- Tripwire - at the entrance to the mist-filled chamber.
- Glyph of Paralysis traps (3) - are located around the ritual site; they can be disarmed by a stealthed rogue either before initiating combat or after combat concludes. Disarming the traps before commencing combat is recommended as the revenant will almost always pull party members into them.
