Walk Through

1. Speak to Varetha at 44.4S 62.5W. He is southwest of the Obsidian Rim portal drop (accessible from Caul or Aerlinthe drops).

2. Run south to Black Ferah's Vault at 39.1S 60.1W. Near the end of the dungeon Commander Jared Kurth drops the key for the final room where the Experimental Shadow Stone spawns on an altar. Kurth can be safely warred from the tunnel north of his room.

3. Return the Experimental Shadow Stone to Varetha at 44.4S 62.5W and then go to the dungeon Mukkir Infested Black Spear Temple at 37.2S 67.0W. It is in the center of a large circlular ridge just west of the portal drop for Mid-VoD or you can run there from the Obsidian Rim portal drop. One spot to climb up onto the ridge is at 36.6S 66.9W.

4. Near the start of the dungeon is an L shaped room with falling ice balls that are very damaging. Watch the pattern and run along the left wall shortly after you see the ice ball closest to the entrance fall. In the middle of the dungeon are many spawn traps on the floor, they can be avoided by sticking to the side wall or by jumping over them. Near the end you'll come to a large pit, first jump to the north platform (strong, straight normal jump), then jump to the lower south platform (same jump).

5. Once you have passed through the Grael's Chamber portal at the bottom of the dungeon you can use the portal at the start of the dungeon to quickly return if you should die. Healers and debuffers can safely remain at the jump if, they wish. Once Grael has died, loot the Shadow Chest Key and the Shard of the Black Spear and enter the Trophy Room portal. The Ancient Reliquary always includes a rare item.

6. Return the Black Spear to Varetha at 44.4S 62.5W for XP, a title token, and a house hook casting device, the Black Spear of Mukkir Strength. You can also return the house hook item to Varetha for more XP.

7. Give the Mukkir Aspect Slayer Title Token to Hoshar ibn Jalaq in Ayan Baqur to obtain the Greater Mukkir Slayer Stone.

Lore & Dialog

Varetha touches your forehead, sending a dark chill throughout your body.
Varetha tells you, "My Lord, Isin Dule, has sent me to aid you in the containing of the Mukkir Aspect of Grael. Though it will be a difficult thing to accomplish, this can be done. To do so, however, we will need to gather the proper tools."
Varetha tells you, "There is a Shadow Stone, created in Black Ferah's experiments, that should do nicely. I have managed to locate the stone, but so have Grael's followers. Gather this stone for me, and I should be able to modify it to hold Grael's Mukkir Aspect for a time. I will attune you to the defenses of the location..."
Varetha tells you, "You will find the stone at 39.1 S, 60.1 W. Go there and retrieve the stone. While you are gone, I will prepare what I need to modify it."

Place it somewhere secure, like those homes you build for your people, and you should be able to tap its power there."
