Bonfireside Chat 246: Western Altus
Added 2023-01-29 14:00:05 +0000 UTCWe know we've been in here for a while, but there's a lot of Altus to explore. We also get to pay a visit to one of ER's most overlooked legacy dungeons The Shaded Castle, but Torrent doesn't get to come.

The Slim Shaded Castle!?!?!

2023-06-24 19:49:01 +0000 UTCYou didn’t mention it but there’s one of the portraits hidden in a section of the moat. It’s extremely memorable to me because there’s a gap between the wall and roof you can fall into and become entirely stuck, which is rare for from to overlook. But I don’t fault them because of a game this size. Also, do y’all have plans on covering all of the portraits, their locations, and any significance they might have? Love the show!

The courtyard with a cleanrot knight in front and several dogs hiding in a corner behind. Even knowing about the dog ambush, it's always a challenge to take down either the dogs or knight before the other is on top of you. I've died more in that area than any other part of the Shaded Castle. As always, great discussion!
