NOTE: A patch on March 25, 2015, added a work-around to obtain items from Cazic Thule, Dread, Fright, and Terror:

In the Plane of Fear, a harbinger of Fear can help adventurers get their epic 1.0 pieces that would normally drop from Cazic-Thule or the golems. These pieces cannot be multi-quested or traded. In addition, a harbinger of Fear can advance the Whistling Fists quest in the same way as Cazic-Thule.



You must first do the monk shackle quests. Once you finish with the steel shackle you need to do 3 tests.

1. Newbie note hand in ( Else wise known as Shackle of Dust quest)
2. Shackle of Clay
3. Shackle of Stone
4. Shackle of Rock
5. Shackle of Copper
6. Shackle of Bronze
7. Shackle of Steel
8. Shackle of Tynnonium

The first is in town with Grandmaster Glox. Say "I am Ready for the Trial of Agility". You then will have to fight him (he is light blue to a 59). He drops the Mark of Agility.

Next there is an Iksar Monk in Timorous Deep named Grandmaster Rinmark. You tell him "I am ready for the Trial of Patience" and he will say that you will know when it's the time to attack. Wait for a few minutes and he will change from GrandMaster to Master. Wait again and he will change from Master to just plain Rinmark. Kill him at that point. He is a little thougher than Glox. He drops a Mark of Patience.

The last test is in Kaesora. You must have the shackle of Steel for this. Take this Shackle to the library and look for a mob on the second floor called Tome Keeper. Hand him the shackle and he gives you a book (called what?). There are different books, so this step varies depending upon which book you get. The book tells you what item you need, where to get it and who to hand it to. Get that item and hand it into the person it tells you to in the book and you will receive the Mark of Mind.

Once you have all 3 marks head to the Dreadlands and look for a monk named Veltar. He is near the FV zoneline on top of the ruins in the desert area. Hand him the 3 marks to get your shackle of Tynnonium. Once you have that shackle head over to Cabilis. Right next to the arena is an underground entrance and look for a monk named Marthor hidden in there at -352.00, -119, -52.

You say, 'Hail, Marthor'

Marthor hiccups and breathes drunken breath in your face saying, 'Leave me be, can't you see that I am meditating or something?'

You say, 'I have the shackle of Tynnonium.'

Marthor says 'Supreme Master Tynn was the only one that has even seen the weapon. I do not know its origin. I tell you though, you would need to be as powerful as he was to be able to wield the weapon. Only an Iksar of the last rung would be able to use it, come back and show me you have earned your Tynnonium Shackle and I will discuss with you what I know.'

Hand him the shackle.

Marthor says 'You earned the Tynnonium Shackle? I am sure you wish to seek the fists of lore. Gandan has come as close as anyone, you would have to talk to him. Last I heard his expedition has taken him to the Howling Stones.'

You get the shackle back.

Head to Howling Stones (Charasis). Fall to the bottom near the entrance (+1 Safe Fall). Find Gandan Tailfist feigning death at 278, -15, -175.


You say, 'Hail, Gandan Tailfist'

Gandan Tailfist places a foul smelling book in your hands and speaks to you slowly. 'Take this rotting book given to me by lord Cazic-Thule himself, I was given another but it has been lost. The search for the fists will be the end of me. If you are a monk of the final rung show me your Shackle of Tynnonium and I will share with you what I have found.'

You receive a Flayed Skin Tome..

Give him your shackle, which you receive back.

Gandan Tailfist says ' The search for the fists has killed many so I hope that your strength is more than mine and those in the past. I was given this satchel by the lord Cazic-Thule. I have searched for the fists in this place but they are not here. I suggest you seek audience with our lord. Tell him that I have failed in my task. I am sure that he ugnnnnnhnnn.' One last look to you is given before falling completely lifeless to the cold stone.

You receive a Satchel of Flayed Skin.

Now head to PoF and go up to Cazic (or the Shade of Cazic Thule) and tell him that Gandan has failed in his task. You will receive a book (called what?)
that tells you what you have to place in the bag.

You then need to head to Feerott and talk to a new gnome necro named Annaelia Wylassi:

You say, 'Hail, Annaelia Wylassi'

Annaelia Wylassi says 'If you have nothing other than a hail to offer me you best move along, I need concentration to study these odd bones that I unearthed. Funny thing about them though, they seem to resonate a hum. Quite unusual, you probably aren't interested in that though.'

You say, 'I am interested in that.'

Annaelia Wylassi says 'Are you? I didn't take you for a necromancer. I tried to reanimate these remains but due to the vibration it was too unstable and collapsed. I have given up trying to animate them. I would need more supplies if I were to try again. I am too busy with other research to care though. If you are so interested you could go fetch the supplies for me. I suspect the bone structure is of a human, so I would need a vial of human blood. A jade inlaid coffin would be needed to perform the ritual in. Also a vial of clear mana to bind the bones with strong magic, and an essence emerald to complete the ritual.'

Give her the four items and she gives you Resonant Bone Chips, which identify as "Remains of Zan-Fi."

There is a small quest from the Cabilis monk guild that requires 2 torn halves for a note that you hand in to the master behind Glox and he gives you a Thin flute. Take this flute and hand it in to Brother Balathin in the Dreadlands and he spaws up as a pissed off version of himself -- lvl 61 and hits for a max of 240 and can be slowed. Once killed he drops another flute. That is your second piece.

Now head to Sebilis in the crypt area and look for a skeleton named a fallen monk.


You say, 'Hail, a fallen monk'

A fallen monk says, 'Failed to find the rest I have. If you wish what is mine then give proof of the shackle unto me."

Hand him in your Shackle of Tynnonium.

fallen monk says, "Earn what is mine. Show me when you have the power worthy to wield what i posses.'

It will keep it and respawn as a fallen iksar master. Kill it and and loot Faintly Glowing Fist. That is the 3rd item.

The last piece is hard to get since you have to do the stupendous tome quest (see the write-up for the Crusader's Test of the Lord quest). Once you have that done, head to Trakanon's Teeth with the book and a Crusaders Coffin(Sold in Cabilis). Hand them in to Crusader Vragor (spawns at around n2800 p2785).


You say, 'Hail, Crusader Vragor'

Crusader Vragor says 'Perhaps you would care to hear a tale, and perhaps you could help me with the ending. it is the tale of the end of Grandmaster Tynn. We all know that Tynn came into Sebilis with no rebirth. I suppose you know he created the caste of Iksar monks, but I doubt you know where he now rests do you?'

You say, 'No, I do not.'

Crusader Vragor says 'Then I shall tell you. Master Tynn chose a place of rest in his old age. While deep in meditation he slipped away and breathed no more. His corpse remained in teh stance of meditation for many years unyielding to the elements. This brings us to recent times. A Trakanasaur that has been named Zhaoku came along the remains and devoured them. The bones too hard to be chewed, he swallowed them whole. To this day he wanders with them lodged in his stomach. Are you interested in knowing where Zhaoku is?'

You say, 'Yes, tell me!'

Crusader Vragor says 'I will tell you but you must help me first. I have been tied to this plane because of deeds unfinished. I was questing for the stupendous tome for ages to no avail. Without this tome I can not pass on in peace. finish my quest, bring me the stupendous tome and a crusader coffin. I will tell you where the beast rests before I pass on. I doubt you can finish this, but i can always hope.'

Hand him the items he seeks.

Crusader Vragor says 'The tome! I can finally pass on in peace. Before i go I will tell you that Zhaoku rests to the east of here near Old Sebilis. He is gigantic and not easily missed.' Crusader Vragor vanishes into a mist, his sigh of relief the only thing left behind.

You gain experience!!
You gain experience!!

He will then spawn a lvl 59 Giant Dino named Zhaoku. Kill him and he will drop Thule Touched Bones and some rare spells. Those bones ID as the Remains of Tynn.

Combine all the bones in the bag and you will get the satchel of Cazic Thule. Then take the bag and the 2 tomes back to Cazic Thule and you receive the Whistling fists.


"Cazic-Thule seems pleased at the amount of pain that you have been able to inflict. Cazic-Thule then grabs your hands and begins to infuse them with his power. Your hands burn like they were placed in lava for a moment, then feel cool as ice. You can feel the sheer power flowing through your new weapons of pain."

Hail a Fallen Monk. A fallen monk says, 'Failed to find the rest I have. If you wish what is mine then give proof of the shackle unto me."
Hand him your "Shackle of Tynnonium" (He keeps it) A fallen monk says, "Earn what is mine. Show me when you have the power worthy to wield what i posses.' At this point he turns into "A Fallen Iksar Master" and begins attacking you. Kill him and he drops the " Faintly Glowing Fist".
You DO NOT get your shackle back.

In the above description it is noted "There is a small quest from the Cabilis monk guild that requires 2 torn halves for a note that you hand in to the master behind Glox and he gives you a Thin flute."

If you say to Master Raska "Gandan Tailfist" He will respond "Gandan Tailfist was the commander of a small band of Swifttails which I sent in search of the [Whistling Fists]. That was one season ago. I have heard that the Iksar Bandits have information regarding him. If you have a clue as to his whereabouts, hand it over. Unless it is merely half a note. That would do you no good. I require the full note."
The note that the bandits drops says: Note 1 "Day 25 I believe we have finally lost the Iksar bandits which have been tailing us for two weeks. That is good for we have finally found the Lost Valley. I am certain I will find the resting place of the Whistling Fists within. It was a long trek through."
Note 2: Ods. The oddest of all were the crowing serpents. Never before have I seen such creatures. Tomorrow shall be the grandest day ever, as I set foot into the Lost Valley. Gandan Tailfist Tynonium Master of the Swifttail Caste.

Both say Flayed Skin tome, weigh 1.0, and lore tab says they are both "Tome of Cazic-Thule".

Only difference is the contents which I can't read, I'm guessing they are written in Iksar. Guess I'm going to be doing some chatting with the merc.

I been working on this quest for a couple days. The last thing I need to do before speaking with CT is summoning Zhaoku by handing in book and coffin. Can anyone confirm that Crusader Vragor spawns on this server?

Did you complete Crusader's Test of the Lord #7? That NPC might be tied to completing it.

IDK why, but every time I go to post, it double posts recently. and I have been having trouble with the site loading pages and all. tried on both PC and laptop, and IE11, Firefox, Chrome, Opera. I think the issue may be on the server side on this.

This is a problem with the posting database table on the server side. I know it's annoying but don't let it keep ya from posting, I'll delete your double posts. We'll be pulling that database soon to work on it.

shackle of Tynnonium?
# Dec 02 2015 at 11:18 PM Rating: Good
So as I read this write up, I notice in the Sebilis step that when you hand in your shackle of Tynnonium, the mob keeps it, so can I assume that if you don't get it back, you surrender your shackle of Tynnonium to progress this quest and attain the Whistling Fists? Not sure if I would want to actually make that trade in current EQ... Anyone done this that can verify if you do or don't lose your shackle of Tynnonium doing this quest?

I've done this quest a number of times, and you most assuredly lose the Tynnonium Shackle. Generally you will want to wait until you have completed all the other parts before you turn it into the guy in Seb; additionally you can redo the shackle quest and complete it so that you have all the pieces ready to turn in to get another Tynnonium shackle.

The Monk in the West Cabilis Tunnel Network is named Marthor. (Loc: -352.00, -119, -52 in West Cabilis) - The Conversation goes:

You say, 'Hail, Marthor'
Marthor hiccups and breathes drunken breath in your face saying, 'Leave me be, can't you see that I am meditating or something?'

You say, 'I have the shackle of Tynnonium'
Marthor says 'Supreme Master Tynn was the only one that has even seen the weapon. I do not know its origin.

I was able to use the Shade of Cazic Thule mob in Fear to get my book. The original chat used on the actual Cazic Thule worked. Not sure if this was widely known in the moden EQ era. I trust he will take my final turn in when it comes time.

Hi. Unfortunately this quest is obsolete now with the new bare fist damage. At level 50 bare fists are 20/26 at 60 they're 22/24 at 65 23/24. Perhaps the devs should allow the bare fist damage to overwrite dmg/dly on h2h weapons like this one to allow for augs and stats?

This quest write-up is horrible; so much is missing. Posts further down suggest checking Monkly Business for a complete spoiler, but what you will find on their current forums is a partial/cropped section of what was imported from the original EZboard forums. For those seeking a more detailed walkthrough, complete with plenty of lore, that original "major spoiler" can still be found on Yuku HERE.
crusader's coffin
# Feb 21 2009 at 11:11 AM Rating: Decent
Please remove Jade Inlaid Coffin. It is a Crusader's Coffin sold by the
Mortician. I took the Jade Inlaid and it was not accepted by Crusader Vragor.
Fortunately Loracathandouis posted the correct item ( and linked) in the posts here. It is sold in West Cabalis by the mortician. The good news is, even though Crusader Vragor took the stupendous tome, he did accept the correct coffin after running back to West Cab for it and spawned Zhaoku. See
Loracathandouis' post. It seemed the most complete and helpful one.

The Jade Inlaid Coffin is indeed used in this quest, but you don't give it to Crusader Vragor; you give it (among other things) to Annaelia Wylassi in The Feerot (near the Plane of Fear portal) to get another piece for the quest.

I have had some issues with this quest. Most noteably the hail portion with Cazic. For some reason he wont respond to my Monk on Combine. Either it's because hes a quellious follower or the quest is buged. Has anyone else ran into this issue? At this time I have petitioned 4 times and /bug reported twice with no results.

Just finished this quest and boy does it feel good, I wanted these ever since I began playing EQ.

Anyways onto the important infos; im an Iksar Monk, and I had some troubles with getting him to respond to the phrase as well... it seems even tho he is extremely huge, the range to which he replies is very tiny, i practically had to get directly under him and his walking doesn't help.

So if you're not on his good side, youll practically have to agro him to get him to respond to your phrase while sneaking. Good luck!!

Lucky
# Mar 25 2005 at 10:28 PM Rating: Default
I somehow got "lucky". I bought 6 invis potions, that wouldn't prove to be enough. I went in there and swept the whole zone, I knew he was up because he was shouting throughout the zone. I finally found him in the NE where I had read and proceeded to follow him invis. I got to a good spot, dropped invis, said "Gandan has failed his task" and nothing happened. I said it again as fast as I could. Nothing. I looked here on Allakhazam, "Gandan has failed IN his task." Well, ****. So I followed him around some more (down to two potions now and my second one drops almost immediately.) and I got a perfect spot. I said it, got the book, tried to do turn in and something aggroed. Backed off and FD'd only to have it fail. At that point I somehow managed to NOT DIE. I got a successful FD off and now the ******* is walking around all of fear with the Dracoliche AND the three golems all following him exactly. Note to everybody out there, if you're doing this solo (and it can be done) DO NOT ***** UP. This is very important. You MUST not aggro him once or else you'll be shafted for an extended period of time. Bring a whole bag full of invis potions. Hell, bring MORE than that just to be safe. Bring more than one gate potion. Do whatever it takes.

Good luck.
RE: Lucky
# Mar 25 2005 at 10:30 PM Rating: Default
Not a moment after I posted this I got lucky again. All those mobs stopped following him. Now they're standing 20 feet from me. So you don't have to wait 18 years for them to go back.

Still. Eep.

*Correction* You WILL have to wait 18 years for them to go back, they just won't be with Cazic for that long.
