#Hail the [[The Sage of Ages|Sage of Ages]] on the platform above the lava pit to start the quest.

# Once you've started the quest with the Sage, travel to the bottom of [[Solusek's Eye]] (sublevel 6, where translucent paths wind over the lava) and enter [[Nagafen's Lair]]. {{loc|-202|-617|-198}}.
 
#*''Note: to get to Nagafen's Lair you will need to take a lift to the third floor {{loc|-325|-595|187}} in the Giant Apartments. It may appear that you can only travel up to the second floor, so to get to the third floor open the door once you arrive at the second floor and hit the "up" option on the triangular button just inside the door. Then hustle back onto the lift since there is a short delay before the lift moves up to the third floor. There will be a one-way ledge at {{Loc|-103|-614|-292}} followed by the [[Oratorium of Thyr]]. (This instance is not required for the quest, but must be completed unless you have the assistance of someone with access to the deserted version.)''

# Return to [[The Sage of Ages]] in [[Antonica]] on the top floor of the [[Tower of the Oracles]] {{Loc|-1030|14|-618}}. If he disappears or is not there, leave and re-enter the tower again. He tells you that you need to find 26 translated runes of Elder Dragon to learn the language.
 
# Gather the 26 runes: If this is your first character (on a given account) completing this quest, you must gather the 26 runes from their locations in the world, as listed below.
 
#*If you have already completed this quest on at least one character, you can transfer the heirloom tablet of the runes from completing the quest (which can be re-purchased at the Shady Swashbuckler on the Nektulos docks) through the shared bank to satisfy this step.
 
# Once you have all 26, speak to [[The Sage of Ages]] again in Antonica at {{Loc|-1030|14|-618}} for your reward.

*''Sissthra and Rett'' Runes: You don't have to complete the access quest [[Summoning the Creator]] in order to unlock the door leading to the lower levels.

*The simplest entrance to the obelisk might be commonlands, take the griffin to Nektulos Station, and then head toward obelisk entrance, kill the shadowed men and you will see a purple glow, click it and you're in or druid or wiz portal to Antonica which is right by an entrance. If you're high level (perhaps on the swashie epic repercussions quest), you may want to pick up several quests, set your aa slider correctly and chrono to level 50 to grind out some xp while you're here, there is even an HQ to kill 100 nightbloods you can pick up in Rivervale (By Hook or by Crook).

  • Sissthra and Rett Runes: You don't have to complete the access quest Summoning the Creator in order to unlock the door leading to the lower levels. When you're in the central chamber and the purple glowing exit is behind you, then the way forward is level 1, the way to the right is level 2.
  • Voth Rune: You will either have to complete the access quest Entrance into the Obelisk or use the Feerrott zone-in which puts you just inside the Obelisk.
    • Note: You no longer need to complete any access quests once the zone is greyed out for your character. However, you no longer need to kill the Labyrinth Shadow and the Keeper of Nihility to reach level 3. EDIT: 7/1/18: At 110, I had to complete all unlock quests and kill named bosses to unlock all doors to get to Level 3.
  • The simplest entrance to the obelisk might be commonlands, take the griffin to Nektulos Station, and then head toward obelisk entrance, kill the shadowed men and you will see a purple glow, click it and you're in or druid or wiz portal to Antonica which is right by an entrance. If you're high level (perhaps on the swashie epic repercussions quest), you may want to pick up several quests, set your aa slider correctly and chrono to level 50 to grind out some xp while you're here, there is even an HQ to kill 100 nightbloods you can pick up in Rivervale (By Hook or by Crook).

  2. Enter the Thieves Way. The entrance to Freeport North is across the room. Find a click-able grate in the wall. All four portals to the different districts of Freeport are in this room, so make sure you enter North Freeport. ( -123, 1, 50 ) Copy
  3. Enter North Freeport. Follow the wall away from the sewer entrance until you see a ramp going upward to your right. Take the ramp. A guard stands at the bottom of the ramp.

  7. Get your rune from the book (green book standing on edge on the table) and port out.
