This is the second group task in a series of three in which corruption among some Elddar elves is exposed. Completing this series of tasks will allow you to request the Corruption of Ro raid.

Find Shalowen the Pure in Elddar Forest at location -5, -127.

You say, 'Hail, Shalowen the Pure'

Shalowen the Pure says 'I have been studying this figurine _____ and have found something pretty interesting. The figurine was made for a priest named Nalderin. With the five stones of corruption placed inside them the priest could use it to corrupt the minds of others. If you are up to it, I would like it if you would seek out this [Priest Nalderin] for me.'

You say, 'Priest Nalderin?'

Shalowen the Pure says 'You will need to return to the shrine. Once you're in there search for him and question him about where he got the figurine. Do be on your way though _____. We are dealing with a powerful force.'

You have been assigned the task 'Questioning the Priest'.

After observing the Elddar and returning the figurine of Ro to Shalowen, he has discovered that the figurine was given to a priest named Nalderin. Shalowen has requested that you return to the shrine and question Nalderin about the figurine and why it was created for him.

Tunare's Shrine is the large tree in Elddar Forest (to the south of the Ruins of Takish-Hiz zone).



Search for Elder Priest Nalderin 0/1 (Tunare's Shrine)

Confront the elder priest for answers about the corrupted elves 0/1 (Tunare's Shrine)

Recover the sealed scroll from Nalderin 0/1 (Tunare's Shrine)

Return the sealed scroll to Shalowen 0/1 (The Elddar Forest)



Unlike in task 1, MOBs are aggro on zoning in. Elder Priest Nalderin is found on the fourth level up from the zone in. Converse with him and he will then attack, warping down one level when his HP drops to 80%. Rinse and repeat.. interrogating at each level and fighting until he warps.

You say, 'Hail, Elder Priest Nalderin'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'So you are the fools that Shalowen has been sending to do the work that he was to weak to do himself. Shalowen has sent others before you and they have all [failed] so why do you think that this will be any different?'

You say, 'Who failed?'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'Yes they have all failed to retrieve this [information] that Shalowen is trying to get. I don't plan on giving it to you fools either.'

You say, 'What information?'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'You will die before you get any information from me!'

Elder Priest Nalderin casts a healing aura of protection then joins the battle.

At 80% HP:

Elddar Priest Nalderin Shouts, 'You came here to interrogate me and that was the best that you got?'

Down one level...

You say, 'Hail, Elder Priest Nalderin'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'You fools haven't left yet? I was sure that you would have given up by now like the others. Let me guess, Shalowen wants to know about the [figurine] that you stole from me?'

You say, 'What figurine?'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'The figurine was power that was given to me from . . . You don't [want to know] where the figurine came from.'

You say, 'I want to know'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'You fools are starting to make me angry! I will destroy each and every one of you!'

Elder Priest Nalderin casts a healing aura of protection then joins the battle.

At 60% HP:

Elddar Priest Nalderin Shouts, 'Your pitiful efforts will never get me to talk!'

Down one level...

You say, 'Hail, Elder Priest Nalderin'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'Even if I gave you the information that you wanted to know it would be useless. You don't even have the [key] to enter. . .'

You say, 'What key'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'It's useless! You should give up now! I will tell you no more. Instead I'm going to bury you here!'

Elder Priest Nalderin casts a healing aura of protection then joins the battle.

At 40% HP:

Elddar Priest Nalderin Shouts, 'Even if you kill me here today your efforts will be for nothing.'

Down one level...

You say, 'Hail, Elder Priest Nalderin'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'You think that you can just come in here and that I would just [tell you everything]?'

You say, 'tell you everything?'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'I will die either way, so it might as well be here.'

Elder Priest Nalderin casts a healing aura of protection then joins the battle.

At 20% HP:

Elddar Priest Nalderin Shouts, 'I've had enough of this game. Come down and I'll show you why you can't stop the corruption!'

Down one last level to the base of the Shrine...

You say, 'Hail, Elder Priest Nalderin'

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'The figurine is corrupt and there is even a [greater power] behind the corruption.'

You say, 'What greater power?'

Elder Priest Nalderin says '___, do I look like a fool to you? I will die with this information if I must. I will also die trying to kill anyone who attempts to get this information from me!'

Elder Priest Nalderin casts a healing aura of protection then joins the battle.

He has about 150K HP total.

He only warps down each level, not a despawn and respawn, so if you clear out all the mobs first, then you can run between levels and burn the priest down long before he has the change to regenerate. If you stun him before he drops below his target HP, then you can burn him even more before he warps.

As an 85 wizard with a cleric merc, the hardest part of the whole thing was clearing the tower-three pulls were a bit rough, but Twincast helped a lot to burn them before they had a chance to gank you.

1) Search for Elder Priest Nalderin. 0/1 Tunare's Shrine
(Completing this stage will lock the task)
2) Confront the elder priest for answers about the corrupted elves. 0/1 Tunare's Shrine
3) ???
4) ???


Hailing Elder Priest Nalderin, he responds:

Elder Priest Nalderin says 'So you are the fools that Shalowen has been sending to do the work that he was to weak to do himself. Shalowen has sent others before you and they have all [failed] so why do you think that this will be any different?
Your task 'Questioning the Priest' has been updated.
Your shared task is now locked. You may no longer add or remove players.

After you talk to Elder Priest Nalderin he will attack. At 80% health he will "gate" down 1 level. He then starts to regenerate. After clearing the next level, you hail and dialog with him, and he attacks again. At 60% he will "gate" again down a level. And then at 40% and finally 20%.

Will dumping a lot of DoTs on this guy help lessen the regen recovery after he gates?

Many (if not all) of the mobs I've encountered who do this sort of thing don't "teleport"; they actually de-spawn, then re-spawn with their health at the designated percentage.

Thus, heaping on more DoTs (more DoTs! more DoTs! -50 DKP!) certainly can't hurt; DPS is DPS. But the second he reaches 80%/60%/40%/20% he'll de-spawn and reappear as an entirely "new" mob at the required level of health. Simply reapply DoTs and grind him down.
