The Revenge of Metos
Required Level: 225
Recommended Level: 275
Type: Locked Fellowship
Starts With: Metos
Starts At: Halls of Metos (Wai Jhou) at 61.4S, 46.6W
Repeat: 3 Days

Overview

In this two part raid dungeon, the players will assist Metos against the powerful Nergul.

Long ago, Metos had taken Nergul in and treated him like a brother. As time passed, in secret, Nergul had been studying blood magic. Eventually, he turned Metos's creations against their creator, killing Metos. But after centuries, Metos is back and needs your help to avenge his death by slaying his murderer.

Walkthrough & Notes

Each part in the dungeon has a separate two hour, locked fellowship timer. Completing part one will flag you for part two.

You must speak to Metos at 64.4S, 45.8W outside Graveyard to enter Halls of Metos.

Apart from the need to have a group of nine very geared individuals, it also requires strong group coordination to complete. Consumables are highly recommended (see below). Consult the group leader to get a full list of consumables you should bring.

You are not allowed to bring Rares through the Vile Barrier or Portal to the Catacombs. Item rares that are on your weapon and Spectral rares are allowed through.

Recommended consumables:

Encounters (Part 1)

To begin, you must hand in a K'nath Chrysalis to the Incorruptible Guardian. You can find a chrysalis from a K'nath Sire in the nearby Knathtead Excavation. This will lock your fellowship and allow everyone passage through the Vile Barrier.

Flying Daggers Traps

The goal is to hit the button at the end of the hallway. This will stop the traps from working.
The strategy is simple. Don't get hit by daggers. They do considerable amounts of damage, usually one hitting most players.
There are also stamina traps before the hallway leading to the button. In the hallway, there are multiple acid traps that will shoot acid bolts at you.
As an added safety measure, there are rare dispel traps in the hallway as well. This is to prevent players from using rares before the barrier and using them for a boss fight. Item rares that are on your weapon and Spectral rares will remain. The traps will remain even after the button is pushed.

Adventurer's Hammer

This encounter begins with Nergul sitting in a chair taunting the players. After the cutscene, several golems will spawn, both missile and melee Granite Golems. Kill the golems as fast as possible. They do not respawn. At the end, an Adventurer's Hammer will appear on the ground in the back of the room. This is used to break down the barrier leading to the Expedition Leader fight.
Preferred weapon type: Bludgeon, Armor Rending
Life Mages
Begin by bludge vulning then imping the four Granite Golem rock throwers, working your way left to right. Move on to the melee Granite Golems next. Once everything is imped and vulned, either DPS the stragglers or begin healing the group.
Archers, Melee, and War/Void Mages
Begin by attacking the leftmost Granite Golem rock thrower, working your way right. Move on to the melee Granite Golems next.

Dialog

Opening Dialog

Incorruptible Guardian tells you, "Greetings, adventurer. It is my duty to guard the entrance to these halls. In this you are fortunate, for I alone of all of Metos' guardians remain uncorrupted."

Incorruptible Guardian tells you, "I burn to see my master revenged, and the usurper slain. Perhaps you have the strength and cunning to achieve this."

Incorruptible Guardian tells you, "I would grant you passage through the wards sealing the entrance, but my struggle against the corruption is a constant strain, and I am weary."

Incorruptible Guardian tells you, "Perhaps if you were to bring me some form of sustenance to rekindle my energies... My fellow golems are partial to butterscotch sucklings, but I have always preferred creatures a bit more...gelatinous."
Giving K'nath Chrysalis to Incorruptible Guardian

The golem bites into the k'nath egg with a terrible shattering sound, and chews with evident pleasure.

[Fellowship] Incorruptible Guardian says, "Ah, I feel newly made! Now I am strong enough to grant you passage through the wards, but only for a time..."

The golem sketches a symbol in the air, and your skin tingles with arcane energies.

Your fellowship is now locked. You may not recruit new members. If you leave the fellowship, you have 15 minutes to be recruited back into the fellowship.

[Fellowship] Incorruptible Guardian says, "Now I must rest."
Using the Vile Barrier

The vile barrier gives way at your touch, allowing you to pass but leaving an oily film on your skin. You have ??h ??m ??s remaining until it will resist your entry.
Attempting to re-enter while an encounter is in progress

The wards protecting the Halls of Metos flare bright, rejecting your attempt at entry! They will remain on high alert for as long as the fellowship's assault continues.
Nergul's opening dialog

Nergul says, "I welcome you, Isparians. And...other creatures."

Nergul says, "No doubt you have come seeking riches, artifacts of power, forbidden knowledge..."

Nergul says, "You trespass into the unknown, reassured by the naive belief that you will ultimately prevail."

Nergul says, "But you will not."

Nergul says, "Here you shall find only death."

Nergul says, "And in death, you shall serve me..."
After defeating the last golem in the Adventurer's Hammer encounter

The last of the golems collapses with a mighty rumble, knocking the lid of the sarcophagus ajar, revealing the corpse of some unfortunate adventurer. With a deafening clang, an ancient warhammer tumbles to the ground.
Breaking the wall with the Adventurer's Hammer

With one last swing, the wall tumbles in on itself, sending up a cloud of dust. Through the reopened passage comes the foul stench of death...
Starting the Expedition Leader's encounter

With a push from <player>'s hand, the ancient doors fall off their rusty hinges and strike the floor with a terrible clang. As the echoes fade, you hear the shuffling of boots in the hall behind you. It's an ambush!

An ill wind blows through the open door...
Giving Expedition Leader's Fingerbone to Metos

You give Metos Expedition Leader's Fingerbone.

Metos tells you, "The Dericost always were an arrogant people, and became ever the more so once they believed they had cheated death."

Metos tells you, "No doubt it came as quite a surprise to discover these halls were not abandoned like the others. And occupied by a being of monstrous power, at that. I almost pity them..."

Metos gives you White Pyreal Bar.
Defeating Dust Devil

Metos says, "I salute you adventurers!"

Metos says, "With the defeat of the Dericost expedition and these wicked spirits of the air, it is safe once again for me to venture into the upper levels of my halls."

Metos says, "Proceed with caution! I fear that you will soon face the works of my own hands, corrupted by Nergul..."
Giving Devil's Sand to Metos

You give Metos Devil's Sand.

Metos tells you, "My quest for justice keeps me bound to the physical plane, but long ago I set aside all desire to return to my body."

Metos tells you, "Had I not, I too might have been consumed by my envy of the living, and become like these malevolent spirits..."

Metos gives you White Pyreal Bar.

Defeating Rockbiter

Metos says, "Such a pity. This was once one of my finest creations. A titan of crystal that blazed into prismatic color beneath the sun."

Metos says, "Without the energies I provided, it was driven to eating rock to survive, and the very matter of its being was replaced with crude stone."

Metos says, "Yet for all that, I did not sense Nergul's malice in it, only the ancient command to guard these halls."

Metos says, "It heartens me to see that more of my works resisted his power. Continue with my blessing, but remain vigilant."

As <plater> rifles through the heap of bones, you hear a hollow clatter in the hallway behind you. Through some dark art, the skeletons of these fallen adventurers have begun to reassemble themselves!

Srand the Vengeful says, "Fah, the stench of the living..."

Srand the Vengeful says, "We, the long dead, despise you...and envy you."

You feel a terrible compulsion to press the button, but you pull your hand away at the last second.

Srand the Vengeful says, "Taking your lives will not return flesh to these old bones. "

Srand the Vengeful says, "But we will take them nonetheless."

Metos tells you, "Nergul has shored up his defenses, and now no blessing I can provide will serve to protect you."

Metos tells you, "To safely pass through the secret passage to the Catacombs, each of you will require the aid of one of these liberated souls. It shall guide you, as a lamp in a dark place."

Metos tells you, "No more than thirty such souls may assist you at one time. During your trials within the Catacombs, some of these will leave your side to safeguard you from corruption, and none will linger once their former captor is defeated."

Metos tells you, "Go now with my blessing! Seek out Nergul and destroy him--for the good of the world!"

Metos gives you 20 Liberated Souls.

Defeating Srand in the Corrupted Gatekeeper fight

Srand the Vengeful says, "No, I'm afraid it won't be that easy..."

Redeemed Guardian says, "Ah, the skeleton! Even in my corrupted state, she was no ally of mine--a cruel taskmaster, full of treachery and deceit."

Redeemed Guardian says, "If it is the Evil One you seek, she stands astride the path. To face her is certain death without this one piece of knowledge: her reanimated bones cannot be defeated unless you first weaken her soul."

Redeemed Guardian says, "No test of main strength, that. One of you must take the burden of her undying hatred upon your own soul, and it is a heavy burden indeed..."

Redeemed Guardian says, "But knowledge alone will not suffice!"

Redeemed Guardian says, "There. I have done...what I can. Her soul is revealed. I would aid you further, but I am famished..."
Giving Corrupted Sliver to Metos

You give Metos Corrupted Sliver.

Metos tells you, "Not all of my works resisted Nergul's corruption, as you can see."

Metos tells you, "Never could I have imagined that my golems would be turned to such a diabolical purpose. Once Nergul is defeated, a reversal of the corruption might be attempted..."

Giving Burning Bone to Metos
