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

Overview:

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 1.
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:

• 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 in the ritual without getting the boss points and talking to Alacrius again.
• 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 Basement level 2, and Raza's clues are the closed sarcophagi (coffins) on Basement level 1.
• You will need to lure monsters away while trying to read the clues. 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.

Spoiler: Clues

The solution (directionals) are different for every account, but remain the same for all characters on an account. The directionals are as follows: northwest (NW) northeast (NE) southwest (SW) southeast (SE) south (S) Below are examples of how to locate the clues with the specific directionals needed to light the candlesticks in the Terogan Chamber. To get the clues, click on the spots shown by the arrows and check marks. 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. Left Side Example: Clue 1 = northeast (NE) Location: Basement level 2. Example: Clue 2 = southeast (SE) Location: Basement level 2. Example: Clue 3 = south (S) Location: Basement level 1, on the left side of the room above the stairs to the lower level. Example: Clue 4 = southwest (SW) Location: Basement level 1, on the left side of the room above the stairs to the lower level. Example: Clue 5 = southeast (SE) Location: Basement level 1, on the left side of the antechamber to the previous room. Example: Clue 6 = northeast (NE) Location: Basement level 1, on the left side of the antechamber to the previous room. Right Side Example: Clue 1 = south (S) Location: Basement level 2. Example: Clue 2 = southeast (SE) Location: Basement level 2. Example: Clue 3 = northwest (NW) Location: Basement level 1, on the right of the room above the stairs to the lower level. Example: Clue 4 = southwest (SW) Location: Basement level 1, on the right side of the room above the stairs to the lower level. Example: Clue 5 = southeast (SE) Location: Basement level 1, on the right side of the antechamber to the previous room. Example: Clue 6 = northeast (NE) Location: Basement level 1, on the right side of the antechamber to the previous room.

Instructions to get to Keshlam Swamp:

• After solving Alacrius' Riddle, go to Terogan's Chamber at Basement level 3. Here you will use the knowledge obtained from the clues to finish the ritual.
• The spell used to light the candles is #reapercry.
• You will need to start the battle with Terogan for the reapercry spell to work. For more info about starting the battle, see Terogan Battle.
• Use the "#reapercry" spell as you stand next to the candles in the room. The six directionals you uncovered will determine where you stand and the order in which you stand.
• There will be a red particle flash if you light the correct candle, and a black particle flash if you light the wrong one. If it flashes black, you will need to try again.
• The order in which you must light the candles is unique for each account and is different depending on whether you choose the left or right side of the Terrogan battle.
• The six directionals on the left side will be different from the right side. It is advised that you get the directionals for both sides.
