    This group mission begins with Vizier Zio (click for map image) in Katta Castrum. He is located in the top of the portalmaster's tower at around -2010, -2010 (southeast section of Katta Castrum).

    Pre-requisites for Requesting:
    - None

    Say "help" to request the task and "ready" to zone into the instance.

    You say, 'Hail, Vizier Zio'

    Vizier Zio glances over at you as you approach and his eyes narrow. 'Yes, what is it? Speak quickly for I am very busy. I must bring those [traitors] to [justice].'

    You say, 'What traitors?'

    Vizier Zio says 'Unfortunately I have been completely unable to locate the traitors who conspired and killed Emperor Zhisza! It is as if they vanished from Zhisza completely!'

    You say, 'Justice?'

    Vizier Zio says 'Some day those loyal to the true emperor, Zhisza, will [rise up] and spill the blood of traitors until it flows through the temples like a river. Then at last Zhisza will be avenged!'

    You say, 'Rise up?'

    Vizier Zio says 'But how can they? Those loyal to Zhisza are afraid to show themselves, afraid to trust anyone. They may be next to feel the point of a blade. Perhaps you can [help] me to mobilize them . . .'

    You say, 'I can help'

    Vizier Zio says 'Yes, yes! Here, take this. What you hold in your hand is the mark of Zhisza himself. Show that to the Shissar in Zhisza. Those loyal to Zhisza will speak my name. Those who are not, well . . . deal with them. That will be one less foe the day we strike! When you are [ready] I will help you slip inside the habitat.'

    You receive "Mark of Emperor Zhisza".

    You have been assigned the task 'Leave No Stone Unturned'.

    Vizier Zio is the leader of the faction that wants to work with the Combine, believing that the two sides must work together to rectify the problem with repairing the failing sun artifact. Let Vizier Zion know when you re "ready" and he will secretly teleport you into Zhisza away from prying eyes. You should be safe...enough.

    Vizier Zio knows that if the Pellarus Satum fails completely, both sides will be in serious trouble. Most of the Shissar are on the side for war, but Zio thinks that there are some some Shissar that are still loyal to Zhisza and will join his side. He has given you a mark of the true emperor, a reminder of Zhisza - and asked you to find Shissar that will work with him, and kill those that wont.

    You say, 'We are ready'

    Vizier Zio says 'Do not fail me, _____!'

    LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
    You have entered Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary.



    Attempt to convert 3 Shissar Supervisors 0/3 (Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary)

    Convert 10 Shissar 0/10 (Zhisza, the Shissar Sanctuary)

    Once inside, start clearing mobs and, while doing so, target shissar and click the "Mark of Emperor Zhisza" on them (note: the click effect is a small nuke, so it will break mezzes).

    Upon a successfull click, the shissar turns into "a Zhisza Loyalist" and goes non-aggro:

    a Zhisza Loyalist intones 'Loyalty to the true Emperor will never fade! Tell Zio I stand ready.'
    a Zhisza Loyalist is tested by the spirit of Emperor Zhisza!

    If the click is unsuccessful, you see this:

    a Shissar patroller hisses at you! 'It is past time for old ideas to die!'
    a Shissar patroller is tested by the spirit of Emperor Zhisza!

    Supervisor locations:

    - Shissar Supervisor Sslarn -- west of zone-in
    - Shissar Supervisor Enpsa -- east of zone in
    - Shissar Supervisor Mozull -- second floor of the pyramid; easternmost square room

    Map points for a "zhisza.txt" map file:

    P 72.2168, -1248.4659, 360.2474, 0, 0, 0, 1, Supervisor
    P 997.2776, -108.5790, 201.6469, 0, 0, 0, 1, Supervisor
    P -808.8291, -1155.1569, 360.1503, 0, 0, 0, 1, Supervisor

    Note: The Supervisor clicks can fail as above, but they still update the task. These mobs hit for a max ~2,300; flurry; and have ~120,000 hitpoints. Each casts two spells:

    Precision Tail Strike: Single Target, Poison (-400)
    1: Decrease Hitpoints by 2000
    2: Feign Death, 87% Success Rate

    Venom Blast: Single Target, Poison (-400)
    1: Decrease Hitpoints by 500 per tick
    2: Decrease Movement by 35%
    3: Increase Poison Counter by 1



    Return to Vizier Zio and report your findings 0/1 (Katta Castrum)

    You say, 'Hail, Vizier Zio'

    Vizier Zio says 'You slew the traitors and rallied the true loyalists of Zhisza! You have done well this day!'

    Other than golems and shissar, you can ignore the other non-assisiting MOB's (gorillas, bugs...).

    It appeared only 1 out of 5 OR 6 converted when I clicked them. I did find however, that you can convert more than the 10 required for the task (saving a kill or two can speed up this task a bit...).

    Of the supervisors, I found one (Slarn) (had to kill for the update) on the middle-east side in the clearing. Another (Enpsa) (converted) at the top end of the west side. The 3rd was on the 2nd floor of the pyramid (hall on right side).

    On the 3rd one -- the click alone got the update, despite the fact he did not convert... nor was he dead yet.

    - animals are all social to themselves, but not to Golems or Shissar
    - Shissar & Golems are social to themselves, but not to animals
    - Shissar Supervisors casts a FD-Spell -> survival possible
    - some trash mobs seem to quad for over 2300, esp. basher golems at <10%, some lucky strikes and you are in trouble

    The supervisors are easy also with a rogue:
    - Hide/Sneak
    - start disc Counterattack
    - use Mark of Emperor
    - immediately Hide/Sneak again
    --> mostly you survive, esp if the supervisor also casts a FD on you

    Also it is possible to use Escape instead of Counterattack. If you have 10k+ HP and perhaps a Rune from Enchanter, then it is easy to sneak also into the pyramid and use this trick with the supervisor there. Went out alive after converting two overseers. At the third it is always a good portion of luck to do that in that manner.

    The Rest of the bunch are easy with and Mezzer and a Rogue. 5-6 Shissars are possible directly in the area of the succor point and the caves there. The other 4-5 you get fast heading in either direction to the pyramid.

    Only 80 Orux at AB today, saw it a day before at 165 Orux :(

    i've used a monk to solo this task to farm orum/faction up alts for so long now and i could usually do it in about 20 mins with a 5-10 lockout, depending how quick i was.

    tried it again this morning after a few months of not doing it and with a completion time of 27 mins (rusty =P) i got a fat 18 minute lockout. guessing they up'd the replay timer
    Some info...

    - Pain Golems, Deathcallers, and Supervisors see-invis

    - If a snake does not convert on first try he won't convert at all

    - Any snake may convert including supervisors

    - Supervisors will not return to their spawn point once agro'd

    - Monks seem to have an easier time than bards converting the see-invis deathcallers, bards can convert the patroller's very easily

    - Bards can get around easier, while the monk has to train the see-invis around, keep this in mind if duoing it

    Took us 1.5hrs on our first try, 165orux each.

    soloable by bard
    # Apr 08 2007 at 9:37 AM Rating: Decent
    yes this mission is definitly soloable by a bard the only tough part is the see invis cause the mobs hit for up to 2800....my experience with this is to move slow and when you come in contact with a see invis mez it from a distance(all yellow mobs at 74 and only about 2 resists), run past them, then fade and keep moving. as for the shissars, you have to be very close to try and turn them so same deal with mez from distance then get close and click stone and be ready to fade if it fails and move to next shissar. the part where i died 2x was inside the temple for the 3rd supervisor cause its so tight and see invis are clustered at times. my strat for this part was to DA and run through level 1 then fade on ramp up to level 2, sneak around invis to the supervisors room, then i deftdanced and ran in there and clicked stone and ran and faded out. reward is faction and 55 orum per person. eta on completion is 1-2 hours
    Bard soloable

    Can also be solo'd by a bard in qvic (or TSS groupable) gear.

    But as noted, you need at least 3 to actually request the task.

    This is not a solo task:

    "You can not be assigned this shared task because your party does not contain the minimum required number of players."
