I've never actually managed to run or be in a campaign long enough to reach levels high enough to play a module this tough. Designed for character levels 12-15 it is impossible to imagine the agony of actually running this set as it is in Bluetspur, the most hellish and alienating of Ravenloft demiplanes. It is chock full of illithids, broken ones, monstrous experiments, perpetual lightning storms and a persistent drone at the edge of hearing. It needs a little bit of work for clarity - I liked Charles Phips' idea of a cursed puzzle box that transports adventurers to the realm - but it is worth every scrap of effort. The dungeon and the Darklord are perfection.
