== Quest Overview ==
[[Category:Disambiguation]]
Enter Gaerlan's Citadel and defeat him. 
 
This is a classic quest from the early years of Asheron's Call.  It features a lot of lore and was accompanied by many related live events.  11 years after its release, a higher difficulty version (level 150+) of the quest was introduced during the [[Seeds of Hope]] event.  This quest is commonly referred to as "G-Man". 
 
This quest features several regular dungeons, puzzle dungeons, and a challenging boss.  It tends to be buggy when interacting with the various NPCs, so it is recommended to line up and complete all NPC interactions one at a time in order to avoid someone not getting an item/flagged/etc.
 
There are 5 different difficulty levels for this quest, although due to level restrictions on portals, it is not typical that any but the 150+ version are completed regularly.  The item rewards for this quest use an interesting rotational mechanic.  Based on the skills your character has trained and specialized, you will receive a specific item.  Completing the quest numerous times gives additional different items based on your skills, with the sequence of items starting over once you have gotten them all once.  In this way, the rewards are customized for each player.
 
To complete one of the trials, someone in your group '''must''' use a missile weapon.  There is a destroyable door which can only be killed by missile weapons.  If you are attempting the quest solo and are not a missile weapons user, you can bring a [[Runed Weapons|Runed Weapon]].  Don't forget plenty of ammunition as well.
 
== Walk Through ==
'''A Note About Return Portals:''' Prior to starting the quest, it is good to make sure everyone knows there are a pair of bunkers in [[Eastham]] (at approximately 17.1N, 63.0E) that contain many portals related to this quest.  They were added for the purpose of getting back into the appropriate sections in case of death or loss of connection.  Portals exist for the Ziggurats, Proving Grounds and the Citadel Library.  If you die or lose connection, you can use the Eastham portal in the [[Town Network]] and run to the bunkers for easy re-entry.  Each player is flagged for each portal when you enter that dungeon during the quest.  This flagging lasts until the quest is completed by each player and does not have an expiration timer.
 
=== Part 1: Guardian Lair ===
# Enter to the Guardian Lair appropriate to your level range.  Note that the portals for each are in completely different locations.
#* For level 20-39, use the [[Frost Guardian Lair]] at 52.8N, 62.4E.
#** Route: Take the [[Sennon Valley Retreat]] portal at 32.9N, 59.4E from [[Arwic]].
#* For level 40-59, use the [[Fire Guardian Lair]] at 73.5N, 3.2W.
#** Route: Take the [[Anadil (Settlement)|Anadil]] portal at 66.3N, 14.3E from [[Crater Village]].
#* For level 60-79, use the [[Acid Guardian Lair]] at 30.5S, 74.3W.
#** Route: Give [[sake]] to the [[Drunken Madman]] outside of [[Baishi]] at 53.1S, 61.0E and take the portal he summons.  Alternately, use Mount Lethe Recall or have someone tie to the [[Sclavus Cathedral]] portal 33.4S, 80.1W.
#* For level 80-149, use the [[Lightning Guardian Lair]] at 86.7S, 10.4E.
#** Route: Take the [[Artifice Cottages]] portal at 32.9N, 59.4E from [[Arwic]].
#* For level 150+ use the [[Prismatic Guardian Lair]] at 10.9N 81.2W.
#** Route: Run from the Northwest Direlands portal from the Aerlinthe drop.  Alternately, have someone tie to the [[Black Spawn Den]] in the northern Dires.
# In the dungeon, work your way to the bottom where you'll find a boss golem for your level range.  The dungeon itself is not very large.
# Kill the boss golem and take the portal that spawns at the top of the ramp to be portaled outside to [[Citadel Valley]].
 
=== Part 2: Ziggurat ===
# Jump down off the cliff and run southeast to 57.8N, 48.4E, where you'll find [[Asheron's Platinum Golem]].
# Line up and speak with [[Asheron's Platinum Golem]] one at a time and you'll receive an [[Imbued Pyreal Nugget]].
# From here, run southwest and enter the Ziggurat portal near 57.1N, 47.8E that matches your level range.  They are color coordinated for the level ranges.
#* 20-39 is the [[Lightning Ziggurat]]. 40-59 is the [[Acid Ziggurat]]. 60-79 is the [[Fire Ziggurat]].  80-149 is the [[Frost Ziggurat]]. 150+ is the [[Prismatic Ziggurat]].
#* '''Note:''' From this point onward, you may use the Ziggurat portal appropriate for your level range in the bunkers south of Eastham.
# This dungeon is the longest one on the quest and has many rooms connected in a maze-like pattern.
# Work your way through this dungeon, always going up, until you reach a [[Platinum Golem#NPC|Platinum Golem (NPC)]].
#* '''Note:''' For the 150+ version, the greatest danger in this dungeon are the Frost Wisp enemies.  They cast level 8 vulns and war magic.  Without good protection against cold, you can easily be killed in 1-2 hits when vulned.  Use caution and dispel vulns if possible.
# Hand the [[Platinum Golem#NPC|Platinum Golem (NPC)]] your [[Imbued Pyreal Nugget]], and then enter the Proving Grounds portal located next to him.
#* '''Note:''' From this point onward, you may use the Proving Grounds portal appropriate for your level range in the bunkers in Eastham.
 
=== Part 3: Proving Grounds ===
Inside the proving grounds, you must tackle a series of trials:
 
==== Trial #1: The Riddle ====
# Speak with the [[Tribunal]] located in the center of the room, and you'll be given a riddle.
# To answer the riddle, use the statue that corresponds with the right answer. If correct, you'll receive a blue [[Seal Fragment]] and be portaled to the [[Rolling Ball of Death|Rolling Balls of Death]].

==== Trial #2: Rolling Balls of Death ====
# In this trial you must avoid the infamous [[Rolling Ball of Death|Rolling Balls of Death]].  Getting hit is an instant trip to the lifestone.  The balls roll down the long hallway and beyond a destroyable door.  Balls also roll down each of the cross hallways.
# Take a moment to identify the pattern, and when ready, move through the dungeon, only stopping at the safe spots (alcove corners) until you reach the last alcove.
#* '''Note:''' The only safe spots to stand inside this dungeon are on the 45 degree angles that are the corners of the alcoves.
# Once you get to the last safe spot before the long hallway, you'll see a door.  Use missile weapons to destroy the door and then run into the room on the far side.
#* '''Note:''' The door is immune to all magic.  Summons can kill it, but you might have difficulty getting a summon to go and attack the door without moving from one of the safe spots.  Melee weapons work on the door, but there is not enough time between rolling balls to destroy the door.
# After the door has been destroyed, carefully make your way to the end of the room and loot an orange [[Seal Fragment]] from the chest on the south wall.
# After looting, carefully cross the room to the portal.  The balls roll through the room, so be aware of where they are when crossing.  Use the Proving Grounds portal on the north wall.
 
==== Trial #3: Floor Puzzle ====
# The floor puzzle contains a series of tiles that contain a hidden path to the other side. If you step on a wrong tile you'll fall through and be forced to start over.
# The puzzle can be skipped entirely by hugging the left wall and running to the other side of the room.  If you do this, skip to the last step for this trial.
# If you are navigating your way through the floor puzzle:
## From the left side of the room, walk on to the ''Fire'' tile to start.
## Move north 3 spaces to the 3rd ''Frost'' tile.
## Move east 4 spaces to ''Fire'' tile.
## Move north 1 space to the ''Frost'' tile.
## Move east 2 spaces to the ''Acid'' tile.
## Move north 2 spaces to the ''Frost'' tile.
## Move west 1 space to the ''Acid'' tile.
## Move north and exit the puzzle.
# Enter the room to the north and loot a green [[Seal Fragment]] from the chest on the east wall, then use the Proving Grounds portal on the northwest corner.
 
==== Trial #4: Reverence of the Ceremony ====
::<font color="green">Reverence must be shown during a ceremony.</font>
# The key to this riddle is to '''''NOT TALK''''' in open chat. If you do, you'll have to start over and fight your way through a series of golems.  This includes spellcasting and anything that your character says openly.  Fellow chat and global channels are still fine.
#* '''Note:''' This mechanic has been broken/bugged for a long time and will likely not portal you if you say anything.  Feel free to test it if feeling ambitious.
# Run through the linear dungeon and loot a purple [[Seal Fragment]] from the chest at the end of the hall, then use the [[Citadel Valley]] portal to complete the Trials.
 
=== Part 4: Citadel Library ===
# Combine the the blue and orange [[Seal Fragment]]s to create a [[Combined Seal Fragment]].
#* {{Icon Formula|Seal Fragment (Blue)|Seal Fragment (Orange)|Combined Seal Fragment (Blue-Orange)}}
# Combine the green and purple [[Seal Fragment]]s to create another [[Combined Seal Fragment]].
#* {{Icon Formula|Seal Fragment (Green)|Seal Fragment (Purple)|Combined Seal Fragment (Green-Purple)}}
# Combine the 2 [[Combined Seal Fragment]]s to create an [[Ornate Seal]].
#* {{Icon Formula|Combined Seal Fragment (Blue-Orange)|Combined Seal Fragment (Green-Purple)|Ornate Seal}}
#: <font color="green">The larger fragments fit together to create an Ornate Seal.</font>
# Return to [[Asheron's Platinum Golem]] at 57.8N, 48.4E and line up to hand him your [[Ornate Seal]] to receive an [[Imbued Ornate Seal]] and a [[Citadel Portal Gem]].  Again it is best to do this one at a time to prevent bugging.
# Use the [[Citadel Portal Gem]] to be portaled to the ''Citadel Surface'' nearby.
# Hand your [[Imbued Ornate Seal]] to any [[Ornate Pillar]] on the structure to be portaled to the [[Citadel Library]]:
#: <font color="cornflowerblue">Ornate Pillar teleports you with Citadel Library.</font>
#* <font color=red>'''Note:'''</font> From this point onward, you may use the Citadel Library portal in the bunkers in Eastham.
# At the drop, you will be in a room filled with tall staircases.  This room is filled with many bookcases which give books if used (lore purposes only).
# Use the east facing staircase just to your left and take it all the way to the platform at the top of the dungeon.
# At the top, take the appropriate level/color portal at the very top to be portaled to final part of the quest.
#*  20-39 will use the [[Icy Demise]] portal, 40-59 will use the [[Fiery Consumption]] portal, 60-79 will use the [[Entropic Decay]] portal, 80+ will use the [[Electric Destruction]] portal, and 150+ will use the [[Prismatic Devastation]] portal.
 
=== Part 5: Gaerlan ===
# From the drop, follow the linear dungeon through 2 rooms with a few enemies and doors that must be opened.  You will then reach a catwalk, from which you can see [[Gaerlan]] himself in the large room below.
# Fully debuff and fester [[Gaerlan]], and then kill him with Pierce or Slash weapons.
#* '''Tip:''' A common strategy is have melee players form a ''melee wall'' on the catwalk or in the doorway.  This way mages and archers can attack from a somewhat safe distance.  The other enemies in the room can be killed or ignored as desired.
#* '''Note 1:''' If anyone dies during the battle, they can get back by using the appropriate Citadel Library portal in Eastham.  This will drop them back in the staircase room where they will have to run back up the stairs and use the portal, then through the 2 rooms to get back.
#* '''Note 2:''' Gaerlan has incredibly high heath regeneration.  If attempting to solo, casting [[Decrepitude's Grasp]] or [[Incantation of Fester Other]] is a must.  The most difficult part of killing is doing enough damage to overcome his regen.
# Once Gaerlan is dead and vanishes, quickly take the portal to [[Gaerlan's Inner Sanctum]] that spawns in the room under the catwalk.  Using the portal is what flags you to receive rewards.
#:<font color="green"><Player Name> has defeated Gaerlan's electric/prismatic aspect. As the illusion crumbles away a deep voice thunders over the world, "A doomed eternity to relive this life. Stasis within the walls of a crystalline prison. How could I have fallen to you vermin. Nuhmudira, my revenge upon you shall be as painful as yours upon me."</font>
# The final dungeon has no enemies.  From the drop head up the ramp to the south, take your first 2 lefts, and then your first right.
# At the T intersection, take either direction and run until you reach a pit of acid or fire. Jump down into the room with [[Gaerlan's Phylacteric Prison]].
# Use [[Gaerlan's Phylacteric Prison]] to receive experience, luminance (150+ only) and the following rewards:
#* An [[Elemental Master Robe]].  The player who got the kill on Gaerlan will receive a black version, all others will get a red version. 
#* An [[Iasparailaun]] or [[Modified Iasparailaun]] (150+ version only).  This sword can be placed on a housing hook or given to an [[Agent of the Arcanum]] for 2 [[MM]] notes or 5 [[MMD]]s (150+), as well as experience and the title "Gaerlan Slayer".
#** Note that despite the item's description, it cannot be wielded by Empyrean characters.  This item pre-dates Empyrean being a selectable character class and was never intended to be wieldable by players.
#* A specific reward item based on your trained and specialized skills. See the table below.
# '''<font color="green">[OPTIONAL]</font>''' Take the [[Citadel Apex]] portal on the south wall and loot [[Martine's Mask]] and [[Martine's Robe]] lying on the top of the tower.  Note that there is no return portal to get back.

==== Notes on Item Rewards ====
* The first time you complete the quest, you will receive the item with the highest skill credit cost which you have trained (or specialized).  Repeat runs will give the next item in the list according to the skills you currently have trained.  After getting all the possible items for your trained skills, the rewards will cycle and you start from the top of the list again.
* As this is a very old quest, the reward items were designed around the weapon skills at the time of its release.  When the Heavy, Finesse, Light, and Missile weapon skills were introduced, the items were re-grouped according to their assigned weapon skill.
* It is assumed that [[Weapon Mastery]] is used to determine which weapon is received for the weapon skills with multiple items.  A player with a bow mastery would not receive the crossbow weapon.  However, this has not been thoroughly tested.
* The exact priority order of skills of equal skill credit cost has not been extensively tested.
* The Dauloirae shield was originally rewarded for the Melee Defense skill, as it existed before there was a Shield skill.  This was changed after the Shield skill was introduced.
* It is believed that there is a "programmed rewards sequence" which the character is evaluated against when getting rewards.  If skills are trained or dropped between completions of the quest, it will not change your current position in the rewards sequence.  This means that you will get the next reward item down the list, even if you have trained a new skill that costs more skill credits than the next one.  Conversely, it means dropping a skill that would effect the next reward will skip over that item.  Again this is all theory and has not been heavily tested for accuracy.
* The Taulandoi caster comes in 4 elemental versions.  However, only 1 is given as part of the War Magic item reward.  As a result, the entire sequence of rewards for a character must be cycled before getting another Taulandoi of a different element.  In order to get one of all 4 varieties, a player would likely need to complete the quest 10-15 times!
* Based on the above notes, some of the weapon rewards are extremely rare to find due to the general unpopularity of light and finesse weapons and the need to complete the quest many times to get all items.
