== Quest Overview ==
== Overview ==
Multi stage quest to infiltrate Hoshino's fortress and tower. Advance warning: The creatures on this quest are highly dangerous.  Only very well equipped characters are recommended for this quest.  It is very difficult to get back to the group on this quest if you die.   
Multi stage quest to infiltrate Hoshino's fortress and tower.


It is strongly recommended that each character bring an [[Evader's Crystal]] to use for the 2nd courtyard portion of this quest. 
* The creatures in the fortress and dungeons hit very hard with melee damage, slashing war spells, and void DoTs. Creatures you'll encounter are primarily ghosts, undead, mu-miyah, and rats.
 
On subsequent runs of this quest, it is possible to skip the first 2 dungeons if players have keys to the 2nd and final gates from previous runs.  These keys do not expire.  This would require only clearing the 2nd courtyard in order to open the 3rd gate before proceeding to the final dungeon.  However, the rewards for this quest are given in phases, so doing so will miss out on the first 2 (smaller) rewards.
*'''Note:''' The ability to skip the first or second dungeon has either changed, or there are ''some'' flagging requirements.  Even after completing the first dungeon, the Hoshino Tower portal can be unusable, requiring the player to complete the second dungeon to be flagged for the tower.

# Once inside the fortress enter the [[Venerable Mausoleum]] portal on the left in the courtyard.
#* Note: Should anyone in your group die after entering the fortress and before using the Hoshino Tower poral in part 4, you will need to make another key to re-enter the fortress.  It is often easiest for a single person/small group with very high melee defense or rares to collect the key from the nearby towns.


=== Part 2: Venerable Mausoleum ===

# From the drop, take the ramp down and work your way to a room with three pits (north, east, and west).   
# From the drop, take the ramp down and work your way to a room with three pits (north, east, and west).   
# Jump down into each pit, and work your way to the end until you find the boss (see below).   
# Jump down into each pit, and work your way to the end until you find the boss (see below).   
# Kill the bosses, and loot a bone from their corpses (each drops 9).  Everyone in the group needs one of each bone.  Then take the portal nearby to return to the drop.
# Kill the bosses, and loot a bone from their corpses (drops 9).  Everyone in the group needs one of each bone:
#* In the '''north''' pit you will find [[Swarm]] enemies and [[Mu-miyah]].  The boss at the end is [[Ronin Hirachi]] who looks like a very tall [[Spectral Void Mage]] and drops the [[Ancient Skull]].  Directions to [[Ronin Hirachi]]:
#* North - [[Ronin Hirachi]] drops an {{Itemlink|Ancient Skull}}
## After jumping down, follow the linear path to the first intersection and go right.
#* East - [[Ronin Ginmura]] drops a {{Itemlink|Shaped Arm Bone}}
## Continue following the linear path through rooms until a room with a left and right exit, take the left exit into a larger room.
#* West - [[Ronin Shimakawa]] drops an {{Itemlink|Ancient Arm Bone}}
## Exit this large room to the right into a short hallway leading into the room with [[Ronin Hirachi]].
#* Lockpick Bonus: There is a [[Chorizite Chest]] in the East section.
##* '''Note:''' Standing to the right of the hallway leading to [[Ronin Hirachi]]'s room will allow him to reach you if he aggros.  The further to left of this hallway you stand, the less likely he will be able to reach you if he aggros.
# After looting each bone, use the surface portal nearby to head back to the top of the dungeon.  Repeat these steps for each pit.
#* In the '''east''' pit you will find void casting grubs.  The boss at the end is [[Ronin Ginmura]] who drops a [[Shaped Arm Bone]].  Directions to [[Ronin Ginmura]]:
# After you have both bones and a skull combine them into {{Itemlink|Ancient Skull and Bones}}.
## After jumping down, follow the linear path to the first intersection and go right.
# Hand the completed Ancient Skull and Bones to the [[Ancient Altar]], located in upper east level of the dungeon, near the [[Samurai Titan]] to obtain your rewards and the {{Itemlink|Middle Gate Key}}.
## Take the next two lefts which are close together and leave you at a door.
#* Note: Do not get too close to the Titan or he will agro.  
## Go through the doors and then take your next two rights which are also close together.
# After the first person does their turn in, the [[Crypt Eidolon]] will spawn, smite the Samurai Titan, and subsequently disappear.
## The room you're now in only has one other exit.  This exit leads to a short hallway leading to a room with [[Ronin Ginmura]].
#* Note 1: If you wish to see this animation again, wait for the Samurai Titan to respawn before handing in your skull and bones.  
##* '''Note:''' In the room prior to [[Ronin Ginmura]], standing in the corner nearest to the exit hallway should allow you to debuff the mini-boss before entering the room.
# After everyone has turned in their Ancient Skull and Bones, take the nearby surface portal, which takes you back to the courtyard (extremely hot drop!).
#* In the '''west''' pit you will find rats and ghost enemies.  The boss at the end is [[Ronin Shimakawa]] who drops an [[Ancient Arm Bone]].  Beware of the [[Departed Spirit | Departed Spirits]], which cast [[Blade Lure (Spell) | Blade Lure]] and [[Asphyiaxtion]].  These spells can leave you a very easy target for [[Ronin Shimakawa]], who hits very hard!  Directions to [[Ronin Shimakawa]]:
#* Note: The surface portal will expire within a few minutes of the last person's turn-in (it can be re-spawned via a turn in).
## After jumping down, follow the linear path to the first intersection and go right and through two doors.
#* Note: This point in the quest is a good time to use a melee defense rare or other rares in order to survive the coutryard battle.
## At the next intersection, go left which will take you down a ramp.
# Have one person give the Middle Gate Key to the [[Lock (Middle Gate)|lock]] of the door to the north and proceed to the 2nd area of the courtyard.
## Continue without taking any of the remaining turns to reach the room with [[Ronin Shimakawa]].
# Clear the entire spawn inside the 2nd courtyard.  Once the last creature dies, the next door will open.
#* '''Lockpick Bonus:''' There is a [[Chorizite Chest]] in the eastern pit section.
# Run through the door and enter the [[Falatacot Temple]] portal, located inside a small building in the middle of 3rd courtyard.  This is also a hot drop.
# After you have both bones and a skull combine them into [[Ancient Skull and Bones]].
#* Note 1: If anyone dies, someone will need to collect another key to the fortress in order to re-open the gate (see part 1).  Someone who did not use their [[Middle Gate Key]] will then need to open the gate to the 2nd courtyard.
#: [[File:Ancient Skull Icon.png]] + [[File:Ancient Arm Bone Icon.png]] = [[File:Ancient Skull and Bone Icon.png]] + [[File:Shaped Arm Bone Icon.png]] = [[File:Ancient Skull and Bones Icon.png]]
#* Note 2: The door which opens to the 3rd courtyard after the spawn is cleared remains open for a longer amount of time (45 minutes?).  This should allow time for anyone who died to re-join the group in the Falatacot Temple.
#: <font color="green">You carefully place the arm bone inside of the skull. You feel a gentle click as the bone attaches to a groove inside of the skull.</font>
#: <font color="green">You carefully place the arm bone inside of the skull. You feel a gentle click as the bone attaches to the second groove inside of the skull.</font>
# From the drop head north again and follow the path without jumping down around the pit.  You will soon come to a room with an altar and a [[Samurai Titan]]. Keep your distance from him so he does not attack!
# Hand the completed Ancient Skull and Bones to the [[Ancient Altar]].  After the first person does their turn in, a [[Crypt Eidolon]] will spawn, smite the Samurai Titan, and subsequently disappear.
#* '''Note:''' If you wish to see this animation again, wait for the Samurai Titan to respawn before handing in your skull and bones.  Each person can turn in for rewards without needing to see the animation.
# Turning in grants you the ''Vanquisher of the Titan'' title, 300 million [[Xp]], 8,000 [[Luminance]], a [[Legendary Key]], and a [[Middle Gate Key]] (used in the next part).
# After everyone has turned in their Ancient Skull and Bones, ensure that everyone knows what to do for the upcoming courtyard fight, then take the nearby surface portal, which takes you back to the first courtyard (very hot drop).
#* '''Note:''' The surface portal will expire within a few minutes of the last person's turn-in (it can be re-spawned via a turn in).
 
=== Part 3: 2nd Courtyard ===
# Have someone give their  [[Middle Gate Key]] to the [[Lock (Middle Gate)|lock]] on the first courtyard door.  The lock is located on the right side of the door.
#* '''Note:''' They key does not expire, so a key from a past run can be used to skip part 2 of the quest if desired. 
#* '''Important:''' This section is typically the most dangerous of the entire quest.  An [[Evader's Crystal]] is commonly used to help ensure survival.
# When the gate opens, proceed into the 2nd courtyard and all the way to the far north end.  This helps to keep the enemy archers out of range.
# Clear the entire spawn inside the 2nd courtyard.  Once the last creature dies, the next courtyard door will open.
# Run through the door and proceed to the [[Falatacot Temple]] portal.  It is located inside one of the larger buildings in the middle of the courtyard.
#* '''Note:''' If someone in your group has a final gate key already, you can skip the dungeon and proceed to open the final gate (part 5).


=== Part 4: Falatacot Temple ===
=== Part 3: Falatacot Temple ===
# Do not move upon entering the dungeon!  If you do you will aggro the nearby enemies!
# Inside this dungeon, your group must kill enemies, and collect the upper, middle, and lower pieces of a lever from their corpses.  The pieces drop randomly.  Only 1 set is needed for the group.
# Inside this dungeon, your group must kill creatures, and collect the upper, middle, and lower pieces of a lever from their corpses.  Each piece spawns randomly on 3 enemies in the dungeon.  Only 1 lever is needed, so it is recommended to designate one person to collect the pieces.
## {{Itemlink|Broken Lever (Lower)}}
#* '''Note:''' The disintegration timer on these pieces all begin when you enter the dungeon, and not when you pick them up.
## {{Itemlink|Broken Lever (Middle)}}
#* '''Lockpick Bonus:''' There is another [[Chorizite Chest]] in this dungeon, in the room south of the last door.
## {{Itemlink|Broken Lever (Upper)}}
# Once you have all three pieces, combine them to create a [[Lever Handle]].
#* Note: The disintegration timer on these pieces all begin when you enter the dungeon, and not when you pick them up.
#: [[File:Broken Lever (Lower) Icon.png]] + [[File:Broken Lever (Middle) Icon.png]] = [[File:Broken Lever (Lower and Middle) Icon.png]] + [[File:Broken Lever (Upper) Icon.png]] = [[File:Lever Handle Icon.png]]
# Once you have all three pieces, combine them to create a {{Itemlink|Lever Handle}}.
# Head to the north end of the dungeon and hand the [[Lever Handle]] to the [[Lever Box]] (located to the right of the door) to open it.
# Head to the north end of the dungeon and hand the [[Lever Handle]] to the [[Lever Box]] (located to the right of the door) to open it.

# Proceed past the door, and you will be auto-portaled into the next part of this dungeon.
#* '''Note:''' Once you portal in, don't move forward, or you will draw aggro!
#* Note: Once you portal in, don't move forward, or you will draw agro.
# In the next dungeon, you must kill everything to trigger the opening of the door (located in front of you at the drop).  There are creatures at the drop and down each of the 6 nearby hallways that must be killed.  Your group can split up if you feel confident that everyone will be safe.   
# Kill everything in this dungeon to trigger the opening of the door (located in front of you at the drop).  There are six hallways off of the main room that must be cleared.   
# Once the door opens, head up the stairs and down the hallway until you reach a room containing several creatures, including an [[Exarch Nanjou Shou-jen]].
# Head up the stairs and down the hallway until you reach a room containing several enemies, including an [[Exarch Nanjou Shou-jen]].
# Kill the Exarch Nanjou Shou-jen, and a [[Freed Temple Exarch]] NPC will spawn.
# Kill the Exarch Nanjou Shou-jen, and a [[Freed Temple Exarch]] NPC will spawn.
# Speak with the Exarch NPC, to receive your second set of rewards: the ''Heretic'' title, 300 million xp, 12,000 luminance, a [[Legendary Key]], and a [[Final Gate Key]] (used in the next part).
# Speak with the Exarch NPC, to receive your second set of rewards and a {{Itemlink|Final Gate Key}}.


=== Part 5: Hoshino Tower ===  
=== Part 4: Hoshino Tower ===
# When your group is ready, use the surface portal in this room to return to the 3rd courtyard (very hot drop).
# When your group is ready, use the surface portal in this room to return to the 3rd courtyard (very hot drop).
# Head '''north''' and have someone give the [[Final Gate Key]] to the lock on the right side of the final door.  This leads to an overlook, containing the spectral towers.
# Have one person use their [[Final Gate Key]] to open the final door to the north, which leads to an overlook, containing the spectral towers.
# Beyond the door, be very careful you do not accidentally run into the portal straight ahead!  It is hard to see in the bright light of the towers.  You can run around the outside of the tower to help escape from any trailing enemies.
# The final portal should be entered together as a group, so it is best to run to the spectral towers, then stop and clear any spawns that follow.
# Admire the spectral towers and make sure everyone is ready for the final boss fight.  Then, everyone should enter the [[Hoshino Tower]] portal '''together'''.
# Admire the spectral towers floating on the side of the fortress then enter the [[Hoshino Tower]] portal (boss fight hot drop).
# Inside is a small room with a [[First Lieutenant]]. Everyone should focus on the him and ignore the other spawns as much as possible.  The longer the battle lasts, the more spawns will appear! Use fire weapons (preferably armor rending with an imperil and fire vuln in place).
# Inside, kill the [[First Lieutenant]] and loot the {{Itemlink|First Lieutenant's Insignia.}} from his corpse (drops 9). Respawn is 10 minutes.
#*'''Note:''' Flame waves will shoot out along the edges of the room - everyone should stay away from the walls. 
#* Note: All fellow members should focus on the boss - the longer the fight, the more spawns will accumulate in the room. He goes down fast when both imp'd and vuln'd.
# Kill the [[First Lieutenant]] and loot the [[First Lieutenant's Insignia]] from his corpse (drops 9).  The respawn time is fairly long (10 minutes?).
#* Note: Flame waves will shoot out along the edges of the room - everyone should stay away from the walls.  
#* '''Note:''' If anyone dies during the fight, they can get back by using the [[Hoshino Tower]] portal near the large pagoda building to the east of the fortress (coords?).
#* Note: If anyone should die during the boss fight, they can get back by using the shortcut portal located near the pagoda building across from the main gate to the fortress (need coords).
# After looting, take the ramp up until you reach a room containing tables with [[O-Yoroi Armor]], [[Reinforced Shou-jen Armor]] and 2-use [[Legendary Key]]s on them.
# After he dies, take the ramp up until you reach a room containing tables with [[O-Yoroi Armor]], [[Reinforced Shou-jen Armor]] and 2-use [[Legendary Key]]s on them.
# You may loot one piece of armor from either set and one key.  The next room contains the legendary chests and an exit portal.
# You may loot one piece of armor from either set and one key.
#* '''Note:''' The dungeon is a "no log" dungeon, so you cannot camp out for more rewards.
#* Note: If you are unsure what to choose, the O-Yoroi armor is more popular due to its unique look, while the Shou-jen armor looks similar to the [[Nanjou Shou-jen Armor]] which can be acquired while fighting in [[Egg Orchard]] and other similar dungeons.  Both armor sets offer only epic cantrips as a set bonus, so for most players they are useful for tailoring only.
# Return the [[First Lieutenant's Insignia]] to [[Mareeno Donn]] at the [[Royal Tent]] tent for the ''Captain'' title, 300 million xp, 31,000 luminance, and 35 MMDs.
# Past the armor room is another room with chests you can use your Legendary Keys on. Be sure to use all 4 legendary keys here.
# Finally, return the [[First Lieutenant's Insignia]] to [[Mareeno Donn]] at the [[Royal Tent]] tent for your final reward.
#* Note: Also talk to the other NPCs at the tent for kill task rewards if you flagged with them earlier.

Hoshino Fortress Infiltration
Level: 200
Type: Fellowship
Starts With: Mareeno Donn
Starts At: Royal Tent at 80.7N, 43.0W
Route: Stonehold to Desolation Beach portal at 69.6N, 20.2W
Repeat: 20 Hours
Contracts: Contract for Hoshino Fortress

Overview

Multi stage quest to infiltrate Hoshino's fortress and tower.

  • The creatures in the fortress and dungeons hit very hard with melee damage, slashing war spells, and void DoTs. Creatures you'll encounter are primarily ghosts, undead, mu-miyah, and rats.

Walkthrough & Notes

Part 1: Main Gate Key

  1. Talk to Mareeno Donn outside the Royal Tent at 80.7N, 43.0W.
    • Route: From Stonehold, take the Desolation Beach portal at 69.6N, 20.2W and run to 80.7N, 43.0W.
    • Talk to all the other NPCs at the tent to get flagged for kill tasks as well. You will likely complete them all during the quest.
  2. Collect three broken key pieces from the three Gatekeepers that spawn inside one of the clusters of buildings at the base of the fortress:
    1. Broken Key (Lower) - From the Bushi Gatekeeper
    2. Broken Key (Middle) - From the Samurai Gatekeeper
    3. Broken Key (Upper) - From the Claw Master Gatekeeper
    • Note 1: The particular building in each cluster that the Gatekeepers spawn appears to be random.
    • Note 2: Each piece of the key has a one hour timer before it disintegrates. Combining the pieces resets the timer.
  3. Combine the 3 Broken Key pieces into a Main Gate Key, which has a two hour timer before it disintegrates.
  4. Go to the entrance to Hoshino's Fortress at 79.1N 41.5W and hand the Main Gate Key to the Lock, located next to the gate.
  5. Once inside the fortress run directly into the Venerable Mausoleum portal on the left in the courtyard.
    • Note: Should anyone in your group die after entering the fortress and before using the Hoshino Tower poral in part 4, you will need to make another key to re-enter the fortress. It is often easiest for a single person/small group with very high melee defense or rares to collect the key from the nearby towns.

Part 2: Venerable Mausoleum

  1. From the drop, take the ramp down and work your way to a room with three pits (north, east, and west).
  2. Jump down into each pit, and work your way to the end until you find the boss (see below).
  3. Kill the bosses, and loot a bone from their corpses (drops 9). Everyone in the group needs one of each bone:
  4. After looting each bone, use the surface portal nearby to head back to the top of the dungeon. Repeat these steps for each pit.
  5. After you have both bones and a skull combine them into Ancient Skull and Bones.
  6. Hand the completed Ancient Skull and Bones to the Ancient Altar, located in upper east level of the dungeon, near the Samurai Titan to obtain your rewards and the Middle Gate Key.
    • Note: Do not get too close to the Titan or he will agro.
  7. After the first person does their turn in, the Crypt Eidolon will spawn, smite the Samurai Titan, and subsequently disappear.
    • Note 1: If you wish to see this animation again, wait for the Samurai Titan to respawn before handing in your skull and bones.
  8. After everyone has turned in their Ancient Skull and Bones, take the nearby surface portal, which takes you back to the courtyard (extremely hot drop!).
    • Note: The surface portal will expire within a few minutes of the last person's turn-in (it can be re-spawned via a turn in).
    • Note: This point in the quest is a good time to use a melee defense rare or other rares in order to survive the coutryard battle.
  9. Have one person give the Middle Gate Key to the lock of the door to the north and proceed to the 2nd area of the courtyard.
  10. Clear the entire spawn inside the 2nd courtyard. Once the last creature dies, the next door will open.
  11. Run through the door and enter the Falatacot Temple portal, located inside a small building in the middle of 3rd courtyard. This is also a hot drop.
    • Note 1: If anyone dies, someone will need to collect another key to the fortress in order to re-open the gate (see part 1). Someone who did not use their Middle Gate Key will then need to open the gate to the 2nd courtyard.
    • Note 2: The door which opens to the 3rd courtyard after the spawn is cleared remains open for a longer amount of time (45 minutes?). This should allow time for anyone who died to re-join the group in the Falatacot Temple.

Part 3: Falatacot Temple

  1. Inside this dungeon, your group must kill enemies, and collect the upper, middle, and lower pieces of a lever from their corpses. The pieces drop randomly. Only 1 set is needed for the group.
    1. Broken Lever (Lower)
    2. Broken Lever (Middle)
    3. Broken Lever (Upper)
    • Note: The disintegration timer on these pieces all begin when you enter the dungeon, and not when you pick them up.
  2. Once you have all three pieces, combine them to create a Lever Handle.
  3. Head to the north end of the dungeon and hand the Lever Handle to the Lever Box (located to the right of the door) to open it.
  4. Proceed past the door, and you will be auto-portaled into the next part of this dungeon.
    • Note: Once you portal in, don't move forward, or you will draw agro.
  5. Kill everything in this dungeon to trigger the opening of the door (located in front of you at the drop). There are six hallways off of the main room that must be cleared.
  6. Head up the stairs and down the hallway until you reach a room containing several enemies, including an Exarch Nanjou Shou-jen.
  7. Kill the Exarch Nanjou Shou-jen, and a Freed Temple Exarch NPC will spawn.
  8. Speak with the Exarch NPC, to receive your second set of rewards and a Final Gate Key.

Part 4: Hoshino Tower

  1. When your group is ready, use the surface portal in this room to return to the 3rd courtyard (very hot drop).
  2. Have one person use their Final Gate Key to open the final door to the north, which leads to an overlook, containing the spectral towers.
  3. The final portal should be entered together as a group, so it is best to run to the spectral towers, then stop and clear any spawns that follow.
  4. Admire the spectral towers floating on the side of the fortress then enter the Hoshino Tower portal (boss fight hot drop).
  5. Inside, kill the First Lieutenant and loot the First Lieutenant's Insignia. from his corpse (drops 9). Respawn is 10 minutes.
    • Note: All fellow members should focus on the boss - the longer the fight, the more spawns will accumulate in the room. He goes down fast when both imp'd and vuln'd.
    • Note: Flame waves will shoot out along the edges of the room - everyone should stay away from the walls.
    • Note: If anyone should die during the boss fight, they can get back by using the shortcut portal located near the pagoda building across from the main gate to the fortress (need coords).
  6. After he dies, take the ramp up until you reach a room containing tables with O-Yoroi Armor, Reinforced Shou-jen Armor and 2-use Legendary Keys on them.
  7. You may loot one piece of armor from either set and one key.
    • Note: If you are unsure what to choose, the O-Yoroi armor is more popular due to its unique look, while the Shou-jen armor looks similar to the Nanjou Shou-jen Armor which can be acquired while fighting in Egg Orchard and other similar dungeons. Both armor sets offer only epic cantrips as a set bonus, so for most players they are useful for tailoring only.
  8. Past the armor room is another room with chests you can use your Legendary Keys on. Be sure to use all 4 legendary keys here.
  9. Finally, return the First Lieutenant's Insignia to Mareeno Donn at the Royal Tent tent for your final reward.
    • Note: Also talk to the other NPCs at the tent for kill task rewards if you flagged with them earlier.
