Quest information[edit]

- Return to Reaper of the Twin Serpent Mountains for your reward.
Reward[edit]
- 10,000 Experience
Walkthrough[edit]
As soon as you take the quest the Slayer will spawn at the bottom of the hill and will move slowly towards the Reaper whom you need to defend. As there is enough room to maneuvre, make sure to do all fighting away from the Reaper. The Slayer itself should pose no threat, however after it will spawn four Keepers of Souls, four yellow Terrorweb Dryders and four silver Terrorweb Dryders. These groups will slowly advance to the Reaper simultaneously. It is possible to pull the Keepers of Souls forward to buy some time, but due to the close proximity of the groups this may instead cause all 12 dryders to follow.
In order to survive it is essential to spread the party out and negate the danger from AoE damage. The key to victory lies in the clustering of the dryders, where they easy to keep in check with AoE damage and skills like Panic. Due to the sheer number of dryders perfect clusters are hard to force, so deal with the situation as it develops and focus on dryders that are near each other.
It is possible to accept the quest reward after the death of the Slayer, but make sure you take out the groups of Keepers of Souls and Terrorweb Dryders before leaving. Otherwise, they will destroy the Reaper, causing your removal from the Underworld.

Dialogue[edit]
Initial dialogue[edit]
- Reaper of the Twin Serpent Mountains
- "These demons are relentless. I can see that they are preparing to attack me once again. My lord Grenth has granted me power over spirits, but I have no defense against the sort of bone creature they will likely use. If you have come to the underworld to gain favor with Grenth, then do not abandon our cause now."
- "Hurry down the path and destroy the Slayer before it reaches me."
Accept: "I will take care of it."
Decline: "This isn't my problem."
Ask: "Waiting here is not the wisest way to fight the Slayer. Go down the path and destroy it before it reaches me."
Reward dialogue[edit]
- Reaper of the Twin Serpent Mountains
- "The demons will not attack that way again soon. The Slayers are not easy creatures to create. I will inform my master of the aid you rendered to me."
