You can obtain this quest from De`ess Al`coda in what was Siren's Grotto at 2387, 1475, 31. She is on the find tool CTRL F.

You say, 'Hail, De`ess Al`coda'

De`ess Al`coda continues to hum as you approach her, only to be startled by your words, 'Oh, wow I wasn't expecting visitors.' Her voice is as soothing as you would expect a siren's to be, you remember that there is a reason that sailors fear them. 'Well, I can't very well turn away a guest! Welcome, and since you are here, would you mind helping us? There is a problem we are having with our [food source]

You say, ' Food...Source?'

De`ess Al`coda continues to speak, her voice is welcomed to your ears, especially after spending all of this time in dealing with the restless ice, 'Yes my friend, you see, the othmir out in the bay have been overfishing the bay, and because of this we have been slowly running out of our stock. Would you be a dear and [get rid] of them for us?'

You say, ' I would love to get rid of them for you?'

You have been assigned the task 'Unchained Melody'.

De`ess Al`coda brushes your cheek and gently taps the side of your head in approval, "Good Wood Elf, bring me their fishing poles to prove that you have done this. The othmir don't go anywhere without them, I'll be waiting here for your return.' You feel the need to do anything that De'ess Al'coda says, she makes you feel welcomed and it is a feeling you realize you haven't felt for a while. As you turn to leave, she says, 'Oh, and if you happen to find two small seashells, you will want to collect those as well, I need them for a special project.'




Task Window Text: You recall only De'ess Al'coda's face and voice but cannot recall much about what she was asking you to do. You resist the urge to go back to her and stay in her company, but what was it she wanted again?

Oh, right! The siren's food supply has been running out due to overfishing from the othmir, she needed you to take away their fishing poles. Unfortunately for the othmir, they don't part with their poles easily, you may have to take it from their cold, dead hands. You also remember that she asked for two small seashells

  1. Take the fishing poles away from the othmir 0/5 Cobalt Scar

    Kill non-restless Othmir until you collect 5 Functional Othmir Fishing Pole



  2. Deliver the poles to De'ess 0/5 Cobalt Scar

    Of course! Now that you have the fishing poles, she wanted you to give them to her as proof of your deeds. You don't want to keep her waiting!

    De`ess Al`coda looks more stunning than when you first approached her, you aren't sure what is different, but you are relieved she was still here, waiting for you. 'Oh, my goodness! Look at you, you poor little thing. You went through all this trouble having to deal with those hideous creatures for me? Bless your heart!'



  3. Deliver the seashells to De`ess 0/2 Cobalt Scar

    That's right! You almost forgot you collected those seashells for her! She will be happy when you give them to her.


    Collect 2 Small-Sized Restless Seashells from the beach and deliver to De`ess..

    Put this in your cobaltscartwo_1.txt map file to find the seashells. They have a fast respawn.

    Your task 'Unchained Meolody' has been updated.
    You have been given: Al`coda's Seasshell Earrings


  4. Deliver the earrings to Merien Gilfoyle 0/1 Cobalt Scar

    This time she asked you to simply deliver something to a mermaid somewhere in the grotto. You must find her and make the delivery. The sooner it is complete, the quicker you can go back to De`ess Al`coda.

    Give the earring to Merien Gilfoyle, who is right up the water tunnel above De`ess.

    Your task 'Unchained Melody' has been updated.

    Merien Gilfoyle looks astonished that you approached her without harming her, she appears to keep a cautious eye on you while you hand her the earrings. 'Oh!' she exclaims while looking relieved. 'De`ess sent you! That makes me feel much better about you finding me. Thank you for bringing these to me, they are fabulous! There is the problem with the deal her and I made, I seemed to have misplaced it.' She looks embarrassed, 'You see,' she gives another awkward laugh, 'anything that gets misplaced in the grotto can either be found amongst the othmir, the sharks, or the mimics. In this case, I believe the mimics have the necklace. You may need to search a few before you find it. They will be outside the cave entrance to the grotto. Bring me back the necklace to make sure you have the right one, those mimics will eat anything that is shiny.'



  5. Find the necklace amongst the mimics 0/5 Cobalt Scar

    Merian.Gilfoyle, a mermaid who is in contact with De`ess, wants to replay the favor for the earrings by getting De`ess a trinket that was stolen by one of the mimics in Cobalt Scar.

    After killing the 5th Mimic (little animated boxes on the bed of the sea floor), a "Sea-Soaked Necklace" appears on your cursor.

    You have been given: Sea-Soaked Necklace



  6. Return the necklace to Merien 0/1 Cobalt Scar

    Merien will want to inspect the necklace to ensure it is the correct one. Return the necklace to her.

    Merien Gilfoyle says, 'Perfect! That's the one! Here...' She hands back the necklace, 'Take it to De`ess, she's been waiting too long for it's return. She said it is a family heirloom and asked me to locate it for her, but I'm no fighter and those mimics bite hard. She will be happy to see it's returned [sic].

    She will give the necklace back to you.



  7. Return the Necklace to De'ess 0/1 Cobalt Scar

    De`ess is waiting for her necklace.

    De`ess Al`coda entire [sic] complexion changes the moment you hand her the necklace. Her eyes are sunken, her skin looks darker, and she appears almost sinister. There is no way this is the same De`ess Al`coda that you met before, that isn't possible, there's no way she would be anything but breathtaking! As you try to get her attention, she hisses fiercely at you and for a moment you feel pure terror. You think it's best if you leave this creature and go find the real De`ess Al`coda.

    Your task 'Unchained melody' has been updated.

    It's abundantly clear that De`ess is no longer in need of your services. Though you wonder if you will ever get to hear her voice again.

    You gain 425 platinum.
    You have gained 25 ability point(s)!

If you're boxing this or in a group where you're all in a fellowship, create a campfire in the tunnel leading toward Western Wastes(directions below). Nothing paths through there.

Pick up the seashells off the beach prior to going back to to De'ess with the fishing poles from the Othmir. Collecting them is not a step in the quest. Just turning them in. This will save you a trip.If you do not know this area that well or are confused the fellowship campfire will make this so MUCH easier for the turn ins between De'ess and Merien Gilfoyle.

If you're confused how to get to the tunnel, regular invis, once you enter the grotto, jump in the water, stay Left/West, take the slight NW tunnel not the immediate Left tunnel(This tunnel has a Neriad mistress at it's entrance and the mercenary quest giver Adella Undertow, again DO NOT go into this one) The correct tunnel will have a neriad maiden near the end. Go up at the dead end, drop down into the water, go North onto land where you will immediately see a protective ulthork, continue North until you can immediately make a left or go West. This tunnel also leads to Western Waste if you continue to follow it to end of zone.

Two a protective ulthork guard the entrance before Merien Gilfoyle, it's easier to kill them both if you're boxing rather than being invis for turn in. after turn in to Merien, drop down to where De'ess is and jump in the water, go into the tunnel a little bit where there are no mobs, uninvis, campfire, invis back up and leave to kill mimics right at the entrance tunnel to the grotto. (From your campfire tunnel, you just head South, jump in water, fall down and continue South and exit through the tunnel.) Come back through using the directions above, kill the a protective ulthorks, turn in to Merien, drop down to De'ess. kill sirens near her(usually 2 siren beguiler), turn in, invis, drop down into water, go into tunnel, uninvis, campfire, and head to Western Waste if you need to do Mercenary and partisan there.

If you hug the back wall and max distance for hand-in, you can turn-in and not aggro the 2 by the door.

Even if you do not drop invis yourself, she seems to give off an aura that will cause it to drop, and the two mobs guarding the entrance to the water tunnel will attack.

Are these mobs already up or do they spawn when you do the hand in?
