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.

I am currently conducting research on the undead, and need someone to fetch some materials for me. But I'm not sure how much a foreign race like yourself would understand about the ingredients used in black magic ... Yes, I think it would be best to ask someone from our race.

(Quest for Dark Elven characters.)

These days, I am most interested in the spirit called the Dark Horror, and I am currently researching this strange undead. But since I don't have any samples from the Dark Horror, my research is mostly on hold. Sometime soon, I may ask you to obtain some Dark Horror bones for me.

(Only Dark Elf characters above level 15 can take on this quest.)

I am currently studying dark horrors. These dark horrors are different in many ways from normal undead creatures. I think that perhaps dark horrors are monsters created by Shilen from the nightmares of the ancient ones, and are the personification of the most basic horrors ever known. The scythe that a dark horror holds represents death, and the sharp fangs like those found on evil creatures may have been objects of fear for the ancient ones ...

I plan to conduct more actual tests, to prove my scientific theory. For this, I'm going to need a model. How about it, do you think you can get me a skull of a dark horror? You seem more than capable of handling this request with no difficulties ...?

  • Say you will do the favor

To find these dark horrors, you should go to the swamp area southwest of the village.

But it may be hard to find a perfect, whole skull. In most cases, when a dark horror dies, the power of the black magic that supports its life is scattered, and the bones are shattered. So, it may be difficult to find a Perfect Skull.

But even broken skulls are helpful to my research, and if you bring me broken skulls along with a Perfect Skull, I will reward you handsomely for your efforts, do not worry. However, I cannot base my studies on Cracked Skulls alone, and so I will not reward you until you bring me a Perfect Skull. If you are ready, you should be on your way now.

Haven't you been able to obtain the skulls yet? Well, there's no need to rush.

I repeat, to find the dark horrors, go to the swamp area that is southwest of the village. Slay the dark horrors and bring the skulls back to me. It doesn't matter if they are cracked. But you must bring me at least one Perfect Skull. If not, I cannot give you any reward.

Hmm ... This is without a doubt the skull of a dark horror. But I cannot perform my spell with Cracked Skulls alone. Bring me an uncracked, whole skull. Then I will pay you for the Perfect Skull, along with any Cracked Skulls you may bring me.

Ho, this is the whole, Perfect Skull of a dark horror ... Somehow, it looks similar to Elven skulls ... Hmmm ... interesting ...?

Wait ...! It can't be ...

Here, take the payment I have promised you. Now go away. Never speak of this again. You must promise me. Do you understand?

  • Ask what is wrong

You are still young and probably do not know, but actually, fifty years ago a group of Dark Elves rose up in opposition to Tetrarch Thifiell. But one day, they all just disappeared.

After a long investigation, it was concluded that they had been slain by the Elves of light at that time ... But a few of my comrades and I questioned the results of that investigation ...

Do not ask any more! You might also be put into danger. I plan to not get myself involved deeply in this matter either. Here, take your reward and forget about this incident.
