If you've outgrown your Exploration Society Leather Armor and want to upgrade, but just don't want to pay those outrageous prices the shopkeepers charge, you can visit the Glenden Wood Dungeon for a sturdy Platemail Hauberk!

This quest was updated during the Reign of Terror event. The hauberk is now an attractive deep purple color!

The rumor to the dungeon can be purchased from barkeep Ystig Marson at The Overlook Tavern in Glendon Wood -  29.4N, 27.2E.

Rumor: Glenden Dungeon Directions

Glenden Dungeon Directions
To the northwest of town, underneath the hill, rests what looks like a vast prison complex. Travelers have told of gruesome sights and even of a sacrificial pit, into which none have been brave enough to leap! Tough monsters lurk everywhere, it's said; it's not a place for newcomers to explore. I also did hear that many of the doors are locked, but that the keys may be found within the complex itself -- with considerable effort!

The entrance to the Glenden Wood Dungeon is on the outskirts of town at 30.0N, 26.4E (no level restriction). The dungeon is large and sprawling, with numerous locked doors and chests throughout. You'll encounter all sorts of lower level creatures, including Drudge Slaves (Level 12 & 14), Banderling Blades and Ogres, Granite Golems, Liches, and Silver Rats.

From the entrance room there's only one passageway out. At the first split, do not take the door behind the table and chairs, but head to the long room to the NW. (The door behind the table takes you down a long hallway with a locked cell at the end containing Shore Armoredillos.)  Kill the Drudge and the Banderling, then take the north hall. Skip the first right to the east, continuing down the passage past a series of rooms until you reach a large open dining room.

You'll need to collect a few keys before continuing. From the dining room, take the west exit, opposite the way you came in. Continue straight past the open hall to the right until you reach a small room. Take the west passage all the way to the end then make a right. Behind the door is a room with 3 Drudges. One of the Slaves carries the Plain-Looking Key.

Head back through the small room, then back to the dining room. This time, take the first right out of the dining room heading North. At the 4 way split, go left heading north. Two Liches guard a door. When you enter, you'll see a few corpses hanging from the wall and a locked door. Use the Plain-Looking Key on the door (resistance 100) and kill the Banderling Blade inside. It carries a Rusty Key.

Head back to the 4 way split and go east. You'll be in a big long room with prison cells on either side. At the first major intersection make a right heading south. Use the Rusty Key on the 2nd locked cell door and kill the 2 Silver Rats inside. One of the Rats carries an Antique Key.

Return to the intersection and head east again past the Banderling standing next to a chest. Take the South passage until you reach the locked gated door (resistance 142). Use the Antique Key to open the door, then head down a series of very steep ramps until you reach the caverns.

At the first split make a left heading NW. You'll enter a big open room with a Granite Golem and a portal to North Glenden Prison. A chest behind the bench holds some newbie loot. Kill the Golem and exit the room via the first passage on the right, heading east. Go straight at the 3 way intersection and keep heading east. You'll head up another very steep ramp. A large open room is at the top with a chest (resistance 78) and 2 Banderling Blades.

Take the east passage from this room and you'll eventually start heading down. At the bottom go North at the split and you'll find a small room containing a Banderling Blade. Kill the Blade for your Platemail Hauberk. The Banderling Blade also carries Fire Arrows, some random loot and an Oddly-Shaped Key. The key opens the chest in the large open room at the top.

Note: The dungeon also contains an Alloy Tool for the Undead Mechanic quest. It can be found in the other passage past the Granite Golem/Prison portal area.
