Undefile the Cyrpt Quest

For the quest before April 15, 2011, see Undefile the Cyrpt Quest/April 15, 2011

Description

The Council asks you to undefile The Cyrpt in the Nearby Plains upon reaching level 7.

Tasks

The Evilometer starts at 200, with 50 for each of the four zones. Obviously, your task is to reduce the Evil detected to 0.

• The four zones are:
  • The Defiled Alcove contains zmobies, and is overseen by a conjoined zmombie.
  • The Defiled Niche contains lihcs, commanded by a gargantulihc.
  • The Defiled Cranny contains ghuols, with a huge ghuol in charge.
  • The Defiled Nook contains skleletons, mini-bossed with a giant skeelton.
• Each monster kill in a zone reduces the evil in that zone by 1, with the message:

Your Evilometer emits a single beep. The air in this part of the crypt smells slightly less evil...

• Certain other mechanics in a zone can reduce the evil in that zone.
  • Alcove: The modern zmobie is worth 5 evil.
  • Cranny: The choice adventure there has a choice to kill a swarm of ghuol whelps, which is worth 3 evil.
  • Niche: The dirty old lihc is worth 3 evil.
  • Nook: The evil eye drops from monsters there, and reduces evil in the Nook by 3 when used.
• Once evil in a zone is at or below 25, the sub-boss is guaranteed to appear. Its death is worth 25 evil.

Strategy

This section is a work in progress, and will be updated as more details self-manifest.

• Alcove: Sniff the modern zmobie. (Not confirmed to be possible.)
• Cranny: Boost noncombats to kill more swarms, Boost ML for larger big swarms.
• Niche: Sniff the dirty old lihc. (Not confirmed to be possible.)
• Nook: Increase item drops to increase the chances of getting an evil eye.

Rewards

• The council will take the skull of the Bonerdagon and give you the dragonbone belt buckle.
• In your Quest Log, under completed quests, you will see: "You've undefiled the Cyrpt, and defeated the Bonerdagon. Hip, Hip, Hooray!"
• All the more powerful monsters you fought inside the Cyrpt (except the mini-bosses and the Bonerdagon itself) can now be found in The Misspelled Cemetary (Post-Cyrpt).

Council Text

On initial visit:

Recently, an aura of extreme Spookiness has begun to emanate from within the Cyrpt, near the Misspelled Cemetary. We fear that some horrible monster has taken up residence there, and begun to rile up the local undead.

Would you be so good as to investigate? This device should help:

You acquire an item: Evilometer

On subsequent visits:

The Spookiness still emanates from the Cyrpt, Adventurer. See if you can find and destroy the source, and bring us back proof of your conquest.

Upon completion:

Aha! So the Spookiness was coming from this abominable creature, was it? Well, you have our thanks, Adventurer, for your courageous act of undefilement.

Please, allow us to fashion that skull into something a little flashier.

You acquire an item: dragonbone belt buckle
