The Dark Forest Walkthrough - Part 1
Posted
by: Vini
-- 1:00 AM EST
|
"The Dark Forest was once a battle ground long ago. Then an evil consumed the forest killing all that was living and resurrecting all that was dead."-Gongpo
A new event is out there as the Dark Hunters need your help to exterminate the zombie and werewolf menace. To reach their camp you need to Daesang near any inns. Upon reaching Hunter's Camp you'll find three hunter leaders: Sanyang, Gongpo and Hwasai. The last two ask you to talk to Sanyang first, the leader of the Dark Hunters. Sanyang:Sanyang tells us about "another war", but doesn't explain much beyond it. Ask him about "Protection and Dark creatures". He'll ask you to talk to Gongpo and get your first task at helping the Dark Hunters. Gongpo:Click Gongpo and listen to what he has to say. He'll ask you to slay 100 zombies. The zombies can be found at any of the 8 Dark forest passages that surround the camp. These zombies must be slayed ungrouped. To slay them will depend on how many hits you do, not on how much strength you have. It takes around 50 zaps/10 polearm swings. Vita attacks, hellfire, retribution won't do any aid. But be careful, their damage is 4% of your total vita. If you lose track of how many kills you had, you can check your progress by clicking Gongpo. Once you finish the task talk to Gongpo again. If you kill anymore zombies after it you'll get a new legend mark (anything above 100). Sanyang:Click Sanyang again. He'll now ask you to hunt Neugdae Ingan, a half man half wolf creature (werewolf). Sangyang explains that it's hard find Neugdae's Den so he suggests you to start killing his pack of dark wolves. Hwasai:Click Hwasai to get a bow and silver arrows. You can buy a short bow from him for 5,000 coins or bring your own. To create silver arrows you'll need 1 Silver ore per 10 arrows. Once you have silver arrows head back to Dark forest and hunt dark wolves. You don't need to use arrows to hunt wolves, you can hit them normally. Choose a room, walk around killing some wolves and you'll eventually get a popup showing Neugdae is furious at you. You'll fall at Neugdae's Den. After walking a bit, you'll hear another growl (popup) and Neugdae will show up.
He's cunning and brutal. You can try to fight him, but you won't win. When you're around 10% vita, you'll be saved by Gongpo before you die. You'll wake up at Hunter's Camp. Sanyang:Sangyang will explain you you were found badly wounded by Gongpo and asks you if dark wolves did it. You explain that actually, it was Neugdae. Sanyang seems surprised you encountered the werewolf already, but claims it makes sense for you to heal wounds so quickly. He explains you're cursed and gives you a Moon shard. If you use the Moon Shard you will turn into the werewolf and gain 25% HP/Mana bonus as well as 10% damage increase for 30 minutes. Yet, you won't be able to use your the shard again for 1 month. Citizens are stuck at this part of the hunt. We'll post here at Nexus Atlas as soon as we find next steps. ~Vini Normad'or~ ~Hyul 42, Moon 8~

Here's a the complete list of costumes you can grab from Spook's drops:
Also, there's a new scary place to hunt in, it's called " The Dark Hunter's camp". To access it you only need to head to one of the inns and click Daesang. Since the Dark Hunters are always moving their camp, he will request 1000 coins to give you the Hunter's camp current location. Once you reach Hunter's camp you can hunt two types of creatures: Walking Dead (Zombies) and Dark Wolves.
Here is a copy of the post by GM Stein on Dream Weaver's board: Happy Halloween -- Trick or treat is back! Help clear the kingdoms of the spooks and find some costumes The Dark Hunter event has begun. Speak to Daesang for more information outside of the inns A bug related to walking through a door while using a mount has been fixed The itemshop will be updated tomorrow

New Sage of Nagnang Eternal Order
Posted
by: Vini
-- 11:11 PM EST
|
When SloePoke took over as Primogen of Alizarin clan last August it created a situation of political "conflict" as a Primogen cannot hold the position of a minister. SloePoke was Sage of Eternal Order back then and Nagnang Sage's is equivalent to a Minister of Koguryo or Buya.
It took a while, but the Nagnang Government decided who would fill his shoes and become the new Sage: Sammasati Pitseleh .
Pitseleh is a member of K'urimja clan and have been member of Eternal Order two times. At this second time, she was bestowed with the trust of SloPoke, Nagnang clans and Prince ChaeRi to lead the Eternal Order.
Nexus Atlas congratulates Sage Pitseleh for her new position and wishes Primogen SloePoke good look with his duties devoted focused on Alizarin clan.

* The bug that some people were experiencing relating to receiving the etched weapons from Taik Pae has been fixed

Little Shop opened
Posted
by: Vini
-- 2:39 AM EST
|
A new shop was released today at Kinung east by Dashae (Taik Pae's wife) and Mananana, it's called "The Little Shop". To find it just head to Kinung at 082 070. Here's a copy of the post made on Whispering Winds by Dream Weaver Vyn: Taik Pae seems to be stuck and it's driving him mad. Whatever he is working on is sure to be a big project. Poor chap hasn't been out in days! Luckily, citizens took interest in him and made sure he is well fed with all those Walsuk Specials going around. But as hard as he is trying, It seems that all luck has left him. He sure could use a friend!
On the bright side, his love interest is a lot closer to home now! With help from Maiga and other newfound friends, Dashae along with Mananana found a nice spot to open up a shop. |
The purpose of the shop isn't very clear yet. It seems Dashae allows citizens to purchase Shoes of lavawalker for 150k or she can make one in trade of green squirrel, red fox fur, fine cloth and mica. Mananana offers to sharpen diamonds and wants a lot of money for them. She claims she'll use the money she earns to buy Gogoon. These are the options with her: Rough diamond ( lvl 1-49) 49,999 Coins Chiseled diamond (lvl 50-98) 99,999 Coins Faceted diamond (lvl 99+) 249,999 Coins Square-cut diamond (lvl Il san+) 449,999 Coins Emerald-cut diamond (lvl EE san+) 649,999 Coins Cushioned diamond (lvl Sam san+) 849,999 Coins Brilliant diamond (lvl Sa san+) 999,999 Coins
Be careful when clicking her since after you show interest in her diamonds and she lists the prices, she takes your money even if you don't want to pay it. The item won't go into your inventory, but she claims Taek Pae will probably find good use to the diamond.
Hopefully this diamond will help Taek Pae craft one of those shiny weapons.

A Royal Wedding
Posted
by: Vini
-- 1:56 AM EST

It seems that the widow of the tyrant Emperor Hamdal is finally getting hitched with the folkloric King of Kaya. As can be found on the Chronicles of the Winds, King SuroKim and Dowager Empress Jeewon have invited King Mhul, Princess Lasahn and Prince ChaeRi to participate of their wedding ceremony at a kayan city. Here's a copy of the invitation made by King SuroKim and future Queen Jeewon to the tri-kingdom royals that can be found on the COTW:
Prince ChaeRi, It is with most delight that I would like to invite you to return to Kaya to participate during the ceremony of my wedding with Jeewon. We would be most pleased to have the last offspring of the house of Sukaya.
Please accept our humble invitation. Posted by SuroKim | Dear Princess Lasahn and King M'hul, During my visits to your kingdoms I was welcomed with the most cordial receptions and I'm thankful for that. SuroKim and I would be most pleased if you could come to our wedding at Wanha.
Please accept our humble invitation. Posted by Jeewon |
Also, a copy of the invitation letter:
=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=
ROYAL CROWN OF KAYA
The House of Kim and House of Geumgwan proudly invite you to the Marriage of
His Royal Majesty King SuroKim
with
Dowager Empress Jeewon
at Wanha's Royal Chapel
on Hyul 43, Moon 4, 29th Sun at 11:00am.
Please, confirm presence. =<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>=<>= |
Despite the polite request of the kayan royals, BeffyCabeza, the Elder of Shamans did not take such invitation with much contentment. The Shaman elder, who is also a member of K’urimja council, made a public post to remind Prince ChaeRi of the possible dangers to return to the lands from where Yieta came. As she mentioned, the deaths of Prince Kija and Queen Filia are still not scabbed at the hearts and memories of nangen citizens. The elder implores that the Prince walks with caution and on guard while attend the wedding. None of the tri-kingdom royals made a public post confirming or denying presence to the Royal Wedding of Kaya yet.

Another shift at Covenant Primogenship
Posted
by: Vini
-- 11:25 PM EST
|
Last Saturday there was another shift in leadership of Covenant Clan, the 4th over the last four months. Primogeness Lauz has stepped down after two months of being elected and gave the position to Bhavana Inflamed.
When asked about the instability of leadership the clan has been experiencing, Inflamed was incisive in his answer. " I do vow that I'll stay for long time. I dedicate a LOT to this clan. Over the past weeks I've added 30 members to the clan and increased our hopes by a lot. I am here to keep us moving forward, the Covenant will remain strong. This will be a Covenant family no one has ever seen before", said the newly appointed Primogen. Inflamed is also a Poet tutor and a Carnage/Fox Hunt host. He has served as a member of the Eternal Order of Nagnang and been part of other nangen clans councils prior to Covenant. Perhaps the devotion of this Sa san Monk was what Covenant clan needed to get a continued work ahead. Nexus Atlas would congratulates Primogen Inflamed on his new position and wishes him good luck on his new endeavors. Also, a special thanks to Eyeless for informing me about this change via nmail. ~Vini Normad'or~ ~Hyul 43, Moon 3~
