The Cursed Crypt

From DDO Compendium


Maldetto's powers focus on mind control and destroying his enemies will. Given time, he can break through even the strongest of minds.

Overview

Now that you have taken care of the four mummy guardians protected the seal on The Cursed Crypt, it is open. The Silver Flame has already assaulted the crypt, and it was an abject failure, leaving some captured, some entralled by Maldetto's mind control.
