This quest is vast, consists of many areas and you can access them in pretty much any order. Think like this is another kind of Dr. Rushmore's Mansion. There is a lot of secret doors to find, and some of them have DCs low enough to be discovered with True Seeing, but not all, or the most important ones.

The first gate requires a Strength value of {{xpcolors|normal=20-21|hard=29-30|elite=?}} to open. If your character lack the stats to open it, you can still access the dungeon by the secret doors on the left and right wall. The one by the left only send you behind the gate, and can be found with True Seeing.

Part 1: Throne Room
Your first main objective would be to access the Throne Room and kill a boss there. To do that, you need to locate two Crests to open the Throne Room gate.
 * One Crest found in Doppelganger hallway
 * Also drops, which can be picked up by one person and help against the optional boss Miior.
 * You can find the doppelganger by examining the statues. The statue with the doppelganger has a higher CR than the rest.
 * One Crest found in Necromancer corridor
 * The necromancers keep summoning zombies. Kill all necromancers to stop the zombies from spawning.

On standard mode, the quest completes here. On Extended and Commentary mode, you find out the final boss was actually one of his apprentices, and you must find him deeper in the halls to listen to his quest for you to retrieve a dragon egg for him.

Part 2: Optional Bosses
The Throne Room sideways lead to 3 purple named bosses. This would be your second (optional) objective, since their chests can drop named items.
 * Giant Skeleton
 * One person activate him by pulling the Spear out while trash mobs keep spawning, drop the Skeleton to 0, use the Spear again while he is down.
 * The thrash mobs are hostile towards the skeleton. Leading them into the skeleton's cleave attack may aggro them on the skeleton.
 * May drop ,
 * Mummy
 * Simply bash him down. Trash mobs keep spawning.
 * May drop ,
 * Miior
 * No trash mob, she does massive Electric damage which increases over time (see section on lightning statues below). One person, preferably tank/aggro holder, have Boots handy. Note: Boots are ML 28 to wear, and prevent player from jumping while equipped.
 * May drop ,

Part 3: Final Boss (extended and commentary mode only)
Your third and final objective would be to agree with Whisper's demands (locate the dragon egg and steal it - or fight the mommy) or disagree with them (so that you have to slay him to complete the quest). You can't fight the dragon on Standard mode.
 * Fighting Whisper
 * Whisper is a powerful spellcaster. Evasion, freedom of movement and true seeing helps.
 * Each time Whisper takes a certain amount of damage, he will teleport to a random position in the room.
 * When he is down to low health, he summons 4 copies of himself, which act exactly like the original Whisper. When a copy dies, helmed horrors spawn.
 * Defeating the last copy immediately completes the quest
 * Awards one chest with a large number of black stones
 * Fighting the dragon
 * Killing the dragon awards multiple chests with a chance for named items
 * Returning the dragon egg to Whisper awards one chest with a large number of black stones

Misc: Lightning statues
This quest features several statues that release lighning energy when struck.
 * Every time the statue is touched (melee or ranged, including glancing blows), all nearby characters are hit with lightning damage and receive a stacking debuff that deals increasing amounts of lighning damage every 2 seconds for 10 sec (similar to Eladar's Electric Surge). The maximal number of stacks of this debuff is at least 15.
 * A reflex saving throw reduces the initial lightning damage, but does not prevent the debuff unless the character has evasion.
 * Due to the high number of attacks per second in a full party, players without evasion will die very quickly when standing near a statue that is being attacked.
 * Even players with evasion will sometimes receive the debuff because they fail the saving throw due to rolling a 1. In a full party, this usually happens before the debuff runs out. Consider stepping away from the statue to let the debuff run out if it stacks too high.
