Walk Through
The quest begins in Cragstone with Oswent the Pale. Oswent is located just outside the smithy and is wearing an outfit similar to the Whispering Blade uniform. In order to start this quest you must have completed the Bur Recall quest also given by Oswent. If you have not done the Bur Recall quest recently you may need to repeat it.
Oswent the Pale tells you, "You've investigated the matter of the Lord Kresovus impostor to my satisfaction."
Oswent the Pale tells you, "I have another mission for you that may prove far more dangerous, but your people need you."
Oswent the Pale tells you, "Deliver this Royal Summons to Kresovus. He will have to accompany you if he wishes to keep his cover. When you and the imposter are away from Linvak and alone you must dispose of him."
Oswent the Pale gives you Royal Summons.
Speaking to him again will give you a bit of bonus lore.
Oswent the Pale tells you, "Have you delivered the Royal Summons to the Lord Kresovus imposter?"
Oswent the Pale tells you, "Be sure that you have him alone before you attack. We wouldn't want the Lugians of Linvak Tukal believing we were trying to assassinate their Leader. I believe once the imposter is dead we can prove to the Lugians their Leader has been missing since the attacks on Linvak Tukal began."
Now head to Linvak Tukal. You can find a portal to there in Yaraq. While you are there you may wish to speak to Kifandal the Imbuer and buy some Linvak Tukal portal gems. When you are ready head up to Lord Kresovus and present him with the Royal Summons.
You give Lord Kresovus Royal Summons.
Kresovus reads the summons. You suspect you see a small smirk flit across his face.
Lord Kresovus tells you, "I cannot speak of this here. There is a spy in my court and I fear for my life. You must meet with me in secret below. Use the chest here to access the chambers beneath Linvak Tukal. I will meet you there.
You place your hand on the chest, and it rumbles open, revealing the purple light of portalspace...
You will be portaled into a dungeon similar to in layout to the dungeon from the Bur Recall quest. In the first room is Lord Kresovus.
Lord Kresovus says, "Your interference is at an end. Just like the spy they sent to watch me you will never be found."
Lord Kresovus says, "I can't believe they thought you would be able to remove me from Linvak Tukal! Was it Oswent? He only found out about my meeting place here because I needed a distraction in order to fulfill an agreement my master made with the undead. A certain animal was painstakingly modified for them."
Kresovus waves his hand and a number of Lugian Guards file into the room.
Lord Kresovus says, "Kill him."
Kill the guards and the false Kresovus. Then take down the door and portal in to the next area. In this next room you will find an altar with a piece of Balor's Hide on top of it. Take the hide and then use the altar to open the nearby door. Work your way through the halls, fighting the Abyssal Shadow Lugians to enter the portal to the first trial.
Trial of the Arm
You will again enter a hallway leading to a large room. In the center of the room is a large boulder. It is attackable, and when destroyed a hallway is revealed underneath it. Right below the boulder in the hallway is the corpse of Phlynt, the lugian Oswent sent to spy on Shadow Kresovus. Open his corpse and loot the Phial of Chorizite and the Hidden Note. Then continue down the hallway. You will find a large room with Shadow Kresovus and some of his minions.
Shadow Kresovus tells you, "So you've found the Lugian Trial Rooms have you? Funny thing, that spy they sent me didn't last too long down here. Perhaps you think you can do better? Let's see how you handle these."
Shadow Kresovus says, "You have won this small victory, but I am hardly defeated. Continue at your own risk human."
When you defeat this Shadow Kresovus enter the portal in the hallway behind him to enter the next trial.
Trial of the Mind
Confirmation needed on the information regarding the puzzle.
Once again you are portaled into the same style chambers. Head down to the open room for your next task. In the center of the room is the Pillar of the Mind. Read it's description closely, as you will need this information to solve the puzzle. When you are ready, use the pillar to begin your first attempt. You have 5 minutes to attempt the puzzle, and 3 attempts total.
When you use the pillar, several stones, 3 bags, and a scale will spawn to the sides of the pillar. There are four red stones, 3 yellow stones, and 3 white stones. North of the Pillar are three bags laying west to east. To the east of the pillar is a scale. This scale has two buckets, one on the north side, the other on the south.
The goal of the puzzle can be confusing:
Each color stone has a weight, this information is on the Pillar of the Mind. Red Stone = 3, Yellow Stone = 2, White Stone = 1. You want to get each bag to contain only one color stone, and each bag contain a different color stone. The weight in the bags must always stay even, so when you correctly add stones, an equal weight of different colored stones will be removed from the bag and given to you.
You will know you have solved the bag puzzle when one bag contains 3 red stones, one contains 3 yellow stones, and one contains 3 white stones. When you have solved the bag puzzle you can move on to the scale puzzle, which will use up your remaining stones.
The scales are simple compaired to the bags. The north bucket says in its description what to do. Once you have solved that, the rest of your stones go into the south bucket.

When you have solved the puzzle, enter the door and head down the hall to the next portal. But watch out!
You begin to enter the portal and are suddenly knocked backwards into the room. A dark figure and several Virindi emerge from the portal
Another Shadow Kresovus will appear, this time with Virindi minions. Destroy him and you will be allowed to enter the portal to the next trial.
Trial of the Heart
text from Pillar of the heart needed.
In this next dungeon you will find the Pillar of the Heart. You must answer its question before you may advance. It asks you to pick the thing which Lugians value most. Enter a nearby hallway lined with rooms. Each room contains several items which a lugian may value. When you think you have found the correct item, use it (items cannot be picked up) and return to the pillar.

The correct answer will open the large door infront of the pillar. Head down the hallway and you will find Shadow Kresovus and the real Kresovus trapped in an energy cage! Defeat this Shadow and set the real Kresovus free.
Your blow knocks a small crystal from Shadow Kresovus' pocket. It falls to the floor and shatters in a bright flash. The energy cage surrounding Lord Kresovus seems to wane.
Shadow Kresovus says, "Why won't you just die?!"
Shadow Kresovus growls in frustration and leaps through the portal to the next room.
Lord Kresovus says, "Free me!"
You give Energy Cage Phial of Chorizite.
The energy cage surrounding Lord Kresovus bursts apart in a magical discharge.
Kresovus heaves a sigh of relief and gives you an appraising look.
Lord Kresovus tells you, "Thank you. I must ask that you defeat my imposter alone. I am not strong enough to fight him now. Please follow him and insure he troubles us no more."
Lord Kresovus tells you, "Good luck my friend."
Kresovus makes a sweeping gesture recalling to his lifestone.
Now enter the final portal and defeat Shadow Kresovus at last.
Shadow Kresovus grins, his black teeth grinding, "Congratulations on completing the Trials of the Arm, Mind and Heart human. Perhaps you would make a better Lugian than I, but we shall never find out. For now it is time that you die."
This Shadow Kresovus has some power war spells, including a lightning ring and the health draining black mist clouds that Tusker Imps leave behind when they die. He will also summon Virindi, shadow, and shadow Lugian minions to defend him. When you defeat him loot the Sigil of Linvak Tukal. Then return to Linvak Tukal and present Lord Kresovus with the Sigil.
Rewards
You give Lord Kresovus Sigil of Linvak Tukal.
Lord Kresovus heaves a great sigh. "Thank you for freeing me <Player Name>. I owe you a great deal."
Lord Kresovus gives you Powdered Chorizite Pea.
Lord Kresovus tells you, "Take this Chorizite Pea. I have also given permission to Auritis to upgrade any of the armor or weapons of the Arm, Mind and Heart that you may have. Speak with him to find out more."
Kresovus chuckles lightly to himself.
Lord Kresovus tells you, "Long have I trained the best of my people in the three paths we Lugians brought with us from the old world. You have not only seen the Trials of the Arm, Mind and Heart, but you must have bested each of them to save me from the cowled ones and the shadowy imposter."
Lord Kresovus tells you, "Had a human ever asked to take the trials I would have denied them such a presumptious request, but you have proven your Strength, Clarity and Purity beyond doubt."
You've earned 162,415,717 experience. (max reward)
Lord Kresovus clears his throat, "All who may hear my words. I am proud to bestow the honor and duty of 'Guardian of Linvak Tukal' on <Player Name>. Their honor and dignity continue to prove the wisdom of our friendship and loyalty to the Humans.
Now show Kresovus your Mattekar Hide.
You allow Lord Kresovus to examine your Pristine White Mattekar Hide.
Lord Kresovus grips the hide of his old pet and drops his head in silence.
Lord Kresovus tells you, "I raised him from a little Mattie. He was my best friend."
Lord Kresovus tells you, "I will miss you Balor."
Kresovus loosens his grip on the hide.
Lord Kresovus tells you, "Balor would want to be of use. He was always so brave..."
Lord Kresovus tells you, "Take it and go. I wish to be alone with my thoughts."
Bring the hide to Neydisa Castle and give it to Yi Yo-Jin.
You allow Yi Yo-Jin to examine your Pristine White Mattekar Hide.
You hand over 1 of your Pristine White Mattekar Hides.
Yo-Jin holds the hide up reverently and looks a bit scared.
Yi Yo-Jin tells you, "Well, I have Kresovus' permission to craft this hide now, but I'm still not sure I want to. You must be pretty important for Kresovus to allow this."
Yo-Jin hesitates and then begins his work, deftly cutting Balor's hide in the pattern for a robe.
Yi Yo-Jin gives you Balor's Robe.
Yi Yo-Jin tells you, "Here you are. I don't mind saying that this is some of my best work. Be careful with this, I'm not sure Kresovus would be so giving if you let it come to harm. Oh, and be tactful, don't wear this around Kresovus."
