Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg Quest
Level: 60
Type: Solo
Starts With: Adrien Swiftblade
Starts At: 43.8N, 54.9E in Paradox-touched Valley
Repeat: 20 Hours

Overview

When first introduced, the Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian was only a nymph. The guardian and the minions in its dungeon have since been upgraded, and it is no longer possible for a character of the intended level range for this quest to kill the guardian. You will instead have to wait until the guardian has been killed in preparation for the Prodigal Olthoi quest.

Walkthrough & Notes

  1. Adrien Swiftblade will inform you on the status of the ward guardian.
  2. If it is still alive, kill the Paradox-touched Olthoi Ward Guardian, or alternatively wait for it to be killed, thus dropping the ward on the Deeper Catacombs portal found inside the Black Death Catacombs.
  3. Go to the Black Death Catacombs and enter the Deeper Catacombs.
  4. Work your way down to the bottom where you will find a room full of Paradox-touched Olthoi Eggs. Grab an egg.
  5. Return to Adrien Swiftblade for your reward.

Dialog

Adrien Swiftblade (Ward Guardian status
dead)

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, "The Ward Guardian is presently 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 the Portal is closed again when you get there, you should find the Ward Guardian in his cave and kill him."

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, "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."
Handing in Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg

You give Adrien Swiftblade Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg.

Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "An Olthoi egg?"

You explain to Adrien Swiftblade the circumstances of the catacombs and of the egg room.

Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Damn. So, it seems this new threat is one that won't go away lightly. Nothing is ever simple in this world."

Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "I'll send this along to our researchers. Perhaps, with time and effort, we can find out where these new Olthoi came from, and find a way to put a stop to them before the threat they pose grows worse."

Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "You've done this world a great service today. Please, allow me to reward you for your efforts."

You've earned 18,397,757 experience.
Handing in Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg (Quest Repeats)

You give Adrien Swiftblade Paradox-touched Olthoi Egg.

Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Another egg."

Adrien Swiftblade sighs

Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "I'm glad you've brought me this, as the researchers needed another, but I had vainly hoped these would run out eventually. Ah well, such is life in Dereth, I guess."

Adrien Swiftblade tells you, "Please, allow me to reward you for your noble and necessary efforts."

You've earned 6,132,586 experience.
