This area is the main quest region for Formello. Be sure you have bought all the mage spells you want first, before finishing this area. There's a crystal to the NE, and you will have to return to it once you've cleared out Motrax's tunnel. Clear out the ground floor level, then head to the basement.

There's a number of enemies here, including some slimes. Near where ol' Motrax used to sleep, you'll find a Treated Carapace shield. It's a better shield than most you'll find.

Head to the west first, as the east has the final boss. There are many lizards in the west corridor, as well as some bats and other nasties. You can get some help for this section by going to the north and activating the west-most golem. It will help you a fair bit, though not endlessly. Head south and take out the drakespawn and eventually the young drake. Kill it for a Wyrmskin Helmet, a better helmet than 90% of what you'll find in the next few hours of playing. Check out the jar next to it for the Motrax tablets.

Next head to the east corridor. You have to take out 4 thorny fungi, so be prepared. Once you clear these fungi, head to the east room. There are 4 basins here that you can drink from. Drink from the west-most and east-most basins for some decent effects which will aid you in the battle to come. Head south. A vahnatai confronts you. Kill it (it can be tough, so use some of those wands you've saved up, and give your fighters some curing potions. Destroy its pylons first, as they heal him when he's hurt). It drops a blue crystal shard and a Blessed Silk Tunic (this tunic is good for mages). Check out its loot for a spell book of icy rain, and two vahnatai cloaks (keep these for a later quest).

Head back up to the crystal, and you'll get a very important item. Return to town, and the shade has moved in. This closes many things, preventing you from getting some items.
