== Quest Overview ==
== Overview ==
Quest to prevent [[Dark Isle]] from sinking back into the ocean shortly after it was raised to the surface.  Infiltrate the Temple of N'cthail and destroy the Crystal of the Dark Isle.


Despite being several years old, this quest is still quite difficult to complete solo or with a small group.  There are numerous drain and dispel traps in the dungeons which can dispel level 8 buffs.  The Slithis creatures throughout the quest throw projectiles which do type-less damage, which hurts a lot unless you have good [[Missile Defense]].  Unfortunately, the rewards have not been raised to current standards for a quest of such difficulty and length.

== Walk Through ==
=== Part 1: Eastern Temple Catacombs ===
=== Part 1: Eastern Temple Catacombs ===
# Speak to [[Kiriel Shadowborn]] at 66.3N 50.0E in [[Bandit Castle]].
# Enter the [[Temple of N'cthail]] portal at 70.4N, 50.5E.
#* Route: Use the portal to the [[Mite Maze]] in the 40+ section of the [[Facility Hub]], then run to the portal to Bandit Castle at 42.4N 60.5E.  Then head west to the castle.
# Enter the [[Eastern Temple Catacombs]].
# Use the [[Temple of N'cthail]] portal at 70.4N 50.5E to be portaled to the remote island where the temple is located.
# Kill [[Vault Mistress Shilaanis Ri]] and loot the {{Itemlink|Eastern Vault Key}} from her corpse.
#* '''Warning:''' The drop is not safe!  You will encounter Slithis right away that do type-less damage.  Stay on the move as quickly as possible.
# Head up the ramps and to the east.  Around the side of the temple you will find a portal to the [[Eastern Temple Catacombs]] underneath one of the ramps.
# Make your way through the dungeon, avoiding as many traps as possible.  See the map for details.
# At the end of the dungeon, you will find a room with many Slithis and [[Vault Mistress Shilaanis Ri]].  You will need to kill her to get the key to the nearby locked door.
#* '''Tip:''' The room can be tricky due to the presence of the Slithis which do type-less damage.  Shilaanis Ri also has a very short attack distance and cannot be pulled out of the room to kill more easily.  It may be best to clear some of the Slithis on one side of the room and attack and retreat to heal as necessary.
# Kill [[Vault Mistress Shilaanis Ri]] and loot the [[Eastern Vault Key]] from her corpse.
# Use the key to unlock the door.
# Use the key to unlock the door.
# Ahead are 3 [[Eastern Temple Tablet]]s, each person in the group needs one.  They will respawn shortly after being looted.
# Get {{Itemlink|Eastern Temple Tablet}}.
# Portal recall to return to Bandit Castle.  Give the Eastern Temple Tablet to Kiriel Shadowborn who will flag you for the next dungeon.
# Give the Eastern Temple Tablet to Kiriel Shadowborn.


=== Part 2: Western Temple Catacombs ===
=== Part 2: Western Temple Catacombs ===
# Again go to the [[Temple of N'cthail]] using the portal at 70.4N 50.5E.
# Go to the [[Temple of N'cthail]] at 70.4N 50.5E.
# From the drop, move forward and then west around the side of the temple to enter the [[Western Temple Catacombs]].
# Enter the [[Western Temple Catacombs]].
# This dungeon also has many traps to try to avoid when you can.  The dispel traps can be very frustrating as you will likely need to fully rebuff.  Study the map to get an idea of where they are located.
# Use the levers to finally open the south door.
# The first big room has a lever in it which opens the north door nearby.  Proceed to pull the lever in the north room, then the east room, then the west room.  This will open the door to the south.
# Go through two more sections of levers.  The door after the last lever operated door (marked D11) is actually opened by a pressure plate, not lever 11. The pressure plate is in the room just north of the first D11.
# The next lever sequence opens a door to the west, then the east, then the north.  Beware of the dispel trap in the connector between the rooms.
# Kill [[Vault Mistress Niktari Xsu]] and loot the {{Itemlink|Western Vault Key}} from her corpse.
# The final lever sequence opens a door in a north room, then a south room, then an east room.   
# The door after the last lever operated door (marked D11) is actually opened by a pressure plate, not lever 11. The pressure plate is in the room just north of the first D11.
# Beyond the levers you will come to room which is densely populated by Slithis.  You will need to fight your way through to the boss room on the other side.
#* '''Tip:''' A little ways into the room,  you can move to the east or west where there are not as many tentacles.  If soloing, try moving here first, then clearing some more to get to the boss.
# In the room beyond, you must kill [[Vault Mistress Niktari Xsu]] and loot the [[Western Vault Key]] from her corpse.
# Use the key to unlock the door.
# Use the key to unlock the door.
# Ahead are 3 [[Western Temple Tablet]]s, each person in the group needs one.  They will respawn shortly after being looted.

Though the original Crystal binding the Isle to the deeps has been destroyed, it must not be allowed to reform, lest the Isle sink back down beneath the waves. The Temple is heavily defended. There are wards that block the use of the portals to the Catacombs. I've located a tablet that will allow me to enchant you to bypass the Eastern Temple Catacomb's wards. Go into the Temple. There is a portal to the Temple opened at 70.4N 50.5E. Find the entrance to the Eastern Catacombs, bring back the Tablet you will find there, and I can give you further access to the Temple."
Handing in Eastern Temple Tablet

You give Kiriel Shadowborn Eastern Temple Tablet.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Ahh, the Eastern Catacombs Tablet..."

Kiriel Nightborn examines the tablet, muttering over the runes while tracing them with a finger. A cold darkness slowly covers the runes.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "There is a second tablet in the Western Catacombs. It contains the rest of the enchantment I need to gain you access to the crystal. With this Tablet, I can give you access to the Western Catacombs. Enter the Western Catacombs, find the tablet hidden there."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "There, now you can enter the Western Catacombs. Good luck."

Kiriel Shadowborn intones softly and a cold chill passes over you for a moment..
Handing in Western Temple Tablet

You give Kiriel Shadowborn Western Temple Tablet.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "The Western Catacombs Tablet..."

Kiriel Nightborn examines the tablet, muttering over the runes while tracing them with a finger. As with the first tablet, a cold darkness slowly covers the runes.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Now, I'll be able to complete the enchantment gaining you access to the Northern Catacombs. At the bottom of the Northern Catacombs, you should find the gate to the crystal we seek. Find it. Destroy it. Bring me proof of its demise, and I will reward you."

Kiriel Shadowborn once again intones softly and a cold chill passes over you for a moment..

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "There, now you can enter the Northern Catacombs. Good luck, and take care. The path only gets more difficult from here."
Handing in Crystal Shard

You give Kiriel Shadowborn Crystal Shard.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "A shard of the partially reformed Soul Crystal..."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "It is good that this crystal not be allowed to fully reform. There is a chance, if the Falatacot and the crystal were left alone for long enough, that they could re-sink the Dark Isle, cutting us off from the opportunity we sought in its raising."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Tell [sic] Please, accept this humble reward for your continued efforts to keep the Dark Isle above the waves."

You've earned 46,949,665 experience.

Kiriel Shadowborn gives you Helm of Isin Dule.

Global broadcast

A chill wind blows across Dereth, carrying with it an equally chill voice. The following words echo in the wind, "People of Dereth, I know that we have not always been allies, but now is not a time for us to be enemies. I have sent my Emissary to the place you call 'Bandit Castle'. There, those who are strong enough may find a path to aid in the battle against the Black Spear, the one called Grael. Seek my Emissary and begin the path of retaliation against one who would destroy all of us."
Kiriel Shadowborn, Opening Dialog (retired)

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Thank you for coming. I feared many would not be willing to hear me out."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Grael has awakened. My lord tried to stop this, but it has come to pass. I fear the Black Spear's rage will consume this world, if he is not stopped. To that end, my Lord has sent me to aid you and all those who go with you."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "First, a little lesson in history..."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Long ago, Grael, the Black Spear of the Kemeroi, chose to sleep. The place he chose to sleep was an isle north of here, north of Vissidal Isle. His presence covered the island in Shadow, and the isle soon came to be called the Dark Isle."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Those Falatacot who followed the Old One, N'cthail took a chance and used ancient seals to sink the isle below the waves. It was their hope that none would ever wake Grael and that this world would be free of him forever. Now, however, that wish has been undone by another."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "I have been shown the path to this temple. If the ancient stories are true, there should be a crystal in this temple to which the ancient seals are bound. The temple is heavily defended. There are wards that block the use of the portals to the catacombs. I've located a tablet that will allow me to enchant you to bypass the Eastern Temple Catacomb's wards. Go into the Temple. There is a portal to the Temple opened at 70.4N, 50.5E. Find the entrance to the Eastern Catacombs, bring back anything you find that may aid us further."

You give Kiriel Shadowborn Eastern Temple Tablet.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Ahh, this should help..."

Kiriel Nightborn examines the tablet, muttering over the runes while tracing them with a finger. A cold darkness slowly covers the runes.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Beautiful. Not everything I need to gain you access to the crystal, but it points to the remainder of the information. There is a second tablet in the Western Catacombs. It contains the rest of the enchantment I need to gain you access to the crystal. Enter the Western Catacombs, find the tablet hidden there."

Kiriel Shadowborn intones softly and a cold chill passes over you for a moment.

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "There, now you can enter the Western Catacombs. Good luck."


Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "The second tablet. Now we're getting somewhere"

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Now, I'll be able to complete the enchantment gaining you access to the Northern Catacombs. At the bottom of the Northern Catacombs, you should find the gate to the crystal we seek. Find it. Destroy it. Bring me proof of its demise, and I will reward you."

Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "There, now you can enter the Northern Catacombs. Good luck, and take care. The path only gets more difficult from here."
Global, crystal defeat

A deep rumble shakes Dereth as the Dark Isle begins its slow rise from the bottom of the sea.

In the depths below the Temple of N'cthail, [Player]'s party has shattered the Soul Crystal of the Dark Isle! The ancient Falatacot seals fall away as the flows of magic north of Vissidal slowly right themselves.
Crystal death message

The Soul Crystal of the Dark Isle shatters, scattering pieces all around the chamber!


Kiriel Shadowborn tells you, "Have you done it? I can feel the power flowing around you. If you have proof of the crystal's demise, please, hand it to me so that I may reward you."
