== Walk Through ==
;Prerequisites
* Everyone who participates in this quest ''must'' have a {{Itemlink|Coruscating Olthoi Scent Gland}}.  Glands are only found on level 160+ [[Paradox Olthoi]]. The best place to hunt for glands is in [[Olthoi North]].
* There are several ''convenience ties'' that you can get ahead of time to speed things up|
** Part 1: Surface portal of the [[Olthoi Tunnels]] at 48.0N, 53.0E.
** Part 2: [[Black Death Catacombs]] at 60.0N, 71.1E.


'''1. Convenience Ties'''
== Walkthrough & Notes ==
=== Part 1: Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian ===
# From [[Paradox-touched Valley]], enter the [[Ward Guardian Cave]], the western most burrow at the back of the valley.
# Stick right until you come to a 4-way intersection, go SE.
# When you come to a large room, stick right until you leave the large room then go straight NE.
# Pass by the first intersection and the dungeon becomes linear from here until you reach a large room containing the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian]].
# Kill the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian]] to open access to Aerbax's Prodigal Olthoi quest.
#* {{Warning}} Once the Ward Guardian is dead, you have a 6 hour window to run the quest.


To get to the valley for the first time, take the Far Claw Villas portal (32.9N 59.4E) in Arwic. There are not portals in the paradox olthoi valley, but you can tie to the surface portal of Olthoi Tunnels at 48N 53E for quick access to the valley. Tying to Black Death Catacombs 60N 71.1E for the second part of the quest beforehand is also helpful (take the Isparian Flame Estates portal (8.7N 60.9E) in Rithwic). There is also a lifestone just north of the valley at 48.3N 57.4E.
=== Part 2: Deeper Catacombs ===
# From the drop of the [[Black Death Catacombs]], head down the ramp, and head to the south side of the room, where you'll find an opening in the wall that leads to the [[Deeper Catacombs (Paradox)]] portal.
#* {{Optional}} Loot {{Itemlink|Directives}} from one of the Tanada corpses scattered near the portal as part of the [[Tanada House of Water's Directives]] quest.
# Work your way through the dungeon until you reach the ''Egg Room''. Loot an {{Itemlink|Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg}}, from the ground.
# Hand your [[Coruscating Olthoi Scent Gland]] to the [[Sealed Olthoi Passage (Door)|olthoi-style door]] and you'll be portaled to the [[Sealed Olthoi Passage]].
#* {{Warning}} From here you have 2 hours of access to the Sealed Olthoi Passage. Should you die before reaching the Queen, olthoi-style door and you'll be portaled inside again.


'''2. Coruscating Olthoi Scent Gland'''
=== Part 3: Sealed Olthoi Passage ===
# From the drop, go left at the first intersection then stick right until you come to a square room, take the NE passage.
# You'll eventually come to a large room. Go east then south in the room, and take the passage down.
# Stick to the right wall and you'll come to a jagged bridge over a pool of acid. Follow the bridge to the other side of the room.
#* '''Note:''' If anyone falls into the acid, there is a tunnel back up on the west side.
# At the wishbone intersection go right, and then follow the hallway straight, ignoring all other cut-backs.
# When you come to a dead-end pit, turn around, hold shift and jump down backwards into the pit to be portaled into the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen's lair. If you jump into the middle of the pit you will drop into the acid and not on the ledge. This will bring the queen before your party gets setup and if she gets up on the ledge she will kill everyone.
#* {{Warning}} When you portal in, '''''do not''''' move forward.  This is a good place to rebuff and/or give final instructions.


Everyone going will need to pick up at least one gland, they drop randomly on higher level paradox olthoi (evicerators, warriors, nobles, slashers, rippers, sentinels, etc). These are found in the valley and burrows around 44.5N 55E.  
=== Part 4: Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen ===
# You'll portal in on a ledge, overlooking the queen.  There are a couple of strategies to killing the queen, however if you have a small/moderate size group, the best way is to setup on the mushroom on the far wall. 
# One person with high melee should lead the way for everyone to jump up onto the mushroom that is against the center of the far back wall
# From here, you're safe from melee attacks as long as you stay against the wall.
# Fully debuff the queen (including her UA & Strength), then attack.
# Once the queen dies, loot a {{Itemlink|Carapace Shard}} from her corpse.  
#* She also drops one {{Itemlink|Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen's Head}}, which can be turned in for a title.


'''3. Kill Ward Guardian'''
=== In Case of Death ===
# If anyone should die while fighting the queen, you can quickly get back by heading to the burrow east of [[Olthoi North]] at 44.5N 57.3E.
# Someone inside the Queen's Lair must use open the door to the burrow by using the [[Olthoi Cistern]] Lever, located in the corner of the Queen's Lair.
# Once the door opens, use the portal just inside to be portaled back to the Queens Lair.
#* Note: Access via this entrance is restricted to players who have entered the Queen's Lair within the past 2 hours.


Go inside the burrow of the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian]]. This is the westernmost burrow at the back of the valley. Stick right until you come to a 4-way intersection, go SE. When you come to a large room, stick right until you leave the large room then go straight NE. After you've passed the first intersection there is only one way to go all the way to the final room where you kill the Ward Guardian. The Guardian is hollow and does mainly pierce and acid damage. Its death activates the [[Deeper Catacombs (Paradox)]] portal for six hours. (When bringing a large group into a burrow it is extremely helpful to go south of the tent, the cliff side dips down very low and you can jump down there. Have someone with high melee jump down first and pull the large groups of olthoi away from the burrow entrance, then the group can enter unimpeded. Don't start fighting until you have gone down several turns into the burrow.)  
=== Part 5: Rewards ===
# Return to the valley Tent at 43.8N 54.9E and hand the [[Carapace Shard]] to [[Ethan Wintermaine]] to receive a {{Itemlink|Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapon Token}} and a {{Itemlink|Braced Mana Forge Key}}.  
#* Note: If you don't want a weapon, wand or shield, the token can be returned to Ethan Wintermaine for XP.
# If you looted a [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg]], it can be given to [[Adrien Swiftblade]] in the tent for experience.
# If you have the Queen's Head, hand it to [[Ethan Wintermaine]] for the title of ''Paradox-touched Queenslayer''.
# To obtain your weapon or shield, bring the token to one of the NPCs located in the northermost burrow inside the valley ([[Paradox Olthoi Refuge]], 43.5N 55.2E).  
#* Note: Each NPC is holding the reward they give in exchange for the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapon Token]].

From the drop in [[Black Death Catacombs]], travel down the first long ramp, in the large room go to the south side of the room and take the south passage where you'll find the [[Deeper Catacombs (Paradox)]] portal. At the bottom in the Egg room is an olthoi style door, everyone hands the gland to door and is portaled to the [[Sealed Olthoi Passage]]. Mark the time, you have two hours of access (if you die before reaching the queen, double click the olthoi door instead of handing another gland to be portaled inside again). Eggs can be given to an NPC in the tent for xp.

From the drop, go left at the first intersection then stick right until you come to a square room, take the NE passage. You'll eventually come to a large room, go east then south in the room, take the passage down. Stick to the right wall and you'll come to a bridge over an acid floor, follow the bridge to the other side of the room (if anyone falls into the acid, there's a tunnel back up on the west side).
== Images ==
At the Y intersection go right, there will be several 3 way choices that follow, go straight through the middle of all of them. When you come to the jump pit you can rebuff there or jump down (the drop is semi-safe) don't attack anything or move off platform until ready to attack the queen.

'''6. Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen'''
== Dialog ==
{{Dialog|
;Opening Dialog
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Greetings citizen."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "If you're of a mind to help quell this invasion, I have a mission for you.  We've found that, with the increase in the infestation of this area, that the stronger Paradox-touched Olthoi have some capacity to pass beyond the Sealed Olthoi Passage that those aiding the Guard Swiftblade have found."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Those who have hunted them have been able to use these stronger Olthoi to gain passage beyond the door themselves."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Beyond that passage lies my mission for you.  It's a simple one, in concept anyways."
|Ethan Wintermaine smiles.
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Before we get to that, you'll need to bypass the Wards on the Deeper Catacombs Portal.  Guard Swiftblade, in the tent behind me, has more information in bypassing the Wards.  Speak to him if you need more information on that process."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Go beyond the passage, find the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen, and kill her.  Bring me back proof of her death, and I'll reward you for your part in it.  Be warned, however.  She's not a creature to be taken lightly, or hunted alone."


You land on a small ledge facing a large acid filled room with the Queen at the far side of the room. The queen can be dragged up onto the ledge to avoid fighting in the acid. Dedicated healers are very helpful, the queen can cast creature, life and item debuffs (takes buffs off weapons/wands). She also casts Canker, a level VIII undispellable acid vuln, it's recommended to stop fighting until the 1 minute vuln drops. She is true hollow so armor high in natural AL to pierce or acid primarily, slash and fire secondarily is very helpful. Mages by far do the most damage using war magic, although she is susceptible to life bolts/rings also. She frequently dispels vulns casts on her. She drops one head and about 12 Carapace Shards.
;Adrien Swiftblade
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Greetings.  If you're of a mind to help in this odd situation, I could certainly use your help."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Along with the rise of these strange new Olthoi, there is a Portal, warded by powerful magics, which formed in the Black Death Catacombs. You may've seen it already, or you may not have."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Anyways, I've found a way to get the wards to drop for a time.  There is a Ward Guardian in a cave located in a heavily infested area nearby, around 43.6N, 55.5E.  When that thing dies, the wards falter for a time."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Be warned, however, the Ward Guardian has grown dramatically in strength since it first appeared.  It is now as strong or stronger than those twisted bugs that wander the inner areas of the infestation, and should not be taken lightly."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Once the Ward Guardian is dead, so you should be able to enter the Deeper Catacombs of the Paradox-touched Olthoi. Once in there, look for anything that may be of use to use in our research and bring it back to me."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "If, for some reason, the Portal is closed again when you get there, you should find the Ward Guardian in his cave and kill him again."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "I would hurry though, every time the Ward Guardian dies, it's either reborn, recreated, or whatever roughly six hours after its death, and the Wards return with it."


Anyone that dies can return quickly by going to a burrow east of the valley at 44.5N 57.3E. There is a portal inside behind a closed door that returns you immediately to the queen chamber (if it's been less than two hours since you handed a gland). The door is opened by using a Olthoi Cistern lever item in the far right corner of the queen room (someone will have to leave the ledge and run over to use the lever when someone is at the door waiting to get in). The queen respawns quickly so it is important that anyone that dies shortly before her death gets back quickly to loot a carapace (she spawns near the lever making it dangerous to use again if she has respawned).
;Defeating the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen
|As (Player) strikes the final blow against the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen, a piercing howl fills your mind. Amidst the horrifying noise in your skull, you hear the following words, "You may have stopped me for a time, but you will never be rid of me.  I am no simple insect that can be driven off or so simply destroyed.  My Master will rid the world of you pathetic meatbags, and we will usher a new age into this reality."


'''7. Rewards'''
;Handing in Carapace Shard to Ethan Wintermaine
|You give Ethan Wintermaine Carapace Shard.
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Ahh, you've killed her again.  Very good."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Please, allow me to reward you for your victory."
|You've earned 69,355,033 experience.
|Ethan Wintermaine gives you Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapon Token.
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Bring the token to one of the Olthoi Weaponcrafters in the valley below, and they'll exchange it for a weapon you may find very useful."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "If you're not interested in the weapon, I can take the token back and reward you with something else appropriate."
|Ethan Wintermaine gives you Braced Mana Forge Key.


Return to the valley Tent at 43.8N 54.9E and give the Carapace to Wintermaine for a token. The token can be given to Wintermaine for xp, or given to one of the NPCs in a rubble strewn side passage in the northermost burrow inside the valley. The NPCs hold the reward they give (the one holding the black shield gives a shield). The queen's head also goes to Wintermaine for xp and a title (Paradox-touched Queenslayer).
