Navigate the Old Sycamore Caves (Mite Section) in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. This guide covers talking to Gatekeeper Quoggy, the Mite Sorting Room, and battling Giant Centipedes.
Walkthrough
- 1Fight through Mites to enter the caves. Head south at the first fork, then northeast at the next.
- 2Speak to Gatekeeper Quoggy and choose the dialogue options _“What lies ahead?”_ and _“How do I get to this broken passage?”_ to begin the quest Mandible Jewelry. This quest requires finding a giant bug's mandible to get a lever for a treasure bridge.
- 3If Mites are hostile, Gatekeeper Quoggy will also be hostile. Killing her yields a Masterwork Sickle and a Bridge Hoist Part.
- 4Backtrack southwest, then southeast to the Mite Sorting Room.
- 5Defeat the Mites, including the Mite Priest who uses Hold Person and Channel Negative Energy.
- 6Pass a [Perception 12] check to loot a crate for trinkets and a Scroll of Shield of Faith.
- 7Clear out Giant Centipedes in the western and northern parts of the room. Loot another crate for baubles and a Scroll of Shocking Grasp.
- 8Search rocks for An Ancient Rostlandic Coin.
- 9From the junk-filled cavern, take the northeast passage to a cavern with Giant Centipedes. Slay four, then continue northeast to slay another four, and descend east to slay a final group of four.
- 10In the small chamber after defeating the twelve Giant Centipedes, pass a [Perception 12] check to loot a crate for a Potion of Vanish and a Scroll of Shocking Grasp. This chamber has an area transition to the Old Sycamore Depths.
- 11Backtrack to the chamber east of the junk room and head north to another large chamber.
- 12If you go northwest, you'll reach Gatekeeper Quoggy's chamber. You can fight a hostile Giant Centipede there.
- 13If you go northeast, you'll find a group of Mites and a Mite Priest. Kill them and their Giant Centipede pet. Loot a sack for goodies.
- 14Continue down a large tunnel to the southeast.
Tips
- Mite Priests are dangerous due to Hold Person (which paralyzes targets, especially effective against warriors with weak Will Saves) and Channel Negative Energy (dealing guaranteed damage to all living foes). Prioritize eliminating enemy priests.
- If you're using divine casters, consider using Hold Person yourself.
- If Mites are hostile, Gatekeeper Quoggy will also be hostile.
- Mandible Jewelry quest completion (if initiated and completed)
- Loot from defeated enemies and containers, including: Masterwork Sickle, Bridge Hoist Part, Scroll of Shield of Faith, Scroll of Shocking Grasp, An Ancient Rostlandic Coin, Potion of Vanish.
