## Description

```
*"While exploring the mountain, you come across a relatively safe way to get at its higher reaches. You judge that with this route you'll be able to get about two thirds of the way up the mountain. With your newfound discovery fresh in your mind, you return to camp."*

```

The High Mountain area is discovered by exploring the Mountain. This area offers the most difficult enemies out of the four mountainous areas and also provides the player with several new Places to discover. The player can discover the parts for the [name] Goblin weapon while exploring this area.

Asking Michiko about the High Mountains will foreshadow some of the possible encounters for this area:

```
*“Well for one the minotaurs don’t tread there, thank Marae for that. This said the harpies who nest up there are not really that fond of strangers and the basilisks that constantly steal their eggs only makes them more prone to attack anything that closes in on them. Aside from that, There’s an oni who apparently took residence up there, you also have good odds of finding what remains of the old temple of the divine that used to once be Mareth’s greatest holy site until the demons damaged it. If the demons do have a fortress it’s likely located somewhere up there.”*

*- Michiko*

## Non-Combat Encounters

### Lethice's Lair

While exploring the highest reaches of the Mountain, the player discovers the hidden entrance to the Stronghold dungeon. This occurs after the Champion has cleared the Demon Laboratory and discovered the map in the panic room desk.

### Temple of the Divines

While exploring the High Mountain, the player manages to reach the peak, where they find a partially destroyed temple and its guardian Sapphire.

```
*"As you wander the mountains, you eventually climb to the very top, something you never expected to do. Weirdly enough, sitting on a nearby peak is what appears to be a massive temple. You approach the intimidating doors of the building and open them wide. Instantly you’re taken aback by the sight in front of you. There are ancient bloodstains marking the stone floor and stained-glass windows depicting various deities adorning each wall. At the end of the building that obviously once was a holy site, sits one depicting Marae. Under each window is a somewhat damaged altar, the light outside shining faintly upon it."*

```

The Player can now visit the Temple of the Divines under Places.

### Chicken Harpy

```
*“Heya traveller, I noticed you were interested in my eggs here - they’re not for sale, but perhaps we can come to some sort of agreement?”*

```

If the player is carrying at least two Ovi Elixirs in their inventory while exploring the High Mountain, they have the chance of coming across the Chicken Harpy. She will offer the player a trade, whereby two of your Ovi Elixirs can be traded for a normal-sized egg of any colour, or three Ovi Elixirs for a large egg of any colour.

### Nekobake Inn

The player comes across a sketchy looking establishment high in the mountains that advertises hot springs, warm meals and well-made beds... What could possibly go wrong? After choosing to enter, the player has three options:

* 'Just passing by': The player safely leaves the building and returns to camp to live another day.
* Choosing 'Dinner' or 'Bath' causes the player to be forcibly transformed into a cat-morph as you enjoy your time staying at the Inn. After spending the night there, you safely return to camp in your fluffy new form.

### A Strange Encounter

After talking with Benoit, he mentions the existence of Cockatrice that live in the highest reaches of the mountain. After this conversation, you can encounter Cockatrice while exploring this area.
