;Prerequisites
;Prerequisites
* Everyone who participates in this quest ''must'' have a {{Itemlink|Coruscating Olthoi Scent Gland}}.  Glands are only found on level 160+ [[Paradox Olthoi]]. The best place to hunt for glands is in [[Olthoi North]].
* You'll want to complete [[Aerbax's Prodigal Olthoi]] first to get the weapon to upgrade.
* There are several ''convenience ties'' that you can get ahead of time to speed things up|
* By the time you are ready to create the weapon, you will need 100 [[Small Olthoi Venom Sac]]s to purchase a [[Deactivated Olthoi Weapon Kit]] from [[Hisham al-Evv]] in Olthoi North. You do not have to collect these before completing the Paradox-embraced Olthoi Weapon Quest, but it will make the following process faster.
** Part 1: Surface portal of the [[Olthoi Tunnels]] at 48.0N, 53.0E.
** Part 2: [[Black Death Catacombs]] at 60.0N, 71.1E.


== Walkthrough & Notes ==
== Walkthrough & Notes ==
=== Part 1: Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian ===
=== Flagging And Adventure ===
# From [[Paradox-touched Valley]], enter the [[Ward Guardian Cave]], the western most burrow at the back of the valley.  
# Begin by speaking with [[Elorie Steelhammer]] in [[Eastwatch]]. It is also helpful to speak to [[Venomward Mathieu]] to get the Olthoi Venomtalon kill task which can be completed concurrently with this quest.
# Stick right until you come to a 4-way intersection, go SE.
# Head to [[Egg Orchard West]] and make your way to the Egg Room. You will find [[Corwin Steelhammer]] in a side alcove. While you are flagged for the quest, it will ask if you would like to begin the quest. Make sure all of your party is in the Egg Room before you begin, as doors will spawn when the event begins.
# When you come to a large room, stick right until you leave the large room then go straight NE.
# When the event begins, an [[Olthoi Orchard Matron]] and two [[Matron Guard]]s will spawn, along with the normal spawn of [[Egg Guardian]]s and [[Olthoi Larvae]]. Controlling the spawn while doing consistent damage to the Matron is the primary goal of this fight, as it is very easy to get overwhelmed.
# Pass by the first intersection and the dungeon becomes linear from here until you reach a large room containing the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian]].
#* Note: If you die during this encounter, a portal (that appears like an olthoi door) appears in the pit area right after the jump. Use this portal to re-enter the egg room. This portal will disappear the moment the Matron dies.
# Kill the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian]] to open access to Aerbax's Prodigal Olthoi quest.
# When the Matron dies, you must use her corpse to get 15,000 Luminance, XP, and a [[Olthoi Matron Acid]]. Once everyone in your party has their acid, you can leave.
#* {{Warning}} Once the Ward Guardian is dead, you have a 6 hour window to run the quest.


=== Part 2: Deeper Catacombs ===
=== Crafting and Upgrade ===
# From the drop of the [[Black Death Catacombs]], head down the ramp, and head to the south side of the room, where you'll find an opening in the wall that leads to the [[Deeper Catacombs (Paradox)]] portal.
* The first step must be completed by someone with Alchemy, and the DC is very high. An Alchemy rare is effectively required.
#* {{Optional}} Loot {{Itemlink|Directives}} from one of the Tanada corpses scattered near the portal as part of the [[Tanada House of Water's Directives]] quest.
{{Crafting Recipe
# Work your way through the dungeon until you reach the ''Egg Room''. Loot an {{Itemlink|Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg}}, from the ground.
  |         Ingredients = 1 [[Activation Oil]], 1 [[Deactivated Olthoi Weapon Kit]], 1 [[Prepared Olthoi Acid]]
# Hand your [[Coruscating Olthoi Scent Gland]] to the [[Sealed Olthoi Passage (Door)|olthoi-style door]] and you'll be portaled to the [[Sealed Olthoi Passage]].
|              Result = 1 Empowered Olthoi Weapon Kit
#* {{Warning}} From here you have 2 hours of access to the Sealed Olthoi Passage. Should you die before reaching the Queen, olthoi-style door and you'll be portaled inside again.
}}
 
* '''Steps:'''
=== Part 3: Sealed Olthoi Passage ===
{{Recipe Table
# From the drop, go left at the first intersection then stick right until you come to a square room, take the NE passage.
  |        Ingredient 1 = Activation Oil
# You'll eventually come to a large room. Go east then south in the room, and take the passage down.
|        Ingredient 2 = Deactivated Olthoi Weapon Kit
# Stick to the right wall and you'll come to a jagged bridge over a pool of acid. Follow the bridge to the other side of the room.
  |              Result = Activated Olthoi Weapon Kit
#* '''Note:''' If anyone falls into the acid, there is a tunnel back up on the west side.
}}
# At the wishbone intersection go right, and then follow the hallway straight, ignoring all other cut-backs.
{{Recipe Table
# When you come to a dead-end pit, turn around, hold shift and jump down backwards into the pit to be portaled into the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen's lair. If you jump into the middle of the pit you will drop into the acid and not on the ledge. This will bring the queen before your party gets setup and if she gets up on the ledge she will kill everyone.
|         Ingredient 1 = Prepared Olthoi Acid
#* {{Warning}} When you portal in, '''''do not''''' move forward. This is a good place to rebuff and/or give final instructions.
|        Ingredient 2 = Activated Olthoi Weapon Kit
 
|               Result = Empowered Olthoi Weapon Kit
=== Part 4: Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen ===
}}
# You'll portal in on a ledge, overlooking the queen. There are a couple of strategies to killing the queen, however if you have a small/moderate size group, the best way is to setup on the mushroom on the far wall. 
# One person with high melee should lead the way for everyone to jump up onto the mushroom that is against the center of the far back wall
# From here, you're safe from melee attacks as long as you stay against the wall.
# Fully debuff the queen (including her UA & Strength), then attack.
# Once the queen dies, loot a {{Itemlink|Carapace Shard}} from her corpse.
#* She also drops one {{Itemlink|Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen's Head}}, which can be turned in for a title.
 
=== In Case of Death ===
# If anyone should die while fighting the queen, you can quickly get back by heading to the burrow east of [[Olthoi North]] at 44.5N 57.3E.
# Someone inside the Queen's Lair must use open the door to the burrow by using the [[Olthoi Cistern]] Lever, located in the corner of the Queen's Lair.
# Once the door opens, use the portal just inside to be portaled back to the Queens Lair.
#* Note: Access via this entrance is restricted to players who have entered the Queen's Lair within the past 2 hours.
 
=== Part 5: Rewards ===
# Return to the valley Tent at 43.8N 54.9E and hand the [[Carapace Shard]] to [[Ethan Wintermaine]] to receive a {{Itemlink|Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapon Token}} and a {{Itemlink|Braced Mana Forge Key}}.
#* Note: If you don't want a weapon, wand or shield, the token can be returned to Ethan Wintermaine for XP.
# If you looted a [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg]], it can be given to [[Adrien Swiftblade]] in the tent for experience.
# If you have the Queen's Head, hand it to [[Ethan Wintermaine]] for the title of ''Paradox-touched Queenslayer''.
# To obtain your weapon or shield, bring the token to one of the NPCs located in the northermost burrow inside the valley ([[Paradox Olthoi Refuge]], 43.5N 55.2E).
#* Note: Each NPC is holding the reward they give in exchange for the [[Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapon Token]].

;Opening Dialog
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Greetings citizen."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "If you're of a mind to help quell this invasion, I have a mission for you.  We've found that, with the increase in the infestation of this area, that the stronger Paradox-touched Olthoi have some capacity to pass beyond the Sealed Olthoi Passage that those aiding the Guard Swiftblade have found."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Those who have hunted them have been able to use these stronger Olthoi to gain passage beyond the door themselves."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Beyond that passage lies my mission for you.  It's a simple one, in concept anyways."
|Ethan Wintermaine smiles.
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Before we get to that, you'll need to bypass the Wards on the Deeper Catacombs Portal.  Guard Swiftblade, in the tent behind me, has more information in bypassing the Wards.  Speak to him if you need more information on that process."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Go beyond the passage, find the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen, and kill her.  Bring me back proof of her death, and I'll reward you for your part in it.  Be warned, however.  She's not a creature to be taken lightly, or hunted alone."


;Adrien Swiftblade
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Greetings.  If you're of a mind to help in this odd situation, I could certainly use your help."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Along with the rise of these strange new Olthoi, there is a Portal, warded by powerful magics, which formed in the Black Death Catacombs.  You may've seen it already, or you may not have."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Anyways, I've found a way to get the wards to drop for a time.  There is a Ward Guardian in a cave located in a heavily infested area nearby, around 43.6N, 55.5E.  When that thing dies, the wards falter for a time."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Be warned, however, the Ward Guardian has grown dramatically in strength since it first appeared.  It is now as strong or stronger than those twisted bugs that wander the inner areas of the infestation, and should not be taken lightly."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Once the Ward Guardian is dead, so you should be able to enter the Deeper Catacombs of the Paradox-touched Olthoi.  Once in there, look for anything that may be of use to use in our research and bring it back to me."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "If, for some reason, the Portal is closed again when you get there, you should find the Ward Guardian in his cave and kill him again."
|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "I would hurry though, every time the Ward Guardian dies, it's either reborn, recreated, or whatever roughly six hours after its death, and the Wards return with it."


;Defeating the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen
|As (Player) strikes the final blow against the Paradox-touched Olthoi Queen, a piercing howl fills your mind.  Amidst the horrifying noise in your skull, you hear the following words, "You may have stopped me for a time, but you will never be rid of me.  I am no simple insect that can be driven off or so simply destroyed.  My Master will rid the world of you pathetic meatbags, and we will usher a new age into this reality."


;Handing in Carapace Shard to Ethan Wintermaine
After killing the matron in EO West and talking to both NPCs in Eastwatch, gather 100 Small Olthoi Venom Sacs.  Travel to the Paradox Valley tent and buy:
|You give Ethan Wintermaine Carapace Shard.
 
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Ahh, you've killed her again.  Very good."
[[Deactivated Olthoi Weapon Kit]] - 100 [[Small Olthoi Venom Sac]]s

|Ethan Wintermaine gives you Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapon Token.
Then pick up [[Activation Oil]] from the table next to [[Peda]] in the Olthoi resistance pit.
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "Bring the token to one of the Olthoi Weaponcrafters in the valley below, and they'll exchange it for a weapon you may find very useful."
|Ethan Wintermaine tells you, "If you're not interested in the weapon, I can take the token back and reward you with something else appropriate."
|Ethan Wintermaine gives you Braced Mana Forge Key.


;Handing in Paradox-touched Olthoi Weapon Token to Ethan Wintermaine

|Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Where did you find this?"
