Tips and Misc

• This adventure is easier than most of this level.
• This quest is a rework of the Quest for the Ancient Daggers quest from the original harbor area.
• As of Update 11, the quest has received a complete revamp, with the instance being redesigned and retextured. Unlike the previous versions of the quest, which mainly had you fighting spiders as well as undead and Sahuagin Adepts, you will be opposing the cultists of the Devourer for the first time as they attempt to turn the bodies of the Heyton family into an undead army against Korthos.
• Remember to use blunt weapons for skeletons and slashing weapons for zombies. Low quality Slashing/Bludgeoning weapons are provided for you in two chests before the first and second altars.
• To complete the optional quests, kill the Sahuagin Necromancers or destroy the altars quickly to prevent the Heytons from being turned into undead. In the case of the final altar, you may be better off destroying it than trying to fight the necromancer on the other side.
• The sarcophagi regenerate their lids, allowing them to be repeatedly destroyed for Vandal and Ransack bonuses.
• The lever at the end of the passage behind the trapped chest is used to open up the wall connecting it to the rest of the crypt.
• Destroying the altars counts towards the kills bonus, not the breakables bonus.
• The altars detect as evil, meaning that any abilities that do extra damage to evil creatures (such as a holy weapon or the paladin's Smite Evil ability) will allow you to destroy them more quickly.

  • Ransack is no longer possible.
  • In order to get conquest you will have to fail at least one of the optionals, to get an extra kill, which overall is a loss of XP.
