I spent a good amount of time looking for the prison and the treasure room, with no luck. Can anyone spread a little light on this topic?

OK it took a while but I figured out how to get into the Prison of Nightmares. The idea of this level is cool, the invisible walls and the fact that the layout changes on occasion is neat. I will not spoil the fun of the level by giving everything away but I have to saw the loot needs to be a little better than what is there for the trouble. Having said that I did find one item worth stealing the “Assassin’s Edge”, it is a repeating crossbow that is assassin honed.

To get to the prison you have to find a “mysterious tunnel” under one of the bed rolls that leads to the area outside the walls on the second level. I was only able to find one in the cells on the second level. Once you are outside the walls you will need to get hit by the jailer that is how you “enter” the prison. Once you’re in the prison you have to find the treasure room, unlock a chest, and steal an item you want. Then you have to find the way out of the prison without getting hit by one of the jailers. The exit will bring you outside the walls on the first level, on the west side you will then have to get out of the dungeon, including the crypt outside to remove the enchantment. Another little hint you have to be visible when you are outside the dungeon for the enchantment to be removed from the item.

OK... some WRONG feedback (that just sounds bad... there must be a better phrasing). I have found the prison, and have managed to nab some items, including an assassin-honed. The problem? When I get them out, they revert to standard items... apparently whatever takes the "hot" spell off of them is also stripping other things. In addition, I am currently in the prison and the walls keep redrawing the same config. This would, I suppose, be a good thing in some circumstances... just memorize the path out. unfortunately, the sparkle that sends you back to the center is blocking the only path to the way out... leaving me stuck. Ah well.

Add that to my bug report thread so they can look into it. Thats why TC is for . :)

I think I did, but if not, feel free. I know that is the reason for TC, and I would rather find it here than on my shard. I'm just not one of the folks who delights in finding the bug... but I am happy to help.

i just got a few items out of the prison and they kept the mods. none had the assassin honed mod on them though, perhaps the bug affects that mod?

The Prison of Nightmares is pretty fun so far, with the update of the invisible wall/paths it can be tough to get through it, although the Jailors don't always send you back to the cell, seems to have a decent chance, but it's not 100% of the time.

I've taken a few trips (all the items in each chest) of items out over the course of about 2 hours or so,
none of the items lost any properties, except the "hot enchant", it seems to be working as intended, atleast for me.

The "Assassin Honed" property has no item weight and does not count as a mod towards imbuing. (hopefully it remains like that, since this property Only spawns on items from Wrong (unless runic tools have the ability to add it?) )
0/5 properties
0/450 item weight
These items are also renamed to " Assassin's Edge " regardless of the weapon type, the base stats of the normal version of the weapon stay the same.

I have not tested the damage bonus you receive with this property.

ya hopefully assassin honed stays 0 weight/0 slot like the Lava infused weapons. Ive been getting more items out as well and none have lost any mods other than the Hot tag. Wonder if the person having trouble took the items out through the gate or if they help stuck optioned out?
