Walk Through
Part 1: Creating the Portal Gem
- 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.
- Warning: Be careful 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Down below is the final room where A Shadow of Black Ferah is found along with the Remnants of Ilservian laid out on altar, 10 vials of the the blood spawn on Ilservian's remains.
- Once you have killed enough spawns for everyone to get a vial of blood, recall out or use the nearby surface portal.
- 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.

Notes
- During the Master of Arms event, the skill was changed from Sword to Heavy Weapons for all the reward Sword of Lost Light, the spells adjusted accordingly. The base damage remains unchanged.
- During the Into the Darkness event, the Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer dungeon was updated with more difficult creatures and became non-recallable.
- During the Unfinished Business event, the 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.
