This group task begins with Old Man McKenzie in the Plane of Knowledge. He is located in one of the taverns due south of the main bank. Your group's average level must be at least 80 in order to request this task. Players under 80th level can participate as long as the average requirement is met.

You must have completed the "Ancient Heroes: Nagafen's Lair" and "Ancient Heroes - Lower Guk" tasks in order to request this one.

Dialogues?

You have been assigned the task 'Ancient Heroes - Cursed Guk'.

Old Man McKenzie says, "That was a blasted dark slimey Brell forsaken hole if I ever saw one! We were lucky to get out of there with our lives. The curse of Ykesha is serious business! Not like a youngin' like you would understand what with all your fancy corruption now a'day.

Nagafen's Lair isnt enough to get this mission

You have to do Ancient Heroes - Nagafen's Lair and Ancient Heroes - Lower Guk before you can get this mission. Best mission for a small crew. I use cle + nec but i guess cle + mag or any melee will do just fine.

No XP

Why is XP still listed as a reward? You don't get XP from OMM missions anymore.

Replying to an old post, but I still get regular experience plus 3 AA's per completion (all characters are level 82ish and get about 3% each). It may be that they don't give normal experience if you are above a certain level or maybe you just don't notice it.

A group of average level 80 is indeed the only requirement.
I did enter all 3 with a level 55 character.

See what happened...

The task locks when all named mobs are killed. The "boss" is not special in any way.

To open the chest it is required that all named mobs have been killed.

To open the chest it is required that 3 characters are present in the zone.

Only opening the chest will finish the task and grant the reward.
LOCs?

I started boxing these with Monk, Enchanter, Cleric.

Enchanter and Cleric both have IVU
Monk can easily tank anything except the Lord, and it can tank it, it is just a bit hairy.

Use Expel Undead on the Cleric for added dps when you have mana. Be careful on the Lord though, you will need the healing mana. Just dot with the enchanter for additional damage on the Lord.

During the fights mez the adds and then mind wipe them. Once everyone shows out of combat, IVU up and move to the next one. I would pacify pull Executioner, Savant and Lord, or it can get hairy trying to mez everything in those rooms.

Feel free to contact me about it if you are on Xegony.

Foustes 85 Paladin
Polamalu 85 Monk
Mojoroshambo 85 Shaman

A very good post. Thanx for scouting and writing it up. Once I figured out the map area, this was an excellent walkthrough.
