The spots to place the listening devices are marked with small blue sparkles. Placing the listening devices does NOT drop your disguise. If you for some reason lose the disguise and need to use Stealth or Invisibility, placing the listening device WILL drop Stealth or Invisibility.
Picking up purple glowing question marks in the zone WILL drop the disguise you put on when you entered the zone (you can pick up the same shinies in the other 2 versions of the zone too).
Movable boards appear in various locations throughout the zone that will allow you to walk or jump shorter distances across wide chasms. If a location seems unreachable, look for a blue, glowing, movable board and place it to make the jump shorter. Use mouse wheel to spin board and keep fat end on rock side.
Using Spring-Loaded Gnomish Stilts will let you jump far enough to ignore the need for the movable board in this particular mission. It may cause some odd pet or merc pathing issues though when you jump the long chasms.
