Tips before you go:
- Utilize the Hrimbarg/Gloin's Camp swift travel and Hrimbarg/Rivendell swift travel.
- Entry through the Black Crack is easiest.
- Be careful about running past the little goblin gangs because they can stun you which might be very bad.
- There is a way to drop from the top of Slave Pens to Aeglas' cell at the bottom, only having to fight the couple goblins in front of Aeglas' cell.
- You can go through loading spots even when in combat. This means if you run past everything you will be safe as long as you can make it to one of the loading spots. It's quite a time-saver!
- When dropping through the big holes where wargs are waiting below, it is wise to leave one person up top to use ranged attacks and heals to aggro the wargs. This will riddle those wargs so they can be killed off one by one. If you don't want to kill the wargs, riddle them all and then all but one can jump down, wait until their legs are not broken, and then get the wargs to chase them out of the place. Then the one person up top can drop down and follow, crippled but not getting hit.
- There is a way to drop from the top of Thundergrot to an unreachable ledge at the bottom.
- Everything in Thundergrot respawns very quickly, so be careful.
- There is a stairway near the Zagh button. You can jump from that stair to an unreachable ledge for safety.
- If you trigger the Great Goblin to speak with Bhoghad, the Great Goblin will kill Bhoghad, making it so you cannot. For this reason I suggest when you go into the Great Goblin's Den you should kill your way up the right path and as you get close enough to see Bhoghad, watch him. If you get too close to him he will start moving, and if he does immediately attack him.
