The Friar's Niece
- Entrance/Exit
- North Wing Switch
- Note
This is the first quest in The Catacombs series. The point of the quest is to find evidence of the Friar's missing niece. Expect oozes and zombies to block your path.
You start at the Entrance (marker #1). proceed south and west into the west wing and go all the way down to the end to the North wing Switch (marker #2). There is a shrine in here if you got too hurt on the way over. Shouldn't have been too much trouble, just oozes and zombies in the way.
Now that the north wing gate is up, head on up to the Note (marker #3). Once you find the note, pick it up, and head back to the Exit (marker #1). This will finish the quest.
The two other chests in the zone are behind locked doors that require a rogue to lockpick to open.
This quest can be run in less than a minute if you know where you are going. Since you do not necessarily have to fight anything, you can easily run past all the monsters and just hit the doors and switches to work through the quest. Since you are interrupted while trying to use a switch or open a door when a monster hits you, you may want 1 or more other helpers. Here's how to do it super fast:
Designate the 2 highest AC people as Trainers, and 2 people as Users, and everyone else will always stay at the entrance. The first Trainer will run to the North Wing Switch (marker #2) aggroing everything in the way. The first User will follow behind him, keeping a distance so that he does not gain aggro. This way the User can open the door and use the switch that opens the gate to the north wing.
The second Trainer and User proceed up the north wing from the Entrance where they had been waiting, and the second Trainer aggroes all along the way toward the Note (marker #3), and the second User opens the door and grabs the Note. Immediately after this happens, since others are still at the Entrance/Exit, your quest will finish (after you grab the Note, you are instructed to head back to the Exit). Everyone run back to the Exit and zone out. Since the zone is not very big, it will take less than a minute to finish this.
For finishing this quest, and talking to the Friar outside the Catacombs, you will recieve 20 gold and the next quest in the Catacomb series, Return to the Sanctuary.
