Castle Nektropos
First trip into Castle Nektropos, which opens with a three part errand for Lord Everling before you are let through the gate. A lost ring, a sapphire and a setting from two cities, and a visit to the high priestess in the open world Plane of Hate. Then the castle itself on difficulty zero as Shadow Knight, Monk and Shaman: seven murdered sisters, a locked library, a key built from four scattered parts, and a quest that ends with a sword hilt and a promise to the sisters' mother.
A new zone, and the first hour of it. Castle Nektropos does not let you walk in: a servant of Lord Everling sends you on three errands first, one in the lake below the cliffs, one split across Felwithe and Ak'Anon, and one in the open world Plane of Hate. I ran the errands as Warrior, Bard and Shaman because there is a lot of running, then switched to my favourite build, Shadow Knight, Monk and Shaman, for the castle itself. It is a difficulty zero instance, because I want clean screenshots for the database, so the fights are easy and the real work is working out where the doors, the keys and the sisters are. I stopped after an hour with the sword quest just handed over and split the rest into the next episode.
The Entry Quest, Step by Step
Three errands before the castle gate.
- Talk to Lord Everling's servant first. Say hello and he explains that dangers wait ahead and you must be prepared before you are allowed to proceed.
- Errand one is the lord's lost signet ring. It rolled down the hillside into the lake near Lignarius while he was honouring his sisters on the cliff. A level 55 mob at the edge of the zone in the water has it, and it showed as yellow to me.
- The ring comes back broken. The setting is damaged and the bright blue stone is gone, so he sends you for a sapphire and a craftsman.
- Errand two is a sapphire and a setting. The sapphire comes from a merchant in Felwithe who owes the family a debt, and saying the keyword he gives you gets the stone. The setting comes from a craftsman in Ak'Anon, who needs a different line from the merchant first.
- Errand three is the high priestess in the Plane of Hate. You want the open world zone, not the void warped one where InnoruukEverQuest LegendsInnoruuk, the Prince of HateZoneThe Plane of HateHealth: measured, per difficultyd0 32,074 (31,894 to 32,253) · 10 kills · hit 1,600d1 35,294 (35,080 to 35,507) · 10 kills · hit 1,512d2 51,037 to 60,776 · 10 kills · hit 894d3 73,627 to 89,929 · 14 kills · hit 983d4 80,068 to 122,513 · 27 kills · hit 1,026 is rumoured to be held. She gives you a note, the traitor's blessing, after you swear yourself to her deity.
- Hand the note in and the ring is enchanted. I got the achievement Be Our Guest there, and he tells you to head north along the road to the castle, where the lord will speak to you himself.
Who to Bring and How to Run It
Mostly a logistics problem.
- A Bard makes the errands bearable. A bard's speed is higher than a horse's, so Warrior, Bard and Shaman got me round all three stops quickly.
- Have an open Druid and a Wizard. The Druid gets you to the Steamfont end without a run back to Freeport and a ship, and the Wizard needs to be 46 to take you to the Plane of Hate. The port cost about 100 platinum and I had 20,000.
- I am kill on sight in Ak'Anon. Invisibility and a sneak in is enough. The craftsman, Rylon Coyle, was where the test server had him, so I did not have to hunt.
- Bind near the castle if you have a caster. You will be coming back to the quest giver quite often, so it is worth a binding.
- Make a difficulty zero instance. The area was full of people spamming quest text, which makes the dialogue harder to follow, and I wanted items for the website anyway.
- Switch to Shadow Knight, Monk and Shaman for the castle. It is my favourite build right now, and on a mount the Shadow Knight runs at almost Bard speed. I had meant to level a Necromancer, then unlocked the half dark elf race and changed my mind.
- The Shaman pet beats the Shadow Knight pet, so I summon that one. I also checked the auto skills for Flying Kick, Rupture and Tiger Claw, since I had not played this set in a while.
What Happened to House Everling
The setup, as the lord tells it.
- Lord Everling's sisters are all dead, murdered in their beds by a group of servants of the house.
- His father has gone mad. He is locked in the library or gone for days into the castle, and has been breeding monsters and filling the place with them.
- He asks you to spare his father the torment, which he admits is a terrible choice, and says his mother might know where the father spends his time.
- His mother is shut in her chambers in grief, so the first job is simply finding her. I did not find her this episode.
- There are seven sisters, each in a different coloured robe, and six towers around the castle. I assumed one sister to a tower, which is partly why it did not work well on the test server.
- The guards at the entrance are level 60. I counted about fifteen named in the castle overall, though I only went by feel.
The Named and What They Dropped
Easy on zero, with some good items.
- The game master drops the best item I have seen here, a weapon called Supernova. He teleports around and throws balls at you, which is annoying more than dangerous.
- The sergeant is level 52 and a speed belt came off him with 10 stamina on it, which is not bad for a loot pile.
- Corrupted clerics, a freed servant and a tormentor were all quick. Two damage effects on each and they were done.
- A level 54 Paladin is the one fight to slow down. She dropped blood soaked gauntlets that look really good, and I avoided life tap so it would not trigger her.
- The head chef and his assistant drop a chef's prize, a hearty meal that gave me around 65 health. I did not see that on the test server.
- Most of the trash does not drop much. I got a few rubies and a blue diamond, and the ruby crown, but nothing worth stopping for.
- Some named are quest mobs, not kills. I could not attack a couple of them and the worn blade off the tormentor was junk, so check before you swing.
The Library Key
Four parts, scattered through the castle.
- The key is built from four parts, not five. I assumed five and ran the whole castle several times looking for the last one.
- The harpsichord tells you what is missing: one black key, one white key, a string and a plectrum.
- The black key was on the ground after a fight, the white key was in a room with drawers at the very top, and the rope came from near Torturer Utsan.
- Locked doors are everywhere, so I assumed at first that I needed a Rogue. Everything you need is on the same side of the castle.
- The library wants high damage, and area damage would be an advantage. I went defensive for the fight.
- The librarian did not work properly for me. He asked whether Lord Everling sent me for the tome, then threw it away and I could not hand it in, so I left it and moved on.
The Sisters and the Sword
Where the episode stops.
- The sisters are casters, a Cleric at level 55, a Wizard, a Necromancer and a Paladin among them. The Cleric had a shield from harm and pinned me in place, and the first sister I killed dropped a robe and a necklace.
- Each sister drops a quest robe, and you need a second, lower level one from another, so plan on killing more than one. The maid drops wraps with undead damage for Monks and fighters, though the ratio is poor.
- Their mother's ghost wants her husband dead. She makes you swear to put the final death on Plimpy, and thanks you as a blessing to the family.
- The Torturer is a cursed man who killed the sisters. He asks you to take the sword hilt, find the spirits of the seven sisters and recreate his crime one last time so he can rest.
- That gives you the traitor's sword fragment, and a voice in your head says you are forced to obey. I had already killed most of the sisters by then.
- I stopped there after an hour and split the rest into the next episode.
Castle Nektropos, Getting In
- Bring a Bard for the errands. Speed makes the three stops painless.
- Have a Druid and a 46 Wizard ready. They save a ship ride and take you to the Plane of Hate.
- Pick the open world Plane of Hate, not the void warped one.
- Hand in the traitor's blessing to finish the ring and open the road north.
- Make a difficulty zero instance if the area is crowded.
- Gather all four library key parts, then take the key upstairs.
- Check a named is not a quest mob before you attack it.

Hello and welcome to my legendary adventures in Norrath. Today we are back in EverQuest Legends. And we’re going to visit a new zone, Natropos Castle, and we’re going to start doing that. So, there’s a quest that needs to be completed to gain entry, so we’re going to do that now. I’ll make it a warrior, a bard, and a shaman, because there’s a lot of running involved. And I feel like it will be useful for completing tasks. So, let’s call out our favorite. I was completely, absolutely unprepared . And we need to get to the Neck first, not the Lava Storm, so let’s do that. We’ll have a chat when we get there. The Neck Gate, so we’ll use the Neck Gate. I recommend that if you are going to do these quests for this area, have an open druid and wizard up to level 25 or 46 in the case of the wizard. And then you go through the quest itself as a bard so you can run fast, right? So, this is what I recommend. I did this on a test server, and well, hopefully everything will go well today. But you can see a picture right there of what the place looks like. So once we get into the zone, I have n’t updated my maps yet, but if we…Oh, let me overlay this and get the running speed back . This is where the zone line is. I haven’t updated my map display yet, so it’s not there. Warrior, bard, shaman. Oh, I did n’t even have the right spells. There are still no correct spells . Let me take a look. Travel. Here it is. Something was clearly wrong with my spells today. I don’t know what exactly I had there. Let’s see if I have…I guess I have n’t been in the game for a while, so it’s definitely interesting, yeah. But we have some new gear. If you follow my boss killing videos, you know, I show off gear and stuff. For example, an earring is 10, a face is 10, a neck is 10. Earrings, rings are 6, a sword is 10 10. Yes, that’s the boundary of the zone right here, at the end of the river. If you’re playing regular EverQuest, this is roughly the same area where the Chorus Creep zone boundary is. So now we’re inside the zone that’s so interesting . This is a map display from ancient times. And that’s how the map used to look, but they changed it during development, so that’s because it was in the files. So what we’re going to do first—we’re going to approach this guy. We’ll stand right here. We won’t talk to him, but what we will do is L and then we will perform a ritual. What are we, do we have a Shaman? Wait, we don’t need to spend all our mana here. Mm, different bindings. If you don’t have a caster in your party, you’ll want to make a binding here. The reason is that you will be coming back here quite often. So you should do it. So, do that and get back into travel mode. And we’ll drop, oh, seriously? Is it, or was it unable to load my spells? That’s it. OK. We can remove the invisibility in this case. Now I will do it. I’m going to do it. Yes, let’s do this. Let’s create an instance of D0. Since there are so many people in this area , we won’t be able to complete quests here, which is normal. You know, if you like being around people, but with all those people spamming quest text and stuff, it’s just going to be harder. We should have done this in advance, but well, here we are. OK. I’ve noticed that some of these areas…it seems to me like the game is loading slower, right? The server is now at an average number of players and I feel like the transition between zones is much slower than before. OK. Now let’s switch to the default map , since it exists for this zone. It doesn’t look very good in dark mode, so keep that in mind. So, this is Lignarius. This is the zone we are in now . The castle is up there. For me, this is a passable area. I wo n’t even spend time here . This is actually the …character of the festive event. So , we should talk to him in the next video. OK. We are already here, but we want to speak to the servant. So let’s say to him: ” Welcome, adventurer, to the possessions of the noble house of Everling.” I see you received a letter from our lord. Times are dark right now, and your help could really make a difference here . Dark times. As you have already read in my lord’s letter, tragedy has befallen his large family. Dangers await you ahead, and we must make sure you are prepared to face this horror before we allow you to proceed. Okay, dangers. Okay, he gives us a task. So he wants us to find his lost signet ring , right? And they returned it to the servant. So, before we discuss this further, there is something you must do for my lord. As if he had not lost enough, Lord Everling was left without his ancestral signet ring. He regularly makes pilgrimages to the cliff above the lake near Lignirius to honor the memory of his poor sisters. During one of these trips, the ring slipped from his hands. He could do nothing but watch it roll down the hillside into the lake. I instruct you to find the ring and bring it to me, then we will arrange an audience at his castle. Okay, so his ring is somewhere around here. And… let’s make sure everything is ready. I’m in attack mode, the channel is connected. Okay, the rest is fine . Let’s actually do this. Let’s use the sky. Single target. I think I’ll switch it over here. Healing, first spell. Okay, that’s logical. That makes sense. OK. Okay. Oh. Dandelion, this is terrible. Okay, let’s use a mount for this part since we’re going to fight. Now we will go into the water and find a level 55 mob here. Ahem. Let me take a look. It should be in this direction. Yes, he’s right here, on the edge of the zone. These other creatures are not so important. I mean, it’s just a fish in water. You don’t have to fight them if you don’t want to, but we’ll just go right up to this guy. It is yellow. And… let’s look at the damage timeline. So, let’s… I think I’ve already killed him. I didn’t apply a buff, although I don’t think that will be a problem. We won’t, we’ll sell it for now. We just won’t deal with it. Aha. We definitely won’t have to deal with this . And then we need to go into L. We want to enable “cleave ”. And that seems to be all. For some reason it is not saved. I have no idea why. Here it is, done. Here’s this ring, which is actually not bad if you look at its specifications, but we’ll take it. We’ll sell it there because it’s for another quest. And we get out of the water. Do we have another one? No, there is none. Okay, let’s sell, let’s drop the boost. Let’s move to accelerated motion. And then we will get out of the water and return to the servant. Well, because. Hurry up, friend. Oh my God. That’s it. Okay, so A bard’s speed is higher than a horse’s, so keep that in mind. It just makes running around and getting these things done a lot easier. I’ll probably apply some buffs when we get to the castle. I don’t think I’ll need buffs here for anything. Okay, let’s run here, give him the ring. And he says, “This is the ring of a lord. It seems to have suffered incredible damage, but the bright blue stone that once adorned it is gone. And the setting is broken. I must ask you to travel to the distant city of Felwhite, to the shop of All Hallows. Or, more accurately, Hallows. The merchant there owes our family a great debt. Perhaps he can repay it by giving us the finest sapphire. You also need to contact a craftsman in Ak’Anon who is in a similar financial situation. He will have what we need to properly set the stone. Got it? So we have these two guys to talk to. We are going to head to Faydwere, right? So we will just teleport there. And that is why I advise you to have all of this, otherwise you will have to run back to Freeport and get on a ship, right? That is a bit of a journey. And I also advise you to have Druid, so you can go straight to Stymfont, right? You can go straight there. So, I guess I’m no longer an enemy of the Hiles. I don’t know if I’ve discovered that race, but it should be close. If not, let’s use invisibility and go talk to that guy, but you don’t really need a faction for that . Okay, let’s run that way. And then everything should be fine. Does it still give you a forge? Yeah. I have n’t played this set in a long time . I have no idea how it’s set up, because I played a monk, you know? I think a monk is better in combat. We’ll go to the castle as a monk , because I have better equipment for him, but I’m sure that would be the right choice. Okay, let’s check this guy out. He’s being friendly, so we’re safe. Should be fine. So, if I remember correctly, the jeweler is somewhere around here. City poison? No. Shop “All voids , “here it is. And this is this guy. If you press Q, he’ll say …yeah-yeah-yeah…Oozbol. Say “Oozbol.” That’s it. We get the blue sapphire, right? Now we need to go to the Stymfont Mountains , and he says, “Tell that dark elf that he owes me. Now get off my bench.” So, Stymfont, and then we’ll go to the Stymfont Ring, which is right outside of Ak’Anon, where are we going next. With the portals, it all happens pretty quickly. I have to say, otherwise you would have to run all the way here from Stymfont. I think that’s why they made this quest so that you go from here to there, because it’s a short distance, just in case there’s no access to the portals. This quest requires level 46, because you have to go to the Plane of Hatred, which is why I say make sure you do it with someone who has a 46th wizard. level so you can just go straight in . But of course, that’s your choice. You can do whatever you want . Okay, let’s just run through here. I’m supposed to be KOS here , if I’m not mistaken. Yes, I’m KOS here, so we’ll have to sneak in . But it’s not that hard. And the guy we need was found on the test server. Hopefully he’s here, and we won’t have to guess where he is. That’s it . Okay, this guy’s name is Rylon Coyle. So let’s remove the healing song and use invisibility. Oh my. Like this. And then F, so we’ll sort by name . Here. We’ll just sneak in here. We should be invisible now, I think. If not, I can kill all of them. Uh, okay, so I’m going. It’s not that hard to get here. Uh, just , you know, if you don’t know this town like I do. It could take a long time to find the right way. That’s it, right? Because that magic line is sometimes hard to see. That’s it. I didn’t even know that this way existed. Right? Maybe there’s an easier way to get here, like jumping in the water or something, but who knows. Okay. You see, there’s already a bunch of people here. So that means you’re headed this way. Now let’s take him to the target. What do we have to say to him? Uh. Same sentence. Uh, let’s take out the invisibility song. That’s it. And he says, “Oh, yeah, that dark elf said you were coming to see me.” I have what he needs, right here. Don’t worry about payment. Just tell him this covers my debts to his house.” Now, uh, the quest should say to go back to the assistant and turn this in. So we’re going to use the portal. That’s why we’re tied up right there . By that thing. I was attacked by a mechanism just now, but my pet killed it, because, uh, that’s what pets do. They kill things, right? That’s it. I used it instantly . The portal spell. I didn’t even see it cast. Okay. And great. We’re here. Now we need to get right out here. This is open world. This isn’t an instance, so keep that in mind. I’ll give it to him, both at the same time. And then, yeah, these are exactly the items I was looking for. I hope you didn’t have any trouble getting them. How’s Everling? He’s always been good at finding good trade deals. Now there’s one more thing you need. I need you to prove your The skill, uh, turned out to be a bit more difficult. I’m confident in your resourcefulness. Head to the Plane of Hatred itself. Cleanse these lands of their filth. Search every abandoned building. You must find the High Priestess of Ultrok. She will provide the final ingredient needed to restore the spell on this ring. Be careful not to enter the void- warped Plane of Hatred, where Innoruuk himself is rumored to be imprisoned. She avoids that place. So, I’m told to go to the open world of Hatred, right? That’s kind of the point of the quest. Go to Hatred, right? Uh, go to the open world. Don’t go to the, uh, other one. So we can safely click here. And I’m casting this spell right now. That’s why I’m talking about level 46. Of course, it’ll cost you what? 100 platinum? But I mean, how much money do we have? In we have 20,000 platinum and nowhere to go , so uh , you know, you might have a different experience, but uh, let’s go. It’s good to be here. And so, we’re in the Hate Plane. So, the best thing we can do here is this, right? So, we’re going to use invisibility. And uh, we’re just going to kill everyone . Actually, before we do that, let’s do this. Let’s put on buffs. No, don’t skimp on buffs. Let’s put them on because we might have to fight, and the monsters in the open world of the Hate Plane are stronger than the solo ones, so there might be, uh, you know, some difficulties, I don’t know. I have n’t played this build in a while , so I’m not going to, uh Oh [ __ ]. Spirit Fist. Okay. I think I changed the way I use buffs from, uh, that way to this. That’s probably why I have two different buff slots. Like this. And then we need strength. And it seems we don’t cast dexterity. Honestly. Okay. Uh, it does n’t matter at all . Okay, let’s get back to single target. This is a different spell set than what I usually use. I started using it in the Plane of Hatred, which is the Plane of Heaven, because it lets me deal more damage and boosts my stats. You see, my stats are already pretty high here. So, we just need to get up there. I’m not even going to bother with invisibility. Uh, now that I think about it, since there are enough people here, there shouldn’t be anything left alive. Yeah, there ‘s one mob there. Uh, but we’re just going to go straight through here. And those mobs are all dead, so we can just walk past. Now, I figure all the mini- bosses are probably dead. Yeah. Well , Master Spite is in place. He’s not worth killing. Uh, Scorn is in place, not worth killing. kill. And the Grand Master, who is worth killing, is missing. There she is, right here, so that’s where we’re headed. Uh, just right through this place. And we see here that there’s that building right there. And uh, we do this and that . Okay, perfect. This elite dragoon wants to fight, but uh, it’s okay . We can go up here. And we’ll see her . We’ll say hello to her. She says, “You would only be standing before me if you were willing to swear your life to the deity Ulkurak, our mistress of betrayal.” Is that so? “I swear. And then she gives us a note right here, a traitor’s blessing. You’ll have her blessing, you ‘ll be bound by her word. One day she’ll reveal her will to you. You’ll answer, you’ll obey. Well, we can’t push it, so there’s nothing we can do here. Um, but, uh, you know, we’ve got what we’ve got. Let me do this. Just because I don’t have this item in the database. And I’m not going to do this quest again. Okay. Uh, look here. Now we need to go back. Uh, deliver this back to him. So, let’s, let’s remember the gate. And it’s right there . And I’m going to take a quick screenshot of this item. Just so we have it for future reference. And we can get out of here through the gate. And that’ll take us back to that guard guy, right? Now, hopefully, this, uh, this little, uh, area here is, uh, a place where we can change, uh, our equipment, but that’s it. Now we’re ready for this and we ‘re going to give him a note. Right here. Pass it on. And then, uh, we got the achievement “Be Our Guest” right here. Right there. We did it. And he says, uh, holding the ring of damage in his hand, reads: ” Let the words of the traitor ring through his voice.” He speaks in some strange language. The chill running down your spine makes it clear: the entity you swore an oath to is capable of unspeakable deeds. A cold light flashes in Oswald’s hand , and the ring has clearly transformed in some way . He carefully inserts the sapphire into the ring and turns to you again. You’ve done a favor for Lord Everling to prove your perseverance. Head north along the road to Necropos Castle. Inside, you’ll meet the lord, and he’ll speak to you directly and personally. And he’ll personally give you further instructions. God, I even read I can’t . Okay, so we’re done. Now, let’s, uh, speed things up a bit. Uh, wait, wait, before that. Uh, gear. Yeah, the change is available. We’re going to switch to Dark Knight, Monk, and Shaman. Let’s switch to that. Oh, I like this build. This, this is my favorite build that I have right now . I was going to, I was going to level Necromancer, but then I realized that this zone here is like level 10, right? So I, I wouldn’t be able to, I wouldn’t really be able to level it, right? So, uh, I kind of gave up on the idea of leveling Necromancer after we unlocked the half-dark elf race. We’re going to do that. Maybe we’ll level like them, but okay, perfect. Now, uh, we should be fine. Now we can load our buffs. And we have a mount. Now , as a Dark Knight, we’re running at almost bard speed on our mount, so, uh , that’s pretty good. We’re going to do this on zero difficulty because I need, uh, I need screenshots for my website. Uh, but for the most part, it doesn’t matter. Oh my god, seriously? 3 minutes. Okay, it’s going to take us 3 minutes to get there. Okay, so from here, if we go back to the standard maps, uh, we just need to run north, and it’s right here. Now, uh, we should be headed in the right direction . Hopefully, by the time we get into the zone, we can, uh, we can do something. There’s some good stuff there. Uh , I’m not going to lie. Uh , there’s some good stuff you’ll find in this zone, but, uh, this is how lucky. Wow, there’s a lot of people just passing by. Okay, let’s, uh, click on the door. And we’re going to do a zero difficulty instance. So, like I said, I need items, okay? So I can update the website. Well, but, you know, you can definitely do whatever you want. You see, there’s already a lot of people here, so let’s create a zero difficulty instance or something. I was doing an open world on zero difficulty on a test server with a guy, and we killed pretty much everything that was available in the area, so I’m curious to see what that leads to. Okay. Come on. Okay, we still have a minute. Okay. Oh, well , I guess I have time. I still need to summon my pet. Summon undead. We’re going to need a frenzy summon. A shaman pet is better than a shadow knight pet. We also need to go into autoskills here and click “Flying ” Slam,” and “Rupture” and “Tiger Claw,” because I don’t know why, right? I mean, I don’t know why. And there’s no real new AA, so we don’t have to spend anything. And 45 seconds. Okay, now we can hit the buff. And switch back to our spell set. Okay, I’m ready. I think the respawn time here is about 15 minutes. So we’re going to go talk to this guy in the red robe. He’s supposed to give us a quest, and then we’ll see what happens next. Let’s see how much things have changed since I played this on the test server. Let’s use Chloroplast. I don’t seem to have anything in my last spell slot. But you can see the level 60 guards right here at the entrance to the zone. Okay, congratulations. Sehir Everling says, “Ah, Waxol, welcome to our castle as it is.” You can clearly see that the situation is much worse than I could to report in letters sent beyond these walls. My sisters are all dead, murdered in their beds by a treacherous group of servants of my house. Okay. All dead. The tragic history of House Everling, make contact with his mother. The current situation is truly horrific. My father has gone mad, locking himself in the library. Or disappearing for days into unknown parts of the castle, which has forced him to breed monsters and fill the castle with these vile creatures. It truly pains me to say this, but for the sake of my house, our family business, and our reputation, I must ask you to spare him his torment. It is a terrible choice that I am forced to make, but recent events demand it. Perhaps my mother knows where he spends his time. Unfortunately, I have not been able to speak to her or console her since my sister’s death. She has locked herself in her chambers in grief, and her constant sobbing and crying are proof of that. Okay, okay. So, contact his mother, right? You see here. Um, he has seven sisters. Each one has a different colored robe, and this is probably his father. I don’t know. And there’s a sword right there. Okay. So, let’s take a look at the map. I’m just going to start looking around . I’m seeing some distorted shadows right now. Now we’re, we’re chaos in this thing. I don’t know. The difficulty is zero, he’s not very aggressive, so. Yeah, just keep that in mind. We have a sergeant, this is the same named guy here. So we’re just going to go up to him. He’s level 52. So not much higher than us. Go ahead, kill him. Now, did they add a hunter achievement? Hunter-killer. I don’t see any. So they didn’t add a hunter for this zone, but you can see there. Basic stuff. Okay, what do we have here? We have multi-layered gauntlets or armbands. I can’t read. Look at their stamina. Look at this. That’s pretty good. Okay. And, you know, there ‘s more mobs here, but from what I understand, the trash doesn’t drop much, so it’s not worth wasting your time. Okay, let’s keep going. What do we have here? We have a reanimated servant. He’s ready to attack. Can we just walk past him? Probably. Oh, probably not. A cheering lightning bolt. A trap or a slow. Now, what kind of loot? Cards. No coins. Got a little experience, but not much. Okay, we have another named one. This is the game master. He drops what I think is the best item in this area that I’ve seen , but also, you know, results can vary. Let’s take a look here. Let’s do seven. And then six. Perfect. And then, now he kind of does this, you know, thing when you go on the other side, and he’s throwing bullets at you. I mean, it’s kind of annoying if you ask me, but. Come on, heal. Let’s throw the healing. But it’s an easy fight, right? I can’t even imagine us having any trouble with this. And on difficulty four, right? When we do this. And perfect. Let’s see, he teleports again. But all the possessions are scattered, right? So he dropped a weapon for the robber. Which is called the ” Supernova”, right? So let’s take a look at this. Very good. Let me take a screenshot. Let’s put this here so we can see what’s new and what’s not. What is this? Okay, so two bosses are already defeated. Okay, this door is locked. Well, there were no doors when we played this on the test server, so I’m not sure about the route yet. I feel like the ceilings are too low. I definitely feel like this a situation that I personally don’t like, but I think we should go here. And just explore the castle, really. Nothing too dangerous. Here. Let me kill him. And we’re going to find the mother. I have no idea where the mother appears, so we’re going to have to find her. Now if we zoom out, you’ll see that there’s 1 , 2, 3, well, six different towers around. I think there ‘s a sister in each of them , which is why they didn’t work on the test server. The lack of coins is a problem. Oh. But you see me just blowing these guys up here. I don’t know what this is. Oh, the door. We have a treasury here. Okay. Corrupted cleric. Let’s put two damage effects on him (so far). And let’s get to that. And we’ll put two effects on him, because they’re the ones who do all the work here. There you go. One is done. And the other. But it’s a pretty big area. There’s about 15 different bosses. And Here, take this. Okay. So that brings us back to that part. We shouldn’t go that way . Let’s go up here . Freed Servant. Okay. Let’s put a double damage effect on him. That’s it. Easy. You don’t even have to put in much effort to heal. I think I did a few, uh… heals over time, just out of habit, right? It’s just what I do. Uh, but it’s definitely, uh… definitely worth keeping an eye on your health and stuff. It’s hard to say if there’s a boss here. On the test server, we weren’t hostile by default. So , uh, what’s interesting, right? Like, uh… I’m losing reputation with this faction, but I’m already an enemy to them, so it doesn’t matter. Okay, I don’t have to kill him. Okay, and another door. Let’s heal health. Yeah, that works better. Uh, what do we have here? We have two decomposers and… some pipes. And this looks like the main room. Okay, let’s go back here. Let’s go back upstairs. Let’s go down here. Okay, maybe through this door. Okay , we don’t have a key. What about this one? We don’t have a key. Okay, let’s go down here then. Okay. Okay, I found a room here . We have a Tormentor. Okay, we have two named monsters here. Wow, okay. Rated him . And he looks good. Now I think this other guy might be a quest mob. I think there was a quest or a patch note about him that he does something. So we’ll make sure before we just kill him. Like this. We got a worn blade, which is… er, not that cool. Honestly. Okay, he’s being suspicious of us , so let’s say hello. Okay, he doesn’t want to… Oh, we can’t even attack him. Never mind. He didn’t leave loot on the test server, so I’m assuming it’s a quest mob, I’ll leave it alone. Okay, where are we? Uh , um…We need to put some dot on him. Perfect. Cleaned up good, and…Easy. We got some brimstone from that guy. Uh , okay. I’m trying to remember. There’s…a fight, right? It’s a boss fight. There’s…a glitter. Let’s go get it. I think killing those two triggers a boss fight. Heal it. Okay, you’re on to dot. That’s it, perfect. Now, what exactly is my pet using right now? He’s using a trinket, right? Which is probably best for him. Um, I…I took all the glitter because I wear it as a shadow knight. I wish the pet armor was stored in the equipment sets, because it’s definitely, uh, something that’s a little annoying to have to switch every time. Here Yeah, we got another one. Okay , let’s do five. Seven. Come on, eight. She’s a level 54 paladin, right? So this could be, you know, a tougher fight depending on your class. I’m just going to slow her down to make it easier. And I’m going to use slugs , just because I like a little extra healing. See, she’s doing us damage , right? And all that. I’m trying not to use life tap, because that’s going to activate arm touch. I don’t want to activate get our right now. Oh, I didn’t put on Puma. There you go. Perfect. Okay, what do we have here? We’ve got blood-soaked gauntlets, 130 AP, right? They’re pretty good. Uh, really good. So let’s put them right here. And here, we got them. Another boss defeated. Okay. What do we have here? A closed door. A closed door. So that’s this whole area. Uh, let’s see who this is? It’s Pimp Toast. He’s… I’ll kill him now. Okay. What about the… rotting servant? Yeah, we don’t need them. Oh, okay, here’s the head chef. We can go over here. The head chef, here he is. He seems to have an assistant. Let’s deal with them. There you go. Perfect. And then, just easy. Right? Of course, it’s zero difficulty, so it’s even easier, but we got the ” chef’s prize”, which is a hearty meal. Cool, I didn’t see that on the test server. Let’s go pick this up with the auto-collector. It’s a 65 health meal, right? So that’s… That’s not bad. We can put it in. Let’s put it in here. I don’t care, though. Okay, it gives us a little more health. I mean, it’s… that’s nice. Okay, we have a spoiled chef here. We don’t need to worry about him. What is that? A mutilated servant. And then, nothing. Nothing in this room. Okay. What is this? A servant. I really have no idea where the keys are . I mean… exactly… uh… it’s going to take me a minute to figure this out. I have a door here. A few more servants. Maybe just kill them all. I don’t know. Let’s put all the effects on them. And they’ll just die. This build is pretty strong, right? This is probably one of the most interesting builds I’ve played. Now, switching from monk to necromancer is another really interesting build. That’s what I’m planning on doing next. But you see, I just completely healed myself with one skill, right? That’s just crazy. While I’m on Puma, I’m doing some pretty good damage. That’s it . And all my stuff is about level 10. So, that didn’t do anything . There’s another… three more things over there, but Okay, let’s keep looking. So, that’s where it leads . We’ve been there. We already gone through there. What is this? Oh, the sergeant’s back. I don’t see any more items on the ground, right? Because we picked it up. Harpsichord Spectrum, right? Is that for whatever it’s called? Here. Okay, traitor’s blessing. Yeah, just making sure everything adds up, right? So we got the sergeant’s speed belt. Oh, that’s good. 10 to stamina. Not bad. Let’s put that in our loot pile. Is there anything here? No, I don’t see any items on the ground. Okay, let’s go… let’s go back to the gamemaster. I’m sure he’s back . I mean, we’re doing so much damage. It’s just ridiculous. This fight is bothering me a little bit —in the library. You need to have high DPS there. I think AoE damage would be an advantage there. Let me take a look. Is that door locked? Okay. I wonder if I have to be a rogue to get through all of them. Oh, here’s the item on the ground. Hap. What is this? Black key. Okay. So we have it. I wonder if all the parts we need are on this side of this area. Okay. Where does this lead? This takes us back in a circle, and we come out here again. Just checking this room again. 12 ability points. Unfortunately, there’s almost no loot, right? We’re not getting anything. Got a few rubies and stuff , I guess. That’s… that’s good. Ruby crown and stuff, but there’s not much loot here. Oh well. And that’s it. Okay, blue diamond from this. Well , I’m complaining about loot , and it’s dropping, right? Is n’t that funny? Oh, I don’t see any items on the ground here. Let’s heal up and cheat some more. What about here? Is there anyone here? Okay, he didn’t want to fight. I do n’t blame you. Absolutely. I have no idea why they… why this guy is in the wall, but he under the effect. He’s under the effect and we’re fine. Free loot, right ? I mean, we’re hitting about what? 400? That’s just crazy. This must be a good place to level up a paladin with “destroying undead ” and stuff. Okay, let’s go back here. We’ve been there before. We’ve been there before. Didn’t go here, even though it’s the same path. Let’s go back upstairs. Maybe I missed something there. Where do these doors and stuff lead to, right? Can we somehow see through the doors? Yeah, we can kind of see through the walls. Okay. There’s a door. It’s locked. Here’s another door. Also locked. Okay, both of the upstairs passages don’t lead anywhere. So where the hell is your mom? Where’s your mom, dude? Okay. Let’s see. We have servants, a servant. Let’s go up here. I feel like I’m completely missing something quite obvious, right? I don’t know what, but we’ll find out. At least these creatures are very weak on this level . So, I guess once we get the key, we can use it on all difficulty levels. Like here. There’s a door and a clerk. Yeah , it just takes us to the exit, right here. Hmm. Pretty interesting. Maybe it’s a rare drop. Maybe the key is a rare drop or something. Because it seems like we killed everything on this floor, right? Yeah, and it just throws us back here. Oh. What is this junk? Oh my God. Okay. Let’s do this. Shrink . Oh, I don’t need this. I forgot. I didn’t have a cloak on during the test, so I forgot I could just click here. Let’s put acceleration on ourselves . I don’t think we were accelerating the whole time. Like this. Oh, shrinkage. Okay, let’s see. Was there anything interesting here? There ‘s a harpsichord here, right? We need five parts to put in this thing. It must be part of a key, I don’t know. But I don’t see five pieces yet. Let’s go over here. We didn’t kill the game master. It has to be this way. We didn’t kill the game master again, so we have to do this. The harpsichord must have filled these halls with joyful sounds. Now it stands silent, ruined. One black key is missing, one white key is missing, a string is missing, and the plectrum on the deck is nowhere to be seen. You notice the faint outline of a hidden chamber next to the keyboard, right? I’m guessing that’s where we’ll find this key that we need. So. I just don’t know where these parts of the key are. Okay , let’s get this out here. The game master has reappeared. So if we stand over here, we can kill him real quick. Five. And then six. I’ll slow him down, why not? Like this. And then he teleports away. We let ‘s run here. He just spams and throws the ball at us. Yeah, that’s right. Then he teleports us back here. He has some text. And it takes about that long to kill him. Okay, we have another “Player’s Gambit” that’s lower than equipped. Which I don’t think I need. I need a screenshot for this. So, let’s do auto-loot gathering or auto-merging. And let ‘s go back. Let ‘s go down here, I guess. Oh, wait, we have this ball. There must be a door here that is locked, right? If we switch to first-person view, we can look through holes in the wall. You see, there’s something strange there. We’re looking over there , that’s the final boss, right? You see some more mobs there. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh, I thought I saw one of those shiny things. Where is she? Let ‘s move on. Okay, we cleaned this room. It was a sergeant, but we didn’t see another ball, did we? Let’s look a little deeper, like in a bucket or somewhere else, who knows? Fire. I think it should be good here. I put a double spell on this guy , right? Aha. He just melts. Well, let’s look here . I’ll check all the nooks and crannies again. I don’t think they’ll hide it in an inconspicuous place, but there’s some strange transparency to that barrel. Ahem. OK. I ca n’t see anything in this room at all. Let’s go, let’s kill this thing. And let’s see where we are. I think we can go. Yes, he is there. Now in this room, let’s kill these guys. And this too. Perfectly. We’ll just kill this character off quickly. Because, well , look at this. We hit somewhere around 33402. That is, we are doing quite good damage. Pretty good damage, in my opinion . OK. Is there anything here? No. I ca n’t see anything in this room. Let’s step away from him for a bit. This will lead us here. So, this is a chef. So let’s kill him again. Let’s just put it down. He is a necromancer, so he will perform powerful attacks. Let’s use slugs . So that we, uh, can be sure. The blue guy has to die alone. This guy has Yes, he’s almost ready. Okay, I just got a dim-witted manager. And it looks like we got another culinary surprise from this guy. Perfectly. And everything looks good. Okay, let’s check this room. Let ‘s make sure there’s nothing here. Oh, there’s some kind of gnome there. I’ll make sure I didn’t miss anything too obvious. No. Okay. It would be a shame if it was accidental. A. I guess we’re surveying this area just to keep track of everything . Okay, so here’s a way. You can go up there . Let’s look here. Down here. It looks like we can get through this door, which brings us back to those mutilated guys we just cleaned up. Well, that’s okay. We can clean them up too. Things are definitely different here with the doors. I can say this for sure. Maybe I should take a break, look around, and see what I can find. And just run. Because to me, at level 50, killing, you know , blue enemies in a dungeon with maximum leveling is kind of boring, right? I, like, won’t lie. Well, there’s nothing much to do here. Increase your equipment slots by one. Okay, I didn’t even know I had it. That’s all. But, uh, okay, I think I’ll do it this way. I’m going to pause for a second now. I’ll run around, see if I can find the next part of this, okay? Obviously, I have two parts to the key. So I guess this is exactly what I need. Yes, I found another piece right here. Near the torturer, yes, yes, yes, yes. What is his name? Torturer Utsan . It’s near the goblin post, so I’ll go get that , which will give us the rope. We are closer. We’re closer, but I haven’t found anything else. I just run around and clean up everything I can. It’s just water. He doesn’t respond to greetings, so I’m not 100% sure, but I need to look further. And we’ll continue from there. Yes, I found another one right in this room. This is where we get the white key. This is a room with drawers at the very top, where I probably have n’t even looked before. Well, here it is. Okay, that’s about it. It seems there should be five of them. Let’s… Let’s try again. Maybe four of them, because I’ve already run around the entire city or area several times. OK. Rope, iron. Let’s try this. Boom. Here it is. It was only four. Ideally. We received the key to the library. Okay. I know the library is upstairs. I hope, uh, this helps. Maybe this will open the door. Yes, the key has been added to the relationship. So, here is the library of hotheads. This, this is going to be a tough fight. I don’t know if he’ll let us out of this room. Oh, it’s coming out. Let’s try. Let’s see if we can overcome this . Let’s turn on acceleration. This is more of a DPS battle. I’m going to go on the defensive because I think things are going to get crazy. So, visitor. Did Lord Everling send you for the tome? Let’s see if I can find it. It works like this: we will be constantly attacked. While he’s doing it. Or not. Not working? Like we don’t have to do anything else , right? Volume . I can’t take him to the target to say hello again or anything. He just throws it away. Er, one second. Okay, I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy. We will get back to him. I think we can go through here, right? This should give us higher level mobs, right? We have two enemies. Let’s deal with them. Oh, that’s fun. This is really fun. Let’s put a “dot” on this. And this guy needs another “bunker”. Ideally. Okay, let’s move on. I don’t know what’s wrong with the librarian, but it gives us access to another part of the castle, so let’s move on. What am I doing wrong? That’s it. And Perfect. Our doors don’t want to open. Okay, so this door is locked. Uh, okay, I guess whatever it was, it was attacking us. Okay, let’s go out and figure it out. She is a cleric. And it seems like I’m chained to a place, I can’t even move. But she’s a level 55 cleric , so she’s a little stronger. That’s it. Is she attacking my pet? Yes, my pet gets a lot. Apparently she has a shield from harm. Maid’s ring, okay. This is a beautiful ring. Let’s take a screenshot of this. The door is still OK, let’s move on. What’s down there? Oh, Deedra the Everliving. We need to get there. Why are you This is mom? No, it’s one of the dead sisters. OK. Can I be late? That’s it. Okay, let’s do this. Attack. Jihold, retreat. I mean, some will say it’s an exploit, others will say it’s not. Forward. I attack. Forward. Let’s put a “little” on it. She hits quite hard with spells, so I’m healing. And yes, we have to cope. She’s level 55, so she’s a little stronger than most of the ones we’ve fought, but she’s pinning me down and I’m in a defensive stance, but she has a damage shield, right? She’s probably 50 or something. Shield from harm. Okay, we got the robe and the necklace. Good. So, her robe has this, let’s take a screenshot. Pyroshovk. OK. Remove it from there, it looks like there’s still movement there. Okay, let’s , let’s continue. Let’s see what we have? Is this Alexius’s Handmaid? L Con, she is doubtful. Also. Oh, we we we ca n’t attack her. Most likely , this is a quest mob. Okay, let’s move on. We continue our ” raid” in this area. Okay, Jaskar has been reconstructed, this is another paladin. That’s it. Come on, Ji, step back, pet attack is on. It’s probably worth updating the buffs soon, but I don’t know. So, we only needed four items for the ee for the key, so now that’s good to know. For some reason I thought it was five. Good. Another door that doesn’t want to open. Yes, we are retreating. Get away from this. Gee, step back. Good. And it looks like there’s another one inside. Strange, right? I’m not 100% sure what the mechanics are to open that door, but I think we’ll figure it out. So we should be able to get to that. Perhaps. Not sure how far we can go before we can’t uh do anything, right? So, this is the Teacher’s Robe. This is Lexus’ maid. Okay, that’s what you’ll have here. Okay, we got the maid’s wraps, which are weapons with undead damage for, uh, uh , monks and fighters. It ‘s a shame the ratio is terrible. I mean, maybe 30-30 against the undead, I don’t know. Okay, let’s look at this. And it was also marked as a quest item, so I assume it’s for a quest. Then we can zoom in here, and then, let’s see. Here is that mob. What is her name? Jenny. Okay, another wizard. Attack. Stop. Back, back, back, back. Lure here. Come on. Okay, it looks good. Let’s slow this thing down. He doesn’t have a protective shield, it’s just great. Let’s hang on to him until then. There’s just a lot of health there, actually. Perfectly. Good. This is the second of the seven sisters dead. I do n’t know how many we have to kill here. I hope we have to kill them. Good. Okay , we got another ring. And another quest robe. Okay, perfect. I ‘ll take a screenshot of this and that. I’ll have to do this again for another lady to get her lower level robe. Good. Who is this? Lady. Oh, this might be the mob we need. Let’s look here in a second. Oh, there he is. There is another tower there. The doors don’t give in. Okay, we were attacked. Back, back, back, back. Let’s get this guy over with . I’m waiting for the maid to figure out how to get here. Theoretically. Where is she? Here she is. Okay, let’s…She’s a cleric, so let’s, uh, do this. And that’s it. Perfectly. Good. Let’s get back on the offensive. And…I mean, we lost a lot of buffs, but I don’t really like buffing. Okay, we have another armband that will automatically merge. Now I have another sister. What is her name? Chalk. That’s all. She is a necromancer . We will send a pet. The pet will warm her up. Then we will step back. Now we will stand here. I hope the pet will move back. Are you leaving? Are you coming here, friend? Back, back. OK. Okay, he’s here, and she should be through the wall in a moment. I’ll do a “slug” to make sure we have everyone…That’s it. And seven. Six. What? Denial of life. And perfect. I’ll just use “life tap” to, uh, do it. Okay, we have a belt, another item for the caster, plus another robe. And we can take a screenshot for the story. OK. Another one is ready. And we should be able to get through here. Let’s evaluate it. She is doubtful. OK. It seems like it’s a ghost too. Congratulations. He has to pay. He has to pay for what he did to my children . He has to pay for what he did to my family. I thought leaving this world would bring me peace, but there is only pain. He has to pay. Plim Plos and his other damned Inox and Chucks. I do n’t even know how to pronounce it. May they all suffer eternally in the plane of torture. But Plim Plos still walks the earth while my daughters lie slain. Please swear to me that you will right this injustice and let me rest in peace. I swear. OK. Bring the final death to Plimpy. Okay . Oh, thank you, Voxel . You are a true blessing to our family. Now go. It should still be locked. Go find him. Don’t let him breathe the air of this world anymore. OK. That’s all. We got the traitor quest too. Which is, uh, the same. OK. Oh, I’m going to ramble on here for a bit. Nothing special. Now let’s see where we can go from here. Uh , like this, like this. Okay , we have an organ here. This is the room upstairs, so we can go down here. And where was Plimpy’s post? Uh, I think he’s down here somewhere. I think it was in this room. I’m just, well, reading the writing on the walls. No one attacks me like, Oh, my pet just died. We need to call him again. Uh, I just noticed that. Maybe it would be worth a quick refresh of buffs in a second. Okay, let ‘s get our favorite back. And here. Okay, kill the torturer . I guess he’s… he’s, you know, a ghoul. He’s like me, and, you know, he was tortured in this…like her? It’s like the Iron Maiden or something. Uh, exactly…something like that. This guy here got two “touches.” No problems. It seems we still hold the key. Let’s check the achievements. Most likely…Uh, keys. Yes, they are not here either . Okay, we got a worn blade that we seem to already have. We can safely delete it. And then we’ll come here and congratulate him. Another one came to conduct my torture session. Although it’s strange, I don’t know you. Are you from outside this castle? Then please listen to my story and help atone for my terrible crimes. What were your crimes? I’ve done a lot in my life , but nothing is as disgusting as this. It was anger. Maybe it was the madness that took hold of me, but I killed them all. All the sisters I swore to take care of. I killed them and cut them into tiny pieces, as small as the sword would allow . It was almost like a dream: their blood flowed as I hacked and slashed my way from room to room, making sure Renatus would never see his beloved children again. I paid for it. I died more times than I ever killed. Each time I was brought back from the safety of death only to relive the torture and pain. They turned back. As you grab the hilt of the sword, a voice rings out in your head . Yes, he is right. Give the sisters a break. Help end this miserable man’s cursed existence. No matter how terrible this order is, you are forced to obey. Okay, we picked up the traitor’s sword fragment. Let’s take a screenshot of this moment. And let’s write it down in a journal. Let’s look here. Yes, the curse of punishment for my actions forces me to be resurrected again and again. Maybe a hundred times, maybe a thousand at this point. I don’t even know myself. There is only one way to break this cycle of suffering. Please take the sword hilt and find the spirits of the seven sisters. Recreate my evil deeds one last time and quell them so that I can finally rest. OK. Quite simple, Aaron . Well, we already killed them. Let’s look here. Let ‘s go this way. And through the door. And up here . And we will find… So, we have a quest for a sword. Okay, we’ve been playing for an hour, okay? I’m going to, uh, stop right here. I’ll take a five-minute break, split this into another episode, and we’ll continue from there. But it will be, it will be the next episode, I’m definitely enjoying it . Everquest Legends is back. I really like it. Thank you very much for watching and have a wonderful day.
