Also be careful of using any area-of-effect spell or weapon (and even guard items can kill them over time). Even if you don't want the chest, killing more than 5 Silver Flame agents fails the quest, so it is advised that no pets or monsters be summoned, and that hirelings are turned to "passive" in these areas, since they will attack any enemy they see, including Silver Flame. Silver Flame agents are only encountered in the cells (but not the central cell-halls), and at the 3 fights against Maldetto and his "projections". Flesh to Stone is great crowd control against the Silver Flame agents, as they are immune to mind affecting spells – Petrify Runestones would also work. If you avoid killing any of the Silver Flame agents, you can speak to the captain at the end (by that shrine) to get an extra chest. You will face some incorporeal creatures, so ghost touch helps, and lots of skeletons, so bring your bludgeon weapons, as appropriate. Skeletal wizards use Ray of Enfeeblement, Lightning Bolt and Firewall, so electric and fire resist, and (lesser) Restoration potions/spells are helpful.
