Known Traps
Tips and Misc
- Tip- Strongly recommended to have a fire resist item equipped (30 points ideal), spells and other non-permanent enchantments may not suffice and will not suffice on harder difficulties.
- Tip- In order to make the Marilith vulnerable to attack, the party will need to kill all three ritualists in a given time frame. Failure to kill all three in a very, very short amount of time (~30 seconds) will result in a new ritualist spawning until all 3 are dead. Once all 3 ritualists are dead no others will spawn and the Demon Queen will be vulnerable to attack. Like the Demon Queen Lailat, this Marilith will overrun you if you get too close, so keep this in mind when attacking her.
Strategy- To complete this quest there are several steps to make things easier for this quest can go bad very quickly…
1) Have someone kite the Marilith
a. Helpful to have fatigue to slow the Marilith for she is rather fast
b. Run around the map until the Marilith is vulnerable
2) Clear the 3 tunnels one at a time starting with the top most and working your way around in a clockwise fashion
a. The monsters in these tunnels do NOT respawn, once killed they will remain dead
b. Be sure NOT TO FIGHT OR KILL THE RITUALIST, once the tunnel is clear to the ritualist run back and clear the other
tunnels
3) Bring the 3 ritualist to center of map
a. Prep each ritualist like you would the monsters in the 2nd part of The Shroud
b. Kill all 3 ritualists as quickly as possible (Failure will result in a new ritualist spawning with full heath, each will continue to respawn till all 3 are killed)
4) Kill the Marilith
a. Once all 3 ritualists are killed, the Marilith is vulnerable to attack
b. Attack the Marilith until dead
Once the Marilith is killed the Quest will be completed…. On harder difficulties this quest is very challenging. Elite difficulty is what can be described as Hell, this difficulty separates the boys from the men. The effort is worth its weight in gold for on Elite there are 5 chests at the end.
Map notes:
- The location of the second shrine differs from one difficulty to another, all three possible locations are marked.
Loot
- Chests: 1 end chest (2 end chests on Casual) or 5 chests on Elite
Monsters
- Hezrou Savages
- Fire/Ice Reavers
- Fiendish Lions
