Quest Overview

• In order to access the version of Mar'uun that is not destroyed, and thus this quest, you must complete the Portal Space Time Travel quest.

Walk Through

1. Talk to Marcus Manfried and he will direct you to Kaywin, who will give you a Rift Opening Device and Rift Closing Device.
2. Now start looking for a Portalspace Rift, which appears on the floor as a little vent of colored gas. They are found all over Mar'uun, not just near the Test Portal area. They disappear after a short time (due to a decay timer) but always appear in the same places.
   Some known places of specific rifts:
   • Fire: At the portal drop into town, one is in the hallway in front of you, and one is behind the bar on your right.
   • Frost: One is behind the northern screen in the furnished room, and one is near Kaywin in the little nook across from the stabilizing machines.
   • Acid: One is in the hallway near Kaywin, and one is under the stairs in the portal space research area.
   • Electricity: One is next to the exit portal near the entrance, one is in Mar'uun's main circle hall, at a bend to the left of the entrance hallway, and one is in the furnished room behind the southern screen.
3. When you see one stand near it and use the Rift Opening Device and you will be portaled into the elemental plane of the elemental rift you used.
4. When you land in a room use your Rift Closing Device to initiate a spawn of elemental creatures. Kill all of them and a Elemental Zenith will spawn. Kill it and you will be portaled back to Mar'uun.
   • If the Zenith does not spawn for you once you kill all the elemetals simply use the Rift Closing Device again and it should appear.
5. Repeat the steps above for 3 more elements until you have done all four then talk to Marcus for your experience reward and a Mana Forge Key.

Lore & Dialog

Opening dialog from Wren:

Wren the Curious tells you, "I can't even start to tell you how much we appreciate all the help we've received from the great adventurers of Dereth."

Wren the Curious tells you, "Marcus changed our experiments thanks to the information we received from the Arcanum though it wasn't all in time."

Wren the Curious tells you, "We've been left with rifts coming through trying to merge the elemental planes with our own."

Wren the Curious tells you, "Luckily we're only dealing with the base four elements and we can control this."

Opening dialog from Marcus:

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Our experiments opened rifts to the elemental planes."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "We need to seal these rifts..."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "I've commissioned the creation of several items to my specifications."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Go see Kaywin and she'll provide you with what you need."

Opening dialog from Kaywin:

Kaywin tells you, "Oh, I see you're here for Marcus's latest requests."

Kaywin tells you, "Truely wonderful gadgets."

Kaywin gives you Rift Opening Device.

Kaywin tells you, "One is used to open rifts. It's a crazy sight to behold... you'll be ripped directly into the rift."

Kaywin gives you Rift Closing Device.

Using the Rift Opening Device near a Portalspace Rift:

Portalspace Rift teleports you with Portalspace Rift.

---

Using the Rift Closing Device inside the elemental plane:

The rift expands as elemental creatures flow out.

Killing a Acid (Wisp) or Acid (Elemental):

Acid dissipates into the surroundings. The sour taste of acid lingers in the atmosphere.

---

Killing a Fire (Wisp) or Fire (Elemental):

Fire dissipates into the surroundings. The atmosphere warms and your flesh blisters.

---

Killing a Frost (Wisp) or Frost (Elemental):

Frost dissipates into the surroundings. The atmosphere cools and a chill numbs you to the core.

---

Killing a Electric (Wisp) or Electric (Elemental):

Electric dissipates into the surroundings. A charge lingers in the atmosphere striking at exposed surfaces.

---

Killing a Zenith:

As the elemental creature collapses you feel space fold in on itself. It feels like your gut turned inside out as you're ripped back through portal space.

---

Reward dialog:

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Excellent, you've closed all the rifts."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "The Arcanum has given these to reward those who aid our call for help."

Marcus Manfried gives you Mana Forge Key.

You've earned 100,000,000 experience.

Marcus Manfried tells you, "This won't be the end of the rifts. By my calculations you'll be able to assist us again in over six days time."

You hand over 1 of your Rift Opening Devices.

You hand over 1 of your Rift Closing Devices.

Speaking to Marcus after completion:

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Any further exposure may cause catastrophic consequences."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "My calculations say that you'll have to wait at least six days from your last exposure to the elemental planes."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Adventurers into the elemental planes act as an anchor, rooting it. Any one individual spending too much time in the elemental planes will cause it to become coterminous with our own plane."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Trust me, that's something we don't want but we must close these rifts..."

Marcus Manfried tells you, "Luckily we stopped our experiments before we tapped into any planes beyond the four basic elemental planes."
