Notes:
Getting to the Volcano:
- Be sure to pack something to drink. Traveling in the badlands will really dehydrate you.
- Be careful to stay on the trails since there is flowing lava all over this continent.
- As you approach the volcano, it is mostly surrounded by hot lava which will hurt a lot (400 dmg) if you step on it.
- There is one path that avoids the lava 1 nw of the entrance. Aka you can hug the mountain and then enter the volcano by going se and then up.
Entrance:
- I couldn't interact with the beggar, but their description seemed to imply they were wise and knew something
- On retrospect, I should have given them some money
- Update: Giving money doesn't seem to do anything
- The centaur blocks your path
- They were pretty easy to kill though for my level (36)
- There is a roc nest you can enter with three baby rocs inside
- I wonder where their mother is.....
- If you start attacking the babies...
- UH OH! THE MOTHER ROC COMES BACK! AND SHE'S MAD!
- Momma Roc hits hard FYI
- Inside the volcano there is a "cave creature" by the name Gollum
- Yes, that "Gollum"
- He drops a dagger named sting, which seems wrong since he never wielded it in the books
- Looking at the dagger, it is just a cheap copy.... I was only worth 31 gold when selling it.
- Further south, there is Magmic the Elemental
- A highbie party was trying to kill him (and failing) when I was exploring so I would recommend not annoying him.
- You can "climb ledge" at the dead end to make your way up to the mouth of the volcano
- There is a pegasus up here
- If you try to "ride pegasus" it refuses to grant you service.
- I suspect you need to talk to vulcan first (past the fire genie)
- Back down to the main area inside the volcano, to the east is a shrine with an aggro worshiper
- If you climb down from the shrine, you end up in a pit with aggressive fire genies
- In this pit I quickly got dehydrated and burned. Would not recommend hanging out here longer than needed
- There are fire genies in each of the paths out of the cavern under the shrine.
- The one to the west has a "stairway" which doesn't show up in the exits but you can take by going "down"
- You will then meet Vulcan down below the fire genie.
- Warning, you will take fire damage as long as you are down here. It isn't much, but you should be aware of it.
- If you ask him about help he says you should ask about something else
- If you ask him about zeus, he says he hasn't seen Zeus in weeks
- If you ask him about job, then he will ask if you want to accept it:
- Say "yes"
- Vulcan then says to take a scroll to Zeus and to NOT READ IT
- I read it so you don't need to:
- As you begin to read the scroll you feel uneasy.
- You feel as if your body is getting very warm.
- You are starting to feel very hot.
- Your skin feels as if it is on fire.
- You are on fire.
- You are about to die.
- That really HURT!
- Your skin is CHARRED severely!
- You are no longer stunned.
- You fall unconscious from the pain.
- You die.
- Vulcan also gives you a key to get there.
- Going back up to the Pegasus, it will let you ride it now.
- "ride Pegasus"
Olympus:
- You can unlock the golden gate with the key Vulcan gave you
- This is good because the Pegasus totally ditches you here
- Heading into the throne room you find Hera but no Zeus
- Hera says she is angry at Zeus and will not allow him to leave
- Hera will not respond to any of your questions
- Hera will not let you search "her" throne
- If you attack Hera she will banish you after a couple of rounds
- This is kind of nice since it's not like I had a ride out of there.
- If you are trying to complete the quest I highly recommend getting a ring of lead from the ring shop in Arelium to avoid getting banished.
- She also casts lightning bolt
- She also has a wicked mean kick (does a ton of damage)
- Hera is a challenge to solo for the LQ unless you are really well equipped.
- I was making progress on her, but then I wimpied into Zeus's chamber though! So I didn't have to kill her!!!
- If you do kill Hera you can enter Zeus's private room by typing "search throne"
- In it, Zeus is hiding out from Hera
- For the Level Quest, give the scroll you obtained from Vulcan to Zeus
- Text from Zeus after he gets the scroll:
- Zeus takes the scroll from you and peruses it for a moment.
- He looks up at you for a moment.
- Zeus says 'Thank you mortal. You have been most helpful.
- Take this seal back to Vulcan so he will know that you have successfully delivered his message.
- Zeus gives you his seal.
- Zeus says 'Here, take this portal. It will take you back to the top of the volcano.
- Zeus then gives you the "Seal of Zeus"
- The portal takes you back to the Pegasus
- Go back to Vulcan and give him Zeus's seal. This will complete the Level Quest!
- This also gave me the "Lightning Bolt of Zeus <red glow>
- Quest completion text:
- Vulcan says 'Well done mortal! As a reward for your loyalty and worthiness in helping the gods, I will give you one of Zeus' Lightning Bolts!
- Congratulations! You have just completed Vulcan!
- You receive 25704 gold as a reward for completing the quest.
