[edit] Walkthrough

The bog is a bit of a maze, constructed of blocked entrances and circular paths, particularly if you wish to pursue the bonus. Keep an eye on your map to avoid becoming lost.

From where you spawn in the mission, go through the first entrance you come across to the right. Here you will find Ironfist's Envoy (1 on map). Kill them and take their clothes so you play the mission looking like a corsair. Take the closest entrance and walk to the south-east until you find Captain Besuz (2). Talk to him and he will lead you to the rendezvous point to meet Kahyet - all the while bossing you around and generally being unpleasant. Follow him through groups of Skale, and as you get closer and enter the structure to the south-west, you will encounter a group of Harpies.

General Kahyet (3) will arrive and you must kill her to complete the mission.

[edit] Bonus

To complete the bonus at Master level, you have to find and kill 5 Rinkhal Monitors. Completing the bonus is simple but time consuming. The first is to the south of the envoy. Two are to the north of where you meet up with Captain Besuz - go south and take the first left after talking to him and from there, take the path that leads north. Besuz will wait for you until you are ready to proceed. After killing those two, follow Captain Besuz until you reach the first point where the path narrows and you meet with 3 corsair NPCs (see the notes section below regarding them). Besuz will go left, but instead you will go right while following the right wall, to find the last of the monitors. Back track to rejoin Besuz to continue the mission.

[edit] Notes

  • Be aware that if you talk to One-Eyed Rugger (one of the 3 corsair NPCs you will come across), you will become drunk. The warped-screen effect persists until you complete the mission. Note that this does not contribute to the Drunkard title. This can be removed by disabling the "Enable post-process effects" in the options panel.
  • Since completing this mission will send you to the Sunspear Great Hall, if your party consists of henchmen and heroes, you may end up with a party size greater than that allowed in the Sunspear Great Hall (i.e. 4). You can get a party size of 8 if you bring the four henchmen available in the Sunspear Great Hall (i.e. Kihm, Herta, Sogolon & Gehraz) into this mission.
  • When in Corsair Disguise, male characters will do ranger emotes and female characters will do dervish emotes instead of the ones for their profession. Even with Divine Aura unlocked for an account, emotes in disguise will not display any particle effects.
  • Zhed Shadowhoof, Ogden Stonehealer and Vekk will not receive the Corsair Disguise effect.
  • Jora and Pyre Fierceshot can also receive the Corsair Disguise effect.
