Jaled Dar`s shade may be found at +1590, -120. The simple way to get into Jaled Dar's lair is to have a rogue with a 210+ skill in lockpicking to open the door. If simplicity isn't your thing, or you just want the key for yourself, you can obtain it one of two ways: Either a quest offered by Zlandicar or a quest offered by Neb.

Once you've found your way into the lair:


You say, 'Hail, Jaled Dar`s shade'

Jaled Dar`s shade says 'Mortal! You MUST aid me. I will have my revenge, and my rest!'

You say, 'How can I aid you?'

Jaled Dar`s shade says 'You must wake The Sleeper. He is our salvation, he will restore a new golden age to Norrath. It was a terrible mistake to subdue him, jealousy and envy led us to do it. I see all of this clearly now.'

You say, 'Who is The Sleeper?'

Jaled Dar`s shade says 'Kerafyrm, the best of us, what we should be. We imprisoned him in a timeless slumber aeons ago. I know how to release him, but I am no longer of the flesh, so I cannot do it myself. But you can accomplish this task!'

You say, 'What task?'

Jaled Dar`s shade says 'When the tomb was closed and the entry sealed, many dragons participated in the ceremony. They invested portions of their essence into the seal. The seal is part of them now. With the right talismans, I can show you how to make a key that will allow one to pass, as if they were of the First Brood. If you do not wish to do this for the good of all, perhaps you will be willing to do it for material riches. Priceless treasures are stored in the tomb, yours for the taking, once you are inside and have released The Sleeper.'

You say, 'What talismans?'

Jaled Dar`s shade says 'Sontalak, Lendiniara, Klandicar, Yelinak, and Zlandicar are all that are left alive of those who were involved in the sealing of the tomb. Each has a talisman. Bring me any one of these items, or a large enough piece from one of the talismans from a dead first brood, and I shall unlock its power, which will allow you entry into the tomb.'

You'll need to give him either a talisman from any of the five dragons of the first brood mentioned or a Shard of Hsagra's Talisman, which is dropped uncommonly from top giants (King Tormax, Derakor the Vindicator, The Statue of Rallos Zek, Velketor the Sorcerer).

Jaled Dar`s shade says 'Very well done. Here is how you unlock the entry. Seek out a great dragon statue in the Eastern Wastes, and use this key there. Not very different from how you entered my old domain, Veeshan's Peak, now, is it? Haha, yes, I know many things, even dead.'

It's funny when people go to flame other people who politely put in their part.. and then SPELL *COMMENTS* WRONG. NOT COMMETS. Please get a clue, or at least when flaming someone cover your own ***.

bottum line kerafym is the current suprem being of everquest. He alone would win if he were to be attacked by Tunare velketor Avatar of war and all the 5 first brood dragons Kerafyrm would take them all out np at all and would still be over half hp there is a mob in sleepers called the reincarnation of veeshan and it is very strong but much weaker than the all powerful Kerafyrm
Hum..solution for zonewide DT?
# Apr 03 2001 at 1:52 AM Rating: Default
I was reading about killing Venril Sathir and remember something about Rune 5, could this be cast to absorb the Sleepers DT? just my meanderings...

Kerafyrm will Death Touch every player in the zone.

Kerafyrm will Death Touch every mob in the zone.

In between Death Touches, Kerafyrm will quad every player and mob in the zone for 800+ with a delay of almost ZERO.

After Kerafyrm went through every mob in the zone (15-20 level 60+ mobs that hit for 500+), his HP were are about 99%.


Would you like to revise your theory?
RE: Laugh....
# May 13 2001 at 12:20 AM Rating: Default
I don't know about that, but i would like to know how Sleeper DT'ed everyone...and yet we know she killed all the dragons and was at 99% health, WHOOPS!

lets try not to be such a *** when people think of idea's. right or wrong
RE: Laugh....
# Jun 30 2001 at 8:39 AM Rating: Default
what do you mean how? Is there supposed to be a logical explaination on how an npc is able to DT? idiot...
RE: Laugh....
# Jun 05 2001 at 10:25 PM Rating: Decent
maybe because kerafrym doesn't DT everyone all at once? I've seen different screenshots and that's how it looks to me. Some players then some mobs get DTed, beat up on, etc.
Obviously more than meets the eye

>> These Dragons are Lord Yelinak, Sontalak, Lendiniara, Klandicar and Zlandicar himself.

Why would a dragon require you to kill himself for the taliman to get the key?

I'm very interested in seeing exact transcript of this chat. It doesn't sound right.

In the 'quested' post is mentions that yelinak give you a medaliion ( that's one ). So, you all must be going about it the wrong way here.
RE: Obviously more than meets the eye
# Mar 20 2001 at 8:14 PM Rating: Decent
K, to clarify what you read -

Jaled Dar's Shade is in a locked room. From what I understand the lock cannot be picked; you must get a key to get in there. To get the key, you do a small quest for Zlandicar. Once you get the key, you are able to go talk to Jaled Dar's Shade, and hear the quest for the key to sleepers. One of the items required by Jaled Dar's Shade is an item from Zlandicar. You must have misunderstood what you read and believed it to mean Zlandicar wanted his own talisman as part of the quest and would reward you with the key to sleepers. Hope that helps ;)

There is about 12(gossip) warder dragons guarding around the sleeper, i would guess you have to kill ALL of them to make this dragon killable.

Looking for info from FoH's mouth, not just gossip

4 warders, kill em all and Kerafym wakes up... Tukaarak, Nanzata, Hraashna and Ventani. Then you die, any questions?
RE: Warders
# Apr 06 2001 at 6:18 PM Rating: Default
That's exactly right... he DT's zone wide, it refreshes very quickly, he quads for over 1200, he summons, he has Golem pets that double (triple?) for 800... a count was done when Da'Kor went to do the Sleeper, and there were 30 of these pets... so basically, you better kill 3 of the Warders, then LEAVE...
Quest is easier
# Feb 13 2001 at 12:46 PM Rating: Default
From what I understand you need only one talisman, not all 5 of them.
So you don't need to kill the 5 first blood dragons but only one of them.
Kerafyrm is The Sleeper

Looks unkillable, which is a shame...
# Feb 13 2001 at 8:25 AM Rating: Default
From the info they posted, he quads for 1200 with a tiny delay, death touches, and has an estimated 2.14 billion hit points. The health, if that's accurate, is what would make him really unkillable. Consider that if you did around 33000 damage per second (enough to kill Vox or Nagafen in 1 second) it would take you around 19 hours to kill him. When you consider the real rate at which people do damage, you're looking at the better part of a month.
unkillable in the state he was fought
# Feb 13 2001 at 8:50 AM Rating: Decent
But I'm sure there is some kind of trick/quest to complete to make him killable. Expect to see this dragon's phat lewts in the near future.
....wtf
# Feb 15 2001 at 12:03 PM Rating: Decent
First of all, how does ANYONE estimate HP if he has that many? Given the HP stored for enemy mobs is almost certainly a 32-bit signed integer with the release of Velious, that puts MAX HP at 2147483648, or 2.15 billion. It seems unfathomable and plain stupid for Verant to create a mob with that many HP. Also, if he quads for 1200 and Death Touches...how does anyone live long enough to get an estimate?
RE: Estimate is easy...
# Feb 19 2001 at 1:32 AM Rating: Good
Machin... most likely Verant did indeed plan on Kerafym being an unkillable mob but whatever quest or sequence that was supposed to follow his awekening was either not implemented, royaly fuxored or not tested properly (what a surprise). It would stand to reason that if Verant wanted to insure the mob was never killed that it would have the max alotted 2.15 billion hp hehe...that or someone really messed up and added a few extra zeros hehe. BTW after Kerafym DT'd all the pc's in the zone he proceeded to slaughtered all the npc's in the zone consisting of many 65+ mobs that can rage, flurry etc... and according to FoH one of their necros got a FD and harmshield off and Kerafym was at full hp after taking on all of those mobs...
Then again it could all be "working as inteded" and ST is just a huge letdown (especially the ending....kerafym despawned an hour or so after killing every pc and npc in the zone). /shrug

RE: Estimate is easy...
# Feb 20 2001 at 3:11 AM Rating: Default
I know it doesn't...but what's your point? It bought him enough time to get close enough to target.
RE: Estimate is easy...
# May 16 2001 at 11:01 PM Rating: Default
Well..if harmsheild doesn't stop DT, and "It bought him enough time to get close enough to target." how do they know he slaughtered EVERYTHING in the zone and a HOUR later he despawned....sounds like somepeople are making stuff up. It's not totally supprising, when guilds are the first to do something, figure something out, they usually like to keep it secret (depending on the nature of it) so to create some scenero like that doesnt' seem totally unreasonable, just the Actual scenerio it's self is impossible using that persons wording.
RE: Estimate is easy...
# Mar 01 2001 at 2:01 PM Rating: Default
I think Verant has finally thrown up their hands and made a MoB that is quite obviously undefeatable. No "FoH can probably do it", this is "it's not getting killed." They just couldn't resist getting the "last laugh" so to speak.

Harm touches would eb resisted im sure because all the other uber mobs resist them as well

Even though thats a joke I haven't seen a single server with that many level 60 shadowknights...plus there is no death touch discipline, its unholy aura which adds 50% or so damage to the harm touch and lowers its resistance rate to near lure(disease based).

My theories on the sleeper: It wasn't that he death touched the entire zone...they did say he does AoE death touch and in the screenshots its possible he also does single death touches as well. I'm guessing the AoE death touch has a range(and is perhaps resistable) whereas the single death touches are not resistable and have no range. Thus there is probably a way to time his AoE death touches and move out of range just before he performs it(all except for the poor aggroed PC).

Get about 300 people, all nekkid except for weapons, and a bunch of clerics with rez sticks, and you could kill something like that...but then the zone would crash...
RE: A plan!
# Mar 07 2001 at 5:13 PM Rating: Default
There would be mass confusion, 300 corpses, one pissed dragon, and a crashed zone that would get repopulated before it was put back up. HAHA i can see it now.
Veeshan is the sleeper?
# Jan 17 2001 at 9:48 PM Rating: Default
ok lets think about this.

you have to get talisman's from FIVE dragons...
get the key to "the sleepers tomb"
veeshan is NOT in the temple of Veeshan or PoA...
no one has finished this quest...
it is in the "Dragon Necropolis"
hmmm maybe "the sleeper" is veeshan herself?

just an idea, think about it
RE: Veeshan is the sleeper?
# Feb 12 2001 at 11:07 PM Rating: Default
Just a reminder kiddies, those big canyons on velious are suposedly what happened last time veeshan rested her paw on the planet. Look at the lore, she's supposed to be bigger than ALL of Norath. Get over it the sleeper isn't Veeshan. BTW, I bet there are ways to get the keys without killing the dragons. After all why would one of the first brood want you to kill all his siblings? Think a little, I know most of the game is based on killing things, but there are plenty of times where a little thought saves alot of mana ;-)
To whomever wakes the sleeper: Just make sure you have gate memed ;-D

Remember that gods can change their size - e.g Brell changes his size in one of the little stories in the original strategy guide, happens a lot in fantasy fiction too. So it could be Veeshan anyway...

Verant have stated several times that she would never be in game, but then they've said stuff like that before and subsequently changed their minds.
RE: Veeshan is the sleeper?
# Feb 14 2001 at 10:17 AM Rating: Default
know your history, Jaled Dar is the leader of the ring of scale, which is a different faction from the claws of Veeshan, the ring of scale is the brood that left Velious because they feel that there is a need to exert dragon superiority to enslave other races. Since then, they are a kind of enemy to the claws of Veeshan and also,Jaled Dar was the dragon that was slain in the final battle at the field of bones where the great grandson of Venril Sathir, Ganak rode on his Sokokar mount (half froglok dragon beastie) that suicided with Jaled Dar, then leader of ring of scale. hope this helps clear up some confusion.

Here's the rumor I heard. The sleeper is the Dragon statue in Eastern Wastes where the globe for the entrance to the sleeper's tomb is. Upon completion of dungeon you zone out at statue at this point the dragon has come alive and you have to kill it. If that is Veeshan and this rumor is true that be one hell of fight involving a lot of deaths to the lower lvl peopl in EW.

"He needs the Talismen from 5 dragons of the first brood in order to open the door." I was thinking that Veeshen herself is the Sleeper as well. Whoever finishes this Quest better hope that Veeshen is not Aggro or better have a few groups of 60's or the Adventurer could be in some trouble!

Read up on your lore to find the answers you seek...hmm 5 dragons of the first brood, A task of monumental proportions(even the quested). What will this powerful Spectre do with these Items. Ask yourself what is worse than a First Brood....THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN! Fear is the mindkiller, the sleeper is the bodykiller!

of course its quested
# Dec 30 2000 at 3:25 PM Rating: Default
Hmm lets think about this. You kill all 5 dragons to get the talismans including the quest giver (who btw might drop the key). I dont think thats realistic in the least. Doing quests from all 5 dragons to get the key is the only reasonable way. Besides more likely than not since he has a talismen himself if you bring the other 4 dragons talismans to him he will most likely give you his talisman therefore completeing the quest. Not to mention the fact that there are only 4 slots in the inventory screen when you give something to an NPC.

lord yelinak gives you a medallion upon guiding a lost person out the maze. You dont have to kill everything, try using your brain once and awhile.
RE: quested
# Feb 15 2001 at 6:39 AM Rating: Default
Using your brain won't do much good in this case. The mobs in Sleeper's all give -Claws Of Veeshan/Yelinak faction hits. One way or another, you're going KoS to dragons if you want to hunt in Sleeper's Tomb.
RE: quested

If you're faction is high enough with giants, you can kill tormax and still be an ally, same with dragons. You can work back up your faction afterwards if you must.
hmmmm
# Apr 30 2001 at 2:47 PM Rating: Default
are there any other reasons to go to a zone other than to kill ? Yes. Is it possible to quest in this zone, probly. All we know is a bunch of KOS to dragon guilds went into sleepers and got their ***' handed back to them. Questing takes a much larger role in this stage of eq. Deal with it and gain from it.
RE: quested
# Dec 27 2000 at 3:30 PM Rating: Default
presumeably the other dragons have similar quests then - makes a lot more sense than a dragon asking for other dragons to be slain! :)

Personally I am jealously guarding my Dragon factions, but I am curious... Are some of these dragons diametrically opposed to one another and do the faction penalties differ from dragon to dragon? I ask because I won't be killing any of them to find out.
