi or a Shaman, I'm not sure which. You can also
kill the other Khazi or Shaman across the way through the arrow holes
with long distance attacks.
Back to the throne room again, and this time head out the last set of
doors, which lead west. This is a large courtyard with a lot of the
various types of Troglodytes in it. Kill them all and move west again.
This is another courtyard, but there's only Troglodytes and Troglodyte
Warriors in this one.
The door to the south of this second courtyard leads to another
barracks. Again, the barracks have a door leading south to the other
section from which Troglodytes watch for enemies. Go check the room at
the eastern end to see if the Shaman/Khazi you killed there had
anything on him, then head back into the second courtyard.
Go west from the courtyard and you'll find yourself in a small
Troglodyte Temple. You can perform the Ritual of Sanctification here as
well.
Head south from the temple and you'll be in a hallway which goes in
several directions. Straight across should be a storeroom with a
variety of items, most of which you probably won't need by now, but
check to make sure.
The room west of the storeroom are the Castle's holding cells. One of
the cells contains a Giant Cockroach, and one contains a Giant. The
rest of the cells are empty.
Go north from here and through the first doorway leading west you come
across. This is where the Troglodytes keep a few worgs in some pens.
Kill everything in the room and then go back into the hallway.
The next room on the western side is where Troglodytes are taken to be
punished or tested. The middle cell contains a Mutant Lizard. They're a
lot tougher than Giant Lizards.
The last doorway leading west leads to a smaller hallway with two doors
to either side. These are bedrooms. The room in the northwest corner
contains the Slow Spellshard in a chest or dresser.
Go through the doors at the north end of the hallway and you'll be in a
narrow long area where the Troglodytes apparently grow their crops.
Go back into the hallway and through the doors to the east. This leads to another long hallway.
The door leading to the north is a barracks, and the last dresser to the east contains a Knowledge Brew.
To the south is yet another barracks, this one apparently for the
higher ranking Troglodytes. There are also two bedrooms in the
northwest corner of this barracks.
Go back into this cross hallway and through the doors to the east.
You'll be in yet another hallway, again running north/south. At the
south end is the Castle's forge. The doors to the east all lead to the
dining hall, and to the east of the dining hall are the kitchens, with
a pantry to the south and a storeroom to the north of the kitchens. The
pantry contains three cells. The middle one is empty but the others
contain a Nephil and a Goblin, both of whom are hostile.
Now head back to your cell and out the secret entrance in the souteast
corner. Return to Shamirik to get your reward from Mayor Knight and
then head up to Lorelei to begin the Giant portion of the quest.
