Quests

1. At the start of the run the Dying Watchman lies beside the abbey door. Talk to him. He gasps out his warning and dies.
2. On depth 2, find a slaughter room behind a single door, hung with chains. The Gravedigger waits inside.
3. Kill him. He drops The Gravedigger's Cleaver, and the quest is done.

You do not need the watchman. Killing the Gravedigger finishes the quest either way. Tostig has advice for the fight:

Big, slow, and he swings that cleaver like he is splitting wood. Do not trade blows with him in the open. Hold a doorway and make him come to you. I have seen ogres die that way.

1. Once you have been down to depth 1, talk to Brother Ansel. He fears the town's water is poisoned at its source.
2. On depth 2, find the breach where the floor gave way, with four candles around a stair. It leads down to the Tainted Wellspring.
3. Kill every monster in the Wellspring. When the last one dies the water clears, and the quest is done.
4. Return to Ansel for the Ring of the Penitent.

You may enter the Wellspring before Ansel asks. Clearing it still counts, and he still pays.

1. Once you have been down to depth 2, talk to Osric the Innkeeper. He tells you of the mad king beneath the abbey.
2. On depth 3, a pillared vestibule with a carpet runner leads to the stair down to the Tomb of the Hollow King.
3. In the tomb, pull the lever in a side chapel. It opens the sealed treasury beside the throne hall, where a large chest holds three magic items or spell books.
4. Kill the Hollow King on his throne. He drops the Crown of the Hollow King, and the quest is done.
5. Tell Osric. He has thanks for you, but no further reward.

Entering the tomb before Osric asks starts the quest too.

1. Mewlik the Craven waits somewhere on depth 4. Click him to talk instead of attacking. He begs for mercy, and the quest begins.
2. Walk away until he is out of sight, then come back and talk again. He hands over a gift, an item rolled like a boss drop.
3. Leave and return once more. He says the better gift is not ready yet.
4. Leave and return a last time. This gift is his blade, and he attacks. Kill him. He drops a magic mace, and the quest is done.

Attacking him at once skips the gift, but he still drops the mace.

1. Once you have been down to depth 3, talk to Osric the Innkeeper. Imps tore down the sign of his inn.
2. On depth 4, Snivelgut waits in an antechamber between two sealed rooms. Click him to talk. He offers a deal: the sign sits in a warded chest his imps cannot open, and he unseals the closet that holds it.
3. Open the large chest in the closet and take the Inn Signboard.
4. Give the sign to Osric. He hangs it back up and gives you the Mourner's Cowl. The next time you visit depth 4, the sealed hall stands open and Snivelgut's clan attacks.

You can give the sign to Snivelgut instead. That also ends the quest, but there is no reward and the whole clan attacks at once. Do not kill Snivelgut before he has spoken. The chest stays sealed until he has, and the quest can no longer be finished.

1. Once you have been down to depth 4, talk to Tostig the Smith. He wants the star the monks hid below.
2. On depth 5, the Fallen Starstone rests on a stand in a small pillared alcove. Take it.
3. Bring it to Tostig. He forges the Band of the Fallen Star on the spot.

If you pick up the Fallen Starstone before Tostig has asked for it, talk to Tostig twice. The first time he only makes his request. The second time he takes it.

1. On depth 5, find a reliquary hall with three Martyr's Pedestals around a sealed vault. Read the Chronicle of the Last Paladin there. A Martyr's Heartstone appears beside the book.
2. Set the heartstone on a pedestal. A second stone appears next to an empty pedestal. Set it, then the third.
3. When the third stone is in place the vault opens. Pick up the Mantle of the Last Paladin to finish the quest.

1. On depth 6, find a chapel strewn with bones. The Ossuary Codex stands before a sealed wall. Read it, and the wall opens on the stair down to the Ossuary.
2. Inside, follow the ring corridor to the reliquary at the centre and read the Moldering Grimoire.
3. It teaches you Guardian, or raises it one level up to 15, and a Guardian appears near the book at once. The quest is done.
4. A long crawl from one of the bone halls leads to a hidden treasure vault. Its large chest holds three magic items or spell books.

1. The Tome of the Sightless lies somewhere on depth 7. Read it, and the Eye of the Sightless appears at the far end of the Sightless Halls.
2. The halls are a maze of pillars haunted by Illusion Weavers. Make your way to the spot farthest from their entrance.
3. Pick up the Eye of the Sightless. The quest is done.

The amulet only appears once the tome has been read.

1. On depth 8, find a long library hall with bookcases set into its walls. Talk to Orzath. He gives you a random spell book and tells you to leave.
2. Walk out of sight and come back, or take a book from his bookcase. Either way he flies into a rage and attacks.
3. Kill him to finish the quest. The bookcase holds a spell book of its own.

1. On depth 9, a fungal grotto with two pools hides the Tome of Rot on a mound of rubble. Take it to Sabine the Witch.
2. She sends you back for a Rotcap. Harvest the Rotcap Patch in the same grotto. It refuses you until she has read the tome.
3. Give the Rotcap Mushroom to Sabine. Her brew needs a second ingredient, and Brother Ansel has asked for a demon's brain.
4. The next ordinary monster to die, anywhere, drops a Festering Brain. Bring it to Ansel. He brews the Elixir of the Grave and sets it at his feet.
5. Show the elixir to Sabine. She lets you keep it, and the quest is done. Only now can you drink it.

1. Once you have been down to depth 9, talk to Tostig the Smith. He tells you of the anvil the saint's chains were forged on.
2. On depth 10, the Anvil of Embers lies on an island in a lava lake, reached by a narrow winding causeway. Take it.
3. Bring it to Tostig. He forges the Emberwrought Edge.

If you pick up the Anvil of Embers before Tostig has asked for it, talk to Tostig twice. The first time he only makes his request. The second time he takes it.

1. The Iron-Bound Codex lies somewhere on depth 13. Reading it starts the quest.
2. The Crimson Warmaster holds a war hall with a throne dais, guarded by Steel Lords. When he sees you he speaks, then attacks.
3. Kill him to finish the quest. Then search the armour stands and weapon racks along his walls.

Killing him finishes the quest even if you never found the codex.

1. On depth 14, Ser Calden waits in a quiet chapel. Talk to him. He asks for the Elixir of Absolution.
2. Go down to depth 15. The next time you arrive there, the elixir lies somewhere on that level. Pick it up.
3. Bring it back to Ser Calden. He leaves you his helm, Iron Penance, and finds his rest. The quest is done.

Ser Calden never attacks. If you kill him, his helm is lost and the quest can no longer be finished.

1. On depth 15, a round ritual chamber holds a blood pentagram and a Profane Lectern. Use the lectern, and the Staff of the Betrayer appears beside it. Take it.
2. Bring the staff to Elder Enoch. He names the Betrayer.
3. Return to depth 15. A red portal now burns on the pentagram. Step in to reach Vossarin's Sanctum.
4. Walk up to Vossarin. He preaches, then his sanctum opens, and so do the side chapels where Sister Mauvreth and Sister Kesh wait.
5. Kill Vossarin. The quest is done. A red portal opens back to depth 15, and the stairs down to depth 16 appear on that level.
6. Tell Enoch, and he records the last quest. You may go down without him.

This quest is in every run, and it is the only way down. The stairs from depth 15 to depth 16 appear only once Vossarin is dead.

1. Take the stairs from depth 15 down to depth 16.
2. Vorthax the Unmaker waits in a fortress at the centre of the level. Seals bar the ring corridor around his throne chamber. Each skull lever opens the next seal, and the fourth opens the door to his throne.
3. Kill Vorthax. Every other monster on the level dies with him.
4. The victory screen offers the next difficulty: a new world for the same hero.
