You might also have trouble with Mire of the Damned. An early visit is essential if you want to do Snergle's quest and master the Axe skill, and also complete the "Place the Statuettes" quest you picked up in Blackshire, but you also need to get one of the memory Crystals from Castle Darkmoor, and that's a hairy place.

It's probably going to happen in Kriegspire too, unless I really hurry up. I've got the quest for the superior temple but I was hoping to level up a bit more before I did that. Plus there's the other three dungeons in that zone, and I'm guessing it's going to respawn before I finish all of that.

Also, I'm thinking about going to Dragonsand and killing the couple of wyrms that hang out just north of the little town and then check those occasionally to see when the zone respawns before I tackle it (and Varn), so that I don't have to worry about it re-popping in the midst of either of those. I know that the first time I went in was for the pedestal quest and I think that was around mid-year, but I don't remember exactly.

I didn't find the Superior Temple of Baa particularly difficult, but I've never played the game the way you're doing it, so I've never done it at a low level. In fact, I've probably never done it at an intermediate level, either.

Hadn't killed the oozes in Dragoon's Caverns in Ironfist. Did that. Had skipped a room full of sorcerer's in Gharik's forge. Did that. Went back and killed the Minotaur King in the temple of the Sun and did the Fire Lord, which I'd skipped.

Then I went back to Kriegspire, finished the castle, then the cave of the dragon riders (some of that was a pain), and finally Agar's laboratory (also a lot of fun). So I never need to go back to Kriegspire again. In the midst of that I went to Eel infested and cleared all of the outdoor critters.

I just got to a full moon, so I'll do the temple of the Moon in Free Haven and I also realized I didn't entirely clear Corlagon's when I did that so I'll go back and do that.

That will leave me with the other 3 oracle quests, Paradise Valley, Hermit's Isle and Dragonsand before I get to Varn. As best I can tell I've completed every other quest in the game and cleared the dungeons completely and all the other outdoor areas except those and Sweet Water, which of course will come last.

It's December - I checked Dragonsand and it has repopped, so I have lots of time. Checked Mire of the Damned and it hasn't, but I figure it will at the end of the month. I had planned to do Darkmoor after I'd cleared some of the other big outdoor areas and levelled up some, but I took a deep breath and decided I'd go ahead and do it now so I can get to the baa temple to heal up without having to kill anything else. Not looking forward to it, but I gotta get it out of the way sooner or later.

Level 73 now. Once I'm done with Darkmoor there will be 10 zones that I never have to go back to (have to go to Freehaven, of course). I do like spending the night and selling in New Sorpigal, so I'll probably keep doing that.

When I was finished with the last big room where the memory crystal was, my little warning light was still yellow instead of green in one part of the room (remember that I am sworn to completely clear out every dungeon). I ran all over the place trying to figure out where the extra enemy(s) were but couldn't find them. So I finally went ahead and portaled to the Book of Liches Room, went out and finished that quest.

Then I went back in, ran down the large areas on the outside of that last section, and still couldn't find anything. Finally decided to go up the little ledge to the secret doorway and found two more eyes up there. Then found out here was a secret door behind them and a room with treasure including four books of Armageddon. I'd never known that before.

Anyway, I did Paradise Valley in a day and a half. Dragons up close and personal - everything else at range. Never had to use the healing temple. Also a day and a half for Hermit's Isle - everything at range. The Supreme Temple took me a long day, a lot of it spent trying to find a couple of still living critters. Turned out I'd missed a doorway somewhere - I'm pretty sure I've never entirely cleared that dungeon before, though I did know to jump down in the firepit to kill off Slicker Silvertongue and his party.

Trained up to level 87 and started on Dragonsand. First I cleared a path to the obelisk so I could complete that quest, and that's where I am now. So I have Dragonsand, Varn, the Control Center, Sweetwater and the Hive left. Varn and the control center being the major challenges. Not sure I've ever completely cleared either of those before.

My problem is that something is still alive in there. My little warning light is yellow around the control center and back to the room down there with the chest. It's yellow in the west half of the radiation room and on the east side of the little rooms to the west of there. It's yellow in parts of the slope on the exterior of the pyramid. I can pretty much map it out and it's centered maybe just a bit south of the control center. It never turns red, however.

Interestingly, if I take the lift with the 3 buttons on it (the one where the extra exit is), it turns yellow about halfway down.

First time into the Hive I decided to try just jumping down into the big room and swinging away. I actually survived for quite a while and killed quite a few of them but I wasn't going to finish so ran out and healed up overnight and finished them off the next day. The rest of it was pretty easy.

One thing I wanted to do was kill all the devils in the final room. I knew from experience that if you kill the queen first and then hang around to kill the others that you'll end up failing, so I had to get all the others first. Took me two tries, but I did it, though one of my characters was unconscious by the time I left and everybody's hit points were close to zero.
