Lavastorm 55

Quest Name: Lavastorm 55
Level: 55+
Class: All
Quest NPC: Minastickie
Location: Lavastorm


Speak with Minastikie, who can be found in the Lavastorm Mountains SE. She instructs you to talk with Prof. Ceryk in Milas Reef N.

Prof. Ceryk instructs you to speak with Chief Terican in The Hunt NW. He asks that you return to him with a horn from a Monstrous Rhino, which can be found in The Hunt C.

The Monstrous Rhino is similar to a raging rhino. It is under conned and very difficult. Even a group composed of a Faithful and Defender will find this mob challenging.

The Chief sends you back to Prof. Ceryk, who then sends you to Quintashi's Lair in Abysmal Sea NW. The entrance to his underwater cavern can be found in Abysmal Sea W. Be sure to bring some level 51 alchemist potions or a bard with hold-breath spells before going in. Once inside his lair, head for a tunnel at the back of a large (above water) room. The popup will teleport you to an underwater room if you answer "yes" to the question it asks. Swim along the floor toward the tall tower. Near a large seashell, you should get another popup telling you that you are being ambushed. This spawns some Dark Ritualist Scouts, however, if you have invis, you will likely not get attacked. One will con yellow to a 60, while the others will con white. Kill the yellow one (they are far enough apart that you can easily pull them separately), and return to Prof. Ceryk in Mila's Reef with the loot.

Ceryk sends you to Exploring Aid Mixxa in Klick'Anon. The aid sends you back to Minastikie. She then instructs you to kill the Fire Goblin General. He is spawned by a pop-up in the citadel in Lavastorm N. Return to Minastikie with the loot.

Minastikie then sends you back into Lavastorm and Solusek Eye in search of 4 random pop-ups, each of which gives you an item. Map to popups [new map 4/09].Search
*Lavastorm S SE for the compass;
*Lavastorm N for the blanket;
*Soluseks' Eye S or Lavastorm SW for the rations; and
*Sol Eye N for gyropick.
Return to Minastikie with the items.

Minastikie then sends you back to Prof where you discover he has been poisoned, and his map stolen. You are instructed to speak with Merchant Dwindel in Hagley for a possible cure. Dwindel asks for 12,000 tunar and that you kill a Paradise Basilisk. The Basilisk can be found roaming in Sylhilthis' Dwell C, W, or NW. It is a difficult mob, and requires the aid of a group. Dwindel also requires 3 scales from an Abrosian Snapper, which can be found along the coast in Warrens S and C. Return to Dwindel with the items.

Dwindel sends you back to Ceryk where you recieve your reward
