Walk Through
- Head to Cragstone and talk to Arturus of the Eldrytch Web @ 26.3N 49.6E.
- Head to the Corrupted Catacombs @ 23.9S, 54.1E (Near Sawato).If you will be taking a group, you can tie to the surface portal just inside Swamp Ruin at 25.1S 52.1E to make a much shorter run.
- The place is somewhat of a maze so you might have to backtrack. Run through the dungeon (look for down ramps) until you find a Slimy Key
- Once you have the key, you need to backtrack to a big open room and on the far side is another ramp down, here you should find sclavus, once you get to the sclavus section stick right and keep heading down, you will pass a surface portal. On the right hand side will be a door, use the Slimy Key on the door to unlock it.
- Once through the door, grab a Corrupted Mana Shard from the pedistal.
- Return the shard to Arturus of the Eldrytch Web to be initiated into the Eldrytch Web faction.
- Use the Initiate's Treasure Key to loot one of the four chests inside the Eldrytch Web Stronghold (Armor Quartermaster's Chest, Equipment Quartermaster's Chest, Weapon Quartermaster's Chest, Researcher's Chest).
Note:
- The Corrupted Mana Shard will only last 1 hour before turning to dust so you must hand it in to Arturus of the Eldrytch Web within 1 hour of picking it up.
- Once initiated, you can now use the portal to the Eldrytch Web Stronghold located next to Arturus.
Lore & Dialog
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web tells you, "Greetings. My name is Arturus. It is my honor and duty to aid people who wish to join our Society to prove themselves and be properly initiated to our Society."
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web looks at some notes on a scroll.
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web tells you, "I see that you have aided Jondor Torgren in Zaikhal and met with our recruiter in Ayan Baqur to receive a copy of our manifesto."
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web tells you, "If you wish to join our Society, then I have a task for you, to prove your commitment. In the swamps of middle Osteth there is a cave. In that cave is the entrance to the Corrupted Catacombs. If you search around 23.9S, 54.1E, you should find the entrance."
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web tells you, "In those catacombs, you'll find a Corrupted Mana Shard. Retrieve the Shard and bring it to me, and your test will be complete."
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web tells you, "Be warned, once you have the Shard, it'll be rather unstable, and will last only an hour before it turns to dust. I'll cast a spell on you that will protect you from the corruption of the Shard. I wouldn't recommend touching it without the protections."
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web chants briefly, and then touches your brow.
Arturus of the Eldrytch Web tells you, "There, you should now be able to carry the Corrupted Mana Shard safely."
