Dark Sun: Shattered Lands Walkthrough
37. Wyrm Belly
Several options open up in this and adjoining areas, so I will not describe them all. I will only describe the most profitable route in terms of XP and items, with very few notable options along the way. While the ultimate slaughter always remains an option, attacking the magera will lock you out of many of the rewards of these regions, as it will anger the spirit of Tanelyv, their guardian. Apart from the magera, Tanelyv and other undead will also attack you if you attack them.
There are lots of chests and bags (X) around the map, but none of them have anything of note. The magera here have nothing interesting to say, so make your way to the Blind One at 2. Inquire about what is going on and learn about the enslavement and sacrifices of the magera. Apparently Balkazar has turned some magera into slave leaders, and we must first convince them to stop torturing their brethren. Agree to talk to the leaders.
All the magera around 3 (including in the adjoining room) are the slave leaders. You can kill these magera without any dire consequences, but I find it more satisfying to threaten them. If this is your choice too, open the dialogue by saying you are Balkazar’s allies (this particular option will make a later event easier), then insist that he is expecting us. Finally, say that they will be fed to the Babau for their insolence.
Take the southern exit at 4 to reach the Wyrm Temple.
