Foul's Creche

 Continent: Laenor

Description:

• Most people come here for Level Quest 40 (Sacrifice Staff)
• To enter this area the first time, you need two people to open the gates.
• After that, the person inside can open up a back entrance into the area

Quests:

• LQ 40: Sacrifice Staff
• This is the second area to complete this Level Quest

Equipment:

• Ring of Stars
• Dropped by the Urvile Loremaster
• Not sure what this ring does. It looks like it should be valuable though.
• Hmm, doesn't appear to survive reboot so must be an area quest item

Open Questions:

• What's up with the jester and their "time bomb"
• Also what is up with the key and the candle you find with them?
• How do you get across the pool of acid, and where does that slide go to?
• How do you get across the rickety bridge?
• Where does the portal take you in the hall of mirrors.

Notes:

Entrance (and Hotel Lobby):

• Important Disclaimer: You will need two players to enter the area. One player needs to open/close the gates. The other player goes into the hotel/creche and then can lower a rope for everyone else.
• Go to the lever room and "move lever"
• This lowers/raises the gate in this room and the next room.
• Only one gate is open at once. So a player needs to go into the next room, and then have a player outside swap the gate positions so they can advance
• The player inside the room needs to go "west" and then "search/break mirror" to go into a room with a theif and a mechanical doohickey
• Take the Mechanical Doohickey and leave
• Now enter the elevator which leads you to an empty elevator shaft.
• Climb the shaft to enter the elevator repair room
• Take the rope here and "tie rope to post" to allow other people to join you.
• People can now use the window exit to get into and leave Lord Foul's Creche (and hotel)
• Give the doohickey to the repairnman to fix the elevator. The elevator will now be available to use.
• If the elevator isn't present, you can "push button" to call it.

Elevator:

• Another Important Disclaimer:
• After a while, the elevator will break again. If you are on floors 1-4 you will be stuck until somebody repairs the elevator.
• I'd recommend keeping your explorations to 10 - 15 minutes and then leave and repair the elevator before continuing.
• You can "push X" to move between floors
• Floor list:
• (U) Upper Level.
• Elevator repairman and window to enter/leave the area
• (E) Entrance
• The hotel Lobby
• (1) First floor
• Pit of acid
• (2) Second floor
• Locked up Jester (with key)
• (3) Third floor
• Urvile Loremaster, and altar to sacrifice the staff for LQ40
• (4) Fourth floor
• Lord Foul and lots of dying

First Floor:

• You can break the pipe in the dingy hallway to release water which will flood the surrounding rooms.
• This is helpful to dilute the acid in the next room
• But.... this was not enough on its own to allow me to traverse the acid room
• The water will eventually dry up and it takes a while for this pipe to reset its water level.
• There is an acid pool blocking your progress in the next room
• Water walking does not help to cross it.

Second Floor:

• When you enter the second floor, you can "pull torch" to enter a jail cell
• Inside the jail cell is a jester who has been locked up, a big ugly grey key, and a noxious looking black candle
• The jester will not answer questions, but keeps talking about a "time bomb" they still have
• To exit this room, "pull torch" again
• In the next room is a rickety bridge crossing a big gap.
• If you attempt to cross the bridge, it will break and you will end up on the third floor.
• You can also "jump hole" to head down to the 3rd level in a more controlled fashion

Third Floor:

• To complete the Level Quest, from the elevator room go SE, E, to the room with a low ceiling
• You might want to pause for a minute and get ready for a big fight. The Urvile Loremaster is a 100k EXP monster
• Then go north and kill the Urvile Loremaster
• After that, go NE to the alter room and "sacrifice staff of law" to complete the quest.
• Text when you complete the quest:
• Congratulations! You have just completed Sacrifice staff!
• You receive 10072 gold as a reward for completing the quest.
• You gently reach out and place the Staff of Law on the altar before returning to your knees in humble respect.
• The braziers suddenly flare violently and the room begins to tremor. 
• Suddenly, a loud voice explodes within your brain:
• A fine job my despicable servant.  Know that your master is pleased with you and has decided to grant you a most vile and hideous boon:  completion of level quest 40.
• If you explore through the Urviles to the East, one of them in the room with the captive human will cast anti-magic field which is really annoying.
• Side note, some of the humor here is not great. I hate to sound like a prude, but this is a neat area that I feel could be better if they changed some of the sex jokes around.
• Some of the Urviles will also flee when they get down to around 15% health, which can cause lots of problems as well.
• There is a cavewight to the south at a dead end that is digging in a pile of boulders.
• I'd like to explore that area more, but I could only pop in and out since the monsters were too tough for me.

Fourth Floor:

• Warning: There is a vicious urvile that wanders around this level so it might be in the entrance when you step off the elevator
• It will track/follow you for a while if you attempt to run away
• The Urvile knows how to use the elevator, so even if you escape into it and go to a different room it will find you.
• In the murkey pond room there is a dead muckmonster....
• This was kind of a letdown actually...
• In the hall of levers there are three levers and a scoreboard.
• The scoreboard goes between 0 and 999
• If the score goes above 999, it wraps around to 0, If it goes below 0 it wraps around to 999.
• Pulling the blue lever increments the count by 10
• Pulling the red lever increments the count by 100
• Pulling the green lever decrements the count by 101
• If you pull the levers too many times it will summon aggressive Urviles that will attack you.
• I assume if you get the scoreboard to either 0 or 999 (not sure which) it will raise the gate and let you enter the portal.
• My recommendation would be to pull the green lever until the score ends in a '0'. Then pull the red/green levers to make the full score read '0 0 0'
