Summary[]
This is the seventh quest line for Gates of Discord progression. The purpose of this guide is to walkthrough the quest in detail. If you want a no frills guide then see this post on the forums.
Guide[]
To start the quest go to Kod'taz and hail Tublik Narwethar (#zone kodtaz 1292 -2013 -348).
Talk to Tublik[]
You say, 'Hail, Tublik Narwethar'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'Wish to request another raid? Tell me [mystery]. If you want to see what you've completed at any time, just ask me for a [progress update]!'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'Welcome back, <player>. Have you found any clues from the [Crumbled Sanctuary] yet? Please find anything you can and return to me as soon as possible!'
You say, 'Crumbled Sanctuary'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'Oh yeah, I know all about that thing. It was a temple that was decimated by the Muramites during their initial invasion. We're unsure what caused them to destroy that temple, but not the other three. I need you to go to the temple and [look for clues] as to what the reason may have been for destroying the temple.'
You say, 'look for clues'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'I have no idea what the clues may look like, but I'm hoping they'll bring about some insight as to the reason behind the Muramites destroying the temple. Once you've recovered all the clues you can find, please come back to me so I can go over them. If we're lucky, I'll be able to decipher what the real cause was and we can relay that important news to the brotherhood. Off you go, <player>, and good luck!'
Collect Frayed Flesh Scrap[]
Go to the Crumbled Sanctuary (#zone kodtaz 697 -1 -376).
Look for the following items from ground spawns in the temple. Note: There are several group spawns (~7). You will need some way of seeing the lore of an item (bot, spell)
- Frayed Flesh Scrap (Item Lore: The top left of a larger piece of flesh.)
- Frayed Flesh Scrap (Item Lore: The top right of a larger piece of flesh.)
- Frayed Flesh Scrap (Item Lore: The bottom left of a larger piece of flesh.)
- Frayed Flesh Scrap (Item Lore: The bottom right of a larger piece of flesh.)
Go back to Tublik Narwethar (#zone kodtaz 1292 -2013 -348) and give him all four scraps. He will return them.
Tublik Narwethar grunts unhappily at the four pieces. 'I had hoped more work wouldn't be needed to uncover the clues, but it looks like there's a bit more you're going to need to do for me. Take a look at these edges. Do you see how they look really sinewy? That's because they're [made of flesh], probably that of the trusik. No doubt the Muramites have been quite cruel to them now that they are mostly used for slavery.'
You say, 'made of flesh'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'The first thing you'll need is a needle. We can't take any chances with the use of Muramite-altered flesh so you'll need to make your own. To do so, you'll need to find four bone chips and combine them with some of the weird black residue that the Muramites leave behind when they die. You should be able to fashion them together with a sewing kit. The next thing you'll need to do is get some [strands of hair] to keep the flesh together.'
You say, 'strands of hair'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'You'll need to gather four strands of hair from the local hynids. They're not friendly, so be careful when you encounter one. Once you've gotten the strands and made your needle, you're going to need to sew the strands together using the needle. It seems strange I know, but remember that the best solutions are usually the simplest ones. Take the hynid thread and the needle and your four peices of flesh and sew them together. That should get you what you need. Once you've sewn the clue back together, give it to me and I may finally be able to understand it.'
Collect Hynid Hair Strands[]
Go the the location below (#zone kodtaz 821 -124 -428).
Loot the following items from mobs:
- 4 Hynid Hair Strand - drops from a hynid
- 1 Muramite Residue - drops from humanoid mobs, you may already have one if you followed the earlier guides
Craft Sewn Flesh Parchment[]
Head to Guild Lobby and purchase four bone chips from Merchant Draco (#zone guildlobby -76 402 1).
If your Tailoring skill is not already maxed out then go to Tradeskill Master (#zone guildlobby -228 548 1) and train your Tailoring for 5,000pp.
Go to a loom (#zone guildlobby -258 565 1) and make the following recipes (in order):
- Muramite Needle (trivial @202)
- Hynid-Hair Thread (trivial @268)
- Sewn Flesh Parchment (trivial @0)
Give Tublik the Parchment[]
Head back to Tublik Narwethar (#zone kodtaz 1292 -2013 -348) and give him the Sewn Flesh Parchment.
Tublik Narwethar says, 'Nicely sewn, <player>. I would have tried doing it myself, but I have the most unsteady fingers when it comes to things like that. In any case, let me have a look at what this says.' Tublik looks over the clue for a time before continuing. 'Unbelievable. Simply astounding. These notes weren't made by the Muramites at all. In fact, they were created by trusik priests from their own flesh in some kind of [ritual].'
You say, 'ritual'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'I've been assuming that only the Muramites were so cruel that they would rip flesh from another living being in this manner, but it appears that the trusik priests were the ones that did it. They etched glyphs into the skin and then removed it to be used later. The glyphs represent the four temples and their direct connection to the Altar of Destruction. It looks as though there may be [more clues] about the Altar of Destruction and its surrounding temples in the trial temples.'
You say, 'more clues'
Tublik Narwethar says, 'I need you to return to the three temples where you participated in the three trials. Based on this clue, I believe you will find three additional clues about the Altar of Destruction in the Temple of Singular Might, the Temple of Twin Struggles, and the Temple of the Tri-Fates. I doubt they'll be hard to find, but you must go to each and search for the clues! Return to me when you have found them!'
Collect Glyphed Flesh[]
Now you must collect three Glyphed Flesh from different areas. Be prepared to fight.
- Temple of Singular Might (#zone kodtaz -264 -1040 -322) and grab a 'Glyphed Flesh' (Item Lore: Found in the Temple of Singular Might) from the ground.
- Temple of Twin Struggles (#zone kodtaz -900 -1668 -406) and grab a 'Glyphed Flesh' (Item Lore: Found in the Temple of Twin Struggles) from the ground.
- Temple of the Tri-Fates (#zone kodtaz -894 -1296 -430) and grab a 'Glyphed Flesh' (Item Lore: Found in the Temple of the Tri-Fates) from the ground.
Finish[]
Head back to Tublik Narwethar (#zone kodtaz 1292 -2013 -348) and give him the three Glyphed Flesh (in a single trade).
Tublik Narwethar stares at the three clues for a moment before speaking. 'I can't be sure, but I believe we are getting close to something big, <player>. I need more time to examine these clues, but I should have something for you when you return. You've done well and I know that we wouldn't have been able to get this far without your help. Good job!'
