When the July 14, 2004 patch introduced the revamped Veeshan's Peak, it also
introduced a quest to get the
New Key to
Veeshan's Peak. Completing this quest serves as a shortcut in the new
quest, but is not required for it. You cannot enter Veeshan's Peak without
obtaining the new key.
This is the quest to get the key to enter Veeshan's Peak. All told, it should
take you several days real time to complete, and will require help from others
along the way.
Not far south (just keep the wall on your right) from the Swamp of No Hope zone,
there's a passage going into the wall. At the end of the passage, there's a huge
room with a red viper-looking throne, and on the throne there's a ghost-looking
Iksar floating.
He is at 49, and cons indifferent. His name is Emperor Ganak, and here's what he
has to say:
You say, 'hail Emperor Ganak' Emperor Ganak says 'Greetings..It has been long
since I have been aware on this plane..Who are you and what do you want of I,
Ganak, slayer of Jaled-Dar?'
You say, 'what is veeshan's peak?'. Emperor Ganak says 'You wish to know of
Veeshans Peak?! You are either very brave or very foolish! There is nothing
there for the uninvited but a fiery death. I have been away from this plane of
existence for a long time yet still I feel the presence of the ancient wurms. I
am sure they sense my presence as well, being as I hold the only [key to the
chambers] of the Ring of Scale.'
You say, 'what about the key to the chambers?'. Emperor Ganak says 'I am not so
quick to grant someone the key to their death! If you truly wish your doom to
fall upon you so soon then bring me the three medallions of the fallen Iksar
tribes, Kylong, Obulus, and Jarsath. The tribes were long ago crushed by the
warriors of the Kunzar and their remains lye buried beneath ages of rubble.
Finding the lost medallions of my people will not be enough to prove your worthy
of entry into the fortress of the great wurms there is another task that you
must complete before you return the medallions.'
You say, 'what medallions?'. Emperor Ganak says 'There were five different
tribes of my people. The Kunzar, Kylong, Nathsar, Obulus, and Jarsath. Each of
these tribes had a medallion that represented it. If you can return to me the
Medallion of the Kunzar and Nathsar, I will give you the idol of Trakanon.'
You say, 'what task'. Emperor Ganak says 'Those who enter Veeshans Peak
uninvited by the lords of the Ring of Scale become nothing more than a snack for
the wurms that dwell within its halls. Once you cross the threshold of the Peak
there Is no escape. Any fool dedicated enough to locate the medallions can do
so, but it takes a truly mighty individual to slay the dragon that has plagued
my people for ages. I speak of the poison dragon Trakanon, the vile undead wurm
that has conquered my peoples greatest wurmslayers. Bring me proof of Trakanons
death with the medallions I request and I may deem you worthy of the key to the
Ring of Scale.'
The medallions of Kunzar and Nathsar drop from the Froglock Hunter and Forager
in Trakanon's Teeth. These Mobs spawn one after another, so they are fairly easy
to get. Turn in these two medallions and you should get the idol of Trakanon,
which will get you into Old Sebilis, where you can find Trakanon. (See Key to
Sebilis Quest for a full description)
The quest for Medallion of the Odulus is located in The Burning Woods. The quest
for the Medallion of the Kylong is located in the Lake of Ill Omen. The quest
for the Jarsarath Medallion is located in the Timorous Deep. The full
descriptions are detailed in each quest, and they also involve several
subquests. The links to each are to the left.
If you find a piece of medallion, be sure to identify it to see which medallion
it belongs to. Once you get all three medallions and Trakanon's tooth, turn them
in and you will get you the Key to Veeshan's Peak.
