Catacombs of Tar'Kelyn

Quest Overview

This is the final advancement test for each of the societies, which promotes a character from Lord to Master. It is slightly different for each society.

Melee and missile characters often have difficulty on this quest due to the prevalence of Sclavus wielding shields. There are several possible strategies which can help:

• Use an Isparian Weapon with a Major Shivering Stone in it. Isparian weapons have a shield hollow property which allows you to hit the Sclavus for a lot more damage through a shield.
• Cast Tattercoat/Brittlemail on their shields. You will likely need an item to boost your Item Enchantment skill to have success.
• Use a Soul Bound Staff (Casting) to cast The Spike. Any character can wield this item and use it to cast the spell. Magic damage ignores shields.

Brizinna du Corcosi tells you, "Our Mistress has told me of a tome held within the Catacombs, written by the Falatacot of Light, long ago. It is presently held by the Sclavus, Kathirik."
Brizinna du Corcosi tells you, "This Sclavus has been entrusted to guard the book within a sealed Vault within the catacombs. If T'thuun fears this book enough to seal it away and set guards upon it, we wish it for our Society."
Brizinna du Corcosi tells you, "I will attune you to the statue that guards the entrance to the catacombs now."

Hizuki Tama tells you, "The task of proving your worth has fallen to me. You will do the following to prove yourself."
Hizuki Tama tells you, "Travel to the Ruins of Dagar'Alesh, on the isle some call Freebooter Isle. From there, travel to the Catacombs of Tar'Kelyn, which you will find at 55.7S, 97.5E. Enter the catacombs and find the Sclavus called Tikchti. He has recently stolen an important Mnemosyne from the Dericost. Truly titanic in size, it is the repository of lifetimes of knowledge of Geomancy, the Falatacot, and the 'being' called T'thuun. Take this titanic Mnemosyne from Tikchti and bring it back here to me."
Hizuki Tama tells you, "Our scouts tell us that the Sclavus you seek is holed up within a locked Armory within the catacombs. Seek him there."
Hizuki Tama tells you, "I will attune you to the statue that guards the entrance to the catacombs now."
Hizuki Tama shatters a small gem, and you feel a wave of energy wash over you, settling in your bones.

Alicia Bladesworn tells you, "you need a task worthy of your skills, to prove yourself worthy of the Rank of Master in the Celestial Hand. I think I have one for you."
Alicia Bladesworn tells you, "On the Isle where you'll find the Ruins of Dagar'Alesh and Freebooter Keep, a place I've started calling Freebooter Isle, because, well, it's easier on the tongue and ears than Dagar'Alesh, there is a set of Catacombs overrun by T'thuun's Sclavus servants."
Alicia Bladesworn tells you, "Inside of these Catacombs, called the Catacombs of Tar'Kelyn, by the way, seems to be where all of the raids and incursions T'thuun's followers make against us are organized."
Alicia Bladesworn tells you, "From what our Scouts have been able to learn, a Sclavus named Skith'Kirit seems to be the main thinker and organizer for these raids."
Alicia Bladesworn tells you, "My task for you is simple. Sneak into the Catacombs of Tar'Kelyn, kill the Sclavus Skith'Kirit, and bring me his head. Do that, and you pass."
Alicia Bladesworn tells you, "I will attune you to the statue that guards the entrance to the catacombs now."
Alicia Bladesworn shatters a small gem, and you feel a wave of energy wash over you, settling in your bones.
