The rumor for the quest can be purchased from
Brother Gonun in Shoushi for 14p. The directions lead you to the
Green Mire Grave, north
of Shoushi at 27.8S, 71.6E.
The rumor also mentions a nearby
Mosswart
Camp where you may find an
Ice Tachi.
The Grave is full of
Mosswarts,
including, Mudlurks,
Barkers,
Shamans and
Chiefs. In addition, you'll encounter some
Drudge Slaves, a
Dark Wisp and a
Ghost Wisp.
Map:
Green Mire Grave
Once inside, you'll need to find (surprise,
surprise) ...a few keys! Each of the four wings of the
dungeon must be explored before you can retrieve your prize.
The first key, the Worn Key, is found in the South Wing.
Follow the passage around to the right until you
come to a large room with
Mudlurk Mosswarts
and a
Drudge Slave. The key is on the
Slave.
You'll also find a note lying on the floor next to a corpse.
Rumor:
Personal
Note
The second key, the Short Key, is found in the
North wing. Head down a corridor until you come to a room with a few
Mosswarts. The key is on the
Barker Mosswart.
You'll also find a note lying on the ground with a few hints about exploring
the dungeon.
Rumor:
Piece of
Parchment
You'll next need the Short Key to open
a door in the upper level of the East wing, where the Yari can be round. The
East wing can be confusing because you begin with a maze-like area. From the
entrance area, keep heading straight until you find yourself in a small room
with a door to your east, south, north and west. Take the door to the south,
then keep east, then north. You're looking for a passage down a long hall.
You'll know you're heading in the right direction when you spot another note
lying in the ground.
Rumor:
Piece
of Parchment
At the end of the long hall, you'll
find a ramp going up with a locked door at top
(Resistance 154).
Use your Short Key (north wing) to open it! Go up another ramp and make a
left at the T. Continue heading up until you reach the large open room. The
Large Key is found on a
Mudlurk Mosswart,
guarded by a Dark Wisp!
You'll also be fighting
Mosswart Shamans.
While you're there, explore the room a
bit. You'll find two chests in an alcove. The right one can be opened by the
Worn Key from the south wing and contains the Green Mire Yari, a Tachi and a
Yoroi Breastplate! In the middle of the room, you'll also find a coffin
where the Green Mire Warrior was laid to rest.
Next, head back down to the main room
(portal recall if you like) and head towards the West wing.You'll
need both the Large Key and the Worn Key
to complete this section. At the first split make a left, then bear to the
right down the ramp. Make a left heading east at
the four way intersection and you'll see see two cells with gated
doors. Use your Large Key on the door to the right (Resistance 82). Inside
the cell you'll find a chest. Use your Worn Key to open the chest. You'll never guess what's inside the chest.
That's right ...a KEY!
The next key you'll need is the
Silver Key, found
in the lower level of the West Wing. You'll be using the Simple Key
from the prison cell to
gain access to the lower level of the dungeon where the Cuirass resides.
Head back to the 4 way intersection and this time go west until you reach a
locked door (Resistance 158). Use the Simple Key to open it. Follow the
ramps down until you reach the large open room with the greenish glow, full
of Shamans, a
Ghost Wisp
and a Mosswart
Chief! Kill the
Chief for the
Silver Key.
The Silver Key opens the
chest containing the Green Mire Cuirass. When it's your turn, be
careful! The chest itself is trapped and will cast some Level IV icky spells on you. In addition to the Green Mire Yoroi Cuirass, the chest also contains a nice looking (totally useless) crown.
Note: If
you have lockpick, you can go directly to the armor and Yari.
There's a 6th Key, simply described as Key,
that can also be found in the West wing. To reach the
key, make a right at the split from the entry room, then left up the ramp.
At the 4 way split, keep to the right until you reach a room with Shamans
and Mudlurks.
The key is on a
Mudlurk. The chest it used to open, however, (the far end of the west
wing) is now unlocked, so the key is simply an artifact of the old quest,
prior to its update during the
Mirror,
Mirror event.
