[edit] Walkthrough
Unlike the previous quests, you will need to enter The Underworld by the regular means (although the world does not need to have favor if paying the Voice of Grenth). The character must be Ascended, Weh no Su or have completed Hunted! to be able to enter the Underworld. (but see note) All foes in the Underworld will return to their regular spawns and patrols, but Skeletons of Dhuum will also patrol various areas. The closest Skeleton of Dhuum can be found immediately at the starting point.
Explore The Underworld until you encounter a Skeleton of Dhuum. After weakening the Skeleton of Dhuum (to approximately 25% health), or simply killing it, double-click on the Everlasting Mobstopper in your inventory to capture it. Skeletons of Dhuum can only be captured when dead for a limited time. Multiple players are able to capture the same Skeleton of Dhuum. After capturing the Skeleton of Dhuum you can choose to continue in The Underworld or resign, and see the Mad King's Steward.
[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- Mad King's Steward
The situation is getting worse. Dhuum's elite soldiers, a legion of hand-picked skeletal minions, have been appearing throughout the Underworld in greater and greater number. They must be stopped, but killing them only adds to Dhuum's growing power. Fortunately, the Mad King keeps a healthy supply of Everlasting Mobstoppers. If you weaken one of the Dhuum's minions without killing it, you should be able to imprison it within the Everlasting Mobstopper. We've only used them on angry human mobs before, so report back to me and let me know how it works on Dhuum's minions.
Accept: "What could possibly go wrong? I'll do it."
Decline: "This sounds like a good way to get killed."
Ask: "Use the Everlasting Mobstopper to entrap a weakened minion of Dhuum."
[edit] Reward dialogue
- Mad King's Steward
I knew it! Even a skeleton can have a sweet tooth. Truly, no one can resist my candy creations! Now I will tell Mad King Thorn of your success and begin creating more Everlasting Mobstoppers should we run out. My Thanks, mortal!
[edit] Notes
- A character that cannot enter the Underworld can still complete this quest as long as another character on the account, that can enter the Underworld, collects and places the Captured Skeletons in storage so the other characters can turn them in.
- This is a festival quest that will only be available during Halloween 2009.
