The entrance to Koal Cave

Koal Cave is a grotto just outside of Gnisis. Sacred to the Temple, Koal Cave is the site of Vivec's battle with Ruddy Man, and one of the stations on the Pilgrimages of the Seven Graces. The quickest way to get there is to head south from Gnisis across the Samsi, about where Hentus can be found bathing, and look for a south-facing cave entrance directly underneath a natural arch.

The Shrine of Valor

The shrine is immediately inside the entrance. You will need to have at least one dreugh wax in your inventory to complete the pilgrimage. You can buy it in the Temple in Gnisis, or just find and kill a dreugh inside the cave. Activate the shrine to trade a wax for the blessing of Fortify Unarmored, Light Armor, Medium Armor, Heavy Armor 10 pts for 48 min.

Depending on your level and desire, one can "re-create" that battle, since the place is littered with leveled water creatures. If you kill the dreugh warlord in the cave, you'll also receive an enchanted dreugh cuirass for each dreugh wax you donate. (Note: The version available on GoG as of February 2023 (GotY) does not give more than one Cuirass, thus fixing a bug.) There are a number of kollops for pearl divers, and three dead adventurers, including one in the reeds near the entrance.
