Episode 1

1️⃣ Speak with the recruiter in Klik'Anon.

2️⃣ Speak with Ruddish the Devout — Spider Mines (S/SW border), on the river bank.

3️⃣ Retrieve two Summoner's Wands from Froglok Slayers/Inquisitors in Burial Mounds (SW), near the river.

4️⃣ Return to Ruddish (although before you run all the way out to Ruddish, you may wish to complete step 5 first. So get your Wands and Warbeads, then return to Ruddish. Saves you a trip. You do not need your quest logged to get these drops — Janlynn).

5️⃣ Retrieve two Enchanted Goblin Warbeads in Guardian Forest (NW).

6️⃣ After collecting 2 warbeads from the goblins, you are sent to Lavastorm to farm fire basilisks for three kinds of ores: smoldering bedrock, mesothermal platinum, and epithermal gold.

7️⃣ Once you find them, you are instructed to fuse the ores by dropping them into a special lava location — Lavastorm (C), close to the edge where the landscape dips slightly downward. You will receive a popup here, triggering named millipedes. As you kill them, they eventually return to the lava as progressively harder ones spawn. Eventually, the Megametamilipizon spawns, dropping 4 NTL items. Cryptic Souls has killed the Megametamilipizon with as little as seven toons (SK, couple of necs, resist cleric, shammy).

Note: If you haven't started this quest yet, but are lucky enough to be able to loot a drop from the Megametamilipizon, it is possible to only complete steps 1–5 of this quest. With the Megametamilipizon drop, you can return to your quest NPC and complete the quest without ever farming for the lava drops. The lava drops are only to spawn the Mega.

Episode 2

Speak with Ruddish the Devout — Spider Mines (S/SW border), on the river bank.

He sends you to Tak'Xiv (C) to slay Sothimus the Brigand. Once there, you will find a camp of Desert Marauders / Pillagers / Henchmen. These enemies hit considerably hard; a tank with high AC and AGI is required — even then, the damage will range from around 250 to 400 per strike. Continue to farm them for one to three hours until Sothimus the Brigand spawns. Healers only need to be in the kill group for the AoE flag in order to advance their quest. No items are needed.

Return to Ruddish after your quest has been advanced.

He now sends you to procure three toxic glands — one of air, one of sea, and one of land. All three of these mobs con red to 60 and require minimal help to kill.

-- AIR — Plagued Forest Drake — South Toxxulia, near Shrixiv. Allegedly farm millipedes to spawn, but Yado finds that the fastest way to spawn a Plagued Forest Drake is to kill the Rancid Murkwoods. coglin comments: I do know if you have to kill wildlife to spawn it, it's easiest to do in (N) and (NE) subzones.

-- SEA — Plagued Siren — Farm the Enchanting Sirens in The Vastly Deep (E), West Toxxulia (SW), or Kerra Isle (SW).

-- LAND — Plagued Kobold Hunter — roams in Stonebrunt Mountains (C), (S), & (SW).

Return to Ruddish with the three toxic glands.

Ruddish will now fuse the glands to form a Rune of the Plagued. After he gives it to you, he sends you to Odus to figure out what it is for. Upon inspection of the item, you see this:

"...evarg yretaw sih ot mih nruter dna ekal eht morf erutaerc degniw eht kees..."

It appears to be scrambled nonsense, but it is really this backwards:

"Seek the winged creature from the lake and return him to his watery grave"

Using this Rune of the Plagued, head to Stonebrunt Mountains (C) to search for a popup. It can be found near the eastern entrance to the Grizz Cave, near a large rock along the northern shore of the lake. To find the lake, bear right (East) around the large central mountain and continue North until you see it. Once you receive the popup, the rune will be replaced with an unscrambled one.

Return to Ruddish with the unscrambled rune.

Ruddish will now send you to trigger a dragon, Cyrcalis, in Stonebrunt Mountains. He gives you two options for killing the Dragon:

-- Seek the runes, scattered throughout Tunaria and Odus, so as to debuff the creature... (TY Shorte & Coglin) Rune of the Frost — Goblins, North Wilderlands & TFGs, perma (don't confuse it for frost rune, which drops from TFGs and will appear in misc in your inventory; it's blue coloured. Rune of Frost is a brown rune and will appear in your Tradeskills section of inventory). Rune of Poison — Treant prisoners, Guardian Forest (NW). Rune of Fire — Animated Lava/Basilisks, Lavastorm (epic mobs are marked; see legend at bottom). Rune of Lightening — Frogloks in Burial Mounds and Guk.

Note (TY Shorte and Wickedlyrics): You don't need all four runes, as you can only combine 3 different runes for debuffing him. Different combinations will take away the nukes for those runes (ie. using the FR rune means he can't nuke with fire, using Frost means he can't nuke with ice, etc.). You don't even need all three if you think you have a strong enough force. For instance, combining the LR and FR runes makes the "Rune of Searing Electricity," which will take away his ability to nuke with LR/FR. In this case, just let your tank know to ensure his PR and CR are maxed as those would be the "undebuffed" nukes.

-- Simply mobilize with a strong force... Two to three groups are required for an effective kill.

Return back to Stonebrunt Mountains to the location you received the popup to spawn the dragon. The dragon drops four (4) NO TRADE LORE items.

Return to Ruddish for your reward of 30 million XP and 10k tunar.

Episode 3

Starts from Ruddish the Devout in Spider Mine SW. He sends you to Lilla in RV who's on the west edge of the lake near a boulder. She screams bloody murder about her husband and you offer to help find him. Go out the east entrance of RV (mind the werehunters) and go north 2 hills. Biddleby spawns there. Whoever talks to him first and gives him the pie is the only one who advances. There are no drops. He has a load of HP and hits tanks for around 150–500 per swing with a 2k nuke. He can be MT'd with a medium-sized force. Respawn can be anywhere from instant to 2 hours.

RIP Biddleby-CS

Head back to Ruddish; he sends you to the blessing rock (where you got the last two blessings) and you get a very.....interesting popup. Just to be clear, RETURN TO THE ROCK WHERE ALL YOUR POPUPS HAVE BEEN BEFORE IN ORDER TO SPAWN AoH. AoH will then spawn right across the river from Ruddish beside the tall, square stone with writings on it (TY Carmen for clarity). Lanaz also comments on the location: Run straight across from Ruddish to the other side of the river, then run west a short distance until you come to the FLAT white rock. As you walk on the surface of this rock, you should receive the pop-up which gives you XP as well, so make sure you're BOONED.

RIP Avatar of Hate-CS

Prepare for debt, because you're about to have your rear end handed to you before you can get out of the dialogue. Avatar of Hate and his minions pop. No interesting drops off the minions.

AoH despawns after about a half hour, but you can repop him by walking by the rock again, and you have about 5 seconds to run before all the mobs pop again. AoH is top-notch raid mob quality. Have fun...! He is very hard to tank; let petters kite him, with melees and tanks using ranged weapons, and zerg. SK's use your Enshrouding Darkness as a DOT and to slow him down; throw on all your debuffs. Drops 8 Medallion of Innoruk.

Note: If you already have a Medallion from either the Green Rift or Spider Mines (either Medallion works fine), all you have to do is head to the blessing rock. AoH will spawn. Wait a half hour, he'll despawn and Errolisi Marr will spawn, and you can talk to her (press square, or you'll just get the AoH popup and he'll respawn again despawning Errolisi Marr). She will accept your quest piece.

After defeating AoH, Errolisi Marr herself spawns by the rock. Turn in the quest piece to her for 73 mil XP with no XP pot. She sends you off to Eripolus on the south side of the lake in Shon-To Monastery for your ability section of the quest.
