Go through secret doors to get up to level 3 from the basement. You will come up into the bookshelf in the captain's room. Go to the room to the right (Caretaker room) and inspect the fireplace for a key. After you loot the key 3 embers will spawn along with the named, Coaltergeist. |

What does this information mean?
This zone is a reverse of the original Nektropos Castle, with all new encounters, designed for a full group of level 70 characters. You enter through the crypt in Nektulos Forest at (-1657, 123, -2069) and exit through the front door.
Generally mobs in the zone do not respawn with 3 exceptions: Hall roaming vortexes (4 total in zone) and 2 crumbling walls in the ramp / outside area. The last exception to this is in the Library. The books will spawn at a rate of 1 per 8-10 seconds in the room. They are all 68-72^^. So dont stay in there longer than needed or they will add up.
Go through secret doors to get up to level 3 from the basement. You will come up into the bookshelf in the captain's room. Go to the room to the right (Caretaker room) and inspect the fireplace for a key. After you loot the key 3 embers will spawn along with the named, Coaltergeist.
Make your way to Melanie Everling's room. Complete the mini quest Cleaning Melanie's Room.
Now go upstairs (Nektopos level 3) and make your way over to the other side. It will bring you down into Sheila's room. Kill everything in the various rooms, but what you really need to do is to get to Diedre's room where you can get into the main level of the castle (lvl 1). Once you are there it is simple. Kill to the main courtyard - once you kill the 3 spawns in courtyard about 6 named will pop (all 70^). You will get a chest - hail Everling at the end for a status reduction statue for your house (200 status I believe).
There is an epic 2x golem in this zone you can spawn (lvl 72 2x epic). We took him out with 4 people (79 swash, 79 warden, 75 dirge, 71 wizard) so its easy. But no status, no AA for the kill, a Treasured Chest as a drop... btw, all named dropped Treasured except final kill leaving the zone. The loot is terrible and the mobs mostly come in groups of 2x ^^^ plus 2x ^^'s or worse - often 4 ^^^ Heroics at a time. Most mobs are lvl 68 to 72 and hit fairly hard for their level.
There are many traps in the zone. To prevent damage, temporarily disarm them by right clicking the trap and choosing Disarm. There are three traps in the Swine Lord's area that can kill you quickly if you neglect to do this!
There is also a Tome collection quest for the book My True Beloved. The pages can be found throughout the zone, and the book itself (also part of the collection) is in a fireplace on the 2nd floor.
Speaking to Rikantus Everling near exit (old entrance) will give you the book Beyond the Rune and The Idol of Everling (unless you already have it from completing the quest A Portrait of Destiny.
After completing this instance, Antiquitor Kantus Mor'Tael in Maj'Dul may wish to speak with you! (You must have completed the quest A Portrait of Destiny and have the Idol of Everling in you inventory before Mor'Tael will tell you anything of interest)
Notes
