You can obtain this task from Fipnoc Birribit in Deepshade. You can find Fipnoc Birribit at /waypoint 1342, -810, -106 located right before the entrance to Deepshade in Ruins of Shadow Haven. He is on the find tool as well CTRL F.

You say, 'Hail, Fipnoc Birribit'

Fipnoc Birribit says, 'Ah, a fellow adventurer. It is nice to see you. I'm Fipnoc Birribit and I'm from the Wayfarers Brotherhood. I've been sent here to do some research into this cave that we have called "The Deepshade." As you can see, the door that was once here is gone and inside lies a cave system that has been untouched for what may be eons. However, once the door was opened, we could hear strange [sounds] coming from inside. Truth be told, adventurer, I would really appreciate your help investigating the cave.'

You say, 'sounds'

Fipnoc Birribit says, 'Indeed. You see, the inside of this cave has had some awful sounds coming from it. There's a strange chanting, as well as various screeches and the occasional [cackling]. Not to mention the loud roar that was heard shortly before the door burst open in the first place. It can be deduced that the roar came from the giant owlbear spirit that rampaged Shadow Haven, but more remains to be discovered inside. This is where you come in!'

You say, 'cackling'

Fipnoc Birribit says, 'That detail has us worried too. So this is where we will need your assistance. I could use a seasoned adventurer such as yourself to head inside and gather up as much information as you can for us. We don't know if the cave is even safe for the explorer types to delve into without a risk of threats that we cannot handle. Someone as prepared as yourself, who handles danger on a regular basis, could help mitigate loss of personnel by going in first. Will you help [document] your findings for us?'

You say, ' I will help you document your findings.'

You have been assigned the task 'Enter Stage Left'.

Fipnoc Birribit says, 'Fantastic! I knew you would! You adventurers can always be counted upon to help with investigations into the strange and unknown. Here is a logbook that you can use to catalog your findings. I already marked a few questions that need answers. Please return to me once you have gathered all of the information needed. I look forward to reading your findings.'

Fipnoc gives you Fipnoc's Deepshade Logbook.




  • 1. Discover the name of the owlbear spirit that was inside the Deepshade 0/1 Deepshade

    This updates around /way +996, +133, +20.90 where a painted Grakaw is visible.


  • 2. Find anything thay may tell the story (Chapter 1) 0/1 Deepshade

    This updates around /way +167, +1143 where First Visage of the Daemon spawns.


  • 3. Discover the origins of the Deepshade (Chapter 1) 0/1 Deepshade

    You say, 'Hail, First Visage of the Daemon'

    First Visage of the Daemon says, 'There was once darkness within the Deepshade. No light could penetrate these walls, as a small pocket of Brell's kingdom remained unmolested from outsiders. There were other beings that eventually called this place their home. The fungus people you may see are from the caves above this one. Their spores seeped through the ground and found their way into this cavern, creating the lights that you see here. The elementals were attracted to the power within this cave, and they too began to grow in numbers. Finally, one other entity joined the Deepshade, a powerful spirit that bent even the darkness to its will.'


  • 4. Find anything thay may tell the story (Chapter 2) 0/1 Deepshade

    This updates around /way +213, +1155 where Second Visage of the Daemon spawns.


  • 5. Discover the origins of the Deepshade (Chapter 2) 0/1 Deepshade

    You say, 'Hail, Second Visage of the Daemon'

    Second Visage of the Daemon says, 'This entity's name was Malthshisku, and they too were drawn to this cave to Grakaw's power. While the beast slept, the daemon fed, growing fat from the power and mad with the banality of the caves. To attempt to stave off the crippling loneliness, the being decided to create a show for the great owlbear, hoping to lift both of their spirits. This play was a retelling of how they came to be, and they poured their heart and soul into the performance. For actors, they used the beings that were already living in the cave, such as the elementals. The fungus people refused to be a part of this show, and the daemon happily acquiesced, so long as they also watched the play.'


  • 6. Find anything thay may tell the story (Chapter 3) 0/1 Deepshade

    This updates around /way +348, +1167 where Third Visage of the Daemon spawns.


  • 7. Discover the origins of the Deepshade (Chapter 3) 0/1 Deepshade

    You say, 'Hail, Third Visage of the Daemon'

    Third Visage of the Daemon says, 'Grakaw was unimpressed with the show. However, during the performance, Grakaw was able to gather enough energy to bellow a mighty roar that could be felt all across this moon. The violent shaking is what caused the entrance to this place to burst wide open. If you are hearing this, it is most likely because I have lost my mind and have no other way to convey the story of what has happened in the Deepshade. Look upon my works and remember them. There is an entrance to another cave system within the Deepshade. This door leads to a chamber of riches and gold! If you can find it, I leave my wealth to you.'


  • 8. Climb to the top floor inside the structure found in the middle of the Deepshade 0/1 Deepshade

    The crystal structure in the lower part of the zone which can be reached through a hole in the ground at /way -587, +1091. Climb to the top floor.

    Once underground, go to /way -422,-192,-278. Go inside and climb to the top floor.

    This will update around /way -276, -192, -182 near 3 blue crystals.

    The lights outside the cavern bounce across the walls inside this crystalline structure. It is unclear how this got here, though you suspect the being you just heard about may have had something to do with it. The objects in this area also may suggest that this is a 'living quarters' for that entity.
    Your task 'Enter Stage Left' has been updated.


  • 9. Collect samples of spores from the spore creatures that inhabit the Deepshade 0/7 Deepshade

    Deepshade Spore Samples drop off a spore minion. They cannot be prelooted.

    They are near the hole in the ground where you entered the underground. /way -515, -1000, -269


  • 10.Document your findings at the spore pools to the northeast 0/1 Deepshade

    Quest Text: The spore pools in this area are bright enough to cause you to involuntarily wince at the sight of all of them in one spot. The beauty of this area is only masked by the fact that you are surrounded by angry fungus people who are not happy to see you here.

    This will update at the coloured fungus pools around /way 381.44, -1025.73, -265.20.

    Your task 'Enter Stage Left' has been updated.



  • 11. Discover the fungus person "village" 0/1 Deepshade

    Quest Text: The chanting that you heard when you first entered the Deepshade is emanating from this area. The rock formation seems to suggest that this is a living area for the fungus people. The crude structures do not seem to fit any of the fungus people very comfortably. You tend to believe that they created these huts just out of habit, or because they saw someone else doing it, so they wanted to do the same.


    This will update around /way 526.29, 728.53, -419.67

    Your task 'Enter Stage Left' has been updated.



  • 12. Give Fipnoc the logbook 0/1 Ruins of Shadow Haven

  • 13. Tell Fipnoc the name of the owlbear spirit 0/1 Ruins of Shadow Haven

    You say, 'grakaw'

    Your task 'Enter Stage Left' has been updated.

    Fipnoc Birribit looks fascinated by what you have just said. 'Grakaw? That's incredible. Well, now we know what to call the beast instead of 'the beast.' I also read within your documentation that somewhere in the cave there is yet another door that leads even further in the caves. We need to find this door and see what's behind it. It must be absolutely fascinating.' Fipnoc thinks a bit more about your notes. 'While it sounds beautiful in there, your report about breathing in a musk smell while entering has me a bit worried. Hopefully, if you inhaled those spores, as you most undoubtedly have done, they won't leave any lasting problems. I asked you to collect some of the spore samples. Did you bring those?'


  • 14. Give Fipnoc the spore sample 0/1 Ruins of Shadow Haven

    Turn in the Sample to Fipnoc

    You offered 7 Deepshade Spore Samples to Fipnoc Birribit.

    Your task 'Enter Stage Left' has been updated.

    Fipnoc Birribit looks at the spore samples you gave him and evaluates them before speaking. 'Fascinating, we will have to do some more research on these to learn more of the ecosystem that has been built within. These samples are covered with all sorts of brightly lit...' He takes a moment to ponder the next word. 'Spores? I guess? Tell me, how many different colors of these spores did you find within the cave?'

Well, it is safe to say that this being has taken a pretty 'colorful' approach to telling their story to those who are willing to see it. These findings are incredible and our research benefits because of your hard work. Thank you, adventurer. We will have to consider future expeditions to expand our knowledge of what is happening inside this cave structure. We will get to the bottom, or top it seems, of where this secret door is. We will also see if we can get some more information about the fungus people who live here. I'm sure that in the future, we will need you to collect more findings for us, so be sure to check back in with me at a later time. I hope to see you around, adventurer!'

    First, this zone has an upper and a lower level (and lots of mountains and valleys in both). There are several ways to go between them, but here is a passage that's quite handy for this quest, not just to enter the tower. My loc:
    P -1067.0968, 545.2286, -37.5400, 0, 240, 0, 3, HOLE_DOWN/UP

    To get the quest - Key word is [document] :
    You say, 'Hail, Fipnoc Birribit'

    Step 1 above:
    You see the name 'Grakaw' on the wall before you.
    Your task 'Enter Stage Left' has been updated.


    Step 2-7 above:
    The coloured walls is at the undead area. I was first unable to spawn them because I was too close to the wall. The locs above miss the how low it is, so here's my loc for the 1st Daemon, the other 2 are just further along the wall.
    P -1153.3523, -153.5341, 14.2594, 0, 0, 240, 3, 1st_Visage_of_Daemon

    Step 8 above: Climb to the top floor inside the structure found in the middle of the Deepshade 0/1 Deepshade
    If you now just run toward the tower, you are on the wrong level to enter. Run south to the passage between up and down and then towards the crystal tower. Get inside, and run all the way up to the top. The update is basically at the top mob's feet. All the mobs in the tower are PH for the Faceted Windra.

    The lights outside the cavern bounce across the walls inside this crystalline structure. It is unclear how this got here, though you suspect the being you just heard about may have had something to do with it. The objects in this area also may suggest that this is a 'living quarters' for that entity.
