Miscellaneous Information
- Achievement Name (and clue): Undeterred Wayfarer. You join a band of Wayfarers, but there's no clue that I can derive from "undeterred" even after completion.
- Prereqs: I completed an Epic Request and took each ornamentation.
- Lock-Out: ~10 hours after completing the ENTIRE quest. However, you CAN just try the Berserker part, fail, and try again without a lockout.
- Success Message:(After the final event) "The strange assortment of scavenged artifacts should make for a more interesting telling of this tale."
Event Summary
Story
You visit Keras who holds himself in exile still because he killed his Warrior friend in a sparring match. (He went "Berserk".) Keras is speaking with an old friend of his - Old White-Eyes (Barbarian Shaman). OWE explains that there's a corruption that is spreading and driving people crazy. You join OWE and a band of Wayfarers at Keras' behest to seek out the corruption.
Steps
Follow Old White-Eyes
Battle 1 - Archers
- OWE MAY give you a stack of Axes of the Savage depending on your level. Per the experience of another berserker in this discussion, you can use whichever throwing axes you like. Kill the ambushing archers standing on the crumbling columns to either side of Old White-Eyes.
- Once the archers are dead, Commander Trakich (Iksar) runs through and weakens the Bloodgill Goblin that OWE is tanking. I killed him quickly.
Follow Old White-Eyes to the Wayfarer's camp. Chatting with the Wayfarers teaches you that some of them are jerks. There are some kin of Keras' (accidental) victim in the mix as well. After you're done chatting with everyone, tell LT. Tasith "I am ready to begin" and you'll start running together. I didn't talk to anyone except the officers in my winning attempt, so their conversation is not required.
Battle 2 - Mouth of River
- Several undead and Kylong attack the band of Wayfarers. Kill them. I did nothing special here.
March onward with the band of Wayfarers. But something's wrong. OWE will blind you for a few seconds and then you'll be able to see the world as he can. You see Keras' sparring partner, Brinny. Someone is channeling rageful spirits and that's the cause of the corruption. Let OWE know when you're ready to continue to the final battle. Note: Hailing the surrounding ghosts in the "OWE viewing" phase kills them. Brinny says, "Mc... ar... ik". If you say back to him, "McArik," he flees! I spoke to Brinny in my winning attempt, but didn't speak to the other ghosts.
Continue running with the group until you take up an ambush position.
Battle 3 - Source of the Corruption
- OWE engages Xalgoz.
- One Wayfarer officer tanks Commander Trakich.
- The other Wayfarer officer tanks a named Iksar.
- Everyone else fights the 4 types of adds (multiple of each). Help kill them and then Commander Trakich.
- Instakill "an ireblind attendant" (Iksar ghost) using ONLY a JOLT disc
- Instakill "a headstrong acolyte" (Iksar skeleton) using ONLY a STUN disc
- Instakill "a steadfast loyalist" (Sarnak ghost) using ONLY a SNARE disc
- Instakill "a weaponlonging soul" (Veksar/Kylong) using ONLY your epic 2.0
- Commander Trakich: Melee with your epic 2.0
- Specter of Rage: Keep your epic 2.0 equipped! Turn off all DS and turn your back to the Specter of Rage. (You're implementing maximum discipline! Control the rage!) The Specter of Rage will change forms. When he does, use the same disc as you would above for that form. (ie. If he turns into an Iksar ghost, use JOLT.) If he turns into a Kylong, though, ignore him until he changes again.
- If successful, in addition to giving you the standard "task stage complete" message, it'll say something like "you've collected things for an interesting story". Or something like that.
