Bethesda Susa: Difference between revisions

'''Bethesda Susa''' is a mid-game dungeon that the player is sent to with the quest [[Decoding the Signal]]. There are several challenges in this location which can require careful preparation:

* Steadily decreasing [[temperature|temperatures]] as the player descends, lowering [[Quickness]]. (The temperature drops by 9 degrees for every floor below ground.<ref>XRL.World.Parts.BethesdaColdZone</ref>)

Before entering Bethesda Susa the player should be prepared to face:

* High-damage attacks from [[cragsmensch]].

* Cold temperatures - possible ways of mitigating these are through gear or mutations that grant cold resistance, or by counteracting with increased quickness. The player may freeze solid on the penultimate level without some cold resistance.

* A [[Mechanimist]] holy site - if the player has sufficient reputation with the Mechanimists, for example by donating at the {{favilink|sacred well}}, this can be a peaceful encounter.

The first of three similar levels, each guarded by a unique [[troll]]. This level is guarded by {{favilink|Jotun, Who Parts Limbs}}, who carries the {{favilink|bronze key}} needed to unlock the down staircase. If you are neutral with the Trolls faction, you may trade with them for the key.

This level is defended by {{favilink|Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path}}, the third and most dangerous of the trolls. Haggabah possesses the {{favilink|gold key}} required to advance.
