What does this information mean?

Background[]

Although you have brought low Maltus Everling, the spirit of Lord Everling lives on within the twisted halls of Nektropos Castle. Valten Darkcleanse has asked your assistance in penetrating the cold undeath lingering about in Nektropos and put an end to his sister's remains along with Lord Everling.

Notes[]

  • The layout is very similar to the parent instance, Nektropos Castle. However, you are forced to take a specific pathway due to blocked passages. Ultimately this makes for a very linear progression and it is hard to get lost.
  • Mobs randomly drop three different keys: copper, iron, and brass. These keys open up correlating chests throughout the instance, which each have a chance at providing loot. For example, an iron key will open the medium sized wooden chests.
    • Tinkering recipes (ex. Blueprint: Safety Recaller) have been found in one of the chest as well as boots.
    • Only the person opening the chest can get the loot.
  • Although this dungeon is level 50-56, the loot is mostly level 40 treasured items. Some bosses have broken loot tables which drop items such as the Bright Ember Necklace and Maltena's Brooch, which are no longer in the game. The exception is Lord Everling, who drops level 50 treasured items.
