Galha spawned as lvl 115 for each of my 3 lvl 110 chars. Ended up getting 2 spawns at once, wasnt able to split them. Was a bit rough but was able to do it with mercs.

If you swing wide of the beach and head to the south wall, you can approach the crate without agroing Galha. Then pull him 1 at a time for each char.

So i solo'ed this quest today with my lvl 86 ranger. The only thing i would add to the guide and other comments is that when Galha Thuxpire spawns when you investigate the crate, he is the same level as the character that caused him to spawn (not lvl 115 as the guide states.). Galha Thuxpire wasn't too tough, i had 43% hp left when he died.

I just did this with a 122 SK. He was level 115. I believe based on this, he scales only to level up until 115.
yeah

Yeah, so one spawns for each quester so if youre doing it as a group dont rush all members at the same time because you can get overwhelmed very rapidly.

It does appear to scale to group.

The quest book is gound spawn behind Tollari Mistell In Erudin Library.

Fauma Reista says, 'Thank you. These are just what I have been looking for. This Compendium discusses at length the proper care for hatching and raising a phoenix. I will enjoy reading them. Now [what is} this?

you say, 'what is that?'

Fauma Reista says,'This [note]. I don't think it was meant for me.'

You say 'Note?'

You have been given: Notice of Loss.
Your task: 'Buried Too Deep' has been update.

Fauma Reista says,'You can take it and see where it leads.'

(when you right click the note)
The writing appears to be in Thieves Cant, you begin to read.

"Wanted one missing delivery. A parcel has been lost on its way to Mr. Stam. Seeking any information on it's safe return. Last seen on a ship headed towards South Qeynos"

The quest log says Travel to Erud's crossing and investigate the boats for signs of the note's writer.

In Erud's Crossing, approach the sunken ship for an update. On an exposed portion of the ship is a glowing object. This turns out to be a note saying (in Thieve's Cant) "Try to stiff me on payment? I will keep this pretty package and see what hatches. Dun Blagard"

The quest log says to deliver both notes to Dun Blagard in the trading post (upstairs) in North Qeynos.

after giving Dun the notes
Dun Blagard says, 'This wasn't meant for you. It was left for a contact of mine who failed to provide [restitution] for services rendered'
Dun Blagard says,'Now What's this?'

You say, 'What Restitution?'
Dun Blagard says,'I am no comfortable discussing my business dealings with a stranger. But if you run into my associate Galha Thuxpire, let him know that payment hasn't been received.'

Quest log states speak with Galha Thuxpire about the payment. He can be found on the docks of South Qeynos.

(approaches Galha)
You say, 'the payment'
Galha Thuxpire says, 'Do I [know] you?'
You say, 'No, you don't know me'
Galha Thuxpire says, 'Then why are you [talkin' to] me?'
You say, 'I'm talkin' to you because Dun Blagard sent me.'
Galha Thuxpire says, 'Oi. I'm sick of waitin'. We ain't getting paid. That [crate] has only been trouble since we nabbed it.'
You say, 'What crate?"
Galha Thuxpire says, 'Well now, that's just mine for safekeepin'. I will look after the box here on the beach and Dun waits for the coin. I will be keepin' that for myself for now.'

The quest log now says 'Investigate the crates for delivery'
The crate is on the beach, on the other side of the wall from Galha. As you approach, you will be attacked by a high level version of Galha. (114?)

After killing Galha, you loot a note that reads 'There are too many eyes looking for this right now. Once the heat is off meet me in the Stonebrunt Mountains with the package. Keep it secret and stop writing me notes.'

Next to the crate is a glowing object. picking it up gives the following announcement.

You have found the stolen Phoenix Egg that Dun Blagard and Galha Thuxpire were conspiring over. Now to figure out what they were doing with the egg.
Reward is some experience, money and 5 New Year Nectar.

This also leads to a new quest Ignite the Light.

Start this during the 3rd step of "Paper Too Thin" in Erudin Library
1. Collect the Buried in Light volumes in Erudin - ground spawn in the Library where Paper Too Thin update is
2. Deliver the Buried in Light volumes to Fauma
3. Say the word [note] and receive a Note of Loss on your cursor
4. Travel to Erud's Crossing and investigate the boats - loc update on the sunken ship near -1300, +2115
5. Collect the Letter of Restitution - blue bauble on the exposed prow of he ship
6. Deliver the Notice to Dun Blagard in North Qeynos - (2nd floor of Sneed Galliway's Trading Post)
7. Deliver the Letter to Dun Blagard in North Qeynos
8. Speak with Galha Thuxpier about [the payment] - (he is in South Qeynos (at the docks in the corner behind Raz the Rat)
following the prompts ends with the word [crate] and updates the task
9. Investigate the crates for the delivery - THIS IS WHERE IT GETS DIFFICULT!!!!
-- the crate is in the water to the left facing out to sea
-- IF you run over it the task updates and Galha Thuxpier appears on the beach and starts beating on you -- he was blue to level 116 group members
IF MORE THAN ONE PERSON IN YOUR GROUP RUNS OVER THE CRATES YOU GET MULTIPLE Galha Thuxpiers that spawn
- to our group 5 players level 116 and 1 cleric merc we ended up with 2 blue Galha Thuxpiers and 3 white ones. - COMPLETELY unprepared for this. We wiped.
10. Defeat Galha Thuxpier
11. ???

We will return to figure out strategy step 10 more carefully later.
There is one more hidden step after Defeat Galha Thuxpier.

It is all fun and games until Galha Thuxpier shows up!
