Notes & Tips
- Each of Trompdoy's Illusions (1) give 1200 XP if killed.
- The statue at (D) can open the door leading to the last combat area, the solutions to its questions are:
- CUR = "very awful, rotten"
- CURE = "hex, misery, blight, curse"
- You gain 2,950 XP for correctly answering the statue's questions.
- In the final combat area, you can tell which one is the real Trompdoy if it has the Cursed status.
- Killing the real Trompdoy kill all of his Illusions. You only get XP for the currently active illusions in combat.
- If you wish to maximize XP gain, kill the first three illusions, wait for Trompdoy to summon the rest, and then kill the real Trompdoy which kills the other illusions for a total of 10,575 XP.
- The treasure room at (3) has many important items for various sub-areas around The Hollow Marshes.

The statue at 4 does not ask any questions. The rat does give the letters clue but nothing from the statue. This is in the DE version

I did all the points except 4. The statue never asked me any questions. Is there some way I can activate it?

I believe you are referring to the level that opens the portal/gate to let you go through. Once entering the area, the idea is to walk on the invisible paths.
There is a leaver right after the treasure room. Does anyone know what it does?
Note to anyone: don’t destroy the tarnished soul jar (like I did) this will kill gratiana, an npc at the hideout you can trade with for spells. (You can also give it to her for rewards)
