Offspring of Nightmares

Offspring of Nightmares walkthrough

The quest Offspring of Nightmares, for 17000 adena and Bone Gaiters. Start level: 15. Start location: the village of the dark elves. Start NPC: Magister Vlasty (Vlasty). No requirements. Not repeatable. Only for dark elves.

1. Dark Elf Village. Take the quest from Magister Vlasty.

   The quest for adena and little trousers is available from level 15 and is taken from Magister Vlasty, who stands in the temple of the village of the dark elves.

   

   

2. Swampland (teleport from Dark Elf Village). Hunt Lesser Dark Horror (lv. 15), Dark Horror (lv. 16) until you have: Perfect Skull.

   You have to hunt the mobs Lesser Dark Horror and Dark Horror, which live in the location Swampland. You run through the western exit from the village along the road, quite a long way; first zombies appear on the left, and then, in the mist, the needed mobs. Note that the bats flying around have variable aggression: they may attack or may not. So be careful there. Of course you can teleport to Swampland at once, but this was my first character, and I had to save adena on everything until I upgraded to top no-grade. A skull has to be knocked out of the mobs, and it has to be a whole one. But mostly cracked skulls will drop for you, which the NPC also accepts but pays pennies for, while for a whole skull 17k adena is given. The quest counts as done when you get a whole item; the last time I had to knock out 19 broken items before a whole one came. The drop of the items is good.

   

   

3. Dark Elf Village. Return to Magister Vlasty to complete the quest. Hand over: Perfect Skull. You receive: Bone Gaiters.

   After getting a whole skull you can return to the start NPC at once and get your reward, or you can run about some more, as broken skulls go on dropping from the mobs. Not much adena is given for them, but maybe you simply need to level. A couple of times a whole skull dropped for me from the first mob, and it was even a pity to leave at once: I had run so far, and there. Everybody should do the quest; it is only a pity that it is a one-time one.
