Walkthrough

Collect horror essences

Quest giver: Phago the Glutton
Item(s) needed: 2xOtherworldly Essence, 2xForgotten Essence

Obtain the quest from Phago the Glutton who wanders around the fountain in the deity gate port in area in Plane of Nightmare.

Collect two essences from two separate horrors in and around the Greenmist area.

• Collect two Otherworldly Essences from a dimensional horror near the old plain of fear portal in Greenmist Jungle.
• Collect two Forgotten Essences from a forgotten spawn in the basement of the Hidden Temple of Yaralith.

Turn all four of these essence into Phago and he will send you on another errand.

Collect wraith orbs

Quest giver: Phago the Glutton
Item(s) needed: Orb of Doom, Orb of Anguish, Orb of Night
Reward(s): 40,000 experience points

Phago asks you to go around Freeport and collect 3 different orbs from 3 different wraiths, turn all 3 in and he sends you on another errand.

• The Doom Wraith (+209, -91) Can be found in North Freeport, Hall of Truth.
• The Night Wraith (+93, +275) Can be found in North Freeport, Temple of Marr.
• The Anguish Wraith (-82, -271) Can be found in East Freeport, in the tunnels, near the shadows.

They drop the Orb of Doom, Anguish, and Night, I received either 30K or 40K for doing quest, and a slight increase to my deity bonus. All three mobs were dark blue, but soloable.

Collect Amulets of Althuna

Quest giver: Phago the Glutton
Item(s) needed: 10xAmulet of Althuna
Reward(s): 65,000 experience points, Servant‘s Badge of Dis

Meet with Phago again and go through a script about how he lied to you and that he must pay. He spawns a carrion wyrm which you must kill, then you get sent on next quest. Now he wants ten Amulets of Althuna which drop from any of the following:

• a paladin initiate and a Hand of Althuna which can be found in both north and South Newport.
• a murdered paladin or a battle priest which can be found in North Kaladim.
• a forsaken paladin from the Hall of Truth and the Temple of Marr in North Freeport.

Note: If you choose to fight in Kaladim and you are bound with the blackscale faction then you should go ahead and loot the Spectral Amulet of Peity as they are needed once you get to the blackscale quests in Northern Kaladim.

Hand ten amulets to Phago. You'll recieve 65,000 experience and an alignment adjustment. Phago gives you a Servant‘s Badge of Dis, then sends you to talk to Dis, daughter of Marlow.

Mixing a Green Muse

Quest giver: Dis, Daughter of Marlow
Item(s) needed: Black Blood, Savage Frenzy, distilled terror, a Crafted Vial of Marlow
Reward(s): Improved Amulet of Marlow

You have to wander the maze and find Dis, Daughter of Marlow. Dis wants you to gain the trust of a corrupt paladin named Deirdre Grey then poison her with the Green Muse.

Note: She will also upgrade your Amulet of Marlow, but be advised that the recommended level increases to 65 and thus you cannot get back to Plane of Nightmare unless you are level 65.

After obtaining the quest from Dis, you have to talk to a dreampeddler at the area where you port in. He sends you after three ingrediants:

• Black Blood dropped off of wraiths commonly found in the badlands.
• Savage Frenzy this has to be brewed up by a rogue with close to 150 Make Poison skill and requires Lion Blood and wisterol.
• distilled terror from eldernals, random drop inside the castle.

To mix the Muse you need to be a high level alchemist as the finished product is no drop or you need a Crafted Vial of Marlow which can be bought from the goblin vendor found in Erimal for 500 platinum (by hailing him). However, you must have a Seeker Rune to get into the city, which is obtained from the Main Quest.

Of Misplaced Trust

Quest giver: Dis, Daughter of Marlow
Item(s) needed: N/A
Reward(s): 10,200 experience points, Champion’s Badge of Dis

Once you have obtained Green Muse find Deirdre Grey in Kelethin (-215, -268). You must gain her trust in order to poison her with the Green Muse.

Deirdre is mistrustful, however, because of the dream sent by Dis she gives you a chance to prove yourself. First she sends you to collect 20 bone chips to show your devotion. You'll gain 200 experience points for this portion

Next she sends you to chase after a zombie that has eluded her wrath. You must kill a shambling abomination found in Cauldron of Dawn. You'll gain 10,000 experience points for this portion.

Note: This is a blue con to a 60 and only hits for 30-60 on my shd but hits very fast. It also has around 30k hp so takes awhile to kill with a duo. It wanders from the northeast corner of map south along the shore. It goes down and around to the underwater entrance to Kedge keep and north to the island. It goes past the island and plays in the water a little before turning around to retrace its steps. As a SHD or NEC you can use Sense the Dead to find it on the east side of map but when you get close to the portal, the portal is flagged as being undead so it messes up the sensor. You can just stay on the island near the portal (-400, -850) and watch for the zombie as it will eventually wander paston the west side of the portal. It only spawns at night and has a respawn time of about 10 minutes.

The next task is to travel to the Towers of Agony to free one of the captives there. A tormented victim is being held by gibberlings in north east corner of zone, hail him to start a dialog after which a the mob will respawn as a level 65 chill touched victim, quad hits for up to 300. Kill it and loot the shackles.

Return to Deirdre Grey and hand in the shackles. She will then ask for help killing and mob she will spawn. You answer her and she tells you to follow her to the ground below. The npc will spawn quickly (forgot the name, white con @lvl 65). Kill the npc (I assume you do not want Deirdre Grey to die here so be careful and take aggro asap). Deirdre Grey falls to the ground. Hail her and go through the chat then hand her the Green Muse

Return to Dis for new instructions and to upgrade your aug to Champion’s Badge of Dis
