Lady Jaera's Tomb Quest

Type: Solo
Starts At: ??

Quest Overview

In its heyday this quest offered great singularity level loot; however, recently it has been updated with more powerful creatures and now the tomb contains Jaera's Wand, which can be handed in for a Braced Mana Forge Key.

This quest involves lots of lever pulling, so it helps to scout the different areas first and view the map, otherwise it can get quite confusing. Lockpick is required for this quest.

Walk Through

Part 1: The Burial Temple

This part is optional; if you don't want the 66 million xp, you can head straight to the Mage Academy.

  1. [Optional] Speak to Tazal al-Ashfai just outside of Al-Jalima at 6.1N, 3.5E.
  2. He will ask you to go to the Burial Temple nearby at 8.5N, 6.0E and retrieve a black gem for him from the creature known as Kelannik.
  3. When inside the temple, take the east passage and jump down. Now head to the end of the corridor and through a false wall. At the intersection head straight on through a room with Skeletons and at the T junction take a right.
  4. In the next room go left and around to a lever, use it and then take the north passage continuing on through two rooms - take the first left down the ramp and open the door. You will come to another door that is now open, inside this room is Lord Kelannik and his two guards.
  5. Defeat Kelannik and loot the Black Gem and Cursed Key. Take the exit portal just outside the room and run back to Tazal al-Ashfai.
  6. Hand Tazal the Black Gem for 66,000,000 experience and he will attempt to summon the portal Kelannik uses...

Part 2: The Mage Academy

Lockpick skill is needed for this part of the quest. If you can open a 750 difficulty door then you can skip straight to part 2b.
Route: From the Town Network head to Neydisa Castle (south hall) and then run to 74.7N, 18.5E.

Part 2a: Levers 1 - 4 (Stone Key/Old Key)
  1. From the drop room make a mental note of the lever to your right for later and head down the ramp hugging the left wall. You need to take the third turn off to the east on level 6 (see map).
  2. You should come to a room with an Empyrean Statue and Masonry Golem behind a lever activated door.
  3. Leave this area and turn right heading southwest and then turn left at the T into a room with Zefirs. Kill the Xekrit Zefir Guardian for the Stone Key.
  4. Now head west down the hall to the room opposite with 3 levers. Hit the wall levers only (center lever #3 releases the Masonry Golem) and run back (left wall hug) to the ramp and up to the portal drop room to pull that lever you saw earlier.
  5. Now head down again, but this time take the second turn off to the west (level 4) and through the floor plate activated door. Take a right and then left into the corridor and joining room.
  6. Kill the Banderling Smashers here and loot the corpses until you find the Old Key.
Part 2b: Lever 5 and the Sewers
  1. Now you have the old key, run back to the ramp and head down and and unlock the wooden door for lever 4 (lvl 8 on the map).
    • Note: There are locked metal gates on either end of the corridor opposite this lever. The next lever (5) opens the large metal sewer doors in the room beyond.
  2. Pull the lever and run back up the ramp to the third turn off with the Banderling Smasher. Turn right and then left and unlock the door using the old key.
  3. Inside the next room is a gate that requires lockpicking and the door you just opened beyond that with the lever to door 5 and a Masonry Golem.
  4. Pull lever 5 and run back to the gates near the wooden door. Unlock one of the gates and head into the sewer area.
  5. Head east at the junction around to a locked metal door on your left - use the Cursed Key to open it.
  6. Go up the ramp and stick to the path ignoring all the smaller side rooms. You will cross bridges that pass through a number of areas, hop from the final ledge into the east passage and then jump down into a room with a surface portal and Zombie Mage.
  7. Here you find the library where Rytheran's Apprentice awaits. Defeat him and take Rytheran's Key and Sheets of Paper for translation. Now you have Rytheran's Key you need to make your way to Lady Jaera's Tomb.
  8. Use the surface portal and reenter the academy, go back to the room with the statue and the golem behind a lever door (third room down). Go south east and hug the left wall until you reach a room with pillars and a Black Coral Golem guarding a door.
  9. Kill the Golem and use the Stone Key on the door. There are lightning traps in this room, dispatch the two Golems here.
  10. Use Rytheran's Key on Lady Jaera's Tomb and loot Lady Jaera's Wand.
  11. Bring the wand to Tazal al-Ashfai for 115,000,000 xp and a Braced Mana Forge Key.

Short Version

  1. Skip part 1 with the Burial Temple for the 66 million xp and make your way straight to the Mage Academy.
  2. Jump up where it says "You may jump on monsters then on bridge from here" on the map to bypass the lever pulling and the majority of the quest.
  3. Jump across south and then down past the portal, kill Rytheran's Apprentice and loot Rytheran's key.
  4. Kill the Xekrit Zefir Guardian for the Stone Key if you don't have lockpick (door is diff. 500), and unlock the door to the tomb room.
  5. Use Rytheran's Key on Lady Jaera's Tomb and loot Lady Jaera's Wand.
  6. Bring the wand to Tazal al-Ashfai for 115,000,000 xp and a Braced Mana Forge Key.

Kuyiza bint Zayi looks slightly troubled.

Kuyiza bint Zayi the Translator tells you, "There you are. This was gained from a powerful Revenant you say? He would appear to have been several millenia old! I wonder if there are others of his antiquity still walking Dereth?"
