 This quest is obtained from Kerath Punox in Sul Vius: Demiplane of Life.


It seems that there may be up to six different versions of this task -and seem to be related to progression for requesting heroic adventures in Crypt of Sul.

The assignments vary, but boil down to:

1) Kill commanders, destroy ballistas
2) Kill mobs, destroy weapon crates, kill more mobs
3) Kill mobs, kill commanders
4) Kill mobs, kill couriers, kill more mobs
5) Kill mobs, kill ballistas, kill commanders (listed above)
6) Kill mobs, destroy weapon racks

One note about the tasks involving killing inanimate objects (weapon crates, ballista, weapon racks, etc): The mobs guarding any one of these objects seem to be aggro-linked. They can be snared, haven't checked for root.

You say, 'Hail, Kerath Punox'

Kerath Punox says 'Ah, yes. My brother has spoken of you, Tarvas. I'm sure he told you what our business is, so I won't bother you with that. All I want to know is whether you are interested in some [private] work, you and a few friends. Or are you one of those folks that prefers a [larger endeavor]?'

You say, 'private'

Kerath Punox says 'It is good to see you again, Tarvas. We appreciate that you have taken up the [job] [opportunities] we have found [for you]. Things appear to be coming to a head, and your assistance is desired once again. My contact, it seems, was impressed with your skills and, in their desperation, has asked for you specifically. This offers both of us a [chance] to earn a bit more than usual.'

You say, 'job'

Kerath Punox says 'A good choice. I am uncertain exactly what it is that they are in need of. There will be a list of some sort available to you once you arrive. I know that is very little information, but it seems that my contacts only want you to know what they desire. For some reason they do not trust me. Under that condition, are you [still interested]?'

You say, 'still interested'

Kerath Punox says 'Well chosen. You know the way to the Plane of Health, I'm sure. Be warned, things have changed some since you last passed that way.'

Zone in by zoning into Plane of Heath from either Sul or PoT.



Objective Instructions:

Step #1

  1. Fight your way through the invaders 0/8 (The Plane of Health)

    Fight your way to the north west, ballista's are clustered around the zone in hut to Sul Vius. Everything sees invis and IVU. Each ballista has two to three mobs around it. The ballista themselves are immune to spells. There are six all together.


    Step #3
  3. Kill the commanders directing the attack upon the Plane of Health (0/5) (The Plane of Health)

    Task Window Says: Head through the gateway, and kill the commanders in the area who are leading the attack.

Group and I finished all tasks except the "open the chest and collect your reward" step.

When we redid the quest the next day, still no chest. Friend suggested I hit "Find." Hit it a few times and chest appeared on find. It was quite a distance away but we got to finish the quest.
