Your task is to head into the Mistmoore Catacombs and open the chest with the Ankh of Zimel. The chest is at -72 -30 30 in the castle area of the catacombs up the first Ascent.

In Kaladim you'll need to head to -12 35 -278 to find your next update. This is in a little area above a forge in the back of Kaladim. Reading the book you will learn how to remake the keys needed to open the chest in Mistmoore Catacombs. (Bit of Lore) The locking mechanism was designed by the Everhot Family and the chest is called the soulfire chest with the real name being The Keeper of the Blade.

You will need to find Vibrellium ore, 3 diamonds from geoanimators, a master key mold from a forge master and three hammers from the chapel in kaladim.

  • 1. 12 Vibrellium Ore clusters, start at 107 12 -370 hunting Gungetalon miners. Updates are sporadic but everyone in group will update on each mob. Mobs respawn quickly in under 5 minutes so becareful of being spawned on.
  • 2. 3 Enigma Crystals, these are obtained from the geoanimators and you can find these near the forge. You will need to kill geoanimators and directors to obtain the update. Almost always the kills will result in updates.
  • 3. Master Key Mold, this is ontop of the forge at -15 42 -281 from the named Forgemaster or his PH.

Once you have all of the items head back to the forge which is the room bellow where you found the book.

After that head back up to the room where you found the book and use the grinder in the corner (-13 33 -283) to grind the keys.

With this task completed head back to Mistmoore Catacombs and back to the chest. Back at the chest using the ankh and the 3 keys a ghostly wrath will spawn. You must know the Thulian language to continue since that is what the wrath speaks. He will ask 4 riddles and if you answer wrong he will spawn armors.

  • 4. "I am the sentry of the secrets. I am the binder of souls. I am a protector of paladins. I am the sentry of the hand of Theer. I am an agent of fear. Which one do you not see?" Answer: Sir Lucan D'Lere

After answering the creature's riddles you will be given a hilt of a sword. Examine the hilt for your next update and head back to Sir Trodonis to report your findings. Unfortunately your only reward will be experience but it will be alot and if you are level 70 will give near 80% aa xp.
