Cragbeast Queen mask quest

[Grabbit the Assassin]

Natimbi Just came back up froma brief patch and the dwarf who gives the the quest has more to say. He talks about a friend by the name of Reyna.

I'm not familiar with that NPC, but it's a place to start.

[Santril]

Reyna is a part of the Breakdown in Communications quest...but here's the problem:

She's dead!

Though if you want to follow up on this lead, head to Riwwi. That's the zone she's involved with. Mobs there (any mob) randomly drops "Reyna's Bloody Earring". Again, this is used in the BiC, but the dwarf may accept it for something.

If you wish to read more on Reyna's role in GoD, read the Riwwi section of the following:

[Santril]

Double posts are the debil. :angry

[aspit]

Probably part of the reyna event in riwwi.

Turlini fishes a jagged key from the sack and tries it on his manacles. They unlock with a loud snap and slide off his wrists. His expression melts into simultaneous shock and elation. 'YES! We will be freed. Very soon now, these chains will bind my people no longer! And as for you, Xxxxx, you will become a legend among my people.'

Turlini can barely contain his excitement. 'This is wonderful news, friend. Freedom is within our grasp! The only problem remaining is the ever-present guards. They are always watching over us. We would need a monumental distraction to buy enough time for me to release everyone. Which is where you come in. One of your kind who goes by the name of Reyna has been taken to the arena and has been tortured daily in front of the Muramite masses. If you were to create enough of a ruckus in the arena trying to free her I think we could make our escape.'

The Great diversion: Freeing Reyna
Once you have the flag from Turlini, you can start a series of increasingly difficult fights in the Coliseum.

Talk to an enslaved yunjo in the Coliseum:

You say, 'Hail, an enslaved yunjo'

an enslaved yunjo says 'It's you! The champion everyone has spoken of! Have you come to defy the Muramites?'

You say, 'I have come to defy the Muramites'

an enslaved yunjo shouts 'Xxxxx defies you! Do you hear me? Xxxxx defies you and will destroy your kind!'

An officiator shouts, 'We'll see how defiant Xxxxx is after they have been crushed for our amusement. Send in one of our trained hynids!'

an enslaved yunjo says 'Stand fast and prepare for a fight! They're sending a bloodthirsty beast into the arena to kill you as we speak. If you defeat it, place the head in this sack as proof and return it to Turlini. He is the leader of the resistance and may be able to assist you for helping us.'


You will receive a bag, typicalled named Satchel of the xxxth battle (going from first to tenth). This will also trigger one or several mobs coming into the Coliseum. Kill the mob(s), loot its/their head(s), and place them into the bag to combine into a Blood-Soaked Satchel (10 different versions, one for each battle). Turn in the bag to Turlini and you will get an upgraded necklace, which you can then turn in to the slaves for the next phase.

The main delay consists of going back and forth between the arena and Turlini's cell, or waiting for Turlini to respawn after a hand-in. Turlini despawns about 15s after getting one of the Blood-soaked Satchels, which means that multiple people can trigger their own encounter one after the other, then the entire group take a trip to Turlini to advance, and then go back for the next set of encounters.

Each encounter is a single group event. Anyone who aggros from the mob outside of the group that did the turn-in causes the Officiators to call it unfair, and they get ported to the zone line.

There are 10 successive encounters:

Wave Details Heads Reward
1 easy Frothing Hynid's Head Yunjo's Braided Cord
2 easy Gibbering Hynid's Head Yunjo's Sea Kelp Cord
3 easy High Hill Cragbeast's Head
Handler Bvekh's Head Yunjo's Woven Twine Cord
4 easy Pfaaxle's Head Yunjo's Plaited Hynid-Fur Cord
5 easy Manipulated Stoneworker's Head Yunjo's Hynid Fang Cord
6 easy Misguided Stoneworker's Head
Controlled Earthmover's Head Pressed Leather Yunjo Sash
7 3 mobs (1 yellow, 2 blue cons) Directed Destroyer's Head
Dominated Bonecrusher's Head
Pixtt Master Hviqu's Head Spiked Leather Yunjo Sash
8 3 mobs (even con) Dvax's Head
Qiz's Head
Xnoz's Head Woven Bone Yunjo Sash
9 1 mob (yellow) Kizki the Slayer's Head Silvery Mesh Yunjo Sash
10 6 mobs (3 unmezable dogs, 3 mezable aneuks) Hexxt Nheki's Head
Hexxt Lixx's Head
Hexxt Skazm's Head
Pixtt Mik's Head
Pixtt Khark's Head
Pixtt Kirq's Head Sash of the Yunjo's Champion

If you fail at one stage, you have to restart from wave 1 the series of events.

The finale
After you've finished the diversion, Turlini has some good news and bad news.

You have received a character flag!

Turlini shouts with joy. 'Aha, you've done it! Thanks to your distractions in the coliseum, the Muramite legion is engulfed in utter chaos. We will take this opportunity to escape. You have saved us all. Oh, I almost forgot! Before I go, take this as a final gift from the Yunjo. It holds much strength, just as you do. Unfortunately I have bad news. Something I could not tell you until now. Reyna passed on a few days ago. Her last request was that I give this to someone who had proven his or her worth. You have more than done that. I wish there were more I could do, but we are masters of shaping stone not life.

Turlini says 'I can't wait to be reunited with my family! Let's get out of this place.'

You get the final reward of the Arena diversion outlined above, and Reyna's Scout Report. Hand in the report to Taminoa.

Taminoa Bialu says 'Reyna was a skilled scout who had spent many years honing her abilities. Learning that she died so horribly upsets the stomach, but she died trying to help others. Yes . . . that's what we should focus on. This report you have returned will be a great help to us and this reward should help you as well. It was wrapped in the report and appears to be a gem fragment that may fit into the stone Fezbin gave you. Now to the rest of the city. Hopefully we can prevent our other scouts from suffering the same fate as Reyna.'

You have successfully completed a section of the Taelosian City.


Reward: A Glowing Gem Shard

Combined with A Shiny Socketed Crystal, yields A Glowing Socketed Crystal

[aspit]

Damn double posts..maybe talk to Taminoa Bialu in abysmal also as he is the one who tells you about reyna when you say what is riwwi.

[Lisalee]

TBH I dont think such a big thing has to be done to do this quest...the other CBQ quests are rather simple..and so are this i bet. I tried talking to the dorf today after update and here is what i saw:

[Thu May 27 13:13:39 2004] Mudarik Aletipper says 'What's this, Lisalee? A chunk of oddly shaped flesh that ye recovered from the Cragbeast Queen? It almost looks like a face, if ye squint your eyes and turn yer head like so. An ugly face at that. Hmph. Maybe there's something to it that I'm not seein'. Hrmph, [reminds me]. . .'
[Thu May 27 13:13:46 2004] You say, 'reminds you'
[Thu May 27 13:13:51 2004] Mudarik Aletipper shrugs. 'Well, ye see. There was this friend a' mine, goes by the name of Reyna. She was always blabbin' on and on about how wayward spirits see the world differently, sayin' they have mysterious ways of seein' things that the living cannot. Never quite understood what she was on about. Bunch of blooming balderdash if ye ask me.'

Then I went to the NPC named Indurmer as well in Natimbi. Its an Undead NPC up in the hills and hailed him.

[Thu May 27 13:15:13 2004] You say, 'Hail, Indurmer'
[Thu May 27 13:15:13 2004] Indurmer squints at you and his face takes on an unusual expression. 'That's strange. The misshapen lump of flesh you carry with you is . . . Err, this doesn't make any sense. I don't know who you are but I'd appreciate it if you left me alone and took your strange trinkets with you!'

I tried many things and frases on Indurmer (giving him the flesh and so on) but he kept silent..Im open for sugestions as well as ill post if i do progress! :)

[chrys schezar]

if you say "dead" to indurmer he attacks you, drops nothing

[aspit]

try turning this into the first quest npc..its a trinket and also has to do with reyna.

http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=67510

Fairly common drop in riwwi off trash.

[torvrogue]

I thought the idea behind making all her drops quests was so you'd have to be Kod'Taz and beyond flagged to finish it?

So an item from Riwwi doesn't sound too likely.

[Lisalee]

torvrogue has a point...I am not trying to solve the quest as much as making the NPC's give me hints what to collect in yxxta and or Uqua.

[Ruldar]

Visage of the Brute (http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=52120) just showed up in lucy.

[Lisalee]

Neat the quest is working...but it riddles me how it was completed :)

[Wyglaf77]

i just saw a link to visage in game, $$. would be nice upgrade from my fennin mask

[Dubb]

Yeah, I want one now... just got to figure out how I'll maintain 250 worn atk once I get Nodnol's gloves and the mask, that's -60atk right there, and I'm about to lose another 20atk by finishing cragbeast queen belt quest probably tonight.

[Aluaeia]

Tribute!!!!1!1!!

[Dubb]

I'm pretty sure you were 'j0king!!11!1one!' but in all serious, if a Time+ rogue needs to pile on the ATK via tribute just to reach the worn cap, that's a problem with itemization. I've been capped for a long time now. I was capped with Bloodbath and several pieces of Luclin gear. Yet with each GoD upgrade and impending future GoD upgrades, I lose more and more. SOE, are you listening? Slap some ATK on this mask... and some more on the Nodnol's gaunts while you're at it.

[Grabbit the Assassin]

I'm really disappointed in the mask personally.

190 hp when all the other melee usable items are 220+.

Sure the accuracy is nice, and the illusion is kinda fun but it just didn't impress me like I thought it would.

The quest is a lot more involved than the others, so I guess I expected somehting a little bit better.

I'd be satisfied if it was given aura, and 30-40 more hp.

[Aluaeia]

Yeah, I was joking about tribute.

[ibsen]

The dwarf mentions a wayward spirit. Isn't there a wayward spirit in Uqua in that room before the Fury and Rage halls? Perhaps you need to consult that NPC. Having to go to Uqua would also be consistent with the fact other items from the Queen require something from Uqua. Just a thought for you Rogues and Bards.

[Dubb]

There are a few ghost things in Uqua that I can think of (behemoth room, Spectre of Rage/Fury room, and at Barxt's door). If no new details surface by the next time we're there, I'll try to remind our rogue who has the quest item to try talking to those ghost thingies.

There's a bard on I believe Vazaelle server who has the mask now, but they aren't sharing info.

[Grabbit the Assassin]

Mask is getting an upgrade. =)

[Hrothgarr]

Any leads on this quest yet? Been trying all I can and I am stumped. I am afraid its goan need something from Uqua and God only knows when my guild will be going again.

Hrothgarr Bladestorm

[Lisalee]

same problem here mate..Runing real low on ideas here

[Hrothgarr]

SPOILER SPACE for those that don’t want to be spoiled!!!!!!!


















Solved this quest today on Drinal server after getting a great tip from a very cool bard on Bertox named Naxis, send him a tell to say thanks for the tip.

After you get the Mishapen Cragbeast Flesh from the Cragbeast Queen in Natimbi, you need to head over to Yxtta and open the riddle door near the golems. At 4am in the morning near the Primal Reptile a Ghost will spawn named Caridwi. (Loc is –242, -2115) Hail her and follow the text and hand in your Misshapen Cragbeast Flesh for the Visage of the Brute. (nothing else is required but to hand it in) The mob will despawn at 6am, so you need to be there at the right time to find her. I honestly have no idea how I would have ever found this out without a tip, since I cant track and there was really no info given to direct you to that location. Special thanks to my guild mate Courtinae who helped me and got her mask today too. I hope everyone enjoys their new toy!

[Lisalee]

God damn :) And I have been trying to get to that npc for 2 days now :)

[Grabbit the Assassin]

Great work. =)

[chrys schezar]

trying to get people to raid primals is worse than pulling teeth

[Naxis]

If your guild doesn't want to do primals, just work on riddles by yourself until you get the door open. Nothing sees invis on the way to Caridwi except named, and they're not really on the way.

[Dubb]

Adding on to Naxis' last post, actually sometimes things see invis. Occasionally some see SoS as well, so /con stuff.

edit: and bring a gate potion

[Cutebutton]

Thanks for the info on solving this...

Adding some more to the post by Naxis, the static spawns don't see through SoS, but the wanderers can. So you only need to con the wandering ones

[Wyglaf77]

$$ great job guys, now if only i could get my guild to kill the cragbeast...

[Naxis]

I used regular invis the whole way to caridwi without a problem, even from wanderers.

[Dubb]

I wouldn't have posted that if I hadn't personally seen a few different wanderers previously who could see me through SoS. =p

With this info, a guildmate was able to complete his ogre mask yesterday. On his behalf, and for information's sake - thanks guys.

[chrys schezar]

i figure i'd knock out 2 birds with 1 stone, being that primals would drop pages for the communications quest, pulling teeth i tell ya =)

[Kahlesjuggalo]

Just wondering if any flags are needed to get to the turn in mob's zone,i havent had to much exp with the GoD zones.





Kahles Juggalo 65 Rogue MT

[Dubb]

Yes, you need to be Kod`Taz flagged in order to pass through Kod`Taz and get to Yxxta.

[Kahlesjuggalo]

ok thanks :beatup

[Dubb]

Mask was upgraded on the 16th patch. <3

I will definitely be asking for one now.

[Wang]

If your guild doesn't want to do primals, just work on riddles by yourself until you get the door open. Nothing sees invis on the way to Caridwi except named, and they're not really on the way.

Rezz post but.....

Seems like there is a door or a wall that I can not pass. It is actually before the red lines on map, which seem to indicate a locked path. The map be off.

What riddles open this? I searched allak but no quest to open doors could be found. God is unlocked but I think keys are not unlocked, just zones, so I may still need to do some quest.

[Wang]

There are six Rooms guarded by stonegolems in the zone.
Walk into any hut. Click the left statue. You will get one of the 36 riddles listed above. Each statue has three riddles for which it is the answer. So, for instance, if you get the riddle: "I am 6 under noon" the answer is 3. You click on the statue that corresponds to three in our diagram (the left statue in the second hut on the left). Detheb listed all of the riddles under the number that answers them.

1
- Beginning new, the months refreshed, they youngest of us, I am but a babe

- I am second of us, but not the least, it is time that tells all, i hear it next (not sure exactly)

3
- Read your lodestone and you will find that I am sinister of the sunrise, but only just.
- I am 6 under noon.
- Trushor's servant of tail and fin, I am their sign. Seek me within.

4
- If time flies, add are to thee then move on to me.
- Peril I am not, Remove the second in me and give me the first in aid, and with but little confusion I can be found
- Where your magnet points I will not be found. Seek me just beyond the sunrise.

5
- As each month passes, so I may
- If my clock had your digits, I would be this.
- I can bear a load of any stone, but have only one eye to see. Remove the of the majority of the eye from what you see.

6
- You may find yourself in a pinch, should you fail to sea my sign.
- You lay arrow straight, your face to face, find me at your right foot.

7
- Spin you compass as you will, I shall be the rear still
- Half past six, there are no tricks
- I am the month of a pair and hand.

8
- My time is at the end of light and the edge of night
- If our schedules match, you shall find me in the most dignified company.
- Be certain of your heading and make for the place twixt the sunset and the tail of the lodestone

- My aged father is the sun, my least cousin the lodestone
- I am eight in name, but not in sequence

11
- When the needle is lessened by a triple net of degrees you shall find me.
- It is your style and your gnomon that will help you find me. I am the hour of the sum of the constituents of relative term of terms.
- I am the month that brings most of somthing new and a large portion of reminiscences

12
- If you are disarmed, watch your blade fall. Where it leads will answer all.
- I come last and in number am the greatest, yet when I have passed and all of my kind haven ended, I return in part in the number that follows me
- When brightest day and darkest night are indistinguishable



Here is how Yxtta riddles work:

When you zone in on Primals side, there is a clearing with big stone guys in the middle, and 6 huts (each guarded by little stone guys.) Inside each hut there is a left statue and a right statue, for a total of 12 statues. Starting with the left statue in the first hut on your left, number them 1-12 so that:

Move clockwise around the circle

Hut 1 (first on left)
left statue = 1
right statue =2

Hut 2
left statue = 3
right statue =4

Hut 3 (the furthest hut on the left side)
left statue = 5
right statue =6

hut 4 (the furthest hut on the right side)
left statue = 7
right statue = 8

hut 5
left statue = 9
right statue = 10

hut 6 (the nearest hut on the right side)
left statue =11
right statue = 12



Oh, and don't click on the wrong statues when youre answering the riddles.
