After completing the Ethereal Cleansing quest, you will receive a Glowing Black Skull Necklace.
You say, 'Hail, Millius Darkwater'
Millius Darkwater lifts his sword out of the water at his feet and scans his eyes across you. 'Hello, ______. The waters stir angrily today. Prexus is not pleased at the tarnishing of his waters by the spawn of Innoruuk. The Deepwater Knights have been trying to locate this [place] for many years.'
You say, 'What place?'
Millius Darkwater says 'The legends of Broken Skull Rock have been whispered for years. Indeed several of our greatest vessels were lost while in search of this island. Many of our [knights] died trying to cleanse Prexus' waters of this great Evil.'
You say, 'What knights?'
Millius Darkwater says 'Most recently a Cavalier named Chester Steelblade went in search of the legend. He was gone at sea for months before we received word from him. The letter we received spoke of a map that he'd found as well as a somewhat cryptic reference to having found the [key] to Broken Skull Rock. One of our [clerics] took a small group out in search of him, but we have received no news from either group.'
You say, 'What key?'
Millius Darkwater says 'He didn't give any more information about the key, but we're sure that he must have found something that led him here. We have found no sign of him or his crew yet. Truthfully it would be a miracle if he were still alive. I follow his path in hopes that I can continue his work where he left off. If he is dead then his spirit may yet linger here. Tied to this world by his unfinished task.'
Intermediate dialogues needed.
Give Millius the Glowing Black Skull Necklace and he'll tell you that you still haven't found Chester.
To find Chester: Zone in to Dulak's Harbor, go into the lighthouse and into the secret passage. Go straight until you come to an "octopus bridge" (you'll know what it is when you see it). Mid-way across the bridge there is a branch that goes to the right. Take that branch. At the end of this tunnel you will see a stone-brick entrance with some steps down into a passage. This is where you want to be, just before the steps (p1404, n416).
Chester Steelblade spawns in the far right corner in front of you (about an hour long spawn). He does have a place holder, so keep the area free of MOB's (they were mostly dark blue Luggalds, at Level 52).
You say, 'Hail, Chester Steelblade'
A soft glow fills the cavern as an ethereal form begins to form in front of you. The stern face of a middle aged Erudite forms from the swirling mists and begins to speak to you. 'Find the key to Brokenskull and free me from my torment.'
Give him the Glowing Black Skull Necklace.
Chester Steelblade twitches as the necklace touches the ethereal form. You feel unfamiliar hands in your packs, but before you can check them, the stern face of the ghost turns into a snarl. The spirit's hands dart forward and take hold of your throat with an unholy strength.
You receive Spell: Light of Life. He will then attack you. Deal with him as you wish (note: He is undead) and be on your way. |
