City of Hollow Eyes (Varnhold's Lot)

This article is about the version in the Varnhold's Lot DLC. For the version in the main game, see City of Hollow Eyes.

City of Hollow Eyes
The Dunsward region is known for its ancient ruins. Thousands of years ago, these lands were ruled by mighty overlords who left numerous mementos behind. One such memento is the City of Hollow Eyes, a huge burial complex serving as a resting place for heroes long gone. The colossal building sits amid the expansive plains of Dunsward. Unfortunately, time has not been kind to this amazing structure — while the main entrance is yet intact, several parts of the building have caved in.

Notes

• In the first interaction with Centaur Patrol Leader you can pass Knowledge (World) DC 22 check (+67xp) and Lore (Religion) DC 16 check (+22xp) to unlock peaceful solution outcome. Or you can have Desna as your deity.
  • Peaceful solution awards 180xp and the Patrol Leader and a single Centaur Warrior will move to the Tomb entrance.
• In the second encounter at the Tomb Entrance you will meet Centaur Patrol Lieutenant, you can pass Intimidate DC 25 check for +360xp total and they will be gone or attack them.
• Helping the Injured Dragon gives +360xp, killing him however gives 540xp.
• Killing the Pale Yan gang gives +258xp total, but helping him gives +720xp. If the dragon is already dead/gone and you didn't attack the bandits then you get 540xp and they will go away.
• The trick to cheese the experience and still get all their items is to team up with Pale Yan and then make him die with aoe spells and then finish off the dragon.
