Walkthrough & Notes Edit

Part 1: Preparation Edit

These steps can be done alone or with a smaller group, there are no rewards and participation is not essential to being a part of the later sections of this quest.

  1. At the bottom of the Crater Caves Dungeon near the forges, take the Pyreal Forge Bellows laying on the ground.
  2. Travel to Aerlinthe island by handing a D Note to Garaena the Emissary at 87.6S, 65.6W, just East of Candeth Keep.
  3. From Aerlinthe Island, follow the inner harbor beach around to the harbor's northwest corner (87.7N 44.4E). Go due west up the slope to 88.0N 43.4E then follow the ledge that wraps around the mountain to the north and enter the Tenkarrdun Foundry at 88.8N 42.8E.
  4. Retrieve the Sluice Gate Bar from the Foundry. Lockpick is required.
    • Note 1: See map for location of the Sluice Gate Bar.
    • Note 2: You can take any surface portal to exit the dungeon with the bar, however one portal in particular drops at 88.6N 42.4E, near your next destination (see map for portal's location).
  5. Run to the Aerlinthe Reservoir at 85.5N 43.4E.
  6. On the way down, stop and pick up one Sacrificial Dagger if you will be doing the standard/low version of the quest. It is behind a locked door just before you get to the large downward sloping room. Only one person needs to pick up a dagger and if you are doing the high version it is not needed at all. Most people pick it up just in case.
  7. At the bottom of the reservoir behind a locked door (322) is a portal to the Aerlinthe Lower Reservoir, use this portal.
  8. Run to the bottom of the Lower Reservoir and hand the Sluice Gate Bar to the Repair Golem. If the golem is NOT there, that means the quest is in progress, or someone has killed the watchman within the last 3 hours.
    • Note: There is an important jump near the end, when you come to a shaft facing west. There is a small grate you need to hit or you'll fall to the very bottom of the shaft and there is no way back except running back to the dungeon from Aerlinthe drop. To hit the grate, jump normally towards the SW corner of the shaft, you'll slide down the corner and hit the grate.
  9. Back up onto the ramp next to the Repair Golem and jump through the left wall opening to get to the exit portal. This officially starts the quest and causes the Smithing Golem to spawn.
  10. Run back to the Tenkarrdun Foundry and at the very end give the Pyreal Forge Bellows to the Smithing Golem. Retrace your steps (use floor lever to reopen door) and use the exit portal in the broken bridge room.

Part 2: Tenkarrdun and the Relic Town Edit

  1. Handing the bellows to the Smithing Golem causes the Tenkarrdun Hellfire to spawn after 5–10 minutes in the Tenkarrdun crater near 90.3N, 46.3E.
  2. Kill the Hellfire and loot a Red Fire Infusion.
    • Optional: See Part 2b below on how to retrieve the other two infusions.
  3. Go to Relic Town at 86.0N, 45.4E with your entire fellowship.
  4. Kill the Relic Watchman and loot Ring of the Watchman.
  5. Upon the death of the Watchman, a portal to Aerfalle Keep will appear at 86.4N, 45.4E.
    • Warning: The portal lasts for 5 minutes.
  6. Use the portal to enter the keep.
    • Note: The watchman normally spawns nearby, but can spawn anywhere in the town. Like the Behemoth, the spawn is random (~10% per minute). So sometimes he appears quickly, but sometimes it takes a while.

(Optional) Part 2b: Retrieving the Sword of Lost Light Infusions and Black Boulder Edit

Killing the first Hellfire causes the Relic Watchman spawn check to begin, and the Mount Esper Firestorm to spawn. Killing the Mount Esper Firestorm will then cause the Mount Lethe Hellfire to spawn.

  • Warning: If you do not intend to complete the Lady Aerfalle quest, be sure to go to relic town afterwards to kill the Watchman, this allows the quest to reset properly for the next fellowship.
Red Fire Infusion and Black Boulder Edit
  1. The first infusion is dropped by the Tenkarrdun Hellfire that spawns at 90.3N, 46.3E.
  2. Defeat it and loot a Red Fire Infusion.
  3. Just south of the Hellfire spawn is the spawn spot for the Behemoth of Tenkarrdun at 90.0N 46.3E. The spawn is independent so it may or may not be there right away.
  4. Defeat the Behemoth at 90.0N 46.3E.
  5. Loot a Black Boulder.
White Fire Infusion Edit
  1. The Mount Esper Firestorm is located at 66.0N 13.0E in the middle of Crater Lake.
  2. Defeat it and loot a White Fire Infusion.
Blue Fire Infusion Edit
  1. The Mount Lethe Hellfire is located at 34.4S 84.9W in the middle of the Mount Lethe crater.
  2. Defeat it and loot a Blue Fire Infusion.

Part 3: Aerlinthe Keep and Lady Aerfalle Edit

  • Note 1: Lockpick is required for this part
  • Note 2: In order to get the main rewards everyone needs to be at Relic Town when the portal opens.
  • Note 3: A five minute portal opens upon the death of the Relic Watchman that leads to Aerfalle Keep. Once you take the portal, you have 90 minutes to complete the quest.

Low Version Edit

  1. Hand the Sacrificial Dagger to the Ghost of Dylaeral to trigger the low version of Lady Aerfalle.
  2. Kill Aerfalle's Weakened Apprentice and loot Ashen Key.
  3. Use the key to unlock Lady of Aerlinthe's Chest located in the earlier room with the levers and Infernos.

  2. Go down the the NE room of Aerfalle Keep where Lady Aerfalle normally appears. There will be a portal to Aerfalle's Sanctum. Use the portal (it cannot be walked through) to enter the sanctum.
  3. The dungeon is no log, if you log out or disconnect you will be sent to your lifestone and will be unable to rejoin the quest.
  4. The dungeon has several side routes that are dead ends, you want to get to a jump that leads down to a room with Lady Aerfalle.
  5. Note: Lady Aerfalle is high health and many debuffs. She also counter-vulns and dispells, so you should use rends.
  6. Kill Lady aerfalle and loot an Embossed Ashen Key (drops 9), and Lady Aerfalle's Charm (drops 9) from her corpse.
  7. Take the hallway behind her, and hand Lady Aerfalle's Charm to the Ghost of Galaeral.
  8. Use the key to unlock Lady of Aerlinthe's Embossed Chest behind the Ghost of Galaeral for your rewards.

Dialog Edit

Giving Sluice Gate Bar to Repair Golem

You give Repair Golem Sluice Gate Bar.

The golem turns and fuses the bar into the Sluice Gate. Somewhere below, you feel a grinding vibration through the ground... The fires of Tenkarrdun have been redirected to the ancient Yalaini forges.
Giving Pyreal Forge Bellows to Smithing Golem

You give Smithing Golem Pyreal Forge Bellows.

The golem, obeying ancient directives, turns and ignites the forges. Far below you, a tremor runs through the earth. The decayed machinery groans, shivers, and grinds quickly to a halt. Mount Tenkarrdun has become active again!
Killing the Tenkarrdun Hellfire

As <Player> smites the Hellfire, the flame-creatures sigh, and begin to disappear back into the vents and fumaroles they surfaced through. But, from the base of the mountain's slopes, you hear the whisper of falling ash, and the clacking of petrified bones...
Killing the Relic Watchman

Just before <Player> scatters the petrified bones across the ash of the port, it attempts to cast a portal to retreat! The ancient port of Aerlinthe is peaceful again... or at least as peaceful as it ever gets. But now the party has only ninety minutes to find and destroy the Lady of Aerlinthe!
Ghost of Galaeral

Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "The songs of my sisters echo across eternity and I am left to rot; bound through the arts of ill-wind taught by sisters who had fallen to the call of the twisted dark. Thousands of years bound against my will to a tether not of my making, bereft of power and ability to purchase a final release, I have waited and watched within the walls of this prison.

Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "The skein of her life now draws taut as she is stirred to action, re-exerting her command over these halls and drawing on the lives of those she once imprisoned. Through the countless years, most that were bound here against their will have become lost and slipped into madness, the echo of their lives now scattered dust and formless agony. Not I.

Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "I recall the device, the tool used to pull the blood of my heart into a vessel that held my precious vitae long enough to rip free my soul and lock it within the walls of this keep, evermore a servant to her will. But my years of servitude draw near an end, and through the voices of elder sisters who sang to the deep and refused to sell our secrets to the Dericost, I am given a moment of clarity to find my freedom. Yet the walls ever remain my prison.

Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "Aerfalle has changed. She has grown her flesh anew and taken the glamour of her youth. But all this imagery is false. She risks more power at the cost of those bound in these halls. My fallen sisters seek not redemption, but through their folly they will give me mine. Aerfalle's strength lies in tunnels long crushed by the weight of time, halls within this keep that you cannot traverse, halls which I can still travel.

Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "But I cannot lessen her strength without an instrument of sacrifice. The blade that drew my heart's blood must be used to stab at her crusted heart and weaken her strength.

Ghost of Galaeral tells you, "Bring me the dagger and I shall take my revenge and aid you in her destruction.

You give Ghost of Galaeral Sacrificial Dagger.

A haunting voice echoes in the halls of the Keep. "Light is not lost on this world yet. I shall enact my part of this bargain, outlander. Seek vengeance for the countless years, the suffering and the agony of those she has destroyed. Blessings of Ithaenc go with you."
Defeating Lady Aerfalle

On far Aerlinthe Island, an intrepid band has found the lair of the Dark Lady Aerfalle, at whose whim the earth itself does shake. But the bold <Player> has driven her back into her hidden crypts, and the ground stills... until she next awakens.

The withered corpse of Aerfalle hisses in rage as it is hewn in twain... "I shall not be sent to a final rest by primitives like thee, <Player Character Name>!" her severed head says from the stones. "Enjoy this insignificant victory, child. For I have walked this world for over ten millennia, and I shall walk it long hence your little race has returned to the dust that birthed thee!"
Handing in Ashbane to Leikotha

You give Leikotha Ashbane

Leikotha releases a dry, rasping gasp

Leikotha tells you, "Ashbane... mine own sword.

Leikotha examines her sword, feeling the weight of the blade in her hands

Leikotha tells you, "I had dropped this on the hill of Ayn Tayan... My rage had so blinded me. Ferah, had played me for the fool...

Leikotha tells you, "Spinning lies in my mind...

Leikotha tells you, "What I did...

A sound slowly builds within Leikotha, until finally an unearthly scream emanates from her. You feel the din about to deafen you when the scream stops

Leikotha tells you, "Why... why...

Leikotha stares silently at the blade of the sword

Leikotha tells you, "How... where... ai, thy mind tells me that thou has found in one of Aerfalle's caches. Foul magus that she is. I shall reward thee for thy efforts.
