Stoneroot Falls

Get a wiz or druid to use Underroot portal.

Run to the NW. If you have invis you can avoid the lizards and bugs until you get to the undead island. Keep to the water on the left side of the island to avoid the undead. There are two ways to zone into the Hive. Use the overland one to the north, not the water one farther south. The north one comes out in a safe tunnel where you come out near the Succor location. The southern water one splashes you into water -- it's a cool fall -- but there's a real good chance of getting aggro.

As soon as I got into this place it said I was hit for 200000 points of damage. It said I fell. WTF!?!?!

This is now the 65-70 level hot zone as of January 2009.

Learning the Power

** Upon recieving the mission, you get a piece of coral with 3 charges of enchanting Lull or something like that. You need this, dont destroy it.

Step 1: Find the enterance to the Korlach's Lair

enterance to the underwater tunnel is +921, -1047
this will lead you to your zone


Step 2: Find the young witherin

He is in the 3rd big pool room, just keep heading North until you get to the room with Basalisks in it. The young witherin is on the left hand side of the room (note: this may not always be the case, but it was for us)

When you get close to him you will trigger a task stage complete, after that you may use the coral to "charm" him. Upon doing this you will spawn 4 protectors throughout the zone.

Step 3: Defend yourself from the Protectors

They spawned with 2 buddies (a witherin slasher, and a witherin thrasher) in 4 different spots.

#1 was in the room with the young witherin
#2 was back in the tunnel you came through to get to the young witherin
#3 was in the large room just beyond that tunnel.
#4 was in the first big pond room (aka the second room from zone in)

Kill them all and you will set off a Task Stage.

Step 4: Get back to the enterance

Self explanitory

Step 5: Talk to Widdlethorpe Gemfinder

Done.

This is the best I remeber.

Some advice...

Move quickly, respawns happen fast.
Bring crowd control and/or FD puller
The mobs in the first room are Pacifiable, but still require an FD puller to get singles. They are jammed together.
The first pull most likely will be 3, prepare for it.
The caster type witherans will cast on you forever, just nuke em where they stopped, or you will spend so much time waiting for them to come in that you will get repops behind you before the room infront of you is clear.
