Tides of Time Overview.



This Heroic Adventure shared task is available in Tides of Time.

In order to get the task you have to complete Broken Key of Fear and then right click Repaired Key of Fear.



The Repaired Key of Fear invites you the chance to further explore the tower of Tides of Time. The key sticks to your hand, you fee a like string or hair touch your hand but can't find it.

This HA is based upon the average level of the group so the mobs will change that is in your instance.

  • 1. Investigate the spiders nest 0/1 Tides of Time

    This updates in the center. 2 of the dessicated corpse attack. They are slowable but not mezzable.

    2 a stonechiller spiders spawn (124) upon the death of the corpses. They are mezzable.


  • 2. Destroy the desiccated corpses 0/2 Tides of Time

    Kill the other zombie. 2 spiders again spawn upon its death. Kill them.


  • 3. Investigate the spiders nest 0/2 Tides of Time

    Go to the center of the room again.


  • 4. Destroy the spinechiller egg sac 0/2 Tides of Time

    Kill one of the of the egg sacs. Upon its death, 2 spiders spawn and attack. Kill them.

    This step didn't update for us, therefore we never finished it and we ran this HA multiple times and it bugged out every time.

    Steps 3 & 4 repeat.

  • 5. Investigate the spider's nest. 0/1 Tides of Time

  • 6. Destroy the hatchling spinechiller egg sacs 0/2 Tides of Time

    Each egg sac will spawn two spiders, kill them.

  • 7. Defeat the spinechiller matriarch. 0/1 Tides of Time

    You say 'Hail, a spinechiller matriarch'

    A spinechiller matriarch skitters to [attack].

    You say, 'attack.'

    At this point the matriarch will attack. Upon death:

    A spinechiller matriarch crunches alarmingly, legs twitching in the air.

    Your task 'Oasis of Fear' has been updated.

    You have faced your fears and removed the eight-legged pests from the Oasis of Fear.

    When I did this the trash spawns just keep coming. There was no pause between sets of them. They're all mezzable and don't hit that hard. I did it on Agnarr with group of 65s. They can be handled but the fights will keep you busy. Then the boss spawns and engages. You switch to the boss and kill it but any remaining trash still needs to be killed. Then you still need to visit the egg sacks to complete the mission.

    It's possible visiting the egg sacks might prevent some spawns or make them vanish when the mission completes. Have to try that next time.

    I get to different stages each time. Once the boss spider would not agro, just her and the 2 egg sacks next to her left in the room, both untargetable/attackable. The next time i stand next to her the whole time and she agros late in the fight, kill her and the room full of add spiders along with the corpses, but the steps do not update. I ended up trying again with the same results. I stayed in the room just running around the room, meditating back to full mana, ran around the room again, and eventually it updated and gave me the completion. Script seems buggy, but it eventually worked after a couple of days of trying.

    Correcting typo in the article task text:
    Quote:
    The Repaired Key of Fear invites you to further explore the tower Tides of Time. The key sticks to your hand. You feel something like string or hair touch your hand but can't find it.


    On entering:
    Quote:
    Entering the room, you notice that the spinechiller matriarch has been working on her nest.


    On investigating step 1:
    Quote:
    The spinechiller matriarch nest begins to stir with life.


    Step 2 the zombies are two "a desiccated corpse" that become active and attack.

    On death of a desiccated corpse:
    Quote:
    A desiccated corpse explodes as a swarm of spinechiller hatchlings emerge!
    A desiccated corpse falls to the ground, dark fluids leaking from every wound.

    It spawns one or two hatchings, "a spinechiller scout" and/or "a spinechiller sentinel".

    This step requires two sets of two desiccated corpses.

    Step 4 they are "a spinechiller egg sac" the ones that are lit up (brighter) are attackable.

    On death of a spinechiller egg sac:
    Quote:
    A spinechiller egg sac explodes as a swarm of spinechiller hatchlings emerge!
    A spinechiller egg sac dissolves into a gritty pile of webbing.

    It spawns 2 hatchlings, spinechiller sentinels and or spinechiller scouts.

    After killing two egg sacs, steps 3 and 4 repeat:
    5. Investigate the spider's nest
    6. Destroy the hatchling spinechiller egg sacs

    Step 7. Defeat the spinechiller matriarch

    A spinechiller matriarch scowls at you, ready to attack -- looks like it would wipe the floor with you! (Lvl: 108) [at level 105, Aradune]

    She was briely attackable then respawned non-attackable.

    Quote:
    You say, 'Hail, a spinechiller matriarch'
    A spinechiller matriarch skitters to [attack].
    You say, 'attack'
    The spinechiller matriarch lunges at you with murderous intent.
    A spinechiller matriarch clacks its pincers together, venom dripping from their sharp points.


    During the fight: "A spinechiller matriarch begins casting Sticky Spider Spray." "You are covered in sticky lumps of silk."

    Sticky Spider Spray is a directional AE (320 to 40? degrees) that causes damage per tick and slows movement by 35 and combat speed by 50, for 0:36.

    On death of the spinechiller matriarch:
    Quote:
    A spinechiller matriarch crunches alarmingly, legs twitching in the air."

    Pay attention to steps. It seemed like at the end we didnt have all the steps. It said next step was investigate the nest. Fortunately I was able to get updates by running around the room several times and it finished.
    try to do steps in order - you can't?

    The script is poorly written. Like Tompet posted, the death of a mob spawns additional mobs. As I was killing, my extended target list quickly expanded.
    Unlike previous rooms, the mobs did not come in triggered steps, they just piled on until the room was clear. The kills all counted towards the 'steps'
    When the dust settled, I just had to approach the matriarch several times to get the investigate 'steps' credited.
    The thing that did trip me up was that on the last step of Kill the matriarch, it does not go agro until you HAIL it and then click [attack] in the text that follows...
