Walk Through
To begin this quest you must have completed the Tanada House of Storms, Tanada House of Earth, and then the Tanada House of Water] quest at least once before.
Head to Sawato and speak with Pau Yajin.
Pau Yajin tells you, "So you've already helped us investigate the three other Tanada temples! You are both brave and dedicated. I must ask your assistance as well, as my colleagues Sayuji Jina and Meshenq have already done."
Pau Yajin tells you, "I ask you to journey to the Tanada Temple of Black Water, in the swamp at 24.2 S, 57.1 E. There you must find the Tanada assassin known as the Master of the Depths. Slay him and bring me his jade medallion. I will need his medallion to be able to get to the bottom of the corruption of that clan of Tanada."
Run out to the Coordinates Pau Yajin gave you. There you will find a Sho Spire and a tunnel dug into the swamps and three Acolytes of the Depths. Enter the tunnel. You will be inside a very small cave. Work your way in and when you come across him kill the Black Water Gatekeeper. He will drop the Black Water Key, which unlocks the Black Water Threshold (resistance 9999) just down the hall. Behind the door is the portal to the Black Water Temple (no level restrictions, cannot be tied, recalled, or summoned).
Inside you will find more Acolytes of the Depths, a Virindi Consul, and the boss, the Master of the Depths. Like the previous Tanada Houses, it is very easy to run past the minions right to the boss. Kill the Master and loot the Jade Medallion of the Depths. Portal recall to return to Sawato. If you do not have item magic, hit the surface portal nearby and run back to Sawato. Hand over the medallion to Pau Yajin.
You give Pau Yajin Jade Medallion of the Depths.
Pau Yajin tells you, "You have done well to retrieve this medallion from the corrupted Master of Depths. You can see the corruption in the jade itself! What a terrible thing has happened to a once-noble House of Nanjou Shou-Jen. Our sources tell us that the key to the corruption of the Tanada can be found back at the Temple of Black Water. There is a Virindi Watcher there whose lair may be accessed through the Shrine of Black Water. Go back to the temple and use the shrine, and you should be able to find your way to the lair of the Watcher of Black Water..."
Head back to the Spire and use the shrine inside.
You feel a hot warmth wash over your entire body as the Shrine of Black Water seems to recognize you and pull you in...
The dungeon is very simple. You will again face Acolytes of the Depths, the stronger Fists of the Depths, a Virindi Consul, and the boss, Watcher of the Black Water. Loot the Mask of the Watcher of Black Water and the Black Water Watcher's Shard and return to Sawato.
You give Pau Yajin Mask of the Watcher of Black Water.
Pau Yajin tells you, "So it is done. The foul Virindi presence that has corrupted the Tanada has been rooted out. This will not save the souls of the Tanada who have already been corrupted, but at least we know what we are dealing with and can take appropriate steps. I am grateful for all the help you have given us."
You've earned 34,455,313 experience. (max reward)
Pau Yajin gives you Mask of the Depths.
Pau Yajin tells you, "If you don't need that mask, I'll take it back in exchange for practical training."
You give Pau Yajin Mask of the Depths.
Pau Yajin tells you, "Really? You're not interested in this lovely mask? Pity, I find it quite stylish. Still, if you don't want it..."
You've earned 6,891,063 experience. (max reward)
Pau Yajin is not interested in the message shard, but if you are, bring it to Diyas al-Yat to get it translated.
