Overview

You hear a voice calling for help from deep within the encampment that was heavily guarded by zakya cultists. It is safe to assume you will encounter quite a bit of resistance from these cultists as you attempt to find the source of this distress call and free them at once!

• Reaching Zakya Cultist Encampment entrance automatically bestows quest.

Walkthrough (thanks largely to Lost Leader)

First things first: turn on your DM voice. You really, really need to. Now, follow the feminine voice through trap-filled halls, fighting Jarilith, Zakya and Rakshasa to free the poor damsel.

When fighting Jariliths, remember they are a type of demon, and so have a DR of #/Cold Iron+Holy. Rakshasas have a damage reduction of #/Pierce+Good.

Work your way down the one-way halls until you reach the shrines. You will need to clear the two side halls, and pull the trapped* lever at each end before you can continue forward. Be wary of enemies that open the doors to join the fights.

(* Blade trap up from the floor in front of them, just stand back a bit when you pull them.)

Once the two levers are pulled, you can move into the two bridge rooms that run parallel out of the shrine area. Clear both sides and pull both levers in the areas beyond.

• Optional: Before heading further in, there is an optional under the water.

• Swim underneath and find the secret door. It is underwater on the floor, just to the south of the middle of the room. There is a lever inside the secret room which will open the portcullis underwater to the west. Swim down this way to a hidden chamber.
• When you pop out of the water, the doors will open and bad guys will come pouring out. Between the Jarilith, Rakshasa, Zakya and Tholatha (the named Rakshasa), enemy casters use Acid Fog, Lightning Bolt and Magic Missile, so be prepared.

• Tactics: If an Arcane, you can drop a Cloudkill and hide in the water, or Charm them and have them fight each other, or both; If a Divine throw some BBs at them and wait it out; If a melee just run up there and take care of business the old fashioned way. It is a tough fight, but there is a locked chest at the end of it, which may contain a dragon relic.

• A "Control Box" in the cener of the room will activate a teleportation circle that will transport anyone stepping into it back to the shrines; otherwise just swim back.

Now head further in, clearing the halls until you reach the jail cells. Kill the jailor and get the key when you loot the far chest. Defeat the final red-named Rakshasa, Lothar the Insidious, and loot the end chest in the back room.

There will be 1-2 Ancient Dragon Relics in the end chest.

End Reward: Speak with Pheryl Barlo in Gianthold for standard reward choice.

Originally Posted by (former developer) SqueakofDoom Unfortunately, the Quiver of Poison still has these two issues: Once you remove it from a Shared Account Bank, it immediately Binds to Character Once you log out and log back in, it is Bound to that Character We are working towards a fix, but this is actually a very tricky issue since this is the first quiver (aka: bag-like item) with BtCoE status. At the moment, I recommend placing it in your shared bank before logging out and then only removing it with the toon you want the Quiver bound to.

This binds-straight-to-character bug also occurs when you have bought a Quiver of Poison from the Auction House, and collect it from the mail box. Therefore, if buying a quiver from the Auction House, do so on the character on which you want the quiver.

Confirmed this bug still active after Update 20 hotfix 1.

Per Update 21 Release Notes: The Quiver of Poison is now Bind on Acquire, instead of claiming it was Bind on Equip, as this type of item is unable to function properly as Bind on Equip.
