How to Enter the Grayshaft City

At the entrance of the Grayshaft city, you will be asked to give 200 gold coins. If you want, you can give the gold coins to the soldiers, or you can just ignore them. However, if you don’t give them the gold coins, they will get furious and will try to kill you. When they attack you, defend them or run towards the main gate and enter the city. By doing this, you can enter the city without spending any gold coins.
Convince Prax to meet Augustus

Once inside, go to the main entrance area to find Prax sitting between two stone columns, drinking alone. Convince him to meet Augustus. Pay him gold or use Insight level 10 to convince him.
