 * overview=

This quest is based on classic the AD&D 2nd edition PnP module of the same name and is narrated by Ed Greenwood. It has three play modes:
 * Standard: The only mode accessible when first entering this dungeon, and the one covered for most of this page.
 * Extended and Commentary: These modes are accessible once you finish the Standard mode at least once on that specific character. They are considered different quests for the effect of XP ransack, but are considered the same quest in terms of favor and chest ransack.
 * Extended Commentary mode: Not recommended by some as the audio clips from the interview will spam and repeat for the duration of the quest making gameplay more challenging.

Extended Content This quest is vast, consisting of many areas which you can access them in almost any order. Think of this as another kind of Dr. Rushmore's Mansion. There are a lot of secret doors to find, and some of them have DC's 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 lacks the strength to open it, you can still access the dungeon by the secret doors on the left and right wall. The hidden door on the wall to the left of the gate sends 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 and place in the sockets two Crests to open the Throne Room gate.
 * One Crest is found in the Doppelganger hallway.
 * Once the objective complete there is also a pair of, which can be picked up by one person and is helpful against the optional boss Miior.
 * You can find the doppelganger by examining the statues. The statue with the doppelganger has a CR rating 3 levels higher then the rest.
 * One Crest is found in the Necromancer corridor.
 * At this location you are presented with three doors, plus there is a hidden door to the right of these (careful not to go too far to the right as the kobolds with the giant crossbow will target you)
 * One of these doors will be a trap with the floor dropping out in front of it; to safely test the doors, jump onto the torch next to the door before opening it.
 * The remaining two doors contain spike traps once you attempt to head towards the lever at the end of each room with a locked gate dropping preventing you from exiting; disable the traps to allow others through or escape.
 * The hidden doorway is the fastest route to the crest room; the crest can be seen on the map once you enter this doorway; clearing out the corridor of zombies using doorblock or rush & killzone techniques works well.
 * Rushing the room with the crest, picking it up once the room is clear of necromancers then DDooring out saves you a lot of time here.
 * The necromancers will keep summoning zombies. Kill all the necromancers to stop the zombies from spawning.
 * Once you have both crests, place them in the sockets of the doorway in the far west corridor, kill the boss and loot the chests.
 * On Standard mode, the quest completes here.
 * On Extended and Commentary mode, you find out the final boss was actually one of the real boss's (Whisper) 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 doorways at the back of the Throne Room lead to 3 purple named bosses. This would be your second (optional) objective, since their chests can drop named items.
 * Fallen Giant: North door
 * One person should activate him by pulling the Spear out while trash mobs keep spawning; be aware this takes quite some time to pull the spear.
 * Drop the Skeleton to 0, use the Spear again (someone with the item in his inventory simply has to double-click the body) while he is down.
 * The trash mobs are hostile towards the skeleton. Leading them into the skeleton's cleave attack may aggro them on the skeleton.
 * A great tactic is for someone with AOE to kite all the trash around keeping it off of the spear puller, once the giant is up, use a DDoor to get your party out of the room, at this point all remaining trash mobs in the room agro the giant, return to the room and send one person in willing to die, this sets all the trash mobs on the giant. Get your party into the room and wait for him to die then put the spear back in.
 * May drop ,
 * Ancient Mummy: South door
 * Simply bash him down. Trash mobs keep spawning.
 * May drop ,
 * Miior: Secret door behind the throne
 * No trash mob, she does massive Electric damage which increases over time (see section on lightning statues below). One person, preferably tank/aggro holder, should have the Boots of Grounding handy. Note: Boots are ML 28 to wear, and prevent the player from jumping while equipped.
 * May drop ,
 * Easiest done with a small group. Someone with 64+ reflex (for EH) as a tank, a healer, and a DPS caster (caster may be exchanged as mana runs dry). Every time Miior takes damage she casts an AoE. Each time someone is hit with the AE effect they have a chance to add a stack of lightning damage (save vs. reflex). When the tank has to many stacks of damage he/she should ask for DPS to stop. When the stacks of lightning damage wear off the tank, dps can resume until the stacks add up again. Caster DPS should be large direct damage spells, damage over time is dangerous for the tank and makes it difficult to control the stacks of damage. Three melee characters attacking Miior at one time will quickly overwhelm the entire group with damage. That is the surest way to death.

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 mummy) 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: North east area puzzle

 * Solving this puzzle opens the barred door if you don't have a search skill to locate the secret door allowing you access to the southern crest.
 * Solving this puzzle quickly will shut all gates in the corridor preventing more mobs from attacking.
 * Sneaking in to solve the puzzle will give you an edge in this room.

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). There is no maximum number of stacks. It will keep piling up as long as you can survive.
 * 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.
 * A summoned Hezrou will attack the statues, and is immune to electricity.
