Quest Overview
This quest is a parallel to the original olthoi queen quest...but on steroids. Players must again destroy the 5 Menhir Rings, and be "sprayed" by olthoi to gain access to the queens lair. Players will be facing olthoi that breath lightning instead of acid, and high level virindi, as well as void-casting olthoi grubs.
This quest is limited to 9 players. There are only 9 carapaces on the Olthoi Hive Queen.
Walk Through
Begin this quest by speaking to the Virindi Delegate at 43.3N, 66.7W in Greenspire.
Part 1: Crafting the Tuning Forks
Note: One person with Lockpick is required to complete this part of the quest. You will also need to bring one or two Astyrrian's Jewels to protect yourself from the Galvanic Chest, which casts a devastating Galvanic Bomb when opened.
- Head to the Chiming Portal at 45.0N, 73.5W, located on Marae Lassel.
- Inside the dungeon you will need to collect the parts to assemble 5 Tuning Forks. The dungeon is full of Virindi Clandestine, Olthoi Hive Noble, Olthoi Hive Soldier, and Olthoi Hive Piercer that use lightning damage.
- The dungeon is a giant circle with an inner and outer circle. The outer circle has two Galvanic Chests to the east and west. Keep hugging the left wall until you reach each particular Galvanic Chest.
- WARNING: When these chests open, they cast Galvanic Bomb; a ring spell that does 200-1000 points of electric damage.
- You must loot 5 Bar of Curved Metal from the Galvanic Chest in the West room. And 5 Metal Pipe from the Galvanic Chest in the East room.
- Note Its suggested to that you run back-and-forth to each room instead of waiting for the item to respawn in the chest.
- Once you have five of each item, combine each one to create 5 Tuning Forks.
- + =
- The metal pipe attaches easily to the bar of curved metal...almost too easily.
Part 2: Breaking the Rings
Note: These are the same 5 rings that are used with the Bells and the original Olthoi Queen.
- 5 people must each have 1 Tuning Fork, and wait at their assigned Menhir Ring.
- Hand a Tuning Fork to the Aun Drummer to break the Menhir Rings.
- Each ring must be broken in order as follows:
- Ring #1 - 53.0N, 73.3W - Aun Kahmaula
- Ring #2 - 49.2N, 74.6W - Aun Gehaua
- Ring #3 - 46.5N, 75.8W - Aun Tanaua
- Ring #4 - 44.7N, 80.9W - Aun Laiaua
- Ring #5 - 50.1N, 80.4W - Aun Aanaua
- It will take five minutes after dropping a Fork before the next drummer spawns.
- If you try within the 3 weeks, you will obtain the title "Out of Tune". In addition, any character that drops a bell will not have access to Timaru for 3 weeks.
Part 3: West Fork Dam Hive (Getting Sprayed)
- Head to the West Fork Dam Hive at 49.1N, 80.0W.
- Note: The olthoi in here have recklessness and sneak attack. Watch your back.
- Inside the dungeon, work your way down until you find the Western Royal Hive Portal.
- Clear out the room until everyone has received the message about the olthoi exploding and you being covered in goo. Once you have gotten this message, you are flagged to enter the Western Royal Hive.
- You run Olthoi Hive Eviscerator through!
- The Hive Eviscerator explodes in a geyser of acid, spraying you from head to toe! You currently reek of Olthoi secretions. Fortunately, this will fade away in about two hours.
- You run Olthoi Hive Eviscerator through!
Part 4: Western Royal Hive
- This section contains 3 series of various Hive creatures. These sections are optional, but completing them means less creatures spawn with the Olthoi Hive Queen. These sections can be done separately. If you wish to skip the 3 series, advanced to Queen's Quarters.
- Origins Test: Head East and then north until you come to a larger room with 2 Hive Guradians (one is a virindi, the other is an Olthoi Hive Guradian). Kill the Olthoi Hive Guradians and loot the Guardian Warrior's Key. Use it to open the door and jump across to the Origins Portal.
- Inside the Origins Portal you will find an Hive Olthoi Egg and some Olthoi Hive Crawlers. Kill the Hive Olthoi Egg and you will receive green text about the queen screaming in anger. Take the exit portal and it will return you to the initial drop point for the Western Royal Hive
- Grub Test: Head west until you come to another large room with a virindi and Olthoi Hive Guradian. Again, kill the Olthoi Hive Guradian and loot the Guardian Soldier's Key. Open the door and jump across to the Grubs Portal
- The grubs test finds you in a room with a multitude of high level void-casting Olthoi Hive Crawlers. Simply kill the Olthoi Hive Crawlers until a Hive Maggot Giant spawns, kill the Hive Maggot Giant and you will get a green message about them exploding in a burst of acid and guts. Take the exit portal to return to the Western Royal Hive drop point.
- Virindi Test: Head west again, but instead of going all the way west, head north when possible until you come to another large room. Again kill the 2 Olthoi Hive Guradians, and loot the Guardian Soldier's Key from the Olthoi Hive Guradian. Open the door, and jump across to the portal.
- The virindi test consists of a large open room filled with Virindi Clandestine and a Virindi Sentinel. Kill the Virindi Sentinel to trigger a green text message. After the Virindi Sentinel dies, take the Western Royal Hive portal back to the initial drop point.
- Queen's Quarters: Head east again, but this time turn south, until you come to the 4th and final room, again with 2 Olthoi Hive Guradians. Kill them, loot the Guardian Soldier's Key, and jump across to the portal.
Part 5: Queen's Quarters
- The Queen's Quarters is a series of T intersections, some of which lead further into the dungeon, but the majority of which lead simply to dead end rooms. Make your way going down whenever possible.
- Route to Portal: West > North > West > West > North and down the ramp > East > South to the end of the hall > West and down ramp > North > East > North then take the 1st right (East) down the ramp > The gates will be ahead
- Beyond these gates is a room with a portal to the room with the queen. This is the last safe spot to buff.
- Note: The drop is hot. Once you go in, there is no way to get back short of running through the entire Queen's Quarters dungeon.
Part 6: Olthoi Hive Queen
- Upon entering you will be swarmed by Olthoi Hive Warrior, Olthoi Hive Piercer, Olthoi Hive Soldier, and Olthoi Hive Eviscerator.
- Kill your way to the middle of the room and defeat the fake Olthoi Hive Queen. When she dies, a green message will appear, and the real Olthoi Hive Queen will spawn.
- Kill the queen and use Olthoi Hive Queen's Remains to receive the Olthoi Hive Queen's head - for the killer - or a carapace.
- When everyone has the head or Olthoi Hive Queen Carapace, take the Queen's Treasury portal and give the item to the Virindi Delegate for 40,000 Luminance, XP, and a 5 use Legendary Key.
