What Goes Up

''It turns out the Netherese are holding Oriphaun captive deep within the glacier. But that's not all - they have also excavated an artifact called a Mythallar, there. Its purpose remains a mystery.

He is being held inside the Mountain Glacier, at the high peaks of the Storm Horns.

Sherrod also told you that the magical artifact known as the mythallar is growing in power to dangerous proportions, and that you should deal with it at the same time that you rescue Oriphaun.

 * You have to complete all 4 of the Secret of the Storm Horns pre-quests, including turning them in for reward (back at the bridge in Eveningstar), and then speak to Sherrod Starym (nearer the gate to the Storm Horns) to be able to open this quest instance.


 * Evil Spell Ward in a room with crates.
 * Telekinetic Spell Ward in another room with crates.
 * Another Spell Ward in the treasure room
 * Pressure plate infront of the correct chest in the treasure room
 * (Spell Wards only appear if you fail the skill check to open the rooms safely.)

| misc= This quest has multiple maps.
 * The fastest way to this quest from the entry to the Storm Horms is to ask to be teleported to the North Camp, and then head roughly due west to the Mountain Glacier quest entrance. If you have not found the North Camp, then use the Northwest Camp. If not that, then you have a long hike ahead of you, starting northwest and looping around (see map).
 * Pro Tip: If some party members have not discovered a Camp, have them type "/death", which will cause them to die. Then pick up their soul stone(s), travel to the closest Camp (where there is a shrine), and they can resurrect and heal there and continue without slowing down the rest of the party.

First map: Second map: Third map:
 * The only required kills in this part are the first few guards, killing them opens the gate.
 * A player with very high stealth skills can make their way through most of the first map undetected.
 * Optionally, look for the first jeweled key at one of the following locations:
 * Under the first stairs
 * In a dead end with wolves
 * Up, behind crates, near the first giant
 * At the top of the second ramp where the frost giants are first encountered, on an ice ledge running around to a door opened with a lever.
 * Unlocking the barriers requires a UMD/Concentration skill check or donation of Astral Shards. (Input data on this page) If you fail the check, barriers open but spell wards can appear in the rooms.
 * Behind the barriers, find (randomly located):
 * Wolf signet to open the way forward.
 * Oriphaun, who carries the other signet.
 * Note - Following Oriphaun to the fight (see below) ends this section, so finish any optionals before that fight. Either do not speak to Oriphaun until you are ready, or, at the barriers, he says "After you..." - he'll wait for you to finish.
 * Optional: After unlocking "all" the barriers, a red barrier remains in the southeast corner. Find the silver key that fits into a concealed golden elaborate control orb (inner, northeast alcove) to open the way to this optional fight with Vocis the Shade. Defeating Vocis allows you to pick up the second jeweled key after the fight.
 * Slot the signet to proceed to a big orb; the mythallar. Kill mages, then Zeligat. Trash respawns until Zeligat dies.
 * When you defeat Zeligat and his lackeys, you're transported to the Mythallar Chamber with no way back (short of Dimension Door); therefore, you may as well use the shrine (at the end of the first section) before that fight. You can return to this shrine; there are also a couple of resurrection-only shrines en route (always appear) and a final shrine at the ramp before the top of the glacier (will be inaccessible once the end fight begins).
 * Treasure barricade contains slow Spell Ward (only if you fail on the UMD roll to open it) and four chests which all require the jeweled keys to open. Two are empty, two are nice and full - but you only have 2 keys (at most). Use your Spot skill and walk near each one to see which chest "shows signs of being used recently" (the recently used chest is likely to be full).
 * If your Spot is high enough, you will get a message onscreen and in general chat window. Spot 51 on EN was enough for 1 chest hint. Spot 50 was enough on EH for 1 hint.
 * Be patient - the message can sometimes be delayed.
 * With 50 Spot, some of the trapped chest triggers became visible (well before the Spot message).
 * End fight:
 * If you fall off the plateau to a spot without land below, you will die and your soul stone will be deposited by the outdoor shrine.
 * Both shrines right before the boss (near the base of the ramp up to the plateau) will become inaccessible when the final boss fight starts.
 * The boss teleports frequently to several spots. If you get too close, he tends to teleport away.
 * Waves of trash mobs must be cleared in order to progress the fight. A common order to battle is:
 * Kill 4 pillars.
 * Kill trash until elementals spawn; then kill elementals.
 * Kill trash until Shadovar spawn; then kill 4 Shadovar.
 * Kill trash until Amskar comes down, then kill Amskar.
 * Spawning armies typically run towards Amskar. When he teleports, the army moves with him.
 * There are raised rock clusters near each pillar. A ranged character can shoot at the nearby pillar behind these, out of the line of sight of patrolling trash.

 * For the "Jump off the flying glacier!" optional, jump from the upper glacier (where Amskar and all his spawning mobs are) to the lower glacier (the section between exiting from the Mythallar chamber until the final gate). Do not jump off the glacier entirely; this will merely kill you without completing the optional. Delay your jump for as long as possible also, to ensure the optional.
 * The safest spot to jump seems to be the east side of the top glacier, over the wooden battlements. Wait for a few seconds after the optional appears. You want to land at the very first draw bridge, the one that is opened by killing all the orcs near the bones collectable with the words, and which displays the message about "Angry giant bellows" when opened. If done correctly, you should get the optional xp when landing at the entrance to the drawbridge.
 * If you jump wrong (i.e., off the glacier entirely), your soulstone will appear with everyone else's at the end, near a shrine.
 * To get the end chests, characters must proceed to the glacier area, even if only after the fight is over.
 * 2 in treasure room (other 2 are empty... and you can only open 2 total)
 * 1 large chest that can contain the rare named items (to the right as you look at the valley)
 * +1 on Casual/Normal (to left of shrine)
 * +2 on Hard (to left of shrine)
 * +3 on Elite (to left of shrine)
 * Bones where you can see that the "massive shape of the Mythallar has been almost fully excavated."
 * Bones behind the closed gate after climbing the ramp
 * Adventurer's Pack in Vocis' chamber
 * Adventurer's Pack in the Mythallar chamber (be sure to get it before killing Zeligat)
 * Adventurer's Pack around the corner from the first bridge on top of the glacier, to the west
 * Bones before the first closed gate on the glacier, to the east
