This task follows the task Summon the Spirits. It begins with Gubjak the Lost at location 1840, -1645 in Blightfire Moors.

At the end of the previous task:

As you approach Gubjak, you can almost make out a melancholic smile. He informs you that you have successfully loosened the hold the lost Ogre spirits had on the world of the living but now must perform the [second] portion of the cleansing ritual.

You say, 'What second portion?'

Gubjak the Lost says 'Now that our grasp upon this world is loosened, you must finish it off by destroying the [totems] that bind us here.'

You say, 'Totems?'

Gubjak the Lost says 'The ancient totems that surround this area are spiritual anchors which prevent us from truly crossing over. It is the skulls of the lost that bind us here. . .own our treachery that shackles us to the netherworld. Once they have been [destroyed], we will be free to join those that have gone before us.'

You say, 'Destroyed?'

Gubjak the Lost says 'Yes. . .you must remove the skulls from the totems. . . this will destroy the spirit anchor between our worlds.'

You have been assigned the task 'Lay Them to Rest'.

Remove the skulls from the totems (Blightfire Moors)
Slay the Ancestral Guardians (Blightfire Moors)
Speak with Gubjak (Blightfire Moors)

Around the Camp fire he sets are quite a few stone totems which have skulls in them (Repop time?). Left-Click the skulls to update the task, which also spawns 2 Ancestral Guardians.

The skull crumbles to dust in your hands. . .

Your task 'Lay Them to Rest' has been updated.

Repeat this 10 times to complete the first objective.

You have slain an ancestral guardian!

Your task 'Lay Them to Rest' has been updated.

Repeat this 20 times to complete the second objective and hail Gubjak to complete the task.

You say, 'Hail, Gubjak the Lost'

Your task 'Lay Them to Rest' has been updated.

As you approach Gubjak, you sense an aura of peace emanating from him. Before he fades away, he manages to thank you for allowing him to join his ancestors.
Your faction standing with Spirits of Nokk got better.
Your faction standing with Guardians of the Dark Tower got better.
Your faction standing with Circle of the Crystalwing got worse.
You gain experience!!

You have successfully been granted your reward for: Lay Them to Rest

I could only find six different totems. (I may have been blind.<s>)
I did find that at least four of them respawned. (probably all of them)
FYI, I could only find them on the tall posts around the circle. I did not find any of them up the lane.

I may have been level 32 when I did this part but this is what I did. Sure it is a little longer but the experience gain is amazing doing one of the guardians at a time.

Firstly I cast Invis to Undead on myself. I then clicked the small dark skull on the posts around the clearing of the bonefire. Just one post at a time, spawning to Ancestral Guardians. Being Undead they didnt see me so I was able to move a distance away. Secondly I cast the Calm spell Rest the dead on either of the skeletons, usually the one at the furtherest point to me, then quickly cast the snare spell. Sometime it landed, othertimes it resisted. I would regardless of the outcome, run away from the other so not to agro it and when I was away from the other I would cast my various DoTs, casting snare if it had failed. Sure I may have been hit a little recasting snare but at that point one is better than two. Anyhow I should have mentioned I cast Panic the Dead, cheap undead fear spell, before DoTting. So Snare then Panic, or just straight Panic then cast the DoTs, depending how the pull went.

Anyhow, solo, this was very easy to do at my level.


**Edit I should add if Calm fails, then just run fast as and FD. Obvious I know, but hey least I remembered to add this :)

Just wait a day before you do the second half of quest. This way you don't have to have a bunch of add on nokk skelies. Was easy as a 44SK. Mobs spawned as light blue.

Soloed this quest as a 58 PAL.
Doable, but be prepared to have a lot of adds to deal with...
Had up to 6 mobs on me, all undeads ones (2 an ancestral guardian + 4 others skellies). And my comp was lagging a bit, so was quite messy!
Did it quite a long time ago (in october i think), so i don't remember exactly, but some of the mobs might have been green to me, most were grey.
One of the skull was hard to find, in the ground or something.
Was quite happy with the reward (hadn't read anything about the quest, might have been the first to do it on prexus...), first trap i ever put my hands on...
2 an ancestral guardian will spawn in front of the totem, facing center of the circle, each time you pull a skull.
If you are far enough from them you might not agro (some skulls are placed so that you can't push them without being automaticaly attacked).
If you are too close, pull one and you get the other to join (highly sociable mobs! Or i was high on their "wanted dead or alive list" as a paladin...)
Nice quest to do for the fun, will try trap to see if it works on living mobs too!

You say: 'second?'

Gubjak the Lost says 'Now that our grasp upon this world is loosened, you must finish it off by destroying the [totems] that bind us here.

You say: 'totems?'

When I did this today, the Spirits of Nokk were still up from the previous quest, adding when they were within range.

Pretty much work your way around the circle until you are complete, with the center point of the circle being the fire pit that Gubjak has lit.
