Walkthrough

This assault is composed of several tasks which must all be completed to unlock the Rune of Release.
Task 1: Kill the Qutrub

• Scattered about the start location (I-9) are 5 Qutrub. Defeat these to unlock the doors to the north.

Task 2: Kill Merrow No.16

• In one of the 6 rooms to the north, Merrow No 16 will be fighting general Karazahm. Defeat Merrow No.16 and do not let the general die.
• Merrow No 16 and the general do not show up on wide scan, so you will need to check each room quickly to find them.

Task 3: Kill Lamia No.14

• In (I-6), Lamia No 14 must be defeated to unlock the door to the north.
• Beware of Belly Dance, a sight-based AoE charm. Everyone should face away from the NM when she uses this ability to avoid being charmed.

(Another strategy for #14 is for the entire party to get charmed, #14 then will proceed to take the whole party through the gate and drop you right near general Umarid. You may/may not have to kill #14 depending on how your party uncharms. If you choose to fight her at the general then make sure everyone faces her and keep bio/poison on in case the party gets charmed because she will regen when unclaimed. (She seems to use belly dance a lot less when fought near the general))

Task 4: Kill Lamia No.17

• In (H-6), you will find general Umarid. Upon approaching him, he will attack. Damage him to <50% HP and Lamia No 17 will appear.
  • Do not kill the general
• Once Lamia No.17 appears, defeat her to unlock the Rune of Release at (I-5).
