Ruined Halfling Complex - Revision history

Vyn: Some copy edits. Fixed conflicting info Z's about defense. IIRC his physical save is much lower than defense. Will have to check this later.

 The boss is [[Subject Z]], who appears in a predefined room in the southern part of the fourth level. He is accompanied by a [[Yeek Wayist]], and the player's arrival triggers a fight between them. Once you defeat Subject Z, several outcomes are possible depending on your race:
-*If you are a Yeek, you may speak to the Wayist and unlock [[Mindslayer]]s.
+* If you are a [[Yeek]], you may speak to the Wayist and unlock [[Mindslayer]]s.
-*If you are a Halfling, the Wayist will become hostile and attack you.
+* If you are a [[Halfling]], the Wayist will become hostile and attack you.
-*If you are an [[Undead]] race, the Wayist will be hostile to you until you wear your [[Cloak of Deception]].
+* If you are an [[Undead]] race, the Wayist will be hostile to you until you wear your [[Cloak of Deception]].
-*If you are not a Yeek or Halfling, you may speak to the Wayist to receive +15 [[saves|mental save]], and +10% confusion immunity. The first time you do this, you will also [[unlock]] [[Yeek]]s.

-Subject Z initially targets the Wayist, and can kill him in melee within a couple of rounds.  Keeping the Wayist alive is quite challenging because of this. Subject Z has many [[Shadowblade]] talents and a very good [[Defense]]. His physical defense is low however, so physical talents with knockback effects can help separate him from the Wayist and buy valuable time.

-One strategy for defeating Subject Z, which some may consider an abuse of game mechanics, is to use the [[Rod of Recall]] as soon as you arrive on this level.  This sets Subject Z's level to approximately yours.  Return after you've gained a bunch of levels, and he'll still be low-level.

 At the eastern end of the room in which one finds Subject Z, there is a "Long tunnel to the island of Rel" that leads to the [[Yeek]] starting area. This path is only open to Yeek character and cannot otherwise be entered.
-It's possible to find [[Director Hompalan]] on level 3, but only if the [[Old Conclave Vault]] was chosen to appear this game. In each game, only one out of [[Dogroth Caldera]], the [[Sludgenest]], the Old Conclave Vault, and (if [[Forbidden Cults]] is enabled) the [[Scourged Pits]] will appear. This is chosen randomly, unless you are a [[Shalore]] and have not yet [[Unlockables|unlocked]] [[Ogre]]s, in which case this zone will always be chosen. After defeating him, you can pick up a note revealing the location of the Old Conclave Vault.
