This is the fourth task in a series of five (the end result being your 68th level spell/tome). It begins with Kelliad in the Stoneroot Falls at location +705, -1830 (northeastern part of the zone).

You say, 'Hail, Kelliad'

Kelliad says 'The potion! It worked! Not bad for an old rogue don't ya say _____? Unfortunately I'll only have enough to suspend ye party with it once, so make haste. Once you find yourself behind the city walls you will need to [search the area] for Ilsuras.'

You say, 'Search the area?'

Kelliad says 'You've done some solid work up to this point _____. I feel that I can trust you enough to talk about him. Ilsuras is a good friend of mine. We joined the Shiliskin Scouts at the same time and had worked together on the same organization. Draygun, the emperor of Illsalin organized our battalion and sent us out to crush an [enemy] that we didn't know anything about.'

You say, 'What enemy?'

You have been assigned the task 'The Search For Ilsuras'.

You must breach the walls of Xill and search for Ilsuras.




  1. Seek out Meldrek to gain information about the drachnid city 0/1 (Stoneroot Falls)

    Head south along the shore where you'll find Meldrek at +210, -1845.

    You say, 'Hail, Meldrek'

    Meldrek says 'Kelliad told me to be expecting you, _____. We must make haste -- quickly! Do not be alarmed at your appearance once you have entered Xill -- your true form will merely be suspended for a matter of time. You must breach the walls of Xill and find Ilsuras. Move past the front gates and locate the entrance to the inner chambers within the city.'

    Your task 'The Search For Ilsuras' has been updated.
    The direction to the entry to your instanced zone(s) have been marked on your compass.


  2. Locate the entrance to the City of Xill 0/1 (Stoneroot Falls)

    Remember where you killed The Chamber Guardian in the previous task? That door is the entrance (-1000, 15, 75).


  3. Seek out Overseer Renok and follow him 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

    You'll see Overseer Renok near the zone-in. He will tell you to follow him (you're non-KOS to the zone right now).

    Overseer Renok says 'Halt, trooper. Your shift doesn't begin for some time now, where is it that you think you're heading?'

    Overseer Renok says 'As memory serves, Commander Hithrav has been expecting you. Follow me.'

    He'll start walking away regardless of whether or not you follow him. Once he reaches Commander Hithrav's chamber, this step updates and your disguise drops (making you KOS to everything).

    To get to them: Follow the path to the north, to the first "T" intersection, go left (west), follow that path until you see a room on the left (south), go in there and there's another room to the right (west), Commander Hithrav and Overseer Renok are standing right on top of each other.


  4. Kill Commander Hithrav and the Overseer 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

    Commander Hithrav says 'Foolish interloper! I shall dine upon you!'

    Overseer Renok says 'I shall wear your skin as a prize!'

    Hithrav hits for a max ~1,200. Renok is on par with trash as far as difficulty is concerned. They are not overly difficult, however you may wind up with drachnid adds from the other room so be prepared to deal with a few mobs at once.

    You have slain Commander Hithrav!
    Commander Hithrav's corpse explodes into a green mist of viscous fluids and body parts.

    You have slain Overseer Renok!
    Overseer Renok's corpse releases its last foul breath before settling to the earth.


  5. Search for Ilsuras 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

    You'll have to unlock two doors to get to Ilsuras. The first door is unlocked by clicking on a stone monolith in the underwater room. Directions from the Commander's room:

    - Head back out of the room into the corridor and turn left (west).
    - You'll notice that you can either go all the way around the arc, west turning north and turning back east, or you can "shortcut" through the center. Be advised that there are a bunch of mobs in that little shortcut.
    - If you want to go the safe (long) way, follow the path east and you'll then see a locked door on the left (north) and the path continues straight (east).
    - Continue clearing straight until all mobs in the room are dead. Keep in mind that there is quite a bit of trash in here, and the room is entirely underwater.
    - There is a monolith in the room (it is labelled on some maps).
    - Click on it to unlock the previously mentioned door. BEWARE! 3-4 drachnids will spawn and aggro you as soon as the monolith is clicked. You'll see the emote...


    A faint whisper in the distance catches your ear as a sudden sense of urgency washes over you..

    A faint humming from the monolith draws you closer.

    - Head through the door to find another intersection.
    - You can either continue straight (north) or turn right (east).
    - Keep going straight until you come to a big gate (it looks like a jail area). Clear everything there.
    - In one of the "cells" is what looks like an open chest. Click on this to get the emote "You feel an unexpected gust of wind fill the tunnel."
    - From there, turn around and head back south, then go left (east) at the intersection.
    - Clear east to the next intersection and turn right (south). Ilsuras will be in that room.


    In the room are Ilsuras, Prince Drillien and two drachnid protectors. As you step into the room...

    Your task 'The Search For Ilsuras' has been updated.

    Prince Drillien says 'Ilsuras, Ilsuras.. You weak, pathetic old fool. I lack the patience to deal with you any longer.'
    Ilsuras's corpse falls on its back, eyes wide open.
    Ilsuras died.

    Prince Drillien says 'And who do we have here? Ah yes, the small group of rebels that intend to walk into our home and throw the proverbial wrench into my unimaginably powerful Drachnid army?'

    Prince Drillien says 'You have been blinded by the quick work you made of Commander Hithrav -- Haha! Commander indeed. He was nothing but a pawn set in place to draw out potential threats such as yourselves.'

    Prince Drillien says 'Iknar and Vrek will be more than happy to escort you to your burial sites, unless that is, you choose to flee like a coward. I have some pressing matters to attend to, so if you will excuse me.'

    Protector Vrek hisses as he attacks, bloodlust in his eyes.
    Protector Iknar races toward you, glistening venom dripping from his fangs.


  6. Slay Protector Iknar 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

  7. Slay Protector Vrek 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

    The two protectors don't seem much more difficult than your typical trash mob. They are both mezzable.

    You have slain Protector Iknar!
    Protector Iknar's corpse stumbles backward before crumpling into a heap of fluids and limbs.

    You have slain Protector Vrek!
    Protector Vrek's corpse collapses as its torso splits from its abdomen.


  8. Take Ilsuras' dagger from Prince Drillien's chest 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

    Upon the protectors' deaths, "a musty chest" spawns. It contains a task item and one loot item.


  9. Search for a way to activate Drillien's hidden teleport ring 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

    Head back to the three way intersection between the Prince's room, Ilsuras' room and the path back out. Face to the south, and you'll notice three crystal balls on the wall. If you click the middle crystal ball, the teleportation ring will activate.


  10. Quickly gather within the teleportation stones to exit Xill without a trace 0/1 (Chambers of Xill)

    Invis yourself and quickly step into the middle of the portal that appears behind you.

    Your task 'The Search For Ilsuras' has been updated.

    LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
    You have entered Stoneroot Falls.


  11. Deliver 1 Ilsuras' Dagger of Contempt to Kelliad 0/1 (Stoneroot Falls)

    Kelliad will not be pleased to hear about the death of his elder friend, Ilsuras -- but perhaps a sense of closure in a time of need will empower him with the rage to finish the Drachnid army once and for all.




Among possible loot from "a musty chest":
Gilded Plate Bracer
Glossy Plate Gloves
Serpentscale Gloves
Supple Feederskin Boots
Taut Chain Chestplate

Among possible trash drops:
Copper Glow-in-the-Dark Compass Ring
Earring of Dimutiveness
Gold Glow-in-the-Dark Compass Ring (reported from Commander Hithrav, but may be a zonewide random)

Caster Reward:
Deathshed Priest Mantle

Melee Reward:
Gilded Shoulderpads



Completion of this task leads into the final task in the series, "The Rage of Kelliad".

Did the mission today. Some notes:

1. Kill all of the mobs in the monolith room and surrounding area. The doorway that we pulled to was just outside of the water from the monolith room (near the tunnel leading north). Otherwise you will get about 7 adds when the 2 spawn on your party at the above mentioned doorway.

2. The jail room on the map (westernmost Northern room)...After killing mobs, walk through the bars (minimal collision) and click the chest to get the unexpected gust of wind emote.

3. Once you find Illsuras, hail him. The Prince and 2 friends will not aggro...yet. Illsuras dies and there are about 3 emotes from the princes. The main one despawns and you fight the 2.

4. Confirmed that the other prince (Prince Vrek) is indeed mezzable.

5. The teleportation ring is in the room North of Illsuras. Big teleportation stones (like a druid circle) spawn once you click the middle sphere. So position your group on the land.

Many see-SoS mobs
# Feb 11 2006 at 6:05 PM Rating: Decent
It should also be noted that most of the see-invis mobs also see-SoS (sorry fellow rogues). I've only seen one mob through all of the clearing that saw invis, but not SoS. Just a word of caution.

There are no easy or hard options on the 68 missions, so all the rewards are from the only version of the mission.

Melee reward: Gilded Shoulderpads - Ac 18, str 13, dex 9, wis 13, int 13, hps 160, mana 150, end 150, svd 25, svp 25, regen 5, dam sheild 2.

we also received the prior mentioned boots in the chest Supple Feederskin Boots

over all the names in this mission were considerable easier than the boss in 68.3
We used the illusion to get to the area of the names. Then cleared the room behind the bosses. Then killed the two bosses. the overseer is mezzable. after that we headed around the horseshoe, cleared to the monolithe, two mobs spawned when our rogue found the latch for the door. We cleared to the jail then used a small illusion (shrink works also) to slip into the jail and move the box.

Solo'd this mission with my monk. takes 1 hour. Follow script till you get to commanders room, once there walk back one room , wait for wanderer to enter the room then leave , once it leaves, pacify the mob closest to the hallway and pull other drachnid to opposite corner,, beat it down,, wait for wanderer,, beat it down,, then last mob beat it down.
Overseer doesnt regen hps as fast as the Commander, What I did is make about 600 shurikens of tranquility. Throw them at him with autofire till he's right on me , hit Dragon fang then FD ,, let him walk back and almost reset, stand and repeat till he dies,, the Commander I used every disc , including whirlwind , all the tricks got him to 10% ,, from there ran around in a big circle in the room using dragon fang between melee'ing while i used heal potions to heal while running around,, the rest of the mission is super fast,, train to monolith click it , train out , go to cell click box , go to prince,, activate that part and FD till you loose aggro ,, then pacify one of the named guards, pull other to opposite wall and kill. Kill 2nd guard and loot the dagger. Train back out click ball to activate portal , run to portal FD , and bingo , done

Bracer

This plate bracer dropped from chest.

Cleric won it by default. Tremendous upgrade from blessed mithril bracer.
Some info
# Nov 27 2005 at 8:20 PM Rating: Good
My experience:

Time required for finishing: around 2 hours with a good group, maybe less.

trash mobs lvl 66-69 for most part. MPG level difficulty & exp. Most if not all see invis.

Immune to snare, fairly magic resistant, can be root parked, can be stunned.

Commander Hithrav is RSS level mob.

Protectors Iknar and Vrek are really easy mobs, easier than trash in the zone.

Ok to get the door open after clearing the big gate area. Theres a broken chest that is the spot to click. But the only way i found to get to the chest was to shrink to smallest possible and theres a spot on the right hand side of door small square you can squeeze thru.

(details sketchy) Someone clicks on something to get the emote "You feel an unexpected gust of wind fill the tunnel."


The second locked door (the one you get to by going east in step 5) is unlocked by clicking on a chest in one of the jail cells.
