The Sunken City

[Kal]

Terrible design, died in a fight, respawn naked, breathing potions still on corpse. Cant get to my stuff without drowning ....Will NEVER go there again! Who ever designed that one sucks!

[VALLANCE]

That's what happens anywhere on the map tbf

[Kal]

Nowhere else on the map requires you to go underwater to retrieve your body

Well, you don't strictly need breathing potions in that dungeon, although if you're a low agility and low vitality build you will need max health to tank the drowning damage. With 15+ agility you should be able to just barely sprint-swim the shortest route from above without taking damage. With 0 agility, 0 vitalty and only half health from dying, yeah, you won't make it.

In any case, it's good policy while you're still learning the game to build a small hut with spare supplies at your bedroll location. There are several other dungeons where extreme temperatures or locked doors will prevent you from getting back to your body should you die, so you'll need a backup plan.

(Or just learn trashy sorcery and remove all the challenge from this "survival" game.)

The Sunken City is for hardcore masochists only. I cheesed my way through, touched the tablets to get the recipes, and escaped by the skin of my teeth. The fact that the last room isn't just a "boss rush" but has every boss from the rest of the dungeon in the same room with the final boss, wtf? was a hard nope for me.

1. Go for a certain npc around Bucaneers bay (hint: Upper ledge with an animal taming pen). kill him to loot an underwater breathing mask.
That'll help a lot along with those breathing potions.
2. Don't expect any easy fight.

Note: Down in that dungeon, there is a recipe for "Dagon's Breath".
Last time I used it I didn't run short of needing air to breathe until I went back into the water. Then use it again. It seems to provide an extended time to stay underwater without running out of breath.

I died on a fight with a women, had lost my follower on the last fight with all the bosses. Had her down to 1/4 health. I kept knocking her to the ground in the beginning. Thought it was going to be an easy fight, then she came back with a vengeance and destroyed me.

From the sound of it, you had to face off with the ritual keeper to free Dagon's Emissary.

Ya, the big fish head thing was watching

Yeah, that big fish up there is a captive Emissary of Dagon.
Those fools thought to capture Dagon himself.
I had that woman mixed up with Razma of Shem who's in a different dungeon instance in the same city. But that one who got you is the one you have to kill to free the emissary.
The good news to that is once she's dead, that should open two portals to leave. One sets you out along the river and the other takes you back out to near where you entered the dungeon via that boat.

Why did you not put a bag and chest outside with some breathing potions in it?

[Raithe]

That was a rather easy dungeon.

[Kal]

No clue as to what "bag" your are referring to.

I think that's referring to a bedroll so you can respawn there, with some potions.

Are all the dungeons a pain in the butt like this one? If so, I wont bother.
