Good to know
- Some of its attacks, marked with a red skull, cannot be blocked.
- Deep Down comes from Gavril at his farm in Laslea Glen and opens after All Good Things.
- It stands in a long hall past the round chamber with the sarcophagus, blocking the way back to the surface.
- Its glowing twin-sword attack is unblockable, so dodge when the blades light up.
- Loot the Undead Warrior's sword after you win.
- The sarcophagus before the fight holds the Mireleaf Bracers.
Related foes
Ancient undead guard the old ruins of the valley. The Forgotten Guardian is a tougher foe of the same kind.
How to beat it
Equip your strongest armour and weapon first. Its guard is hard to break, so wait for perfect blocks to open it up. Hit once, then go straight back to defending. Watch the swords: a glow means the unblockable twin strike is coming.
Rewards
Beating it clears the exit from the ruin and drops the Undead Warrior's sword. Deep Down itself pays 250 XP and 25 denarii when you report back to Gavril.
