Sochen Palace is an ancient palace overrun with undead, bats, imps, and other dangerous creatures. The only royalty currently residing within the temple are a family of Mandragoras. These Mandragoras have caused problems for hunters in the Archadian wilderness. Several ancient and powerful creatures are locked away in the depths of the cave palace. The party is on their way to Archades on foot to avoid detection and must travel through Sochen Cave Palace to reach Archades. The door is locked, unless the player talks to the Archadian Wayfarer in the Tchita Uplands.
