| - The Shards of Orr is one of the hardest dungeons in EotN. The easiest way to get through to Gadd's Encampment is to bring Smiting Prayers skills, Dervishes with Avatar of Balthazar, and/or equip your weapon users with Heart of Holy Flame. Otherwise, you could try to simply run through avoiding the mobs. Near the last section of the dungeon are 3 mobs which are fairly hard to kill; flag your heroes and henchmen to create a distraction while you run through to the gate of the encampment. It is also possible to travel from Eye of the North through Ice Cliff Chasms, Battledepths, Heart of the Shiverpeaks (Level 1), a tiny bit of Bogroot Growths (Level 1), and Sparkfly Swamp to get to Gadd's Encampment, bypassing Shards of Orr to complete that part of the quest. After finding Gadd and Livia, you must kill three Inscribed Ettins, all of which count as bosses for the area. This is difficult due to the number of prowling dinosaurs and their wide variety of attacks, especially approaching the third ettin. For this section neither Gadd nor Livia are in your party or allies thereof, so they will not be attacked but will not help with fights. After all three Ettins have been killed, return to the entrance to the Bloodstone Caves.
