Cazador's Palace can be accessed via the Central Watch Tower (X:-53, Y:-64), near the [[Lower City]] Central Wall [[Ancient Sigil Circle|Waypoint]], by climbing up the stairs. A number of charmed guards try to stop the party, but can be persuaded or intimidated into standing down. Alternatively, casting {{SAI|Calm Emotions}} on the guards will cancel the charm effect and cause them to leave the area. Follow the way north to reach the door to Cazador's Palace. Once inside, the palace will be surprisingly empty of vampires, but holds a conspicuously large ballroom door that is locked.

The way forward is through the ballroom. Two things are needed to enter: a {{SmRarityItem|Szarr Family Ring}} and a passphrase in the Kozakuran language.

[[Vilhelm]] can be persuaded or deceived into revealing that Godey has the signet ring that can unlock the door. Godey is in the kennels in the lower floor. Godey is waiting in ambush (X:-1289, Y:982), but a perception check reveals him and he can be called out. If Astarion is in the party, Godey asks what he has brought him:

A note upstairs on the Chamberlain's desk (X:-1243, Y:976) suggests that one of the spawn has misplaced the dictionary used to decipher the passphrases.

The {{SmRarityItem|Kozakuran Dictionary}} can be found on the lower floor in the guest room, which is brimming with deadly necrotic magic (X:-1299, Y:967). Here, the the [[Cursed (Condition Type)|cursed]] corpse of [[Victoria]] afflicts {{Condition inline|Vitality Drain}} ({{DamageText|4d6+4|Necrotic}} per turn) upon anyone entering, Casting {{SAI|Remove Curse}} on Victoria's body will end her {{Condition inline|Sapping Curse}} and make the room safe. Alternate solutions include use of {{SmRarityItem|Elixir of Necrotic Resistance}} or [[Jump]]/[[Flight (Condition)|Flight]] to cross the hazard. The dictionary is in a mahogany wardrobe to the west of the bed. Reading the book gives the phrase to enter the ballroom.
