Emm...a bucket!?

Vanish · Post by **Vanish** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 10:15 am

I found a "bucket" helmet in the desert, looks strange. Is there any "bucket" story about LUCK? And what does "+10% looking like a fool" means? Actrully looks foolish when I wear it, but is there any effect in game?

Randpo · Post by **Randpo** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 9:44 am

the full set is part of a secret quest, along with the mysterious stone tablet that the ??? guy drops when you slay him. my next post will be a *****spoiler****** explaining how to use these items, and where to aquire them.

Randpo · Post by **Randpo** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 9:54 am

None of the Mysterious set pieces are random. there are 3 total

This Quest will not show up in your quest log as it is a "Secret" quest.

Where to obtain the three set pieces

***BUCKET***

Take the teleporter to the Lost Valley of the Azunites in Act I. Then head east (Directly east) till you find the entrance to Arinth's prison. on your way towards Arinth's cell, look for a switch on the wall (Will be shown as a blue dot on your mini map). the switch will open a small room with a chest holding the Mysterious Bucket.

***TOKEN*** (Necklace)

In Aman'lu, talk to the Bar keeper and gain access to the arena via elevator in the back storage room behind the bar. Finish all of the challenges and collect your rewards for each level won. One of your rewards will be the token.

***BOOK***(Spell Book)

This piece of the set is a reward from the quest Lore of Aranna in Act III. To recieve this quest, talk to the Scholar in the north east corner of the third town. Most likely you will have picked up most of these books on the coarse of your travels, so it makes things a bit easier. this final set item will be awarded after collecting all the books listed below.

The books are located in the following areas:

Vol. 1 - Snowbrook Haven Living Quarters
Vol. 2 - Vai'Kesh Sanctuary, a short way from its southern exit.
Vol. 3 - In Aman'lu from Alar'ithil
Vol. 4 - In Aman'lu at Altorn Hall
Vol. 5 - In Aman'lu at Twylis's House
Vol. 6 - Eastern Greilyn Jungle, where you meet Vix
Vol. 7 - Windstone fortress, in the Western Gatehouse
Vol. 8 - Temple of Xeria
Vol. 9 - Temple of Xeria
Vol. 10 - In Aman'lu from Eolanda
Vol. 11 - In Aman'lu next to Eolanda
Vol. 12 - In Aman'lu Magic Shop
Vol. 13 - In Aman'lu Inn
Vol. 14 - In Aman'lu near Eolanda
Vol. 15 - In Aman'lu Magic Shop
Vol. 16 - In Kalrathia at north east side of town
Vol. 17 - *Ruins beneath Mushroom Circle in East Greilyn Jungle
Vol. 18 - *Ruins beneath Mushroom Circle in South Vai'lutra Forest
Vol. 19 - *Ruins beneath Mushroom Circle in South Garden of Ancients
Vol. 20 - *Ruins beneath Mushroom Circle in Ruins of okaym

*Books 17-20 Require Amren in your Party (Amren can be obtained in Aman'lu Inn)

The book will be awarded after you talk to the quest NPC TWICE upon finishing the quest. Talking to him once gets you nothing (Greedy Bish).

**** The Mysterious Stone Tablet is dropped by the ??? guy that appears randomly throughout the game. Slay him to recieve the mysterious stone tablet. this tablet is required to teleport to the Mysterious Area that makes use of the mysterious set.

After aquiring the 3 set pieces and the Mysterious Stone Tablet...

To actually teleport to the mysterious area, all you need is the mysterious stone tablet, and to enter the chant manually "columnarius sectorus" (press enter at any chant shrine and type columnarius sectorus, then press enter). You will be teleported to the mysterious area, but without the set pieces in hand, nothing can be acomplished here.

The bucket is required initially to open the first door. That leads to the first set of enemies which are lvl 40 prairie dogs. They can be fairly tough, especially if your level 35 or lower.

The book or token opens the next area, I forget which. This area holds evil versions of your whole party. They are all lvl 40 with 40k HP each (they arent limited to a grp of 4 either). Don't let their level fool you... they can easily rip you a new *******. After slaying your party twins the final set piece is required to be in inventory to proceeed in to the next area.

In the next area, you will see a bunch of friendly Npc's. none of them have anything important to say, except for 2 of them. One gives your trivia questions on Columbia which leads you to winning a sword. Another NPC give you a set of questions (that bastard), but he annoyed me, so I didn't stick around to get the reward (let me know if you get a reward).

When you come to the final door, you need to equip all 3 pieces of the mysterious set. Stand in front of the door and manually enter the chant "REQUO FURTIVUM IXO". This chant was derived from the numbers and letters on each of the set pieces. Inside the final room, you get tons of treasure and a few set pieces, and the bucket turns into a pumkin head..... I'm not too sure what to do with some of the treasure as they have useless stats on them, like +50 looking stupid.

Hi...

I think I may have sold the bucket.. I've been to Arinth's prison and looted everything and it's not in my inventory.. will it be in one of the shops I've sold it too?? cos I've noticed stuff you sell seems to disappear from the shops.

Randpo · Post by **Randpo** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 9:11 pm

if you killed all the evil versions and you have all three pieces of mysterious armor, then it is a bug. :x

its not the only place bugs of this nature have occured in the game for me, and countless others.

Randpo · Post by **Randpo** » Sat Aug 20, 2005 9:13 pm

wow, i know that if an item is related to a quest and is given to you by an NPC, that item is always available from the NPC in question as long as the quest is still unsolved. As for the bucket, that sucks man :x

Bubblegum · Post by **Bubblegum** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 12:42 am

If it's before the mad wizard then I've most probably found it and sold it.. if it's after opening the room with the wizard then I haven't as I've not found the last piece of the staff needed to set him free yet.. I'll just have to take more care next time

Bubblegum · Post by **Bubblegum** » Sun Aug 21, 2005 4:09 am

..'Oh! deep joy'.. just went back there and what do you know?? the one secret room I haddnt found... and it's the one with the bucket helmet in it...

I am sooo happy.

+ 10% looking like a fool... has creased me up

[QUOTE=BentleyIII]"this door seems to be magically linked to nearby creatures"[/QUOTE]
I've got the same problem as Bentley. I killed all the evil companions, and the door won't open. I had a tough time in the fight, wiping out a couple times, and I ended up retreating way back into the prairie dog area. So maybe killing the evil companions too far away from the door causes problems. Did anybody do a lot of retreating and still make it through?

Is there someone who knows a cheat code for that TOKEN from the arena? It seems i've sold that one.

Actually, I was ranning very fast and very away from them, and proceeded further with this door.

I think the problem might be running away and dying, and having some of the evil companions disappear. After I beat the game on mercenary, I went back and checked the Mysterious Cave again, and it had reset. So I was able to go through it the second time.

Of course, now it looks like you can only go into the treasure room of the Mysterious Cave once per character, and so now I'm wondering what happens if you go in there at the elite difficulty. Does that goblin guy stay and do something? Demand a golden chalice, maybe?
