The Cursed Island

What to prepare

Nothing to buy: you need to be able to chain three fights, doable as a group, and the Bitter-Hammers' Stronghold dungeon. Keep Nascherite's Amulet, which is used to disguise yourself.

The 9 quest steps

1. 1Board with Marina Tysal

   Movement[36,-76] · Marina Tysal

   Marina Tysal suggests you go to the island of Ereboria to investigate the latest delivery of goods.

   Dialogue

   1. “Board for Ereboria Island”

2. 2Question Zippy Swifoot

   Dialogue[33,-70] · Zippy Swifoot

   Go on to [33,-70] and enter the Ereboria tunnels by the left. Zippy Swifoot, who has a wooden leg like in Viggö's account, claims the Albuerans never delivered. When you mention Viggö's testimony, he is surprised that he escaped the burnt dead: he is the one who tried to eliminate him, and he orders the Bitter-Hammers to attack you.

   Dialogue

   1. “Defend yourself”

   As a group, pick the first choice: the quest updates for everyone and the fight only happens once. It can be done as a group.

   

3. 3Run away from the burnt dead

   [35,-70]

   You wake up in the jungle, with a smell of burning. Go up to the map at [35,-70] : as soon as you arrive, a group of three burnt dead attacks you. The fight can be done as a group. On victory, you get a Broken Cage.

   All the burnt dead have 100% Fire resistance. If you lose, take the boat to Ereboria again at [36,-76] : go up one map and head right.

4. 4Keep running to the left

   [34,-70]

   Head left, to [34,-70] : a new group of three burnt dead attacks you. The fight can be done as a group.

   Don't step on the mud puddles on the ground: you would be attacked again.

5. 5Go back to the Ereboria tunnels

   Movement[33,-70] [33,-71]

   Keep going left until [33,-70], enter the Ereboria tunnels again, then go to [33,-71]. Now you have to move around the city without being noticed, still avoiding the puddles.

6. 6Disguise yourself as a Bitter-Hammer

   Movement[31,-68]

   Use Nascherite's Amulet to get Nascherite's enchantment. Then fight a group of Bitter-Hammers: you are guaranteed to get the disguise of one of the monsters in the area.

   Transformed, you move more slowly than on a mount: do this fight near [31,-68], where you need to go.

7. 7Go down to the Bitter-Hammers' Stronghold

   Movement[32,-64] · Paz Thruwall

   Disguised, go to [31,-68] and go down the stairs to [31,-64]. Go to the dungeon entrance at [32,-64] and talk to Paz Thruwall to enter.

   Dialogue

   1. “Use the key ring”

   With a save at the boss, the quest does not update: enter through room 1 of the dungeon.

8. 8Defeat Berylbell Copperbeard

   Combat[32,-64]

   Run the Bitter-Hammers' Stronghold dungeon and defeat Berylbell Copperbeard, on her map and in a single fight.

   • Berylbell Copperbeardfight · level 190 · 18,000 to 22,000 HP · 20 AP · 5 MP

9. 9Talk to Berylbell Copperbeard

   Dialogue[32,-64] · Berylbell Copperbeard

   Berylbell doesn't believe you: Vitkour is her most loyal disciple. But he is the only Bitter-Hammer with a wooden leg, and you show her the Albueran-made cage found on a burnt dead. Vitkour can't be found: to prove your good faith, she asks you to find him and bring him back to her.

   Dialogue

   1. “Reveal the reasons for your visit and mention the welcome you got from Zippy Swifoot”
   2. “Take your leave and go look for Zippy Swifoot”
