Objectives

Stop the Neferset Ritual at the Murkdeep Cavern.

• Neferset Ritual stopped

Description

Ah, I can already see more clearly, <name>.

We were right to be wary of the evil Neferset. I can already sense that they're behind the forces that corrupt the river.

Go underwater once more and find the Murkdeep Cavern. You will find the Neferset are performing a foul ritual of corruption.

Stop them so the river is cleansed once again.

Rewards

You will receive: 9

Progress

Is it done, <name>?

Completion

The waters of the river are nearly cleansed. Our prophetic visions will soon return.

Notes

Back into the water. The mouth of the cave is at ^{[52.0, 40.0]} just east of Orsis about 50 yards down from the surface. Inside at the back of the cave is Dark Ritualist Zakahn, a level 84 elite tol'vir with 193,000 health, guarded by a few Ritual Guardians. Take out the guardians first—they will not link to the ritualist.

Zakahn has a few abilities:

• Zakahn's Serpents — Summons a few Cavern Serpents, each with ~20,000 health, hitting for 2k on cloth each. Cast repeatedly.
• Shadow Bolt Volley 30 yd range — Hurls missiles of dark magic, inflicting Shadow damage to nearby enemies. 3 sec cast. Hits for ~8500-9500 Shadow.

• Dark Ritualist Zakahn yells: Serpents of the depths! Come and aid your master!
