Zone Information
The Ruined Halfling Complex is an optional zone in the central region of Maj'Eyal, at the head of the river west of Zigur.
The first level has an open layout with hollow buildings. The other levels have a dungeon layout, with darkened corridors connecting lit(?) rooms. All levels are inhabited by medium-strength undead (primarily skeletons and ghouls).
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. If you can defeat Subject Z and keep the Wayist alive, and are not a halfling, then you can speak to the Wayist to unlock Yeeks and receive a bonus to your mental saves. Note: Subject Z initially targets the Wayist, and can kill him in very few rounds. Keeping the Wayist alive is quite challenging because of this. Subject Z has many Shadowblade talents and a very good Defense.
If you are a Yeek, and defeat Subject Z, and talk to the Wayist, you can unlock Mindslayers. (One strategy for doing this, 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.)
