Quest Overview

Access to the floating Mhoire Castle has finally been achieved. Secure the wards of three guardians in Graveyard before entering the castle to complete several trials, after which you are able to enter the Great Hall and confront the Shade of Lord Rytheran. There are also a few miniquests inside the castle. Rewards include Ancient Mhoire Coins, substantial xp, and multiple pulls on a special tier 7 loot chest (it may have a higher chance than normal of producing epics).

Walk Through

Graveyard - Courtyard Flagging

1. Use Ancient Stones at 66.5S 44.7W to get the Strange Jewel and a lore item. The lore item can be translated in Kuyiza in Zaikhal (optional). All party members must use the Ancient Stones (the Guardian Statue won't accept the brands you will pick up if you have not used the stones and have the Strange Jewel).
2. Use Strange Jewel near SW bunker of the five near GY Colo building at 65.0S 44.2W to spawn Lady Saliane who spawns inside bunker. Kill for 3 items (1 per person).
3. Use Strange Jewel near edge of graveyard SW of the pyre oak chest at 66.6S 45.2W to spawn Lord Hendrel in the open. Kill for 2nd item.
4. Use Strange Jewel under floating castle at 65.1S 45.5W to spawn Lord Trimere in the open for final, 3rd item.
5. Hand all three items to the right (east) gargoyle statue that normally starts the GY colo in order (Saliane, Hendrel, Trimere).
6. A blue portal will briefly open to the right that only people who have handed the three candles can enter. If you are group flagging, each person will need to hand their candles one after the other. This is a permanent flag, anytime in the future you can use the statue to reopen the portal (this may change in the future).
   • Warning: When using the statue after flagging, if you have an Ornate Bone Key in your possession, a dialog will open asking if you want to enter Lord Mhoire's Tomb, click NO or else you will lose your key.
7. Go to NE corner of platform and find portal to tower (it currently does not show on radar, but should be fixed later).

Note: While you do not need to repeat the flagging portion to get into the castle, handing a new set of three candles gives 100 million and the coin again (6 day timer on picking up the candles, 13 days on ring).

Southeast Tower - Flames of Courage

1. Talk to the Shade of Antemy at the drop to flag for the 3 trials. There are also 2 other NPCs in the lobby that give other mini quests that can be repeated every 20 hours for a coin and xp.
2. From the drop, stick left until you reach a large room; take the SE corner door then stick left into through to another large room; take the NW door then stick left to the first test.
   
3. This test requires you to talk to the Guardian of Mhoire Statue in the middle of a room filled with Flame Guardian creatures and insta-kill flaming skulls. Watch the patterns or pop a Flame Protection rare. Talk to the statue to receive a Sword of Courage, then kill Flame Guardians, when they die their corpse becomes usable for 1-3 seconds.
4. Use their corpse (it'll be a yellow dot like an NPC) to receive a flame. Collect 10 then talk to the Guardian of Mhoire Statue to finish.

Northwest Tower - Rite of Wisdom

1. From the drop, stick left to a large room and take the NW door then stick left through to another large room; take the SE door and stick left to the next test.
2. For this test you will be harassed by several Guardian Statues that respawn as fast as you can kill them. They spam bludgeon wars so you will either need someone to run around to distract them or use a Bludgeon Ward rare or a Magic Defense rare to avoid death.
3. This test requires you to talk to the Guardian of Mhoire statue who will send you a block of green text similar to the following:

   DJZZKKE FBKV PTJ EKZCABKN MTNK

   KLZB OJLNE CV TNEKN CD PTJN ZBTNK

   XBK WCNDX XTJZB FCVED FBKNK WLMZTVD DTLN

   XBK VKUX BKLN ZNLDBCVO FLHKD TV DBTNK

   XBK XBCNE DKKQ ELIZCVO WMLIKD XBLX NTLN

   XBK MLDX WCVE DXNTVOKDX ITJVXLCV ZTNK

   RLVCDBIKVX WTN L ZBTCZK ITDX ATTN

   DJZZKDD LVE XBKV C ILNQ XBK ETTN

4. The middle 4 lines are the important part. Their order is random and dictates which statues to use first. Above is a full translation so I'll just give a quick way to reason it out:
   1. DTLN = Air
   2. DBTNK = Water
   3. NTLN = Flame
   4. ZTNK = Earth
5. Use them in order (out of order will portal you to the drop) then talk to the Guardian of Mhoire statue to complete this task.
   

Southwest Tower - Flames of Virtue

1. From the drop, stick left to a large room and take the NW door. From here, stick left to another large room; use the SW door then stick left to another large room. # In here simply take the NE door and stick left to the third test.
2. This room brings back the insta-kill skulls (flame rare helps). Talk to the Guardian of Mhoire statue to receive a Sword of Virtue and a green message dictating which flame to drop it in.
3. The map to the right shows the names and locations of the flames. When you drop the Sword of Virtue into a flame you'll receive a green message telling you where next to drop it. If you give it ot the wrong one or hand it in twice on accident (sometimes it'll tell you to drop it in one again, that's fine) then talk to the statue to get a new one.
4. Eventually you'll get a message saying to bring it back to the statue; do that and you'll pass the final test.

Great Hall - Cleansing the Throne

1. Talk to the Shade of Antemy at the drop to flag for the Grand Hall portal across the room from him. Head inside and you'll be in a series of rooms with various doors. Take the following:
   1. South double door
   2. NE double door
   3. East then North corner
   4. NW double door
   5. NW double door
   6. North then West corner (killable doors)
   7. SW double door
   8. South double door (killable doors)
      
      
2. You'll now be in the Mhoire Throne Room. Each person with you -must- use the Throne. The Shade of Lord Rytheran (Undead, weak to fire/acid) will spawn along with numerous GY creatures. When he dies, he may drop some GY coins and will always drop 9 green rings. Take this ring to the Shade of Antemy (talk to him, don't hand him it) to receive your rewards:

• Champion of House Mhoire title
• 50% xp towards your next level (no cap)
• 2 GY coins
• 5-pull Mhoire Treasurey Chest Key (misc. MFK loot). One of the chests is found on the path from the killable door in the Throne Room on the South wall (stick left to get to one, stick right to get to the other). There is a 2nd past the throne room through a killable door.
• Mhoire Treasury Chests always drop at least 2 level 8 spell components, as well as MFK type loot.

Notes

• The statue/portal in Graveyard is currently bugged and an always open portal has been placed in the center of Hebian-To by the devs. You can use this portal once flagged if you can't use the statue.
• Similar to how ghosts used to not always drop bodies, the same issue seems to be true for the Flame Guardians, when they are winding up to cast and are killed there's no corpse.
• The ring has a 2 week timer on pickup, but you must complete the three tower trials again before the Shade of Antemy will reward you for repeat runs.
