Background
You’ll receive this quest from Prospector Albain in Aman’lu
(Aman’lu, #12), provided you have Deru in
your party when you talk to him.
Walkthrough
Albain will tell you that he hasn’t had much luck being a prospector, and that he hasn’t been able
to figure out the clues on his treasure map. He’ll even go so far as to call the treasure map a
“parchment of lies” and say that he’s ready to retire and become a barkeep instead. As a result,
if you ask him for it, he’ll gladly give up his prospector’s key (Quest Item 40) and his
prospector’s map (Map 6).
If you look at the map, the “X” spot should look familiar, as it’s located at Razka’s Ruins in the
Southern Greilyn Jungle
(S/E Greilyn Jungle, #8). If you go
to the ruins, you’ll find an elevator there, which will take you down into an underground chamber.
There you’ll find a door marked with an “X,” which the prospector’s key will unlock. In the
rooms beyond, you’ll find some containers to loot, plus a big chest containing a silver
riddle-inscribed key (Quest Item 12) and Razka’s Riddle (Book 5).
This first riddle reads, “Use the key in the frozen heart of the corrupted forest.” You’ll come
across the “heart” -- actually a cave -- in Arinth’s Ravine
(Arinth’s Ravine, #3). In the back of
the cave, beyond a locked door (which you’ll need the silver riddle-inscribed key to unlock),
you’ll discover another big chest. The chest won’t contain the treasure, but it will provide you
with a golden riddle-inscribed key (Quest Item 56) and Razka’s Second Riddle (Book 29).
The second riddle reads, “Seek water in the heart of the desert.” You’ll discover the water in a
Magical Oasis in the Northern Plain of Tears
(The Northern Plain of Tears,
#8). At the oasis you’ll encounter yet another locked door (which you’ll need the golden
riddle-inscribed key to unlock), but beyond it you’ll finally find the promised treasure chest.
The chest will likely contain at least one unique or set item, but it won't provide an abundance of
riches. Deru will sound sort of disappointed, but that’s how the quest will end.
