Quest Giver: Mardoth, the Ancient Necromancer (found in Umbra)
Quest Description:
Mardoth, once the feared and powerful Necromancer Guild Master, has returned to the physical realm, but not by choice. His spirit, long tormented by the corruption he embraced during his time of power, now seeks release. For centuries, his restless soul has wandered, unable to find peace, and now he calls upon you to help him cleanse his spirit.
To restore balance and allow Mardoth to finally rest, you must enter his ancient tomb—a dungeon divided into three perilous sections, each filled with the echoes of his dark past.
Section 1: Skeleton Crypt
The first part of the dungeon is guarded by legions of
Hardened Skeletal Knights, the remnants of Mardoth's early experiments with necromancy. Clear the crypt by defeating at least 15 of these skeletal warriors to unlock the teleporter to the next section.
- Hardened Skeletal Knights have their own rare unique drop. (drops on the corpse)
Section 2: The Lich Lair
Proceed into the second part of the tomb, where
Hardened Liches roam. These cursed beings were once Mardoth’s most trusted followers, now twisted into eternal servitude. Slay at least 15 Liches to unlock the teleporter to the final section.
- Hardened Liches have their own rare unique drop. (drops on the corpse)
Section 3: The Spirit Vault
In the final section, you will face Mardoth’s greatest creations:
six unique Shades, each representing the darkest aspects of his soul. The shades are embodiments of fear, greed, pride, wrath, deceit, and envy. If you manage to vanquish them, there is a chance to summon the
Spirit of Mardoth, the boss who awaits your challenge. You may also continue to gather kills, as every 15 kills will allow you to re-use at least one teleporter and navigate the dungeon more freely.
- Each Shade has its own unique rare drop. (will drop right in your backpack)
- Each Shade has a chance to drop a statue of itself. All 6 statues are needed to summon the boss. (will drop right in your backpack)
Mardoth's time is limited, and only through your valor can his spirit be cleansed of the darkness he once wielded. Will you help this once-feared necromancer find peace, or will the tomb claim another lost soul?
- The Spirit of Mardoth has two unique drops that will drop right in your backpack.
Quest Rules:
- Each section requires 15 kills to unlock teleporters.
- In the final section, you can use 15 additional kills to reactivate a teleporter.
- Defeating the six unique shades may drop the 6 keys needed to summon the boss, the Spirit of Mardoth.
- When ready to summon him double click the urn near his tomb. This will give you your own urn to deposit your keys but be warned, each urn only lasts 1 hour once created so only place your keys inside once you have them all.
Objective:
- Slay 15 Hardened Skeletons to unlock the first teleporter.
- Slay 15 Hardened Liches to unlock the second teleporter.
- In the final section, defeat Mardoth and end his torment.
Good luck, adventurer. The fate of Mardoth's soul lies in your hands!
