What to Expect

Spawning/respawning monsters

Requires extra player(s)/hireling(s) (mandatory: someone to defend the gate, someone to light the pyres, someone to protect the player that lights the pyres)

Tips and Misc

It takes 30 seconds to light a funeral pyre, making the player susceptible to being interrupted while lighting it.
- As the Pyre is being lit, wraiths and skeletons will spawn.
- Each pyre stands in a square of rocks. Touching the rock square once activates the spawns. If you kill all the mobs next to a pyre without touching the rocks, and then light the pyre still without touching rocks, no more mobs will respawn at that pyre ensuring you won't be interrupted.
There are three roles that need to be filled here: gate defender, pyre activator, and defender of the pyre activator.
- The Pyre Lighter can light the pyre in Sneak mode, without breaking stealth. Invisibility would also work.
It is possible to solo this quest with a hireling. This requires some speed and micromanagement on your part. Use a Wizard or Sorcerer hireling (preferably one with Wall of Fire) to guard the gate. Keep them in Aggressive Stance and Hold Ground. The Gate Swarmers go directly for the gate and completely ignore attackers, so the hireling can nuke as much as they want. Go to each pyre, kill all the spawns, and light them in stealth mode. You'll want to run back after each pyre though to give your hireling a hand. Once Deathshade appears, you can just kill him and the quest will be over!
- Note Invisibility won't always work on Hard and above – Monster Champions can often spot you through the spell thanks to the inherent True Seeing many of them get. Stealth will still work as long as your relevant skills are good enough.
The square of rocks with the end chests counts like a Pyre square. Stepping on it the first time will spawn some undead.
Gate Swarmers will continue to spawn even after the quest is completed.
The entrance gate is locked upon entry. You must recall to exit the quest.
The rares in this quest behave oddly. At the beginning, one of Alexi Drange or Lonni Renaldo is guaranteed to spawn, although you may need to light up to two pyres for them to appear. After they are slain, there is a chance for Guard Jobari to appear. If he does so, Tanner or Qhumok may spawn after completion (you may also have to use the rest shrine.)
