Abandoned Keep | Pathfinder Kingmaker Wiki

[MAP]

Notes & Tips

Your starting area in Abandoned Keep looks similar to Other World, and just like Other World, the giant followers here have traps. Disarm the traps and wipe out the spiders, you can head northeast, there is a +4 dagger named Edict.

Venture southwest, inside the buildings you will encounter some Redcaps, be careful they have the ability of invisibility so dont let them ambush your caster/healer. After you taken care of these redcaps, loot the area for a Torag's Pendant, a +3 Tower Shield and some other valuables. Keep venturing forth, you will end up in a room with lots of candles.  Interact with the candles by following the orders below:

• Top right
• Bottom middle
• Top Left
• Top Middle
• Bottom Left
• Bottom Right
• Top right
• Bottom middle
• Top Middle

Behind the secret door is a Fecrious Devourer. Prepare some restoration spells so you can counter it's level stealing attacks. Once you defeat it, loot the +4 Medium Armor and other valuables on it.

Back to the starting location, this time head north.  After climbing some stairs, you should spot [Perception 25] a secret door to the northwest. There are some GP and gems in the chamber behind this secret door.  

Head down south from the secret door, you will meet more Redcaps. Kill them, continue through some doors to the southwest, you will find a small library and 2 stone golems. There's a secret door between the golems but if you open it, the golems will animate and attack.

Behind the secret door is a study, it triggers a book event. Succeed in [Knowledge (Arcana) 25] check and you will learn a work to control golems, succeed  [Mobility 25] check will gives you some scrolls. 

Head northwest from the library, there's a lot of valuable equipment here. (The Paragon of Defenders, Bonemail) Just be careful of the Redcaps and traps.

Climb the stairs to a chamber with lots of Redcaps and an Iron Golem, if you found the word to control the Golems in the study, you can use it to activate the Iron Golem and help you wipe out the Redcaps.

Continue to the north, you will find Tristian and a Defaced Sister in a chamber. (If you did not complete the quest Hour of Rage, you will also meet the Guardian of Bloom here, you can ask her more about her intention, but also make the battle more difficult.  However, even if you caught Guardian of Bloom here, she will escape after you defeat her.)

After a short conversation with the Defaced Sister, the fight begins. Dont worry about Tristian, for he will recover after the fight even if he's knocked down. Focus on the Defaced Sister and Red caps, then take care of the stone golem.

After the fight you need to decide the fate of Tristian, loot the area and leave. (but dont let your guards down, theres some redcaps and traps on your way to the exit)

You will appear at Verdant Chamber after left the Abandoned Keep.
