== Quest Overview ==
== Overview ==
This was originally the quest to banish [[Bael'Zharon]] during [[The Child of Daralet]] event. When the Hopeslayer was defeated, the mortal remains of his former self Ilservian Palacost appeared, along with 6 remnants of the crystals that imprisoned him. There were only 6 per server and could be handed in for unique one time only items (see below).  
Quest to attain a vial of the Hopeslayer's [[Blood of the Hopeslayer|blood]], which can be used to upgrade the [[Sword of Lost Light]] into the [[Sword of Lost Hope]].


During the [[Now In This Hush]] event, the [[Blood of the Hopeslayer]] started to appear on the remains of Ilservian that were left behind when he was defeated. The blood can be used on the Sword of Lost Light to create the Sword of Lost Hope. The [[A Shadow of Black Ferah|Shadow of Black Ferah]] that helped defend [[Bael'Zharon]] before he was beaten, can still be found in the Sepulcher guarding the blood.
* This quest is the final part of a chain that must be completed before hand (by at least 1 person in the fellowship) to create the portal gem that leads to the quest dungeon. The quests can be completed in any order.
* [[Lockpick]] skill (max diff. 402) is required for a door in part 2.


During the [[Unfinished Business]] event, the [[Radiant Mana Infusion Quest|Radiant Mana Infusion]] was introduced. Using the infusion on the SoLH, turns it into an [[Empowered Sword of Lost Hope]] - a very effective acid rending sword.
== Walkthrough & Notes ==
 
# If you haven't already, hand the {{Itemlink|Dark Crucible}} to one of the [[Chosen of Asheron]] to receive the {{Itemlink|Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer Portal Gem}}.
== Walk Through ==
# Summon the portal to the dungeon while on flat ground. Buffing can be done before or after summoning as the drop zone of the Sepulcher is safe. However, be careful while in the drop area not to enter the surface portal as there is no way back without a second portal gem.
=== Part 1: Creating the Portal Gem ===
# Have the lockpicker unlock the middle door - the other two passages are rigged with mana and stamina blight traps.
* To create the portal gem, you must first obtain items from several other quests:
# Complete the [[Empyrean Cloister Quest]] to obtain the [[Skull of Avoren Palacost]].
# Complete the [[Shadow Captain's Heaume Quest]] to obtain the [[Heart of Shadow]].
# Complete the [[Virindi Servant's Amulet Quest]] to obtain the [[Fragment of the Singularity]].
# Combine the [[Fragment of the Singularity]] with the [[Heart of Shadow]] to create the [[Dark Singularity]].
# Combine the [[Dark Singularity]] with the [[Skull of Avoren Palacost]] to make the [[Dark Crucible]].
# Hand the [[Dark Crucible]] to one of the [[Chosen of Asheron]] to receive the [[Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer Portal Gem]].
 
=== Part 2 - Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer ===
* '''You will require a lockpicker (max difficulty is 402) and lever pullers for this part of the quest.'''
# Make sure everyone is fully buffed (including banes), it is safe to buff in the drop zone of the Sepulcher.
#* <font color=red>'''Warning:'''</font> Becareful after entering the dungeon, the surface portal is a few feet from the drop point and if you exit there is no way back without a second portal gem.
# Have the lockpicker unlock the middle door, the other two passages are rigged with mana and stamina blight traps.
# After clearing the section of Grievver and Shadows, you will see a lever in the center of the room, have a group or person stay behind at the lever ready for use when you reach the door - everyone else will continue on west.
# After clearing the section of Grievver and Shadows, you will see a lever in the center of the room, have a group or person stay behind at the lever ready for use when you reach the door - everyone else will continue on west.

# After you have infused the [[Sword of Lost Light]] with the volcanic infusions ([[Blue Fire Infusion|blue]], [[White Fire Infusion|white]], and [[Red Fire Infusion|red]]) for improved stats, you can use the [[Blood of the Hopeslayer]] on it to create the [[Sword of Lost Hope]]. You cannot add infusions other than the [[Radiant Mana Infusion]] to the sword once you have used the blood on it, so make sure you do it in that order if you want the best possible sword.

Sword of Lost Hope Quest
Level: 36
Type: Fellowship
Starts At: Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer
Route: Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer Portal Gem
Repeat: 20 Hours

Overview Edit

Quest to attain a vial of the Hopeslayer's blood, which can be used to upgrade the Sword of Lost Light into the Sword of Lost Hope.

  • This quest is the final part of a chain that must be completed before hand (by at least 1 person in the fellowship) to create the portal gem that leads to the quest dungeon. The quests can be completed in any order.
  • Lockpick skill (max diff. 402) is required for a door in part 2.

Walkthrough & Notes Edit

  1. If you haven't already, hand the Dark Crucible to one of the Chosen of Asheron to receive the Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer Portal Gem.
  2. Summon the portal to the dungeon while on flat ground. Buffing can be done before or after summoning as the drop zone of the Sepulcher is safe. However, be careful while in the drop area not to enter the surface portal as there is no way back without a second portal gem.
  3. Have the lockpicker unlock the middle door - the other two passages are rigged with mana and stamina blight traps.
  4. After clearing the section of Grievver and Shadows, you will see a lever in the center of the room, have a group or person stay behind at the lever ready for use when you reach the door - everyone else will continue on west.
  5. At the split, take the middle passage across a grated floor and down a ramp. Defeat the Grievvers and Shadows in this room and head around to the north passage.
  6. The next section is made of Shadow-twisted organic material which constantly eats away at your health for 9 points or more. The alcoves in the central corridor are safe zones from the damage, so stand in them whenever you can.
  7. Stand at the door and have the group that stayed behind pull the lever, when the door opens move into the alcoves beyond the door and wait.
  8. The lever group now needs to get to the door and take the left corridor north through some rooms to the last lever, pull it, and then run back and join up with the others (the first door can be reopened from inside the corridor). When the final door is open, everyone should move into the end of the passage before the pit and buff up if necessary.
  9. Down below is the final room where A Shadow of Black Ferah is found along with the Remnants of Ilservian laid out on an altar.
  10. Kill the spawns and loot a vial of Blood of the Hopeslayer (10 vials are found on the Ilservian's remains).
  11. After you have infused the Sword of Lost Light with the volcanic infusions (blue, white, and red) for improved stats, you can use the Blood of the Hopeslayer on it to create the Sword of Lost Hope. You cannot add infusions other than the Radiant Mana Infusion to the sword once you have used the blood on it, so make sure you do it in that order if you want the best possible sword.
