Locate artifacts, which appear as glowing clickies in the water, each protected by a Tavalan archeologist.
Note: Tracking ability or a scroll of tracking is invaluable.
Note: The artifact at ( 880, 2, 168 ) Copy/waypoint 880, 2, 168 respawned nearly instantly over and over. This is probably a bug.
Note: Another bug is that if you take the 8th artifact before the 8th mob is dead combat will continue against an invisible enemy until you can outrun the aggro or die.

Santii will attack after you speak to her.
This is designed as a group encounter. Beware of knockbacks and mezzes!
I'd say the mana drain is by far the worse part of this encounter. Prepare for it. It's called clinging mist.
Loot the chest to get your cloak. If you forget, you'll have to kill Santii again.
