This quest provides alternate access to the Crypt of Decay, aka the Ruins of Lxanvom.

You say, 'Hail, Grimror Plaguebringer'

Grimror Plaguebringer says 'Grimror no have time ta talk. Gots stuffs ta do.'

You say, 'What stuffs?'

Grimror Plaguebringer says 'I wuz sent here by Zulort to, err. . . To gadder some alchemy type stuffs. Him have big plan, and need me to travel lots.'

You say, 'What big plan?'

Grimror Plaguebringer laughs. 'Me not tell you dat! Grimror keep secrets secret. You gonna help Grimror or no?'

You say, 'I will help Grimror'

Grimror Plaguebringer says 'Dat good!

Grimror Plaguebringer says, 'Grimror been getting compon ents for dayz now and Grimror still not finushed. You gonna get dem tings fur me?'

You say, 'What about dem tings?'

Grimror Plaguebringer used to answer 'Grimror need bile, dat stuff es strong here! But Grimror keent seem to git eet all. Bile comz from da leetle bugs. Keel little bugs, and geeve Grimror dere leetel bodiez and Grimror give yuuz anyting dat yuuz want. Dere be four leetel buggiez dat Grimror still neez, seegeen, scaveen, genereen, and harroon. Yuuz bring Grimror dere skinz and Grimror geeve you anyting yuuz want.'

Whilst that information about needing Larvae Flesh from Sengian, Scaevian, Generian, and Harrion Larvae is still correct, Grimror now answers:

Grimror Plaguebringer says, 'Grimror need bile, dat stuff es strong here! But Grimror keent seem to git eet all. Bile comz from da leetle bugs. Keel little bugs, and geeve Grimror dere leetel bodiez and Grimror give yuuz anyting dat yuuz want. Dere on four leetel buggiez dat Grimror still neez, two uf dem come from da fliez, one comez from da wurmiez, and one comez from the moss-skeeterz. Yuuz bring Grimror dere lavas and Grimror geeve yuuz, and yuuz freends, anyting yuuz want'

Hand in the four Larvae Flesh:

Grimror Plaguebringer says, 'Yuuz dun guud! But Grimror keent geeve you anyting, but Grimror have dis. Grimror also have seekret information. Krypt of Deekay in in here. Dunt tink yuuz wanna go in dere. Dere be mean old rotten keengs in dere, yuuz dunt want ta mess wif dem, dere also be udder sortz uf baddies in dere, be carefuul if yuuz goin dat way. I hurd stories dat Bertoshulus es in dere too, Grimror even saw him in here one time. In dis place yuuz only gots ta worry about Grummus, him fatter dan Grimror, got theek skin too. Him have key ta get inna de Krypt,but Grimror knew da seekret way een. Dat bracer keen make da portil into de Krypt tink dat yuuz belongz dere. Guud barshin!'

The key will appear on your /keyring as "Grimror's Bracer grants access to the Ruins of Lxanvom."

Bangle of Disease warding has been added to your key ring.
Your group has had keys added to their keyrings!

Group gets flagged
# Apr 24 2003 at 5:24 AM Rating: Default
Your entire group does get flagged.
Grimror spawns as he normally does.
Those in the group that are *not* the last person to turn things in, if MQed, or to not turn anything in at all, will not see *any* sort of quest message, I didn't.
Typing /key will show you whether you got flagged or not, it should say, "Grimror's Bangle/Bracer allows you access to the Ruins of Lxanvom(sp)"
Those in the group who are not the last person to do the turn in will *not* recieve the bracer, but still have access to CoD.
Grimor is MIA

It appears that Grimor has been perma killed.

This was done soon after the last patch. In this patch they changed the quest to a mini flagging event, where if the person who does the quest hand in is grouped, then the whole group gets keyed for CoD.

Why did Sony take this Grimor out (as well as all other alternate PoP entry quest mobs?)?

So dont waste your time with this until the next patch, when hopefully some thing may be done to bring back the alternate key quests into PoP.

All online guide/GM replies have been that he (and other quest npcs for alternate flags) is gone, but no other information is forthcoming.

This would be nasty if Sony decided to stop people from access to tier two if they thought too many were getting flagged.

Good luck and safe travels,

Jalia

I've found that none of the larva spawn spots in particular yield the named bugs. I've seen 3 Scaevians up at one time and 2 harrions at a time. The generian seems to be the least commonly found, but their PH's seem to be the highest level of all the larvas, at a max of 54.

Question

RE: Question
# Mar 24 2003 at 4:53 PM Rating: Decent

Gimme a friggin break and post the damn quest or a link and the item in return with stats. wtf good does it do us to hear u did the quest and are happy. Im so damn exstatic for you all.
RE: gimme a friggin break
# Feb 14 2003 at 12:01 PM Rating: Decent
I did the quest and I am happy, I would link it, but your attitude sux.

Ah ***** it, you probably cant help it.

Is right clicky insta cast resist disease giving 40 vs dis. has 7 ac but is race: none. You can cast this on other players as well as yourself.

I have read its key to the crypt of Decay.

Update: I entered the Crypt of Decay today, confirming this is the key. Its the hole in the ground behind the sewer pipe that leads to POD that is the entrance to COD

I've gotten all of them and per Eyronomous's post his chart worked perfectly, with the exception of the scaevian larvae. A time frame on this is days. Im a 63 driud and I could easily solo any of these mobs with dots, or with a charmed rat. But getting them to spawn is tricky. The majority of the PH's are in one common area near the Pestilance houses, you'll find them and be able to kill them there. But when you are done go back to zone like and head towards the "fly islands" you'll find a few PH's over there. The Named can spawn in any spot, after usually about 3 full clears of any ph the named popped this can take a hour if you are as slow as me. But in group I doubt longer than 20 minutes per clear. I can't seem to find the PH for the Scaevians, I've cleared most everything once or twice. If you guys know which mob is the definate PH for the Scaevians I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Oh yeah and I noticed the last 2 I killed (named) both dropped parchments, I dont know if Im lucky or if it was meant to be that way, but they do drop parchments.

#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 16 2003 at 12:07 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) is this key a insta clicker? if it is, im doing this quest cause i need a nice insta clicker for raids, and being a mage, i would love this for the resists also =P
Generian larva
# Jan 06 2003 at 2:54 PM Rating: Default
Is there a particular location and place holder associated with the Generian Larva? Have been able to find the other 3 but so far no luck with the last one. Any help apreciated.

Thanks,

Mob locations

Here is what I've found are the PH's for the different named mobs you have to find

Harrion PH = malarian larva found near the fly camps

Generian PH = Planarian larva found near the middle of zone

Sengian PH = Tachnian Caterpillars found by going right when facing the bone castle Entrance

Scaevian PH = not sure, i think it is the tsetian pupa these are found at the same area as the tachnian caterpillars

none of these named mobs were much harder than their PH's I soloed them easily as a 61-62 nec. none casted

I'm pretty sure the PH's for the Scaevian Larva are the tsetian pupa (not tsetian pupal).

I'm working on this quest atm, currently have 2 of the 4 skins required. From the 2 named I have already killed I have got parchments from both of them. There is also a Scaevian Fly that pops in the fly camp, its not needed for this quest but I killed it anyway, also droped a parchment.

None of the mobs I have killed in PoD summon. I believe only the court yard mobs, and some of the larger spiders summon. The most difficult part is single pulling the mobs, even using harmony I've got a few adds. There is a named goo (Rankle) that I've not aggroed or tried to kill while doing the rest, I dont intent too until I find out if he casts/summons or not. I normally try and charm either a sewer or feeble rat to kill the larva, makes things faster and you can keep adds rooted while your pet does the work.

Info on the harrion larva (and I assume the same goes for the others):

Around 15-16K hp
Warrior type, estimating around lv54-56
Sometimes enrages (dependant on level perhaps)
Not sure what it hits for (rarely get hit kiting), I think somewhere in the 200+ range.
Key to Crypt of Decay

For anyone still confused about this quest, the resulting item is a key that allows you access to the Crypt of Decay. It's the alternate way to gain access to the zone for those that don't have a guild large enough to kill Grummus.
RE: Key to Crypt of Decay
# Dec 31 2002 at 2:51 PM Rating: Default
I just recieved this item for COD and was wondering where is the enterance? Is it thru Grummus cause I sure hope not.
RE: Key to Crypt of Decay
# Dec 31 2002 at 4:57 PM Rating: Good
Seems like the entrance to COD is in caves up above near there zone-in to the POD.

Does anyone know where theSegian/Sengian Larvae spawns?
RE: Location
# Dec 25 2002 at 11:24 AM Rating: Excellent
Sengian has tachnian caterpillars as PH, there are 6 total in zone, you want the 4 right around in the middle by pusling houses, one of the longer camps for most people.

Over by the mummy guys (pestilences) around their house. You hunt mummies, you will eventually see the worm you need.

new info, in todays patch VI said to use identify for next step. I will try it today and see if there is more step on this quest item or its for the previous items.
Nice for those dispelling encounters
# Oct 29 2002 at 4:45 PM Rating: Default
clickable from inventory means to don't have to loose stats from a better item to use it. Insta click will save a lot of re-buffing on raids with AoE dispells, unless of course the MOB is using disease base spells where you want a better disease buff that won't stack, but those are less common, and it will still come in handy if your better disease resist buff gets dispelled.

Risk/time vs Reward...well, maybe not worth it if you weren't getting EXP at the same time hunting these things. But since you do...

I wonder if this item is used in the research quests in PoK. It talks about decifering magic items. People believe items with no class or race are used in this quest.
