Notes

This is an unlimited repeatable quest.
This is a semi-access quest to unlock the different levels of the dungeon. At least one person in the group will need to have completed, or be actively completing, this quest in order for the group to access the second floor and basement. Furthermore, this quest is necessary in order to complete most of the quests in the dungeon since many of the examined-quests are found on the second level and basement.
If this quest has been completed once then all levels of the dungeon will be unlocked; there is no need to complete this quest a second time to access the second floor or dungeon.

Prerequisites

Completion of the quests:
Complete Alexa's orders before being offered the quest:
1. Speak with Alexa in The Chapel at ( -24, -1, 53 ) Copy/waypoint -24, -1, 53, after slaying the Inquisitor of Ulkorruuk.
2. Alexa will send you to the Game Room at ( 26, 0, 51 ) Copy/waypoint 26, 0, 51 to find a note left by the castle's architect. Start examining all possible objects in the room until you find the correct one with a hastily scrawled note stashed in it.
3. Examine the note. It will instruct you to interact with the wall-sconce at ( 22, -0, 67 ) Copy/waypoint 21.71, -0.07, 67.27, opening a secret passage.
4. Take the secret passage upstairs to Elise's Bedroom. Click the book on the nightstand at ( 46, 13, 85 ) Copy/waypoint 46, 13, 85. This will make Elise spawn on the middle walkway of the ramparts, important for later on.
5. Travel up the stairs from Elise's Bedroom and exit from either doorway onto the ramparts. Alexa will re-appear, depending on which exit you took, at either ( 61, 31, 45 ) Copy/waypoint 61, 31, 45 or ( 8, 30, 82 ) Copy/waypoint 8, 30, 82. Speak with her to receive the quest.

Steps

Travel around the ramparts and slay all six of the Everling sisters to obtain their lockets. Going clockwise:
- Enter the west tower and go down the stairs, click on dresser to spawn and kill Sheila Everling. ( 70, 13, 0 ) Copy/waypoint 70, 13, 0
  - When you kill Sheila, a door may open at ( 60, 14, 0 ) Copy/waypoint 60, 13.50, 0.43. If you wish, you can enter to collect quests from places like The Library. See Nektropos Castle Timeline.
- Go back up and continue around to the northwest tower, down the stairs, and kill Crysta's Handmaiden at ( 45, 14, -73 ) Copy/waypoint 45, 14, -73. Go near the bed to spawn dolls of Nyth. After killing them, click on the bed again to read her journal, which tells you to go to Melanie Everling's bedroom.
  - You can click on the bed from far enough away that the dolls of Nyth won't spawn, thereby saving them for later if you need them for a quest.
- Go back up and continue around to the northeast tower and down the stairs. Kill Melanie Everling and Crysta Everling. ( -51, 13, -84 ) Copy/waypoint -51, 13, -84
  - If you did not already do so, read Elise's Diary back in the southwest tower to spawn Elise on the roof.
- Go back up the stairs and turn onto the middle-rampart-walkway. Kill Elise Everling at ( -2, 30, -25 ) Copy/waypoint -2, 30, -25.
- Backtrack and continue clockwise around to the east tower. Go down the stairs to the bedroom and kill Jenni Everling at ( -70, 13, -5 ) Copy/waypoint -70, 13, -5.
- Head back up the stairs and continue to the southeast tower, at ( -54, 23, 87 ) Copy/waypoint -54, 23, 87. Once you are there, without stopping, descend through Deirdre's Bedroom into the basement below and kill Deirdre Everling at ( -46, 0, 80 ) Copy/waypoint -46, 0, 80. After Deirdre is killed, interacting with the wall-sconce at the end of the nearby hallway will open a secret door similar to the one used back in Sheila's basement. This door will take you back to the first level of the dungeon.
  - Archfiend Izzoroth will spawn in Deirdre's Bedroom as soon as the first player enters it. He won't aggro immediately, but nonetheless move quickly down to the basement. Although an epic-boss, Archfiend Izzoroth can still be killed by a small group or soloed by a self-mentored player since he is static and has no ranged abilities.
Your quest journal should now say: I need to find a way into the basement. Your journal must say this in order for this step to work. Enter Caretaker Room/Lord Everling's bedroom at ( -20, 13, -45 ) Copy/waypoint -20, 13, -45 and kill the Everling caretakers and the decaying corpse. Your quest journal will update.
Your journal should now read: I need to figure out what this key goes to. Enter the Quarters of Lord Everling at ( 18, 14, -52 ) Copy/waypoint 18, 14, -52 and examine the book on the pedestal This will spawn Guard Captain Ga'vin - kill him. Then, right-click the stand to the right of the bookcase ans select 'use'. You must right-click as left-clicking causes the character to just inspect the stand. If done correctly, the bookcase will swing open revealing the entrance to the bottom level of the dungeon.
Proceed down the steps, interact with the seemingly dead-end wall, and go speak with Alexa at ( -39, -13, 42 ) Copy/waypoint -39, -13, 42.
Backtrack to a wall sconce at ( -5, -14, -23 ) Copy/waypoint -5, -14, -23 and examine it. This will unlock a secret room to your immediate south. Enter and examine with the scroll on the desk at ( -12, -14, -12 ) Copy/waypoint -12, -14, -12, which enables you to interact with objects found in the basement.
Exit the secret room and use a wall-stone at ( -21, -13, -22 ) Copy/waypoint -21, -13, -22. Go through and confront Alexa at ( -19, -13, 8 ) Copy/waypoint -19, -13, 8. Upon her death, the quest will complete.

Rewards

After finishing this quest, on all future visits to Nektropos Castle, you will be able to:

Enter the second floor from any tower
Open the Quarters of Lord Everling
Open the passage to the basement
Open all secret doors in the basement

-== Steps ==
+==Rewards==
-NOTE: While not part of the quest itself, steps 1-4 must be completed before you can accept the quest.  Even if you partially complete steps 1-4 and zone out, you must reaccomplish the steps before you can talk to her in step 5.
-#You first meet Alexa in the Chapel Room (southeast corner of the ground floor). Alexa spawns after you slay the {{Monster|Priestess of Ulkorruuk|priestesses of Ulkorruuk}} and the {{Monster|Inquisitor of Ulkorruuk|}} in the chapel.  She tells you to meet her on the ramparts (up the stairs from Elise's Room).  You will see her there AFTER getting the note in the the next few steps.
-#She sends you to the Game Room {{loc|26|0|51}} to find a note left there by the architect. Click on the dartboard, card table, pool table and the two pool cue racks (on opposite sides of the room) until someone gets the note. Examine the note and it tells you there is a secret passage accessed by rotating one of the candle holders in the hallway right outside this room.{{loc|21.71|-0.07|67.27}}
-#Open the secret passage to the second floor {{loc|22|0|66}}. This is in the southwest corner of the ground floor, in the hallway by the door to the Games Room. The light fixture in the hallway can be selected and will open a secret passage.
-#Take the secret passage upstairs to Elise's Room. Click the book on the nightstand {{loc|46|13|85}}. This makes Elise spawn on the far side of the ramparts (this will be important later).
-#Walk upstairs and you will find Alexa a few feet north on the ramparts {{loc|61|31|45}}. Alexa speaks automatically when you approach. When her text is complete, accept the quest.
-#Travel around the ramparts and slay all 6 sisters. Going clockwise:
-#*Enter the west tower and go down the stairs, click on dresser to spawn and kill {{Named|Sheila Everling|}} (35^^^) {{loc|70|13|0}}.
-#:''Note: When you kill her, the door to the second floor from the room may open {{loc|60|13.50|0.43}}. You may wish to enter and collect quests from places like the Library if you did the access quests for those since they give credit for killing things later on like Nyth dolls.
-#*Go back up and continue around to the northwest tower and down the stairs to the bedroom, kill [[Crysta's Handmaiden]] {{loc|45|14|-73}}. Go near the bed to spawn the [[a doll of Nyth|dolls of Nyth]]. After killing them, click on the bed again to read her journal, which tells you to go to {{Named|Melanie Everling|}}s room.
-#*Go back up and continue around to the northeast tower and down the stairs to the bedroom, kill {{Named|Melanie Everling|}} (34^^) {{loc|-51|13|-84}} and {{Named|Crysta Everling|}} (34^^^).
-#*If you did not already do so, read Elise's diary in the southwest tower to spawn Elise on the roof. Now go back up the stairs and out to the middle of the roof cross-walkway, and kill {{Named|Elise Everling|}} (35^^^) {{loc|-2|30|-25}}.
-#*Backtrack from the roof cross-walkway and continue around to the east tower and down the stairs to the bedroom and kill {{Named|Jenni Everling|}} (34^^^) {{loc|-70|13|-5}}.
-#*Go back up the stairs and continue to the southeast tower. Once you are there, ''without stopping'' descend through Deirdre's bedroom {{loc|-54|23|87}} and into the basement below. Make sure you stop halfway down the stairs into the basement or the whole room will be on you. As it is you will be attacked by three Patchworks (level 34ish ^).
-#: '''''NOTE''': {{Named|Archfiend Izzoroth|}} (level 40 epic x2) will spawn when you enter the room. He is rooted in place, and you can avoid him by going downstairs immediately. If {{Named|Archfiend Izzoroth|}} attacks you, you will stay in combat if you do not kill him.  Leave combat by /yelling to break the encounter, or by traveling far enough away from him. Click the bedroom door to spawn him.''
-#*Go the rest of the way into the basement and kill {{Named|Deirdre Everling|}} (34^^^) {{loc|-46|0|80}}. There is a secret door at the end of the hall in the basement. When you use the sconce at the end of the hall it will open a door to your right. This will take you back to level 1 of the castle.
-#At this point, you can access the second floor from ''any'' of the towers. I suggest you go back up to the roof at this point, run to the north towers, and enter the 2nd floor from one of the north towers.
-#:''Note: Although the middle and southern towers connect to the second floor, there are locked doors blocking you from reaching the room for the next step. To unlock these doors:''
-#:*Complete the quest {{Quest|The Red Marble}} to unlock the library.
-#:*Complete the quest {{Quest|Visions of Hatred}} to unlock the balcony doors.
-#:*Or use the north towers as I suggested, to bypass the locked areas.

-##Enter The Caretaker's Room, the northeast room on the second floor {{Loc|-20|13|-45}}. Kill the {{Monster|Everling caretaker|Everling caretakers}} and the {{Monster|decaying corpse}}. Your quest journal will update.
-##Your journal should now read '''''I need to figure out what this key goes to.''''' The northwest room (the {{POI|Captain's Study}}) is now unlocked. Right-click the ''LEFT'' door to open it. Enter the room and read the book on the table. {{Named|Guard Captain Ga'vin|}} (level 34^^^) will spawn directly outside the door to the room. He will run in and attack you if the door is still open, otherwise you may have to open the door to engage him. Your quest journal will update and you can now 'use' the urn.
-#You Must Right-Click the urn beside the bookcase and select 'use' to open the secret passage to the basement (if you left click the urn it wont open). Follow the passage down to the wine cellar.  Take the basement passage southeast until you find Alexa (beware the undercon beetles here! They hit hard, do elemental spit damage, and assist each other). Talk to her.
-#Retrace your steps to the wine cellar.  At the last corner before the wine cellar, a light fixture is selectable {{Loc|-3.17|-13.48|-23.33|uid=}}. Click it to open a secret door to Everling's Research Laboratory.
-#Click the scroll at {{Loc|-12.3|-12.93|-11.96|uid=}}; this enables several secret panels throughout the basement. Click the candleabra to leave the room.
-#Find the secret door immediately east of Everling's Laboratory. {{loc|-20|-13|-20}} Open this secret door and head southeast to find Alexa in a room. {{loc|-19|-13|6}}
