The Gates of Cauldron Hollow
Recommended Level : 25
Coin Reward : None
Description :
This quest is given by Arqis in Nektulos. He is located near the bridge to Commonlands. Completing it gives you access to the raid zone: Cauldron Hollow.
The first order of duty is to find a book about Cauldron Hollow. This book can be found in a stack of books that is resting on a table at the Academy in North Freeport ( 10.92, -7, -128.22), or in the Three Towers in South Qeynos, opposite from Sage Indis Surion ( 707.70, 82.36, 127.08). Right click it and inspect it to get a list of books in this stack. Read the Vanishing of Cauldron Hollow book. You can also read the other book to open up another quest.
After reading the book you should return to Arqis in Nektulos Forest.
Arqis will refer you to Dalninia, the Fairy in Nektulos Forest. Dalninia can be found at -196, 0, -342 (the island in the Torrent River in Nektulos).
Dalninia will ask you to visit Queen Thayilia. Queen Thayilia is queen of the Asilian fairies in Nektulos Forest. She can be found at -499, 2, -292. She will ask you to slay Queen Dyleena, ruler of the rival Sullian fairies.
Queen Dyleena can be found near the bone lake (-742, 145, -2199), past the top of N'Marr's Ascent. Attacking Queen Dyleena (Level 29-Heroic) will summon multiple Sullian Royal Defenders(Level 28-Heroic) to her aid. **Warning** The defenders are not linked to Queen Dyleena **Warning**
After killing Queen Dyleena, go back and talk to Queen Thayilia, then Dalninia. Dalninia tells you you have to go and enter the Funeral Pyre (-960, 12, -715) and kill its 3 guardians (Knights of the Beacon). If you are doing this in a group then each group member must enter the Funeral Pyre to receive an update before killing the guardians or you will not all receive credit. The 3 guardians will spawn if you walk near the Pyre. Kill them, walk into the Pyre, and you'll be sent to go back and talk to Arqis.
Arqis tells you you must now light the Torches of Forewarning. To do this, you must visit the named treant Rulinthus who is quite near the Fire Guard (the wall that blocks lavastorm off at -47, 92, -2028), right at the north end of Nektulos (another way to put this is he is near the Obelisk of Lost Souls portal found in Nektulos). If you go to the Fire Guard then go west a little, you'll find a druid ring with Rulinthus standing in the middle (and a lot of aggro bats). Talk to him, and he sends you to kill Tilberbous (south of the Funeral Pyre at the southern end of the eastern river at -1051, -1.5, -581).
Tillberbous (level 29 heroic) is found in the East of Nektulos, fairly near the road. Follow the road through wisp territory, take the right fork, and you'll get to an area with a lot of skeletons. If you look South while heading along the road, you'll see him. After killing Tillerbous, you must go back to Rulinthus.
Rulinthus gives you the twig which can be used to light the torches of forewarning, and the Gates of Cauldron Hollow quest finishes. Examining and snapping the twig that Rulinthus gave you will trigger another Access Quest "Cauldron Hollow: Lighting the Torches of Forewarning".
Note: You are rewarded XP and AA XP for the completion of this quest.
