Walk Through

Starting point

Talk to Gruuk'lar in Kor-Gursha. He'll tell you about the disappearance of Asheron and Torgluuk, and the Falatacot deep down in the Cavern appropriate to your level.

Levels and how to find the right dungeon

Travel to:

Level Catacomb Cavern to find
1-40 directly Muggy Guruk Caverns Abbess Kivit
41-80 Northern Catacombs Humid Guruk Caverns Abbess Tir'Livik
81-120 Eastern Catacombs Steamy Guruk Caverns Matriarch Vik'Liri Di
120+ Southern Catacombs Deep Guruk Caverns Matriarch Mirta'kir

Navigation

To find the caverns: proceed as followed: The dungeon consists of organically shaped, circling huge rooms, which are connected by twisting corridors. Easy to lose your sense of direction here. However, except a room with a portal and a room to which I refer to as the "10 exit" room, most rooms have only one way in, and one way out. General idea is.. down is good.


Portal in. Behind you are exit portals, in front you can either go left or right. It doesn't matter which way, since the dungeon is symmetrical, but to keep it easy, go right first.

Run through the corridor, till you exit from the N into the first room. Hug the left wall, soon to your left (W) is the next corridor. It twists, and you exit from the W into the next room. Hug left again, and soon to the S is the next corridor. It twists, and you exit in a room where you see a portal exit. If you want to go on to the Cavern, go further down. Do not take the corridor on the other side of the portal, or you will indeed run in a circle.

Run half a circle N, till you see 3 trees. Opposite these trees are 2 corridors going S and down. It doesn't matter which one you take. The corridor goes down and up again, and you exit in the next circular room from the N. Run S in half a circle, take one of the 2 N going corridors.

You'll be in a corridor with pillars, which winds first N, then to the E. At a certain moment, you see a ramp to the S. This will turn quickly till you face N again, and exit in a huge circular room again, with a total of 10 exits.

Run half a circle again, till you see one of the 2 exits N, close to 2 exits S. Go down, and you'll be in a room with a ramp in the middle.

Go down ramp and in a corridor with pillars, a bit straight is portal to the Cavern of your level. Two exit portals here too.


The other exits in the "10 exit room": The E and W one twist till they split off. Go further S (and down) and it twists and you end back in room, go further E or W and you run through 2 rooms, second one has an exit portal. Two of the S exits have single, dead end rooms.


Navigating the Caverns and killing the Falatacot

General idea is: east.. east.. east and a bit north

From drop, head east and follow the corridor. At the first intersection, go left (N) into a big room with two ramps.
Go East down the ramp and keep going east till you can go into a corridor to the east. Follow this corridor with more ramps down, into another bigger room.
Go N, and at the end, go right into the corridor to the East (for the 120+, to the left, west, is one of the rooms where Bosh Bosh can spawn).
Hug the right wall, and another bigger room.
Go down, and take the corridor to the east, and keep going east (the corridor will circle), you will get another curve, and are facing westward into another big room.
This is were it can get nasty. Best is to try to try to lure the other creatures one by one to your corridor, until you get the boss lady herself for your group.


The Falatacot Madames are located deep deep in the Caverns and guarded by different minions.
1-40 has Tormented Servant; 41-80 has Tormented Attendant; 81-120 has Tormented Consort and Tormented Patriarch; 120+ has Tormented Imperial Consort

Lore & Dialog

Gruuk'lar tells you, "Greetings, traveler from Dereth."
Gruuk'lar tells you, "Don't look too surprised that I know your language. We've had one of your people here for some time, teaching us of your ways. Teaching us of this metal you call 'Pyreal' and of how to engage in 'Commerce'."
Gruuk'lar tells you, "But I digress. I'm no gatherer or 'merchant' to trade in such things. I'm a guardian of this small Tribe, and my Clutch helps protect and hide this place from the others."
Gruuk'lar tells you, "There are four caverns which have become connected to this cavern via magic, "Portals" I have heard them called. They appeared the same time Torgluuk and Asheron disappeared, and occasionally Guruk come through them to attack us. I have sent hunters from my Clutch, but none have returned, and I can't afford to send more, as we must be ready to defend the village."
Gruuk'lar tells you, "These Guruk who attack us seem to be being controlled by those your people call Falatacot. The False Gods of our hated Fiazhat enemies. Travel into these 'Portals', destroy these False Gods, and bring proof of their demise to me, and I will reward you."
Gruuk'lar looks you over.
Gruuk'lar tells you, "There is a portal to the Southern Catacombs, down the tunnel to the Northeast of here. In the depths of those catacombs, you will find the portal to the Deep Guruk Caverns."


Gruuk'lar tells you, "Have you had any success in destroying the Falatacot who seek to control our world?"
Gruuk'lar tells you, "There is a portal to the Southern Catacombs, down the tunnel to the Northeast of here. In the depths of those catacombs, you will find the portal to the Deep Guruk Caverns."


You give Gruuk'lar Ornate Falatacot Medallion.
Gruuk'lar looks the medallion over, sniffing at it.
Gruuk'lar tells you, "There is strange magic on this. I will send it to our Shaman, and see what they can learn from it. Thank you. It is a clue, and with it, we may be able to track down more information."
Gruuk'lar tells you, "Take this."
You've earned 60,000,000 experience.
Gruuk'lar declares you an ally of the Ruuk.


Showing him the Illuminated Falatacot Scroll gives:
You allow Gruuk'lar to examine your Illuminated Falatcot Scroll.
Gruuk'lar tells you, "I cannot read these strange Fiazhat symbols, and looking at it brings pain to my eyes. Do you know any of your people that can translate such old and forbidden runes? I believe your people refer to the Fiazhat 'Gods' as Falatacot."
Gruuk'lar tells you, "If this scroll you have found can aid us in finding Torgluuk and his companion, Asheron, My people will honor and reward you for a translation of it."

After translating it by Fanzen San in Hebian-To, he tells you to either bring it to Gruuk'lar or to Hasin Lin in Sawato:

You give Fanzen San the Translator Illuminated Scroll.
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Oh my! Where did you get this?"
You explain to Fanzen San about your travels to Bur, and about the Ruuk Village."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "This note is very disturbing. If you took it from one to whom it was addressed, then you have repaid one small revenge for Asheron."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "I will not tell you what to do with this translation, but I'd like to suggest that Hasin Lin, in Sawato, may be able to make use of this information to find Asheron."
Fanzen San the Translator tells you, "Take it to Hasin Lin, or that Ruuk Village Guardian, Gruuk'lar. The choice is up to you."


Though now retired, this scroll gave you the title of "Seeker of Torgluuk" (giving it to Gruuk'lar) or "Seeker of Asheron" (handing in to Hasin Lin):

You give Hasin Lin Translated Falatacot Scroll.
Hasin Lin looks over the translated scroll.
Hasin Lin tells you, "You found this on Bur?"
You tell Hasin Lin about your dealing on Bur, and of the Ruuk, Gruuk'lar.
Hasin Lin tells you, "A grand tale. I will take this and look into it. Perhaps, with some investigation, I can use this to find Asheron's location on Bur. Allow me to reward you."
You've earned 30,000,000 experience.
Hasin Lin awards you the title, Seeker of Asheron.
