 Quest Guides - The Sword of Lost Light (Part I) |
 |
The quest for the Sword of Lost Light is one that starts when your level is in in single digits, and continues well into your 20s. You'll need to collect seven keys, and ultimately be capable of taking on the Guardian of Lost Light, a 65th level Undead. Part One - The Low Levels
The first six keys are found in low-level limited dungeons near beginner towns. Five of the dungeons are limited to levels one to six, whilst Holburg's Dungeon allows up to level 10s in. The dungeons are as follows, listed in their recommended order:
I recommend this order for three reasons:
At the bottom of the slope you'll find a large room with a high ceiling. Take the left exit and follow the corridor around it till it reaches a crossroads. Take the right passageway and head along it until it starts to slope down. At the bottom you'll find a room with three doors. Take the door to the left of the one you entered by, and then the first right. This will bring you to a second large room with one other exit.
Once you have the Worn Old Key, the exit can be easily reached by exiting the Throne Room via the other exit. It's just around the corner.  Yanshi Tunnels - located near the Advocate Spire near Yanshi, the Tunnels are a small looped dungeon. Those with lockpicking will be able to make it around easily, whilst those without are required to take the long route to the other side of the prison to reach the Drudge Slinker with they key.
Once you have the Worn Plain Key, you'll have to make your way back to the entrance to exit.  Yaraq Tunnels - Yaraq's tunnels are located on a bluff a fair ways south of town. This, and the chance of encountering some fairly nasty opponents on the way, may account for their low population. As a result, your ability to survive multiple Drudges is important here.
Through the door is a corridor and four small rooms in a square. The passage down is in the room diagonally opposite where you enter. Once you've gone down a level, those with lockpick can open the door to the right for a shortcut. Otherwise, exit the room via the other corridor, turn right in the next room, follow the corridor along until you have to turn right again. Head straight through a four-gated room, then turn right again when you have to. Go along the corridor until it turns right and you'll find yourself in the room where the lockpickers took the shortcut to. The room immediately next to has the passage down to the next level - take it and turn right at the T-junction.
 Samsur Manor House - on a cliff overlooking Samsur is the entrance to the Manor House. You'll need to make your way to the bottom to collect the key, but the journey isn't too arduous.
 Rithwic Crypt - located a short run up the river from Rithwic, the entrance to the Crypts is inside a double ring of standing stones. There may be some difficult creatures in the way, but they can usually be avoided.
 Holtburg Dungeon - the portal to this dungeon can be found in the wetlands near Holtburg. The lower levels are infested with Undead, but you only need to go down one level to find the key.

Once you enter the Grotto, you'll find yourself staring at a downward slope. This heads to a crossroads: to the left is the exit portal; to the right a room with a Gnawer Shreth; ahead lies a gate, usually open, to the dungeon proper.
Take this exit and follow the passageway through two doors, round a bend to the left and along to a small room with one door. Through this door, you'll quickly be heading upwards again, through a small room and finally into the Throne Room. Here, your ability to withstand several Drudge Prowlers at the same time will be paramount. If alone, your best bet it to hope there are others around, although this may mean you won't get first pick at the key. The Drudge Slinker 
appears much less frequently than the other inhabitants of this and nearby rooms.
Upon entering the Tunnels, you'll find yourself in a large room. Behind a gate is the exit, and there's a corridor running past the room. If you have lockpicking, go right down the corridor through the door through a small room and around the corner. You'll have to pick two gates to reach the diamond-shaped room where the Slinker will appear.
If you don't have lockpicking, take the left passageway and follow it around to another large room. Exit this and ignore the crossroads, you'll reach a T-junction. To the right is a large room with some Gnawer Shreths, to the left a different large room with some Drudges. Going either way will eventually allow you to reach a small room with three exits. If you took the Shreths, turn right, the Drudges, go straight ahead, and eventually you'll reach the diamond-shaped room.
The Drudge Slinker with the key will appear here.
From you entrance point, head straight ahead past a corridor to the right, through a door, straight over the crossroads and around a bend to another door. On the other side of the door is a wide curving room, with several Drudges. It may be best to just outrace them to the door at the other end.
This will bring you into a small room - take the door to the right and follow the thin corridor to the five-way junction. You want to take the corridor exactly 90 degrees to the left here. This will lead to four small rooms in an inverted T-shape. In the left room will be a Drudge Sneaker and a White Rat. In the top room, a Drudge Skulker, and in the room to the right is where the Drudge Slinker we want will appear.
Once you've taken the 
You'll enter into a large room. On the other side of the exit portal is the only exit. Take this, and then the first right. Take the left fork and got straight until you start heading down. The second level consists of several large open spaces. From where you enter, go up to the T-junction and turn left, then turn right at the next T-junction. This should bring you to a door to a small room. Enter, and then take the exit door. Follow the passageway all the way along. It'll take you down to the third level where you'll find a large room, and the Drudge Slinker with the key.
Once you have the 
The crypt is laid out in a cross pattern. You start on one side of the center of the X and need to make your way around to the other side of the crosspoint. You can go either left or right from the entrance, and you'll make your way along one leg of the X and back in to the center, then along a second leg before returning again to the center, this time next to a door. Beyond the door the corridor slopes down to the second level. If you turn left, then left again, you'll find a room with a 
Leave the entrance room by the sole exit. You'll come to a large room with two exits. Both lead to the same corridor, a small room and then a second large room. Take the exit to the left, which leads, via an inverted V shaped corridor, to another room. From there, take the exit directly opposite which leads down, and take the door on the right.
In this room two rats will appear, one of them carries the
