''This is the level 59 quest involving [[Arios the Battered]]. Players must have completed [[Arios the Battered 57]] before beginning this quest. This quest continues the conflict against [[Sarek the Betrayer]], the [[Anvil of Sarek]], and the forces tied to [[Geomancer's Citadel]].''

== Requirements ==

Players must complete [[Arios the Battered 57]] before beginning this quest.

Players should also still have the weapon repaired during [[Arios the Battered 55]], as it is used to debuff the [[Anvil of Sarek]].

== Walkthrough ==

=== Step 1: Speak with Arios the Battered ===

Speak with [[Arios the Battered]] near the bridge south of [[Forkwatch]].

He sends you to recover two key halves from [[Terran Caretaker]] mobs.

One [[Terran Caretaker]] can be found in [[Geomancer's Pass]] (N), near the pass bridge by the [[Anvil of Sarek]].

The other [[Terran Caretaker]] roams through [[Elemental Towers]] (SW) or [[Elemental Towers]] (W).

Defeat both [[Terran Caretaker]] mobs, loot the key halves, and return to [[Arios the Battered]].

=== Step 2: Approach the Anvil of Sarek ===

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to approach the [[Anvil of Sarek]] in [[Geomancer's Pass]] (N).

Approach slowly until you receive a pop-up. Choose one of the dialogue options to advance the quest.

After receiving the update, return to [[Arios the Battered]].

=== Step 3: Find Informant Liarah ===

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to [[Cape Dreg]] to find [[Informant Liarah]].

Make sure the key is in your inventory before searching for her.

Bring 20,000 Tunar to advance the quest.

[[Informant Liarah]] spawns for short periods of time on the small islands in [[Cape Dreg]]. She has been found in [[Cape Dreg]] (E), on the two islands north of the pirate ship. She has also been found on the island where [[Cedric]] is located.

Killing enemies on the nearby islands may help reset the spawns and give [[Informant Liarah]] another chance to appear.

'''Important:''' Click through her dialogue quickly. If she despawns before the conversation is finished, the quest may not advance.

=== Step 4: Recover the Three Lost Pages ===

[[Informant Liarah]] tells you to recover three lost pages.

The required pages are:

* [[Discarded Page #176]] from Kejekan mobs in [[Stonebrunt Mountains]] (C).
* [[Discarded Page #112]] from Kerran mobs on [[Kerra Isle]].
* [[Discarded Page #201]] from an [[Obsidian Assassin]] in [[Geomancer's Citadel]].

The [[Obsidian Assassin]] usually spawns on the western side of [[Geomancer's Citadel]].

Collect all three pages and return to [[Arios the Battered]].

=== Step 5: Defeat the Anvil of Sarek ===

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to defeat the [[Anvil of Sarek]].

Bring the weapon repaired during [[Arios the Battered 55]] to debuff him. Different versions of the weapon may apply different debuffs, so it is useful to have a healer, caster, tank, and melee version available if possible.

At first, the [[Anvil of Sarek]] may be unattackable. The questor must approach and interact with him to begin the text sequence.

The questor may be hit by a very large bolt during this process. If this happens, resurrect back while invisible and move out of range when possible. Continue the sequence until the [[Anvil of Sarek]] becomes attackable.

Defeat the [[Anvil of Sarek]]. When he dies, the questor receives a pop-up that advances the quest.

Return to [[Arios the Battered]].

'''Note:''' If the questor dies and the [[Anvil of Sarek]] is killed, the questor can resurrect back and still receive the pop-up needed to advance the quest.

== Optional Pre-Farming ==

The next several steps can be farmed ahead of time and turned in to [[Arios the Battered]] together. These mobs are not quest-triggered.

=== Step 6: Collect Two Earthen Dryad Hearts ===

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to collect two hearts from [[Earthen Dryad]] mobs.

[[Earthen Dryad]] mobs spawn near the constructs in the northern half of [[Geomancer's Citadel]].

Defeat [[Earthen Dryad]] mobs until you have two hearts, then return to [[Arios the Battered]].

=== Step 7: Defeat the Sarek Keeper ===

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to defeat the [[Sarek Keeper]].

The [[Sarek Keeper]] spawns on the bridge in [[Geomancer's Citadel]], at the construct gate between the two normal camp spots.

Defeat the [[Sarek Keeper]] and loot the [[Geode Talisman]].

Use the [[Geode Talisman]] to combine it with the fused dryad hearts, then return to [[Arios the Battered]].

=== Step 8: Collect the Archon Hearts ===

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to collect two archon hearts.

The required enemies are:

* [[Archon Aereth]]
* [[Archon Vetash]]

Both archons spawn in the towers near the constructs in [[Geomancer's Citadel]].

Defeat [[Archon Aereth]] and [[Archon Vetash]], loot their hearts, and combine them with the geode.

Return to [[Arios the Battered]] with the updated geode.

=== Step 9: Defeat Thornmage Lirial ===

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to defeat [[Thornmage Lirial]].

[[Thornmage Lirial]] spawns on the main floor of [[Toxxulia's Lair]] in [[South Toxxulia]] (S).

He has several possible spawn locations:

* The main chamber where the tunnels branch off.
* Down the first tunnel to the left.
* Down the second tunnel to the left.

Defeat [[Thornmage Lirial]], loot the [[Channeling Stone]], and return to [[Arios the Battered]].

=== Step 10: Receive the Activated Geode Talisman ===

[[Arios the Battered]] gives you an activated [[Geode Talisman]] with 36 charges.

The talisman can be used to port you and your group to the tower where the quest-spawned [[Sarek the Betrayer]] is located in [[Geomancer's Citadel]] (N).

'''Important:''' The questor should port last. [[Sarek the Betrayer]] spawns when the player with the quest ports into the tower.

=== Step 11: Defeat Sarek the Betrayer ===

Use the activated [[Geode Talisman]] to reach the tower in [[Geomancer's Citadel]] (N).

This is the quest-spawned version of [[Sarek the Betrayer]], located in a different tower than the random spawn version.

This version is easier and can be defeated by one group of level 60 players.

Defeat [[Sarek the Betrayer]].

After he dies, [[Archon Seradesh]] spawns.

Speak with [[Archon Seradesh]], then return to [[Arios the Battered]].

'''Note:''' The only way out of this tower is to return home.

=== Step 12: Receive Zaoran Brotherhood Faction ===

Return to [[Arios the Battered]].

Speaking with him grants 1,000 faction with the [[Zaoran Brotherhood]].

Before leaving, speak with [[Arios the Battered]] again to receive another 1,000 faction with the [[Zaoran Brotherhood]].

[[Arios the Battered]] then sends you to speak with [[Arcanablade Zerin]].

=== Step 13: Speak with Arcanablade Zerin ===

[[Arcanablade Zerin]] can be found on a cyclopian bridge south of [[Urglunt's Wall]] in [[Urglunt's Gate]] (C).

Speak with [[Arcanablade Zerin]].

Speaking with him costs 1,000 faction with the [[Zaoran Brotherhood]].

After the dialogue, you must defeat him.

=== Step 14: Defeat Arcanablade Zerin ===

Defeat [[Arcanablade Zerin]] and loot his head.

Resistances are recommended, as [[Arcanablade Zerin]] can be difficult without them.

Return to [[Arios the Battered]] with [[Arcanablade Zerin]]'s head.

=== Step 15: Speak with the Rallosian Arbiter ===

When you return to [[Arios the Battered]] and speak with him, he ports you to a secret location.

There, speak with the [[Rallosian Arbiter]].

The [[Rallosian Arbiter]] summons [[Arios the Battered]] for you to fight.

=== Step 16: Defeat Arios the Battered ===

Defeat [[Arios the Battered]].

He cons yellow at level 60 and fights like a caster. He can be soloed by a prepared player.

After defeating him, speak with the [[Rallosian Arbiter]] again to complete the quest.

Completing the quest rewards 100,000,000 XP, a class-specific item, and the [[Token of Rathe]].

Your [[Zaoran Brotherhood]] faction is adjusted again by -10.

== Lore ==

[[Arios the Battered]] claims to be an old Rallosian general and a follower of [[Rallos Zek]], the God of War.

He seeks to correct the betrayal of [[Sarek the Betrayer]], once a head general of the Rallosian armies. Through a pact involving several gods, including the Rathe Council, [[Sarek the Betrayer]] betrayed his troops in exchange for immortality and demigodhood.

Some of his troops were sent to [[Envar]] to die, while others were transformed into constructs of fire and earth through geomancy.

[[Sarek the Betrayer]] was a geomancer by practice, but a rogue in character. After stealing many treasures from the gods, he was stripped of his demigodhood and imprisoned within [[Geomancer's Citadel]], a fortress of living stone.

Across the Arios questline, players weaken [[Sarek the Betrayer]] by removing his sources of power before finally defeating him.

After [[Sarek the Betrayer]] is defeated, [[Arios the Battered]] sends players to [[Arcanablade Zerin]], who is revealed to be part of an order of highly trained knights tied to the [[Zaoran Brotherhood]]. [[Arcanablade Zerin]] attempts to kill the player because they know too much.

When the player returns, [[Arios the Battered]] reveals his deeper connection to the Zaoran order and sends the player before the [[Rallosian Arbiter]], who resolves the matter by ordering the player to defeat [[Arios the Battered]].

== Notes ==

* [[Arios the Battered 57]] must be completed before this quest can be started.
* Keep the repaired weapon from [[Arios the Battered 55]], as it is used to debuff the [[Anvil of Sarek]].
* Make sure key items are in your inventory and not in your bank when seeking pop-ups or quest NPCs.
* [[Informant Liarah]] despawns quickly, so complete her dialogue fast.
* The three lost pages can be farmed before returning to [[Arios the Battered]].
* Steps involving [[Earthen Dryad]], [[Sarek Keeper]], [[Archon Aereth]], [[Archon Vetash]], and [[Thornmage Lirial]] can be pre-farmed.
* The questor should use the activated [[Geode Talisman]] last when porting to [[Sarek the Betrayer]].
* The quest-spawned [[Sarek the Betrayer]] is different from the random spawn version.
* [[Arcanablade Zerin]] costs [[Zaoran Brotherhood]] faction when spoken to.
* The final encounter with [[Arios the Battered]] occurs in a secret location after speaking with the [[Rallosian Arbiter]].
