Curse of the Pharaoh King

PLOT

Saul is fascinated with Sallust, the great historian of Glastheim. One fascination in particular is about the kingdom that surrounded Faroe Islands that the would-be first Lord King of Glastheim destroyed. He is restricted in doing research within the walls of the capital city so he needs your help to finish Sallust’s work.

INSTRUCTIONS

1st Part:-

1.Go to Glastheim (P) graveyard (location glast_01p 200 174 ) and go inside. Walk down, slightly to the right (character’s right) until you see a portal (location gl_in02p 43 109). Go inside that portal.

2.Once you are inside, walk a little bit to the top until you see an NPC looking at a statue. Talk to him. He will tell you that he is Saul and that the statue is that of Sallust, the great historian. You will be then given options, choose the second one (tell me more about him). He will then go on and tell you that Sallust has many unfinished works, one of which tells about the lost kingdom of the Pharaoh. This kingdom ended when the first king of glastheim laid siege on it, and its seat of power, the pyramid, destroyed and was sunk. Saul wants to finish what Sallust has started writing but he can’t access the pyramid. You will then be prompted with another choice window. Choose the obvious answer. Saul will then send you to Heloise, apparently his sister, in the Glastheim library.

3.Once inside the library, speak to Heloise. There will be a third option in the window; choose that. She will then tell you things about his brother and her dismay about their current ruler, as well as the resistance but eventually she will tell about a book you have to search somewhere inside the library.

4.Go to the bookshelves above Heloise (location gl_in01 190 158), locate the book, and read it. After reading it, return to Saul.

5.Once you return to Saul, speak to him. He will tell you that you found something interesting and that if ever you enter the pyramid, don’t forget to tell him what you find.

NOTE:- If you have a Falco Insignia already in your inventory, you can give it to Saul. He will only reward you with the Garnet Ring though, so be warned. (This needs to be verified though, because for the sake of completing the quest I didn’t give Saul the ring just yet. But there is an option where you are to give him the Falco Insignia so I’m guessing you can get the ring this early in the quest. But that’s just a hunch. Best someone do it)

BIG NOTE:-

• if you didn’t finish the prerequisites to enter Nightmare Pyramids Lvl 1 and 2 now is the time to do so.

2nd Part:- Searching the Pyramid.

6.Go inside Nightmare Pyramid Lvl 1 and talk to Bandit (location 94, 95). There will be a new selection that is connected to Saul. Choose that. The Bandit will say that he and his friend are Ghosts (ZOMG), manifestation of the slaves that were buried with the Pharaoh, and they remain in the pyramid because of the Pharaoh’s curse. But after you helped them, the curse weakened and they finally can escape the pyramid. But Both Bandit and his friend chose to stay behind to guide and help adventurers like you (good ghosts :D). After the conversation talk to him again and go to Lvl 2.

• Once you enter Nightmare Pyramids Lvl 2, you might want to hunt the MVP there, Nightmare Amon-Ra. He drops the essential ingredient to get the ring and the crown, which is the Falco Insignia.

PROTIP:- Bring a party.

7.Once in Lvl 2, go find a skeleton statue (location 179, 93 ). After that move forward until you reach the main room of the pharaoh’s burial chamber.

8.Walk towards the small pathway directly in front of you until you see a pharaoh statue (location 102 121). You will need to sketch it for Saul so bring slick paper (mob drop).

9.After ‘sketching’ the statue, go all the way to the top of the map. Move pass a file of Skeleton warriors until you see the NPC named “entry” (location 102 179). Click it. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE at least 5000 weight in hand because what you will carry is heavy (Thanks to Luxuri). It’s a sarcophagus. After getting this, return to Saul.

10.After giving everything that you found to Saul, Saul will reward you depending on how far you’ve gone with the quest. There are a couple scenarios possible:-

a.You return with an incomplete search of nightmare pyramid lvl 2 + falco insignia = Garnet Ring (?)
b.You return with an incomplete search of nightmare pyramid lvl 2without falco insignia = zeny
c.You return with a complete search of nightmare pyramid lvl 2 + falco insignia = Garnet Crown and Garnet Ring
d.You return with a complete search of nightmare pyramid lvl 2 without falco insignia = zeny.

11.If you manage to complete the search inside the pyramid, Saul will reward you with the Garnet Crown and the Garnet Ring. This concludes the quest.
