Apprenticeship: Master of Illusions

What to prepare

You need one character from each order, so 3, Bontarians or Brakmarians, at this step of the quest or having completed it: without them, the well gates stay closed. Also plan for the Merkator's Aquadome dungeon and a big team for the last fight.

1. 1Talk to Ebru of El

   Dialogue[-34,-58] · Ebru of El

   The quest starts in the basement of the Tower of Orders. From the main entrance, go into the right room, go down the stairs, then enter the left room. You can also use the lower entrance of the tower, at [-34,-57] : go straight ahead, then left.

2. 2Talk to Silvosse

   Dialogue[-34,-58] · Silvosse

   Silvosse is in the Protectors' Hall: from the main entrance, it's the right room, the concierge's. Your mission: destroy three wells of power before the Brakmarians get their hands on them. You can drain them in any order you like.

3. 3Defeat Merkator

   Combat[22,30]

   The first well, the sunken one, has no known location: only Merkator can point it out to you. Complete the Merkator's Aquadome dungeon, whose entrance is at [22,30], and defeat Merkator in a single fight.

5. 5Defeat Nedward Lowe

   Combat[-21,-60]

   The second well is at the Heroes' Cemetery: enter the crypt. Each order has access to one of the three graves. Go down into yours and talk to an orb to start the fight, alone. The orbs are invulnerable and summon turrets and harpooners, and the map is trapped: to kill an orb, end your turn in melee range of it.

9. 9Defeat Captain Chafer

   Combat[-21,-60] · Captain Chafer

    Combat[-14,35] · Lord de Seashore

    Healing your allies also heals the monsters for a few HP.
