Quest Overview
Starting Location	027-2 The Crypt
Level	90+ recommended
Prerequisites	300 Boss Points
Redoable	No, only once

What To Do:

1. To get there, head to the Graveyard.
2. Enter the Crypt and go to the room on the right to talk to Alacrius.
3. Read the two books on the top floor and the book on basement level one.
4. Examine the correct sarcophagi (coffins) on your way to basement level 2.
5. Examine the correct statues on basement level 2.
6. Examine all five gates on basement level 3.
7. Solve the riddle.

Hints:

• Go with a group of players or a high level friend into the crypt to increase your chance of surviving the monsters who guard the clues.
• The 300 Boss Points are only needed once for each account! If it was done with one character all characters on the same account can use it without getting the boss points and talking to Alacrius again.

More Hints: Light generally enters a building through windows; why you would need windows in an underground crypt is beyond me though. General Terogan's boss fight requires you to pick a side, left or right. The solution is the same for every character on an account.

Reward:

• Knowledge of how to enter Keshlam Swamp

Total Cost:

• None

Solution:

Spoiler

Alacrius Riddle's solution: In order to get to Keshlam Swamp, you need to begin the General Terogan battle, then use #reapercry 6 times on the 5 tall candles in the room. There will be a red particle flash if you lit the correct candle, and a black particle flash if you lit the wrong one. The order in which you must light the candles is unique for each account and is different depending whether you choose the left or right side of the Terrogan battle. The gates on basement level 3 (words of god) will tell you the order in which to read the clues. Kruha's clues are the statues across from the unbroken windows on B2 and Raza's clues are the closed sarcophagi(coffins) on B1. Be careful not to confuse the clues for the left solution with the clues for the right solution. Here are examples of how to locate the directionals [northwest (NW), northeast (NE), southwest (SW), southeast (SE), south (S)] needed to light the candlesticks in the Terogan Chamber in order to get to the Ruined Swamp. The directionals are different for every account, but remain the same for all the characters in an account. Both left and right side examples are included, but you only need to figure out the six directionals of one side for it to work.
