The Darkened Sea Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor



About Heroic Adventures:

- They use the task system (steps are shown in task window, but steps are only revealed as you get to them).
- Scale in difficulty, loot quality, and mob levels (based on your group's highest level player - as low as 85).
- Tuned for 2-3 players and their mercenaries.
- Nameds can spawn as you progress through the task (you usually have to complete a few steps before this can happen).
- Collection items can drop from mobs in the instances, and ground spawns appear midway through tasks.
- Expected time of completion will vary by your group's makeup (anywhere from 30-90+ minutes).
- There is some variations/randomization in the task steps you'll be assigned as you progress through the task.

About Our Documentation of Heroic Adventures

- We only display task steps we know about.
--- If you encounter a step that isn't documented here, please post the details (or email us) and be sure to indicate which step number it was so that we can display it in its proper place.

TASK IN DETAIL

========================================================================
TRIGGERING THE TASK
========================================================================

You say, 'Hail, Mough Kyslaz'

Mough Kyslaz says 'Yeah? You another one of them [adventurers] lookin' for any job that pays?'

You say, 'Adventurers?'

You suddenly take note of Mough's surprisingly unattractive face as he turns to speak to you. 'Yeah well yer used to this. There's somethin' I want and can't get but maybe you can. That siren's song lures out all kinds of folk and not one of them seems too upset about how hideous them sirens is. You bring me back that [song] and I got a fair prize for ya.'

You say, 'Yes... I'll get the song...'

Mough Kyslaz says 'Good, tell me when yer [ready] to go.'

You have been assigned the task 'Seductive Subterfuge'.

Mough Kyslaz has been tormented by his own appearance since birth. He believes his luck will change if you are able to capture the siren's song for him.

You say, 'Ready!'

Mough Kyslaz says 'Good luck down there.'

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Caverns of Endless Song.

========================================================================
STEP #1
========================================================================

Clear the tunnels of aggressive sea life 0/14 (Caverns of Endless Song)

Task Window Says: As you make your way through the treacherous caves you will no doubt encounter the vicious sea life that roam the depths. Kill any sharks, swordfish or barracudas that get in your way.

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Eliminate the seduced 0/20 (Caverns of Endless Song)

Task Window Says: ?

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

========================================================================
STEP #2
========================================================================
Eliminate the seduced
Task Window Says: As you make your way through the treacherous caves will no doubt run into the love struck marauders that have gotten themselves captured and enraptured by the siren's song. Put these poor fools out of their misery!

Destroy the elementals

Task Window Says: Mough has had no luck in finding the source of the seductive siren's song but he has one last hope. He thinks the song has been stolen by the reclusive elementals that dwell deep within the cavern. 'See what sound those creatures make when you smash their bodies to bits!
Banish the skeletons, spirits, and banshees 0/11 (Caverns of Endless Song)

Task Window Says: Mough had no luck in finding the source of the seductive siren's song but he has a theory. He believes that the song has been hidden in the spirits of the undead that haunt the eastern halls of the cavern. 'See what sounds the skeletons and spirits make when you banish them into nothingness!'

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Put the sirens to rest 0/10 (Caverns of Endless Song)

Task Window Says: Mough believes that one of the sirens still holds the power of seductive song and that their 'silence' is just an act. He would like you to beat the song out of these deepwater temptresses.

If You Get This Step: Kill update.

=====================

Eliminate the enthralled 0/9 (Caverns of Endless Song)

Task Window Says: Mough thinks that the enthralled that have taken to the song of the siren have been blessed with its haunting tune. He would like you to find every 'enthralled' inhabitant and try to steal the song from their stilled hearts. 'If they refuse to sing then do away with them!'

If You Get This Step: Kill update. "Enthralled" mobs are found in a very specific part of the zone. In the above map image, they are in the small circular rooms reached via connections "N" and "P".

=====================

Destroy the elementals 0/8 (Caverns of Endless Song)

Task Window Says: ?

If You Get This Step: Kill update your find 8 Water Elemental's in the NW area. (M) on the Map above. .

Points of Light

I've spent some time recently running this for the hunter's achievement. So far 6 tries and no rare.
However I've found several locations where the points of light spawns. Look for them in the Alcoves of the Western Caverns. They usually show up sitting in the seashells like pearls. They also spawn in the undead area where Fire Eyes spawns. Also the Northern most Crista spawn area and also where Captain JanesWorth spawns (look on the throne too). There's still one hidden spot someplace I haven't found. On some rounds I've only been able to find 3 of the 4.

Some of the enthralled (arcane casters) do see through invisible as do some of the sirens(Witches). Sea life and zone animals are amiable to rangers and druids.

Also the wait timer is 3 hours from the start of your last attempt.

I got: Destroy the elementals 0/8. I found 6 at location Q and 8 at location M. None saw through regular invis and they were various types of elementals, which all counted for the task.

Success Lockout Timer: 06:00:00

im not 100% on this, but im pretty sure lock out is 3 hours, not 6.

I did The Edge of Balance right before doing this mission and /tasktimer currently says:

The Edge of Balane: 0d:3h:47m remaining
Seductive Subterfuge: 0d:1h:22m remaining

this was my first run through this mission and kind of took my time so about 90~ mins seems right on time spent.

The lockout timer starts from when you get the mission. not when completed. So for example if it is 6 hours. if it takes you 2 hours to complete, your lockout time will be 4 hours.

No named spawn for us, alas Did loot 2 collectibles and located another 3 by scouting around. These pages are really tough to find in the Bazaar and when they're offered they're priced crazy high, at least on FV. Really easy at 105 with good gear. Killed the 28 mobs needed in about 20 minutes. Was pulling 3-4 at a time to save time.

When the named spawned, right after the emote about 4 shining points of light, you get a yellow on-screen emote that says "a formidable foe approaches"

I found two collects in the room at the top of the spiral. Looked every where else I could think of to find the other two, but didn't see them.

1. Clear the tunnels of aggressive sea life 0/14
2. Eliminate the enthralled 0/9
3. Speak to Mough Kyslaz

There are always 3 steps: 2 kill updates and a final hail. There is no 3rd kill update step as is currently shown in the info right now. Correction to Jidokwon's post about "Entralled" mobs: They are definitely in the "N" and "P" areas on the map, but they *are NOT undead mobs*. They **appear** undead (like zombies), but they change form to living, pirate-type mobs around 40-45% hp. I am a cleric, and I can tell you that they do not respond to Invis vs. Undead, nor do they respond to Smite the Wicked or Turn Undead. Except for the "as enthralled witch," they do not see invis (maybe "an enthralled evoker" also sees invis, but they are uncommon).

Only 3 steps, not 4.
Collectibles and namer/PH spawn once Step 2 completed.

Collectibles were not localized -- I found 3 in three distinctly separate areas. Scoured every inch of the zone for another half hour and never did find the 4th.

My group did this HA and one of the steps was killing enthralled mobs. We didn't have a tracker, so it took us quite a while to find the mobs. They are undead in the N and P areas on map here.
