Peerless Monster Quests

Wiki > Ultima Online Wiki > Gameplay > Quests > Peerless Monster Quests

These quests relate to gathering keys which are needed to access Peerless Monsters (Dreadhorn, Shimmering Effusion, Travesty, Monstrous Interred Grizzle, Melisande, Chief Paroxysmus), and in some instances, to access areas leading to their domain. Take the quest by double clicking the npc. When you have killed the required number of the creatures designated in the quest a chime will be heard and a message reminding you to return to the npc who gave you the quest to collect your reward. This information can be checked through your quest log, accessible through your character’s paper doll.
