How/When to do Graveyard?

[MikkoMMM]

What ways are there to avoid the curses from the coffins? Can I perhaps detect if there are monsters in the coffins using some spell?

How bad is it to have the curse? It automatically gives you the cursed touch talent that has the description "Your cursed touch permeates everything around you. Any non-unique equipment you find has a %d%% chance of becoming cursed. Cursed objects gain 1 extra weight and receive a harmful effect. There is a %d%% chance of a major effect." Is it something that will absolutely ruin your game?

You can trigger the curse with a controlled ally (say, your golem), in which case they get it instead, but other than that the only way to avoid the curse (that doesn't involve blatant bug abuse) is to not open the coffins (which is probably suicide, ha.). The paradox mage timeline-buggery talents might be able to check, though. Not sure how that'd work.

Check this for discussion on that. Personally, I barely even notice it.

Something to consider... with the curse it's harder to find plain amulets, rings, and other things you might want to enchant. I'm guessing curses on "white" items messes them up for those purposes.
Might want to find the white stuff you want first?

I think they still work. I believe the code just checks whether they are unique or ego'ed; the curses don't really count as egos.

Ah, that's good to know. I've been holding off on trying that amulet quest because I didn't have a high level plain amulet, but I think I do have one that only has a curse. Thanks!

I've killed the boss with necro unlocked before. Nothing happens (some loot was dropped), no reaction from LH alchemist. Should have been a journal entry here, or reward from alchemist?

The quest should be a bit more fleshed out in the next release.

Journal entry, probably. I think the quest is supposed to update/complete, at least.

The 'reward' for that quest is the experience/loot from killing th'necro/classed undead and the fateful aura tree (Read: Free generic and cat point, if perhaps not the most desirable ones).
