Quest Name: Level 55 Side Quests Level: 55+ Class: All/All NPC: varies, see below Location: varies, see below
Quest NPC: Arios the Battered
Location: see below
In order to be flagged to start this quest, you need to kill or be within the area of Grundle as he is dying. After he has died, do not log off, as you may lose the flag (rumour only). Try and ensure you are in LoS when he dies, and not too far away, not sure how big the flag is.
Grundle is located in Geomancer's Citadel, but can be reached from the Cyclop's Fortress zone by finding the tunnel under the river.
Run towards Highpass via the road from Darvar Manor. As you reach a dual outpost guarded by 2 skeletons, Arios the Battered will spawn. He will tell you to go to Box Canyon and seek out Pasha. If more than one of you are flagged by killing Grundle, all of you can speak to Arios, don't wait for him to despawn and then try and respawn him again.
Go to Pasha's chamber in Box Canyon (NE) (map) invised. There you will get a trigger informing you that Skahyir is right behind you! Ska is not difficult to solo if you can overcome his breath crit.
Return to Arios in Forkwatch. There he will give you a list of mobs to defeat in order to spawn Bloodletter. You must defeat the following mobs: Ealin The Mad (spawns near the entrance to Lord Chardith's lair in Takish Hiz), Rip Claw (in The Hunt, who spawns in the hills with the Ancient Manticores), and Crocosaraus (spawns on the island in the middle of Lake Noregard - you must kill tae ew hierophants to spawn him. Usually spawns inside the crocodile head rock formation). Return to Arios when you have defeated all the mobs, then head to IoD to defeat Bloodletter. When you get to IoD, go to your left. There you will find a Garmaund ritualist standing beside an alter. After you have spoken with him Bloodletter will spawn. If Bloodletter is already up, it's ok to kill him, it's the same loot. The quest spawned Bloodletter is harder than the normal one. It is stronger than the regular Bloodletter but can be killed with 4 people. Resists: AR FR LR. Have group hide behind a rock to avoid it's AoE. . Map of IoD.
⚠️ Note: it may not be the same loot, without the quest logged, the random spawn Bloodletter does not seem to drop the sword. Do NOT delete this sword, once you've looted it, for any reason or you can't complete your quest with Arios when he sends you to Grimm after you've done Quintashi's handmaiden and the Giant Skeleton. (TY gokukicks)
After you have defeated Bloodletter, return to Arios. He will send you to defeat 2 more mobs. Quintashi's Handmaiden in the Abysmal Sea (in the deep ravines), and the Giant Skeleton which roams about Elephant Graveyard.
Arios then sends you to Grimm Brellhand, the NPC quest giver for the level 47 quests to repair his sword. Bring 15,000 tunar to cover the costs. Keep this sword - you will need it to debuff the Anvil of Sarek during the Arios59 quest.
Return to Arios to collect your rewards.

Quest NPC: Prophet of Kumaj
Location: Kerra Isle (SE) on rune hill near big white arches/bones
⚠️ Note: This quest requires you to get a popup at the shrine. If you cannot get the popup, make sure the totem is in your inventory and not in your bank.
Speak with the Prophet of Kumaj in Kerra Isle SE. He will give you a totem (Totem of Kejan) and instruct you to bring it to a shrine located to the south. The Shrine can be found near the coast in Abysmal Sea (S) between the two fishing villages. It is a series of monoliths surrounded by dryads.
Once you have arrived at the shrine, you will recieve a pop-up instructing you to kill a renegade merman who has been killing Kerran fisherman. He can be found to the west of the shrine, swimming near one of the two Kerra fishing ports. Return to the shrine with the loot.
Back at the shrine, you will recieve another pop-up. This one will instruct you to kill the Clan Kobold Battlemaster. The Battlemaster is located in the Kobold cave in The Warrens (W) zone. He has a placeholder. When you enter the Kobold cave turn right. He is located in the first large room on the right. The placeholder is located at the back of the room in an alcove with barrels inside. It, as well as the Minion of Krrgar (whom you will also require for this quest) spawn about every 30-60 minutes (Note: Took me 4 hours to get both spawns). They also both spawn at about the same interval, so you may want to farm both of them at the same time. To find the Minion of Krrgar, head left when you enter the Kobold cave. When you have passed through the first few chambers, instead of following the path down to the King, head right. He can be found there. He cons blue to a 60 and has a nec pet. It is not suggested that you attempt to solo him. Return to the shrine when you have defeated the Battlemaster.
The shrine will now instruct you to seek out 3 Kappa Defiler staves and return those to the prophet. Kappa Defiler spawns about every two hours in the Basement of the Kappa Citadel in Sylhilthis' Dwell. To enter the basement, go into the citadel and enter first room on your right, there is a ramp going down. The Defiler spawns in the centre of the room. Only one spawns at a time, so you're looking at 6 hours to get 3 spawns. As it is a popular camp, you may have to ask the group camping there if they would mind allowing you to loot the staff. If you plan to solo the Defilers, you may want to bring along some assistance, as they are necs and are very difficult to solo.
Once you have returned to the prophet, he thanks you for the staves and sends you back to the shrine. It instructs you to seek out the remains of Kerran Shamen, which can be found on Pirate Graverobbers. The shrine wants 3 sets. The graverobbers can be found in SE Odus on the same islands as the ratmen. Head NE from Stone of Morthalis and check all of the small islands around the main ratmen fortress in Cape Dreg and on the island with the indigo pirate camp. Graverobbers only melee, so they are not difficult to solo.
Once you have returned to the prophet, he will instruct you to seek out the powerful nec named Othmet, and return with his loot. Othmet can be found throughout South Toxxulia, either in W or S. (I found him in NE near the mud river) He spawns frequently. Again, as he is a nec, you may want to bring along some assistance.
It is at this point, that the prophet sends you for the staff from the Minion of Krrgar. Hopefully you farmed him earlier, when the Battlemaster was needed, but if not, Krrgar is located in the Kobold cave in The Warrens (w). He has a place holder. To find him, head left when you enter the Kobold cave. When you have passed through the first few chambers, instead of following the path down to the king, turn right. He can be found there, in an alcove on the right. He cons blue to a 60 and has a nec pet. It is not suggested that you attempt to solo him. Can take 4-6 hours of killing the placeholder for him to spawn. When you have the staff return to the prophet.
After you have returned to the prophet, you will be instructed to seek out the same NPC you gave the Gargoyle statue to for the Kerra 53 (General Talya in Arcadin or Slave Trader Dunbarr in Morthalis). Once you have spoken with them, they will send you to Highbourne to speak with an Erudite Courier. The courier is located near the bridge in Qeynos Prison S. They will give you the statue for a price. Bring 10,770 tunar, purchase the statue and head back to the prophet for your reward.

Quest NPC: Minastickie
Location: Lavastorm
Speak with Minastikie, who can be found in the Lavastorm Mountains SE. She instructs you to talk with Prof. Ceryk in Milas Reef N.
Prof. Ceryk instructs you to speak with Chief Terican in The Hunt NW. He asks that you return to him with a horn from a Monstrous Rhino, which can be found in The Hunt C.
The Monstrous Rhino is similar to a raging rhino. It is under conned and very difficult. Even a group composed of a Faithful and Defender will find this mob challenging.
The Chief sends you back to Prof. Ceryk, who then sends you to Quintashi's Lair in Abysmal Sea NW. The entrance to his underwater cavern can be found in Abysmal Sea W. Be sure to bring some level 51 alchemist potions or a bard with hold-breath spells before going in. Once inside his lair, head for a tunnel at the back of a large (above water) room. The popup will teleport you to an underwater room if you answer "yes" to the question it asks. Swim along the floor toward the tall tower. Near a large seashell, you should get another popup telling you that you are being ambushed. This spawns some Dark Ritualist Scouts, however, if you have invis, you will likely not get attacked. One will con yellow to a 60, while the others will con white. Kill the yellow one (they are far enough apart that you can easily pull them separately), and return to Prof. Ceryk in Mila's Reef with the loot.
Ceryk sends you to Exploring Aid Mixxa in Klick'Anon. The aid sends you back to Minastikie. She then instructs you to kill the Fire Goblin General. He is spawned by a pop-up in the citadel in Lavastorm N. Return to Minastikie with the loot.
Minastikie then sends you back into Lavastorm and Solusek Eye in search of 4 random pop-ups, each of which gives you an item. Map to popups [new map 4/09].Search *Lavastorm S SE for the compass; *Lavastorm N for the blanket; *Soluseks' Eye S or Lavastorm SW for the rations; and *Sol Eye N for gyropick. Return to Minastikie with the items.
Minastikie then sends you back to Prof where you discover he has been poisoned, and his map stolen. You are instructed to speak with Merchant Dwindel in Hagley for a possible cure. Dwindel asks for 12,000 tunar and that you kill a Paradise Basilisk. The Basilisk can be found roaming in Sylhilthis' Dwell C, W, or NW. It is a difficult mob, and requires the aid of a group. Dwindel also requires 3 scales from an Abrosian Snapper, which can be found along the coast in Warrens S and C. Return to Dwindel with the items.
Dwindel sends you back to Ceryk where you recieve your reward
