The Good Side of Evil

What to prepare

Nothing to gather: plan for four fights and one wave fight, all doable as a group, in Dark Vlad's Labyrinth.

The 12 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Malzerbego

   Dialogue[0,15] · Malzerbego

   At the edge of the Evil Forest, Malzerbego warns you: the Malters, the spirits of the forest, lure visitors to its center to offer them as a sacrifice to the One who rules them. He wants to do good and save those who get lost in the forest: he asks you to go in and find Twelvians to save.

   Dialogue

   1. “Trust the malter and agree to enter the forest”

2. 2Find Lucas Trey

   Movement[-1,19] · Lucas Trey

   Enter the Evil Forest (closest entrance at [0,16], downward). In Dark Vlad's Labyrinth, Lucas Trey is looking for his way: a voice lured him into the forest while he was fishing, promising him a treasure. Malzerbego, who followed you, recognizes the work of one of his own kind.

   

3. 3Listen to Malzerbego

   Dialogue[-1,19] · Malzerbego

   On the same map, Malzerbego explains that you need to quickly bring the Twelvian back to a familiar place, before he loses his mind. He protects him while you look for the place where he used to fish.

4. 4Find Lucas Trey's fishing spot

   Movement[-7,21]

   Head to the edge of the forest; you can leave the labyrinth at [-5,20], to the left. Examine the fishing rods by clicking them to confirm that this is indeed Lucas Trey's spot.

   

5. 5Go back to see Malzerbego

   Dialogue[-1,19] · Malzerbego

   Tell Malzerbego that you found the Twelvian's camp, to the southeast. You must take him there, but the other Malters will block the way: you will have to fight to open the path for him.

6. 6Defeat the Malzerbs

   Combat[-2,19] · Oppressive Malzerb

   Go to the map on the left and talk to the Oppressive Malzerb to attack him and his acolytes. The fight can be done with several players.

   Each Malter becomes invisible at the start of its turn and summons a copy with different spells, fewer HP and 40% fewer resistances. When the copy dies, the base monster becomes visible again but also loses 40% resistances. More details on the Long Slumber's Barrow dungeon page.

   • Oppressive Malzerbfight · level 150 · 3,100 HP · 11 AP · 5 MP

   

7. 7Defeat the Maltrios

   Combat[-2,20] · Tormenting Maltrio

   Go down one map: a new group blocks the way. Talk to the Tormenting Maltrio to attack him and his companions, with several players if you like.

   • Tormenting Maltriofight · level 150 · 3,600 HP · 11 AP · 5 MP

   

8. 8Defeat the Malterbarbs

   Combat[-3,20] · Tyrannical Malterbarb

   Keep going left and talk to the Tyrannical Malterbarb to attack him and his clique. The fight can be done with several players.

   • Tyrannical Malterbarbfight · level 150 · 3,400 HP · 11 AP · 5 MP

   

9. 9Defeat the Malalfas

   Combat[-4,20] · Harassing Malalfa

   Keep going west and talk to the Harassing Malalfa to attack him and his buddies. The fight can be done with several players.

   • Harassing Malalfafight · level 150 · 4,100 HP · 10 AP · 6 MP

   

10. 10Win the wave fight

    [-5,20] · Tormenting Maltrio

    The exit is very close, but a horde of Malters blocks you: Malzerbego comes to help you. Talk to the Tormenting Maltrio to start a three-wave fight, doable as a group. Wave 1: 2 of each Malter. Wave 2, after 3 turns: 3 Harassing Malalfa, 1 Tyrannical Malterbarb, 3 Tormenting Maltrio, 1 Oppressive Malzerb. Wave 3, after 5 turns: 1 Harassing Malalfa, 3 Tyrannical Malterbarb, 1 Tormenting Maltrio, 3 Oppressive Malzerb.

    If Malzerbego dies, the fight continues: you can win it without him.

    

11. 11Talk to Malzerbego

    Dialogue[-5,20] · Malzerbego

    On the same map, Malzerbego tells you that Lucas Trey managed to escape during the fight. He won't leave the forest, which he loves, and goes back to his post. He asks you to check that the Twelvian arrived safely.

12. 12Find Lucas Trey

    [-7,21] · Lucas Trey

    Lucas Trey thanks you and Malzerbego. He has learned not to trust appearances and will never set foot in the center of the forest again. The quest ends.
