Couragebringer (alt quest for those not in possession of 1.0):
[ ] Talk to Baltron Werters in Plane of Valor, 2nd Castle near gate (approx. loc 627, 148 ). After dialog tree, he sends you to deliver Solvent to Gilfal. Receive: Solvent. Find Gilfal in South Ro (he's now located in the SE corner of SRo. his new location is -361, -2445 -thanks Boulderbasher). Tell him "I am willing to help you rebuild Couragebringer." After he responds, hand him the solvent. Receive the solvent back plus Gilfal's Scabbard, a six slot container. He tells you to gather the four pieces of the sword and place them plus solvent in the Scabbard.

The Four Pieces:
[ ] Kill Neffiken, Lord of Kelek`Vor in Plane of Storms. Small raid force. You must kill all the giants in, and around the forest giant fort. Once that's done, he will become targetable, and remain so, until the first one you killed respawns. Loot: Broken Sword Piece.
[ ] Kill Kaniz Painbringer in Plane of Torment. 1-2 groupable. He spawns in the area that you go to do the key event for Saryrn's Tower, furthest south in the zone (approx. loc -1075, 900). Loot: Broken Sword Piece.
[ ] Kill Maestro of Rancor in Plane of Hate. Small raid force. Loot: Broken Sword Piece.

[ ] Everfrost: Rombus' Request:
Zone into Everfrost with all three of the above Broken Sword Pieces. Locate Rombus, whose text reveals that he has the 4th piece, which he will give to you for a price: [four runes] located in Mistmoore Castle, Plane of Tranquility, Scarlet Desert, and the Gulf of Gunthak. The runes are ground spawns:
[ ] Rune of Yirno (approx. loc 12, 411) in Mistmoore. It's in the GY.
[ ] Rune of Xor (approx. loc -566, 222) in PoTranq. Underwater on the right side of the bridge as you head to PoS.
[ ] Rune of Zota (approx. loc 625, -1000) in Scarlet. The ruined building up on the ledge where you do the shard camp.
[ ] Rune Wilan (approx. loc -850, -950) in Gunthak. On the shore under some wreckage.

Upon turning in the 4 runes, receive the final Broken Sword Piece.

Combine the 4 Pieces Solvent in Scabbard to create Fractured Couragebringer. Hand this to Gilfal, who will hand it back.

Hand in the Fractured Couragebringer to Baltron Werters in PoV. He will keep it for a few moments. He will then spawn the 'Avatar of Rathalzor' who will bless and remake the sword in it's entirely. He tells you to "return it to the might Crusader." Which simply means you may now speak to Irak, and receive the invisible flags for 1.5.

[ ] Results in: Couragebringer.
-------------------------

[ ] Epic quest if you have 1.0

[ ] Talk to Irak Altil, in Halls of Honor, you have to go through his text to get an invisible flag, he basically asks you to seek out souls and rescue them. This happens in the form of soul shard collection and soulstones. He will not respond if you do not have 1.0, or it's alternate, or if you are not 65 plus.
---Note: To find him head to the Halls of Honor B warp gate. When facing the gate turn about 180 degrees. Walk straight forward to the temple area that is directly ahead of you and you will find him (Irak Atil) there (approx. loc 7, -1363).

---Note: Parts I, II, & III can, reportedly, be done in any order.

Part I - Rithnok's Soulstone
[ ] Talk to Enic Ruklin, in the Temple of Life, in Northern Qeynos. He will speak of an iksar who stole a fish. Go through his text, as I don't know if you get an invisible flag here.
Next, talk to Brunar Rankin, the barbarian on the East Freeport dock. He's on the lower level of the docks. A single hail will give you An Iksar's note. The note lists 4 locations.
---Note: You have to have the invisible flag from Irak for the proper response from these NPCs.

At each of these four locations, you grab a pole, some bait, and go fishing. When you fish a dark fish's scale, this is a trigger for A Corrupted Koalindl to pop. It's good to have a tracker as all the locations aren't exacted. The fish themselves do not have a lot of hitpoints (maybe 3 or 4k at most), but do hit relatively solidly (up to 500). They can also flurry. When the fish get low, they run, and are unrootable.
---Note: You have to have the invisible flag from Irak to fish the scales. Also, reportedly, you must have a fishing skill >100.

[ ] First fishing spot: Ocean of Tears
"I fished on the sister island. When the koalindl popped, it aggroed me, near the dock." Kill it, loot A Corrupted Koalindl's Heart.
[ ] Second fishing spot: Overthere
"Finding the fish pop spot here is harder. It pops near (approx. loc 3800, -2000)." Kill it, loot A Corrupted Koalindl's Heart.
[ ] Third Fishing spot: Gulf of Gunthak
"I swam to the coastline and fished there. When it popped, it popped out a bit from shore, near the middle." Kill it, loot A Corrupted Koalindl's Heart.
[ ] Fourth Fishing spot: Nedaria's Landing
"I fished out in the ocean, directly out from the wayfarers camp, to the right of the first pier there. The fish popped nearby. The water is clear, so easier to see him." Kill it, loot A Corrupted Koalindl's Heart.

---Note: Quotes by Ragaroth, The Seventh Hammer.

[ ] Give Enic Ruklin the 4 hearts. Receive: Seal of Enic.

Freeing Rithnok
Head to Skyfire. Find Dry Sapara at the gate to Veeshan's peak. A single hail from him with the seal in your inventory gives you a paragraph of text, asking to find Rithnok. This also spawns Rithnok.

Rithnok pops to the left of the VP entrance, as you're facing outwards from it. Level 68, hits for 800ish, flurries, high MR. Our level 66 stuns will hit him. He is undead, proc's HT infrequently. Bring a group to be safe.

[ ] Kill Rithnok, loot Rithnok's Soulstone. HAND THIS to Dry Sapara. Dry Sapara hands it back to you as a 4 slot container.

Rithnok's Soulstone Shards
Collect 4 soulstone shards to complete Rithnok's Soulstone. All ground spawns found in OoW.
---Note: All these soulstones are fairly easy to find, as they look like the glowing blue orb graphic (i.e. Zlandicar's heart, Xegony fists)

[ ] Dranik's Scar (approx. loc 1000, 100). As you head to Bloodfields, it's at the bottom of the large ramp between the two towers.
[ ] Bloodfields (approx. loc 450, 730). It's in a hut under a noc's foot, as you head towards the Castle housing the Ruins of Dranik zoneout.
[ ] Noble's Causeway (approx. loc -900, -350). As you run towards Wall of Slaughter, keep an eye peeled on the depressed area, as you're running on a raised platform most of the way. The shard is visible from a good distance.
[ ] Ruins of Dranik (approx. loc -500, 360). Go through Murkglider alley, once you exit it to the general south of the Bridgekeeper's area, swing a right out of the tunnel entrance, and go across the way, up a small hill overlooking a camp. Stay left and high on the ridge, until around back of the camp, then down the hill to the shard. BE CAREFUL HOWEVER. There are a bunch of named Kyvs here, that see invis from a great distance.

[ ] Combine the 4 soulstone shards in Rithnok's Soulstone. Results in: Rithnok's Soulstone.

Part II - Drema's Soulstone
[ ] Talk to Mikhal Young, in Dawnshroud Peaks (approx. loc 1340.84, -1287.55). Receive: Drema's Locket.
[ ] Talk to Drema Young, in Mons Letalis (approx. loc 837.45, -1282.73). Give her the locket. Receive: Drema's Fingerbone.
[ ] Return to Mikhal Young. Give him the fingerbone. Receive: Drema's Fingerbone.
[ ] Talk to Denns Rootenpaw (gnome in same camp, by the fire). Give him the fingerbone. Receive: A Bone Collector's Bag.
---Note: You have to have the invisible flag from Irak for the proper response from these NPCs.

Dark Skeleton Remains
[ ] Umbral Plains - Disturbed Elysian Remains
[ ] Ssraeshza Temple - A Soriz Slave, a Soriz Skeleton or Plagued Soriz in the mines
[ ] The Grey - Sun Revenants

[ ] Combine the bones in the bag and return it to Denns Rootenpaw. Receive: Enchanted Bone Powder.

Freeing Drema
[ ] Give the powder to Drema and be prepared, as she attacks you. She is a paladin, uses LH and heals, summons, high MR, unstunnable, hits for 700 , has about 20-25khp. Bring a friend or two. Once killed Drema respawns immediately in her non KoS form. Loot: Drema's Soulstone, 2 slot container.

Drema's Soulstone Shards
[ ] Kill Coterie Corruptor in Tenebrous Mountains. Soloable, though a friend makes it much easier. Coterie castle (approx. loc 656, -1100), 3rd floor. Loot: A Soulstone Shard.
[ ] Kill Shade of Mujaki the Devourer in Plane of Nightmares. 24 person raid limit. The first part of the Mujaki event is the same as it's always been but AFTER you kill Mujaki the Devourer, Shade of Mujaki the Devourer pops right on top. Hits for max 1150, AE rampages, not really that much harder but just has many hp's. Shade is red to a lvl 70. Mujaki dropped normal loot, his Shade dropped the second shard. Loot: A Soulstone Shard.
---Note: Make sure that you zone into PoN with the container and first shard on you. ALSO, YOU need to be the one to start the event.

[ ] Combine the 2 shards in Drema's Soulstone. Results in: Drema's Soulstone.

Part III - Reiya's Soulstone
[ ] Talk to Lovine Lemise, in Abysmal Sea (near the soulbinder). She will ask you to collect a few things. Receive: Lovine's Potion Bag.
---Note: You have to have the invisible flag from Irak for the proper response from these NPCs. (Though, by skipping to the next line of text, you can still receive the potion bag.)

[ ] Potameid Seaweed Strands: Drops in Natimbi off An Entrapped Potameid. Pain in the ass to get if you don't have a tracker. Potameids are in the far SW corner of the zone, out in the water.
[ ] Mastruq Havocblade Blood: Drops in Qinimi off Mastruq Havocblades. A healer/slower/dps smooths the killing over in the Temple where the BiC trial is.
[ ] Noc Fleshfeaster Tail: Drops in Riwwi off Noc Fleshfeasters. A healer/slower/dps smooths the killing over near the Coliseum area.
[ ] Ra'tuk Screambringer's Jaw: Drops in Barindu off Ra'tuk Screambringers. A healer/slower/dps smooths the killing over at either Qinimi or Riwwi zonelines.

[ ] Combine these items in the potion bag and return it to Lovine. She will ask you to give Reiya a potion of Breathless Mist. Give Reiya the potion. Receive: Reiya's Soulstone, 2 slot container.
---Note: Breathless Mist is an LDoN alchemy potion.

Reiya's Soulstone Shards
[ ] Kill The Shade of Reiya the Pained in Ferubi (will spawn no more than a dozen mobs deep from Qinimi zoneline). Take a group. Zoing into Ferubi with Reiya's Soulstone on you triggers the spawn. Hits about 500, flurries, unslowable. Loot: A Soulstone Shard.
[ ] Kill Vuranish Xxuro in Vxed special raid instance. 24 person raid limit. You get this instance from Apprentice Udrana (same guy as normal instances). The only way you can get it is by being in a raid of 10 to 24 people before requesting an instance. YOU must be the one to request the instance. YOU must have Reiya's Soulstone, and the first soulstone shard on you. It is the same map as the normal one, but the mobs are level 71-74. Vuranish Xxuro, a giant Aneuk, level 75, casts PoTime's Terris Thule's AE, Quivering Nightmares. Get to him by going up the right (through less mobs), or up the center. Melee range for spells, high MR, shaman slowable, hits around 2k. Loot: A Soulstone Shard.

[ ] Combine the 2 shards in Reiya's Soulstone. Results in: Reiya's Soulstone.

Part IV - Redis' Soulstone
This soulstone is intact, there are no shards to collect.

With the 3 Soulstones in your inventory, go to Nedaria's Landing. Head towards the open saw mill near the waterfall, if you follow the mouth of the river. Redis Linrok is an erudite, sitting there in a corner (approx. loc 843, -207). All it takes is a hail to get the expedition. Make sure you're in a group as there may be a bug that causes the expedition to vanish quickly if you're ungrouped.

The expedition he gives you is in Ruins of Dranik, same map. Might as well have your group there and ready to zone in. You get the standard blue line for the expedition, nothing really sees invis in the area you would get an expedition in.

Redis is in the NE corner of the zone, and it's a long distance from zone-in. In his room, hug the walls. Good to have a bard/monk puller as 2-3 mobs in the room can aggro. Clear a few mobs in his room, and he comes solo.

Casts two AE's. PoFire's Arch Mage Yozanni's AE, Disjunction of Flame, and PoTime's Terris Thule's AE, Quivering Nightmares. Hits for 1400s, AE Rampages, slowable, undead, few hp's.

[ ] Loot: Redis' Soulstone.

Part V - The Final Battle: Durunal the Cursebearer
Durunal the Cursebearer, is triggered upon zoning into Wall of Slaughter, with the 4 Soulstones on you. He will spawn to the right of the gateway to MPG, in the ruins. He's leashed. You should have an ample sized raid force already in WoS, before you enter. YOU ARE THE TRIGGER. He is reported to despawn fairly quickly, if not engaged. 2 hour reset.

Hits for 1600, rampages, has an AE gflux, so keep levitation spells up. He also has PoTime's Quarm's AE, Epoch Conviction. Keep MR buffs up. Shaman slowable. During the fight, he spawns adds, reportedly timed, NOT based on hp's.

The three types of adds are Vicious Lightning Elemental, Enraged Lightning Elemental, and Furious Lightning Elemental. Enraged adds can NOT be mezzed or rooted, and will have to be kited or offtanked. Furious adds CAN be mezzed/rooted. Vicious adds can NOT be mezzed, but CAN be rooted.

The raid should focus on The Cursebearer, burn him down, then kill adds afterwards.

[ ] Loot: A Dark and Twisted Sword.

The Final Combine
Return to Irak Altil, in HoH, give him A Dark and Twisted Sword. Receive: A Dark and Twisted Sword, 4 slot container.

Place the four completed Soulstones into the container. Combine.

[ ] Results in: Redemption.

The biggest problems I am having are the two(?) tasks that do not allow mercs. That was so frustrating getting two people to come help me knock them out and a few idle players joining the group to get the instance up and then zoning in and having the cleric go poof... and then not being able to zone back out when being chased by a mob lol (actually that last part was kinda funny)

p.s. where is the setting to set your server below your avatar pic?

[heidy12]

hello,...
I visit your site and like it.
Thanks for sharing such a nice information

[Tersur]

For thouse wondering the entire 1.5 including all raids is very easy solo at 95 with moderate gear. I had no trouble on any of the raid fights. most fights also came in at under 3 minutes. Final boss spawned only one wave of adds before he was killed. All raids my party sat in pok and i ran out to get and do the raids alone. Good luck on your quest.

Does anyone know if the fish can be done without having started the quest? I'm finishing up my 1.0 and I'm working on parts of the 1.5 and I decided that fishing would be my next step. I fished for a while but I didn't get any dark scales. I'm wondering if it's possible to do this part without being at the step on the actual quest. Please let me know. I've looked on zam but I didn't find anything.
