Bird in a Cage

Bird in a Cage walkthrough

The quest that once opened Hellbound for a whole server, for characters of level 78 and higher. Kanis asks you to free a witch held under the Isle of Prayer, and the road to her runs through the Crystal Caverns: three wings with a raid boss in each and the warden Baylor behind them. It is party content from the first step to the last.

The task and the supplies

1. Isle of Prayer. Take the quest from Kanis.

   He stands in the south of the island. Talk until he gives Echo Crystal of Free Thought: the witch answers only to its owner.

   

   

2. The pass. Every member needs Contaminated Crystal, the reward of the Dark Cloud Mansion, a small instance for two players with a 30-minute timer. Clear it and in the last room pick the three right monsters out of seven: the exit portal appears and the crystal is added on the way out.

3. The keys. Rignos in the south-east of the island starts a timed race: visit four houses and take a Race Stamp from the monster in the middle of each. Four stamps are exchanged for three Secret Key, which open the secret rooms of the Emerald Square.

4. Corals and fragments. Eva's Gift Box in the lake in the middle of the island drop Red Coral and Crystal Fragment, but only while the Kiss of Eva buff is on you. Every member needs a coral for the Steam Corridor, and the party needs 20–30 fragments for the Coral Garden.

5. Dragon scales. In the north of the island kill Dark Water Dragon. A blue dragon appears in its place with slowly draining health: keep it alive for about five minutes and it leaves Water Dragon Scale or Water Dragon Claw. They cannot be traded, so everyone farms them personally.

Three wings of the Crystal Caverns

6. The entrance is at the bottom of the lake in the middle of the island. In the first room the party leader tells the guide which way to go: the Coral Garden, or the corridor that splits into the Emerald Square on the left and the Steam Corridor on the right.

7. Crystal Caverns. Kill Darnel (lv. 81) to get: Blue Crystal.

   Emerald Square, the easiest wing. Four secret rooms with fat mini-bosses come first: a trap by the first door has to be disarmed, the others are opened by the member who carries the keys, and he stays outside while the rest clear the room. When all four are dead, the boss room opens.

   

   

8. Kill Kechi (lv. 82) to get: Red Crystal.

   Steam Corridor, the hardest wing. Besides the general 90 minutes every room has a timer of its own. Clear a room, heal one of the portals that appear until the others vanish, and the leader moves the party on. The boss has little health, but at every quarter of it a pack of angry monsters runs in.

   

   

9. Kill Tears (lv. 83) to get: Clear Crystal.

   Coral Garden. The monsters here hit as hard as the mini-bosses of the first wing, so keep every defensive buff up. At 10% of her health the boss raises an absolute defence: all members target her and use Water Dragon Scale at the same moment, otherwise the shield stays.

   

The warden and the witch

10. Kill Baylor (lv. 83).

    With all three crystals the leader chooses the way to the warden in the portal that appears after a wing boss. He is far stronger than the three before him, with heavy area skills and self-buffs.

    

    

11. Talk to Parme. You receive: Parme's Letter.

    She takes the echo crystal, writes a letter and sends you out of the cave.

12. Isle of Prayer. Return to Kanis to complete the quest. Hand over: Parme's Letter.
