[edit] Walkthrough
At the start of this mission Battle Priest Calibos will greet you and run to the top of the island. He will remain there assisting your party with some healing and smiting. Spread out on the sea are Luxon Adepts. Killing them will give your team a morale boost, points, and the effect Rage of the Sea. Foes will come in waves that progressively get harder. Each wave consist of a number of groups that will be a mixture of foes specified in the table. Each group spawns in a different location and will move towards Battle Priest Calibos.
| Wave | Points for defeating | Foes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +5 | Outcast Warrior, Outcast Deathhand, Outcast Assassin, Outcast Ritualist |
| 2 | +5 | Naga Warrior, Naga Archer, Naga Ritualist |
| 3 | +5 | Leviathan Claw, Leviathan Mouth, Leviathan Eye |
| 4 - 5 | +5 | Naga Warrior, Naga Archer, Naga Ritualist, Leviathan Claw, Leviathan Mouth, Leviathan Eye, Oni, Kraken Spawn, Saltspray Dragon |
| 6 | +5 |
There is no time limit during this mission, however, if Battle Priest Calibos dies, this mission ends.
Points can be obtained by only three ways. The first way is by automatically gaining a hold-out bonus of 2 points every minute. The second way is by killing Luxon Adepts. Their worth starts at 3 points and increases by 3 points every 3 minutes. You can be view their current worth in the quest log where it states the time bonus. The third way is by completely defeating a wave.
[edit] Skill recommendation
- Since a morale boost is gained each time a Luxon Adept is killed,
Resurrection Signet or 
Sunspear Rebirth Signet is a good choice for resurrecting party members.
- There will be plenty of corpses to exploit for animating skills and wells.

[edit] Trivia
- This mission was named after the guild Zealots of Shiverpeak [ZoS]. As part of the reward for the hard work of a select number of Zealots on the Factions official strategy guide, ArenaNet named the challenge mission in honor of the guild. Note that the guild Amazon Basin received an equal reward in having the challenge mission Amatz Basin named after them.
