Ramazith's Tower
Reached through a magical portal on the upper floor of Sorcerous Sundries, this ancient structure serves as the personal domain of the ambitious wizard Lorroakan. Visitors resolve the fate of Dame Aylin by confronting or aiding the wizard, while also bypassing complex arcane barriers on lower tiers to claim prized wizard relics. Finishing this conflict can also determine Rolan's ultimate allegiance and destiny for the final battle.

The short version
What matters
- •Markoheshkir on the bottom tier is one of the strongest caster staves in the game, granting Arcane Battery and Kereska's Favour.
- •Siding with Dame Aylin secures both her and Rolan (granting Rolan's Firestorm) as Gather Your Allies assets for the endgame.
- •The Robe of the Weave on the bottom floor gives +2 AC, +1 to spell attack rolls and save DC, and heals upon succeeding spell saves.
Common mistakes
- •Pushing Lorroakan off his high perch into the abyss or outer ledges, forfeiting the Shelter of Athkatla robe and Despair of Athkatla staff.
- •Failing the DC 20 Arcana checks on the bottom-floor levers without inspiration or buffs, which triggers Disintegrate from the statues and permanently locks that character out from attempting that lever again.
- •Interacting with the "Vaults" Weave Button, which teleports only the interacting character into the Sorcerous Vault below.
What you can skip
- •The "Artillery" Weave Button out on the middle-floor balcony, as it merely fires a fireball from the top of the tower.
- •The "Security" and "Cleanup" Weave Buttons on the middle floor, which only trigger defensive turrets and toxic gas vents.
Walkthrough
The area in the order you play it. Tick things off as you go: they tick off in the checklists below too.

1
Reach Lorroakan's Study
Step through the far-left blue portal on the upper floor of Sorcerous Sundries to arrive inside the summit of Ramazith's Tower. Lorroakan stands before his runic binding circle waiting to interrogate you about the Nightsong's whereabouts. If Dame Aylin survived Act 2, you can refuse him to provoke an immediate duel or depart to summon her for a direct reckoning, whereas confessing she died in the Shadow-Cursed Lands leaves him bitter but peaceful.
Tip: Cast long-rest buffs before entering the portal, as Ramazith's Tower completely disables camp visits and resting.
Watch out: Stepping onto the floating tables while Lorroakan is alive counts as trespassing and turns him hostile before you conclude dialogue.

2
Confront the Archmage
When Dame Aylin arrives or you choose defiance, battle breaks out against Lorroakan, his four elemental Myrmidons, and an Animated Armour. If you rescued Rolan across both previous acts, he betrays Lorroakan to duel alongside you, whereas an unsaved Rolan fights as the apprentice at his master's side. Focus down the elemental Myrmidons first to strip Lorroakan of his protective siphons, or prepare Counterspell to nullify his brutal Elemental Retort reaction whenever he takes damage.
Key fight: LorroakanTip: Upcasting Counterspell to 4th or 5th level completely negates Lorroakan's Elemental Retort reaction attacks.
Watch out: Do not blast Lorroakan off the edge into the chasm or onto outer ledges with Repelling Blast or Telekinesis, or you will lose Despair of Athkatla and Shelter of Athkatla on his unlootable corpse.

Descend the Floating Furniture
Head to the northeastern ledge of the main study (X: 4980, Y: 705) and jump down the magically suspended floating desks and tables to reach the middle level. Cast See Invisibility, drink an elixir, or rely on Volo's Ersatz Eye to reveal the hidden brass plaques resting in front of the Weave Buttons scattered around this floor. Loot the gilded chests around this gallery, and smash through the wooden barricade at X: 4962, Y: 691 to reach the outer balcony.
Tip: Feather Fall or Fly makes descending the suspended furniture safe and effortless for low-Strength party members.
Watch out: Do not press the "Vaults" button at X: 4979, Y: 693 unless you want that single pusher exiled permanently down into the Sorcerous Vault without a way back up.
-
4
Unlock the Arcane Vault
Locate the Weave Button labeled "Below" at X: 4962, Y: 718 on the middle floor and interact with it to teleport your entire party down through the impassable barrier to the lowest tier. Activate See Invisibility or cast Faerie Fire/Create Water around the twin central pedestals to reveal an invisible lever beside each Globe of Invulnerability. Have your highest-Arcana character buff with Fox's Cunning and Guidance to pass the DC 20 Arcana check on each lever to deactivate the shields protecting Markoheshkir and the Robe of the Weave.
Tip: Faerie Fire or splashing water outlines the invisible lever hitboxes if you lack See Invisibility.
Watch out: Failing an Arcana check triggers a 6th-level Disintegrate trap on the user and permanently locks that character out of re-attempting that lever.

5
Plunder the Lower Cache and Return
Disarm the booby-trapped display case on this lower level with a DC 15 Sleight of Hand check to claim High Security Vault nº8 Key, then loot the neighbouring Gilded Chest for the Sorcerous Sundries Mystery Door Key. Gather the Scroll of Circle of Death from the remaining cabinet on the opposite walkway before wrapping up your collection. When you are finished, interact with the Weave Button labeled "Above" on this level to teleport back to the middle floor, then use the portals to return to the city.
Tip: The High Security Vault nº1 Key opens a safe full of valuable loot in the lower vaults of the Counting House.
Watch out: Failing to disarm the display case detonates a trap that damages nearby party members and destroys breakable surface wares.

Key fights
Enemies: Lorroakan, Air Myrmidon, Earth Myrmidon, Fire Myrmidon, Water Myrmidon (and potentially Rolan if hostile)
Threats: Lorroakan casts high-level evocation spells and has Elemental Retort / Elemental Siphon (retaliating against attackers with massive elemental damage scaling with living myrmidons), while the myrmidons inflict elemental AOEs, stuns, and conditions
Weaknesses and resistances: Lorroakan has a low physical armor class (AC 12) and low hit points but gains elemental damage immunities while linked to his myrmidons; vulnerable to Silence, Counterspell, and crowd control
Tactics: Disperse immediately away from the entry portal to avoid grouped elemental AOEs, use Counterspell, Silence, or hard crowd control (like Hold Person or Tasha's Hideous Laughter) on Lorroakan to disable his casting and Elemental Retort, prioritize taking down the myrmidons to strip his siphon buffs, or push him off the upper walkways
Rewards: Shelter of Athkatla robe, Despair of Athkatla quarterstaff, scroll of Artistry of War/spells, access to the lower tower levels (containing the Robe of the Weave and Markoheshkir), and the Nightsong/Rolan as allies for "Gather Your Allies"
Enemies
Siphons elemental resistances from nearby myrmidons and unleashes a punishing Elemental Retort reaction against incoming attacks.
Lorroakan minion that supplies him with lightning power.
Lorroakan minion that provides Lorroakan with physical defense enhancements.
Lorroakan minion that supplies him with fiery retort energy.
Lorroakan minion that supplies him with cold-based elemental retort power.
Tips
- Lorroakan's lethal Elemental Retort relies on reactions, so incapacitating him with spells like Hold Person or inflicting Prone disables his retaliation entirely.
