Is there anything good to fight or get in Temple Ruins?

Well, there's a bunch of shadows, and a dragon. Dragon drops scales which can be used to make armour. It's leather with AC 1. And when you kill the Shade Lord, he drops a couple of magic items. And there's the reward from the mayor which you get when you complete the quest.</font>

<font color=deepskyblue>There is also a very important scroll dropped by the dragon. It tells how to create one of the most powerful weapons in the game.</font>

and with the right equipment fights are eeasy! and get you a lot of XP.

Good equipment doesn't net you more exp [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't forget the Arla's Dragonbane +3 sling...not to mention the sunfire bullets that go with it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

For some reason I have trouble believing that little rocks that explode into little patches of flame can injure a dragon, especially a red one... But that's just me :D .

I have another question related to the Temple Ruins. As there is a second shadow door in there that I have never found a way of opening for. Is there any? Or should I content myself with walking over that lava patch every time?

There is no way to open that door so you have to walk over the lava unfortunately.

Confirmed.

***<font color=#3D2F1B>Remember that light gem you get from the mayor in the sfvirneblin village? Pass back through the dungeon with it, and you'll be able to crack the door. Has a nifty stash of loot in there.</font>***

What would this nifty stash entail? I've never heard of it personally, but ten, i've never gone back there after chapter 3 either.

I don't know of anyone else who has returned and used the gem; hasn't crossed their minds [img]smile.gif[/img]

I doubt the contents are that good, however...none of the very good items are found there [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's holy fire. I find it easy to believe that 'little rocks that explode into little patches of flame' can hurt anything when a God gets involved.

Besides, it's the sling itself that has the +mod vs dragons. Load it up with whatever you want. However, it is better to save the fire bullets for Undead.

Game Trivia:
--------

Take heed that the Sling of Everand's only advantage is its' unlimited phanthom bullets. It does not gain STR damage bonuses from magical bullets like the other slings do.

I know, and Arla's with the Bag of Plenty is better vs. dragons anyway [img]smile.gif[/img]
