The Temple Sewers

The Temple Sewers are a medium-sized sewer under the Imperial City containing goblins. It contains two zones: The South West Tunnel and The Temple Sewers.

Notes[edit]

  • This sewer connects to the Talos Plaza Sewers (under the Talos Plaza District).
  • Although the sewer is under the Temple District, there is no surface-level entrance directly from there. It can only be accessed via the Talos Plaza Sewers or the basement of Amantius Allectus' House (in the Temple District).
  • The basement entrance to Amantius Allectus' House can be opened without fear of being noticed by the guards; however, entering the basement is considered trespassing.
  • The southern door from The South West Tunnel to The Temple Sewers leads to a gate that can only be opened after completely exploring the section of The Temple Sewers accessed through the northern door.

Zone 1: The South West Tunnel[edit]

Key to Maps
The South West Tunnel

It doesn't make any difference which door you use to enter this zone from the Talos Plaza Sewers (doors E and F on the map). In either case, the only point of interest in the area is the minor loot chest in the northeastern room. If you are returning to the Talos Plaza Sewers, passing through door E provides the shortest path to the surface; see that page for more information.

Doors C and D both provide access to The Temple Sewers. However, you should pass through the northern of the two doors (door C), as the majority of The Temple Sewers is initially inaccessible if you pass through the southern door (door D).

Zone 2: The Temple Sewers[edit]

The large circular room
The Temple Sewers

Enter this zone from the northern of the two doors (door C on the map). The gate (E) directly in front of you is opened by the turn wheel on the right-hand wall (cyan dot on map). You can explore the two rooms off to the left before opening the gate (with two minor loot chests at the far end), but you may attract the attention of enemies in the rooms beyond the gate. If you do attract their attention before you have opened the gate, they may start fighting with the slaughterfish in the pool in the large circular room.

Open the gate using the turn wheel, and enter the large circular room. If you head left as you enter the room, you will find a minor loot chest containing potions. You should be able to gain easy sneak experience in this room due to the presence of the slaughterfish. If you fall into the water, there is a ramp against the southern wall of the room that you can use to climb out. The rooms to the south will be blocked by a remotely-opened gate, so climb the slope against the eastern wall of the room and pass through the gate to access the rooms to the northeast.

You will find yourself on a walkway above a room. You can drop down into the room, but this may invite an attack from several enemies at the same time. Instead, cross the walkway and follow the passage into the next room. You will emerge at the top of a staircase, and should be able to take on any enemies one-by-one. Descend the stairs, open the locked minor loot chest behind the stairway, and proceed into the room to the southwest to reach the boss chest in the water, watching out for enemies in the water. Another minor loot chest is in the northwest corner of the room.

Return to the previous room and head into the room to the northwest (with the walkway) and deal with the enemy within, if you haven't already. A turn wheel in this room (cyan dot) opens the gate (F) in the large circular room, allowing access to the southern section of the zone. There is also a minor loot chest against the northeastern wall.

Return to the large circular room, and pass through the newly opened gate. After dealing with the enemies in the next room and looting the minor loot chest against the northeast wall, activate the turn wheel against the southeast wall (cyan dot). This opens the slough gates (G and H) in the next room, and allows access to the final area. You can then proceed through the remaining rooms, ending your sewer crawl in the room containing the door to the basement of Amantius Allectus' House (door I). Unfortunately, there is nothing of any real interest in these final rooms, aside from whatever you can loot from the bodies of any enemies you encounter.

  • 2 Slough Gates at G and H (opened by the turn wheels in the rooms northwest and northeast of the gates (cyan dots))
