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.'

Sleeper

FYI for the newb that said the sleeper can't be killed......The Sleeper HAS been killed on two servers and will NEVER be seen again there. He does NOT respawn EVER after he's been killed. Not sure what the other server is but I know that he has died on Bertoxulous. To bad really that he's gone on my server i would have liked to have been in on that kill. I did listen to the battle on chat channel and it took approx. 3 hours to kill him with 127 toons fighting him. From what i was told he has approx. 4000 or 5000 K (that's right K) Hp with around a 1500 per tick regen!! The raid that killed him had somewhere in the range of 70 rangers doing the dps along with countless Wizzy's with the tanks keeping him buzy while the clerics rezzed and buffed the fallen for over 3 hours! What an epic battle to have been a part of.

Your partially wrong. The sleeper was never killed on Bertoxulous, awoken yes, but not killed. He has only been killed on Rallos Zek and (I believe) that japanese server (the one that uses kunark gear).

While both are amazing accomplishments, I still think the RZ one is the better of the 2 since that sleeper was the upgraded one. To top it off, it is a pvp server and the GM stopped it the first time (when it was at 20%). The second time, they killed it but for all the effort, it dropped nothing.

I have read in other places that you need all 5 Talisman's to get your key, but from what I have read here and from what the quests says above you only need any one Talisman or the shard.....not all of them.

This right? Just seeing conflicting informaton.

First question, no key needed to enter DN. Second, DN is located in one of the "scars" in Western Wastes. coming from SG, it's the first scar you'll come across. There are several columns with runes and lightning flickering between them. Click on one of the columns to enter.

Ok, once we get one of the talasmon, have a rogue with 210+ lock pick, and get into the lair, do we need to worry about agro and faction?
Can 2 turn in the key safely?
# Aug 06 2003 at 5:36 AM Rating: Default
I got "Shard of Hsagra's Talisman" last night. Can I invis with a rogue, go have him pick the door and just enter and turn it in for the key; or, will mobs see through invis and attack us, etc.
RE: Can 2 turn in the key safely?
# Aug 16 2003 at 9:49 AM Rating: Excellent
Yep, I did exactly that, with no problems. Nothing on the route to Jaled Dar's room saw invis, although I did trigger some phase spiders on the way (they didn't see thru invis). Just make sure you don't step on any bones lying around as that will set off traps. The rogue needs 210+ skill and mechanized lockpicks (or the Chierometric Lockpick Tool).

All I have to say is that when I saw the stats on the Essence Mace I really had my heart set on it! But it seems like it would be almost as hard to get a darn Sleepers Key as My Epic....What does a broke Bard have to do to get a decent weapon? LOL

Do you personaly need a key for Jaled Dar's Shade's lair or can someone open the door for you?

(I've never been in so I don't know if there's a door or portal etc... Please ignore the ignarance and flame away :))
RE: Jaled Dar's Shade's lair
# May 15 2003 at 3:00 PM Rating: Decent
Need a rogue with 210 skill and mechanical lock picks to open the door to Jaled Dar's Shades lair.. we tested it the other night in DN (trust me, running too and froo the training guild and back to DN sucked) but 210 skill is needed. If you don't follow the quest to get the key.. Get faction up with one group, kill Neb (red to 62 Druid) and turn in his head for the key.

But your question, its a door not a portal, rogue/key holder keeps door open while people go in and out.

RE: Jaled Dar's Shade's lair
# Jun 18 2003 at 2:39 PM Rating: Decent
So... Once everyone has one of the Talisman's listed, if a Rogue with 210 and the mechanical lock pick opens the door to let everyone into Jaled's Lair... is there a certain faction that needs to be raised to do the hand-in? Or, is Jaled indifferent to all?

Would hate to get there and get smoked due to lack of research... =o)
#REDACTED, Posted: Apr 05 2003 at 2:34 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The warders and sleeper do respawn. Although I can see where people would think VI would make something that only a few people could get then once the mobs were down all others being suckers thats not the case. As for whats needed yeah 2 groups for a couple of the mobs. Larger raiding force if you want to move past zi far

Why do people keep saying VI when they are no longer involved with everquest? SOE is now looking after all aspects of everquest.

Actually Marma, Saying VI in this case is technically right due to the fact that they did create The Sleeper.
RE: LMAO
# Apr 08 2003 at 10:19 AM Rating: Good
Before the ST revamp if you killed all 4 warders then the sleeper would clear out several zones on npc's and pc's, make some messages to the whole server, and then despawn. At which point the warders themselves would no longer spawn.
So is it true?????

#REDACTED, Posted: Dec 09 2002 at 11:52 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) hmmm I just read all this and thinking is it really that bad to awake the sleeper ? well im not from a Uber guild there is probly about 11 to 15 50+ in my guild the rest are 20+ but i think it kinda gives us a little goal to set so that we can think when we are finally able to kill the sleeper then we will truelly be Uber .. that is what every guild wants but if there is nothing as big as the sleeper then you cant truely fill proud of your guild ... if Naggy and Vox were the tuffest mobs in the game and you guild killed them how could you brag about it LOL there are so many guilds out there capable of killing them alone if there was no 52 Cap on it so i think there should be a gaol for even those of Level 65 or what would be the fun of the game ? just my 2 cents = )
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 18 2003 at 3:31 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well, first off, you cant kill any of the dragons that drop the keys, much less kill enough of them to get your guild into sleepers. Also, the sleeper cannot be killed.

Those uber-guilds that unleased the Sleeper did not do it to make it harder for other guilds to get primal weapons. If anything, they made it easier. Now instead of getting 6 groups to get some Primal, you can take two groups in to get them. They don't drop as much now, but are more easily attained, stop complaining.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 24 2002 at 8:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Why would anyone want to wake the sleeper? If you are lucky and make it threw all those dragons, then the sleeper awakes, and he comes out and hits you all for 20k ZONE WIDE evey 10 sec, then you all die, loose EXP, and no matter how much and how quick you guys hit you will die, so what is the point in that.
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 28 2002 at 1:18 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) cuz then they slow the other guild on the server :)
#Anonymous, Posted: Jul 13 2002 at 4:54 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) So, is anyone going to actually comment on the Sleeper's Key quest? Some good info about who you turn the Talisman into, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Anyway, back to the real reason of this post.

Zlandicar will ask you for a favor. That favor is kill NEB, Neb is the Paebla Leader of rats. Kill him to attain the key for the door to Jaled or Kill zlandicar and take his key to use for the door to Jaled. Possible killing for hours to attain + faction with Zlandicar to complete this.

Jaled accepts 5 tailsmans from the following dragons. Yelinak, Zlandi, Klandi, Lendi, Sonta

After you open the door simply put go up hail the guy. Say something along the line of where the hell is my phats and my key. Or for once read the text Jaled spouts off. Turn in your tailsman wala bada boom You got your sleeper key which is in eastern wastes.

Faction involved you need decent faction with zlandicar for the quest if you choose to kill neb, IE killing lots and lots of paebla.


#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 19 2002 at 12:45 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I am level 9, got the key, went in, a group killed 3 warders and got the 4th down real low so it was running and gated out, i hit it once not knowing what would happen and then all of Velious is pissed at me
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 19 2002 at 12:42 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Who in bloody hell would want you to wake the Sleeper!!??? He will fraking hit you for 1.5k damage! And besides, even if you do kill the freakin dragon it will cast a 10k damage zone wide nuke and will kill everyone so they wont get EXP or loot!

Sheesh... over and over and over Waaaaa, such and such uber guild screwed my server. No kidding! I'm one of those who's guild is not the uber one that set the sleeper free, and although upset, don't you have better things to do with your time? If you are THAT bothered, ask for an application to asid guild so you can hop in for Vex Thal before they get there too.
Sadly it's part of the game, and I am glad that for once they didn't make him (sleeper) static in any way. Much like real life (as this game tries to depict) once something is dead, it's dead. I always thought this game was designed for the D&D generations who needed that extra step..... tell me how many times could you go to the same dungeon and keep killing the same mob over and over and over?
Roleplaying? Bah, tis like the bumper sticker "One with the most toys wins" if those guilds beating you out bothers you...join them or get better within your own ranks....

Sleeper has been gone off CT for ??? Just pushed us "2nd tier" guilds to push harder for other items.

Welcome to a slither of real roleplaying, where you can't get 100,000 FBSS's flooding the market. Because once dead, Frenzied won't repop where you wait for him.... babies

I agree with what you're saying overall, but you have outdone yourself here. If something is killed and that is it, then there would need to be an EXTREME increase in the amount of named mobs/drops to acommodate the ever growing EQ population. The idea of "real" roleplaying could not possibly apply in such a game as EQ. It is named EVERquest after all.
Yes it true
# May 22 2002 at 9:47 AM Rating: Excellent
Yes it's true when all 4 warders are killed it spawns the sleeper. Then the 4 warders do not spawn anymore. Primal still drops off the Golems but at a lower drop rate then the warders. I play on the Karana Server the Sleeper has not been awoken. That's because we have a rotation with what we call the KGC.And people actually care about other people not just them selves.
RE: Yes it true
# Jan 17 2003 at 2:20 AM Rating: Default
btw, Sleeper on karana was awakened by some ex- uber-guildies who were PO'd at the KGC rotation.

Personally, I was waiting for a screenshot of me standing next to Kerafyrm... well ***** that dream...
RE: Yes it true
# Oct 21 2002 at 7:11 PM Rating: Default
Don't forget that when DAoC first came out THE uber guild of Karana at the time 'Almagase'(sp?) almost did wake the sleeper as a way of telling the KGC to ***** themselves just before the entire guild quit EQ and started playing DAoC.

People don't care about others as much as you think on Karana; they only have the fear of retibution.

#Anonymous, Posted: May 13 2002 at 5:51 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ayo, i recently tried to kill the sleeper with my guild, and we only packed 120 guildies. 100 were sk's god knows why, when triggered, the sleeper did not attempt to cast his dt. His regen is not 100,000hp as some may say, though he does has over a billion hp. all the sk's had mastered there disciplines, which means there ht did well over 2000 dmg. all of the sk's timed it so ht's flew at the same time, dealing a calcualatable multi-dmg of 250,000+, some dealing 1000dmg, and others as much as 4000. after this, he still did not dt. and we attempted to nuke it. however the second we nuked, he dted. We have only raided once more after, and i shall tell u, we gathered all sk's and put as much sta on one as possible. we shouldve done it on a war, possibly better effects. the sk's base sta wuz 95, plus over 250 sta of equipment, he wuz packing an amazing possibly unrivably 22,388hp EXACTLY. after researching the DT of all zones, asking numerous GM's, and persnonally mailing verant, they have revealed that a DT only does 20,001 dmg. yes i said 20,00***1*** the things verant does. anyway, we went back in after much hell, we started the battle with a nuke, and guess wut? DT!!! and guess wut? the sk lived, and we errr... all died, however then he kicked the sk for 3,535dmg and he died, but the things we do yuhknow?, anyway sorry for the long post, but i hope its informative, and it shows that with about 4000sk's in a zone, and vernat uber buffing the zones capacity without a crash, we could kill the sleeper.... every wunder wut he drops? hehe that would kik ***:
