Steps[]

Ceremonial darslayer

a ceremonial darslayer

  1. Examine 'a dragon image' on each of the four columns of The Lair of Scale (the platform with the vault).
    • There is no actual image of a dragon and the exact location where you can click to examine is a bit buggy, so just move your mouse all over each side of the columns until you see it flash 'a dragon image'. The interaction point should be in the middle part of the column on the side facing away from the vault.
  2. Find four keys by killing the drakota on platforms within The Audience Chamber:
    • Copper Key: furywing drakota ( 46, 89, 250 ) Copy
    • Silver Key: furywing drakota ( -29, 89, 248 ) Copy
    • Black Key: furywing drakota ( -59, 89, 279 ) Copy
    • Gold Key: Koturah ( 25, 89, 255 ) Copy
      • The furywing drakota placeholder for Koturah will NOT give the update for this quest. Respawn seems to be about 20 minutes.
  3. Return and examine the vault at ( 11, 121, 320 ) Copy. You are unable to turn the lock, but there is something written on the vault:
    "When the staves of the yore scales meet the vortex of scaleborn, when the four arms are raised, only then shall the maw of fortune release itself."
    • This used to require the player to speak Draconic, but this requirement has since been removed.
  4. Search around the dungeon for fifteen dragon staves, also called 'ceremonial darslayers'. Like collectibles, they have a set amount of charges and then they despawn. If this happens, wait about 5 minutes and they will respawn. They are spread throughout the entire Sanctum:
    1. Ready Room ( 196, 158, -57 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    2. The Oratorium ( -12, 136, 90 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI

    7. Fount of Awakening ( -57, 78, 180 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    8. Hall of Rites ( 8, 55, -46 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    9. Pool of Spirits ( 157, 41, 144 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI (in the water)
    10. Pool of Spirits ( 149, 41, 143 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI (in the water)
    11. The Gorgs' Pit ( -14, 58, 303 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    12. The Gorgs' Pit ( 36, 58, 302 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    13. Ledge above the entrance/exit to The Gorgs' Pit ( -13, 74, 290 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    14. Ledge above the entrance/exit to The Gorgs' Pit ( 29, 74, 290 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    15. Ledge above the entrance/exit to The Gorgs' Pit ( 12, 74, 290 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
      • If the above three locations have you going in circles, go to ( 10, 87, 287 ) Copy and look down to get a visual on the ledge.
  5. Run over the Scaleborn vortexes throughout the dungeon and you will automatically place a dragon staff at it. Scaleborn vortexes are the snail-shell-shaped symbols with purple draconic lettering located on the ground:
    1. Mouth of the Sanctum ( -16, 158, -67 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    2. Mouth of the Sanctum ( 38, 158, -67 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI

    4. Chamber of Animation ( -148, 134, 54 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    5. Chamber of Animation ( -148, 134, 54 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    6. Chamber of Animation ( -148, 134, 54 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    7. Hall of Rites ( -19, 65, -2 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    8. Hall of Rites ( 29, 65, 13 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI
    9. Room of Recovery ( -145, 41, -157 ) Copy EQ2MAP POI

    15. The Audience Chamber ( 33, 86, 377 ) Copy
  6. Inspect the column at the middle of the Gorgs' Pit. ( 13, 55, 321 ) Copy
  7. Within 3-minutes, click four polychromatic (red) blocks found along all three climbable walls of the Gorgs' Pit (one on the east wall, one on the west wall, and two on the south wall).
    • If you have trouble seeing the red blocks (balanced or lower settings may have trouble), go to Options --> Peformance --> Detail Range --> and set it as high as possible.
    • The blocks are called 'loose blocks', you can click them from relatively far away, and they are always in the same place.
  8. Within 3-minutes, click four gold blocks found along the south climbable wall.
  9. Within 3-minutes, click flour green blocks found along the east climbable wall.
  10. Within 3-minutes, click flour yellow blocks found along the west climbable wall.
  11. Examine the vault again in The Lair of Scale ( 11, 121, 320 ) Copy. Upon completion you will be ambushed by three amygdalans.
