Is there anything special to know about hunting Grave Worms or entering/leaving Oshu'ehhrsk Manor?

Thanks!

The manor is locked with a puzzle, you can't walk straight in. I've heard there's an alternate route involving solving the puzzle, but I'm only aware of being able to go through Germish to get into the manor, and germish are going to 1-shot you hard if you're hunting worms.

I'd recommend finding an alternate critter at those ranks unless you really enjoy dieing to germish.

Looking at cleaning up the Oshu'ehhrsk Manor is somewhere on my list. It's an awesome little place full of unique mechanics and joy, but it's also getting woefully dated.

That's great to hear, especially because I agree with you.

i've always liked that area, all the little hidden niches are fun to discover. <although i've only fully explored it with my thief and my necro- and ran thru it REALLY fast with my tf mm> so looking forward to interesting things. Rigbys things are always curious to explore, right before they kill you... :-)

I think the Grave Worms are on the Manor Grounds and separate from the big critters:

Do the Germish filter down to the worm area?

They're in separate areas but you need to do some roundtime intensive things in Germish to get there.

Ah, I see... the worms are in the one-way out exit.

That depends on what you mean. Worms are in the manor grounds. You cannot get to the grounds (where worms are) without going through the Germish area, and doing RT intensive (10-30 second?) actions, which may or may not grant you access each time. If one spawns or walks into your room when you are in RT, you're going to die, with a 90% likelyhood.

It's been a long time since I was there, but didn't there used to be a tree you could climb to get in and out over the wall? Or has that been made unclimbable?

LOL I remember going in through the basement and practicing climbing up that fireplace.

That's how you leave, not enter.

Barring some freeze or accident, it is perfectly feasible to enter the Grave Worms and avoid the Germishdin. Without giving too much away, one entrance is safe even while in RT.

The manor- oh I hate the puzzle to get into the manor. Since I don't script, I had to either look at my notes or remember it each time.

It is a great place though- anyone who hasn't hunted there should do so at some point.

One of my favorite memories is being trapped down in Germishdin when I didn't have the climbing to get out- or know how to get out through the Gave worms- I eventually worked it out all on my own and enjoyed the terror of being trapped down there immensely.
