Exodus Encounter

News has reached Sosaria that the defeat of Exodus was an illusion, not finally killed after all but merely banished. His Arch Zealot can be found on the sands at the gates of the ill fated Ver Lor Reg entreating adventures to perform a ritual to summon him.

But is it the real deal? Or just a clockwork facsimile?

The ritual requires the use of four keys, the robeexodus_robe the dagger, exodus_dagger the rite, exodus_rite the altarexodus_altar .

These can be obtained by various methods. All keys have a life span of one week.

The Warrior Path

New creatures and humans have entered Exodus dungeon alongside the more familiar inhabitants.

(Controller, Enslaved Gargoyle, Exodus minion, Exodus Overseer, Gargoyle Destroyer, Golem, )

Additions to Exodus’s forces are Exodus Drones, Exodus Sentinels and Juggernauts

Opposing them for Lord Dupre are Squires, Knights, and Champions.

Both groups have the potential to drop keys.

The Rogue’s Path

A keen eye will be needed to find the supply stashes, for they are hidden well.

The zealot’s pockets can be picked by those with a light touch, but they are most unfriendly when the theft is discovered.

The Crafter’s Path

The Robe :

Made by a tailor and filed where you would expect to find a robe – in the Shirts and Pants menu, however the tailor may need the aid of other crafters in collecting the components to construct it.

  • 6 leather or hides
  • 6 Abyssal Cloth
  • 5 Gold Dust – made from gold coins by an alchemist (ingredients menu)
  • 1 Fire Ruby

The Dagger

Made by a blacksmith and filed under ‘Miscellaneous’, this unique assassin spike will need:

  • 12 ingots
  • 2 blue diamonds
  • 2 fire rubies
  • 10 small pieces of blackrock

The Rite

Carefully written by a scribe this dark document from the ‘other’ menu requires

  • 5 Taint
  • 5 Daemon Bone
  • 5 Daemon Blood
  • 1 Summon Daemon Scroll

The Altar

Most complex of the keys this first requires an alchemist to  create a Nexus Core

  • 5 crushed glass
  • 5 Dark Sapphire
  • 10 Spider Silk
  • 10 Mandrake Root

A Carpenter then takes this strange brew and adds to it

  • 1 Nexus Core
  • 100 Boards/Logs
  • 10 Granite Stones
  • 10 small pieces of blackrock

Performing the Rite

Only a party may perform the rite, the minimum party having 2 members. Only one altar is needed, but each party member must have their own robe, dagger and rite.

Place the altar on any Trammel or Felucca virtue shrine – remember Chaos is not a virtue.

On top of the altar you will see a tome.

Each party member must wear the robe,  re-join their rite to the tome (doubleclick rite, target tome) and then select their path by using the dagger on the book or on themselves. The party leader – ie the party member who placed the altar, may now begin the encounter (context menu on the altar).

The Battleground

If you were observant you caught a glimpse of the battleground when talking to the Arch Zealot – the barren wasteland that was the Gargoyle city of Ver Lor Reg.

A town moongate sits within the circle of stones far to the west, and behind it a well – worn ankh.
