"ok, im kinda confused, i have spoken to the ghost, gone to master vismer, given him the ring, recievedt he band of earth, and now it says

"step 7, learn the words of power that will manifest the roman undead"

what the heck is that supposed to mean????"


I was kind of thrown off by this as well. This is basically the intro to La Morti Parla which is step 7. It also tells you if you read the text in the dialogue box (which I failed to do at first, it just doesn't update your journal). So just start La Morti Parla from there and you'll be on the right track.

My step 5 sends me to the Summoning Circle in Salisbury Plains, not in Cornwall. This was updated in Patch 1.75:

I did this step of the quest as a 16th level Sorcerer. I charmed a wood ogre seer (yellow con) as a pet. I went down through the field to the east of the roman road. There are very few mobs in that field, and they are easily avoided without stealth. At points along the road there are pairs of skeleton guards, which conned orange to me at level 16. At the bend in the road, which is northeast of the tower, there is a point at which there is a single skeleton guard which also conned orange to me. My pet and I were easily able to kill this single guard and cross the road. However, when I was leaving later, I decided to try to slip across the road between two sets of guards to see if I could cross without them attacking me, and I succeeded, so it was not necessary to fight the guard I killed on the way there. I could have gotten there and back without ever striking a blow.

Once across the road near the bend, there are several purple mobs (purple at level 16) in the area between the road and the tower, including pigs, big cats, and giant skeletons, but they are spread out enough that you can avoid them with care unstealthed. I made it to the tower and climbed up to the top to make sure I did not get any wandering aggro while waiting for night to fall, though this probably would not have been a problem. The mobs do not seem to path that closely to the tower. Waiting for night to fall was the toughest part of this process(oh, the boredom).

Note that I had to descend to the first floor of the tower to summon the spirit of the unspoken. The summoning did not work when I tried it on the roof.

When you first click on the spirit, it seems that the spirit does not respond, as no dialog box appears on your screen. This is because the spirit's first words appear in your normal chat window. The dialog box does not appear until you ask about the list.

One final, irrelevant observation. In the walk-through above, the author states that "there is no evidence of a summoning circle anymore." There never was a "summoning circle." The instruction was that the incantation must be performed within a "ring of stones." The circular tower is built of stones. The tower itself is the "ring of stones." This is also stated by Brother Darren at Vetusta Abbey. This information is absolutely useless in solving the quest. I just thought it amusing that they hid that little riddle within the structure of the quest. One might be expecting to find a set of standing stones in a circle, as appear in so many places in the landscape, but they are not related to this quest at all.

Most of this quest is tedious travel, but getting to the tower is the fun part. I enjoyed it lots. I managed to get there and back without drawing aggro of any mobs. the trick is playing it smart, oh and going to catacombs and then to the tower was an easier path :P

Gingerbreadd Mann lvl 17 minstrel on merlin.

When i somehow lost the ring, i appealed it as a emergency, i got it replaced by a GM within 7 mins =)
As for all epic quest, they are crappy set up. If you are a minstrel i suggest you wait with epic quest till you have the mach2 speed song, makes it alot easier.

All the write-ups are about Minstrels... What about the precise steps for Wizards?

See King Constatine's scribe? Like, where?

I think I can see why most wizzies tell me they wait til level 40+ to do the epics.

i must talk to veral i know he is in camelot but where inside camelot?

Asking a lvl 15 to go to Cornwall and pass thru all the mobs there to get to lost tower ?

I went twice and got killed. tried all the suggestion that ppl have posted but still, got killed. I think i lost more exp than what i'll gain after i get it done.

The worst thing is, all the gaint roosters are now aggressive to people. They used to be neutual.
If i'm not mistaken they con yellow to lvl 35 or higher. i got killed by hitting me once

WTH are they asking lvl 15 go there to do a quest ? hate it ! i'm going with my theurgiest tomorrow to guard my lvl 15. What a quest !

I got to Scribe Veral, now what do i say to get him to talk to me?

Did the epic quest with my minstrel (lvl 15) yesterday. This is a long and possible dangerous
quest. I travelled for a long time on a horse and by foot to go from one place to another pfff.

Avalon Marsh where the tower is is a place with lots of purple monsters to me. I must say I was lucky to find the tower right away without getting
spotted by mobs. Followed the road, didn't took the
left turn towards the catacombs but kept running
and avoiding monsters a bit further. At some point
took a left turn (used stealth because lots of goblins, bears and lions were close) over the hill and walked straight to the tower. Waited till midnight talked to the spirit and got the hell out of that place. Got a nice flute from master vismer.
Anyway this quest takes a long time and is quit
dangerous at lvl 15.

I got this quest obviously at 15 as a Sorcerer. I decided to give it a try.

I spent the better part of 2 hours running all over the country side on a horse.

Getting to The Lost Tower in Cornwall was a pain. Everything there was very purple to me. I was however able to sneak to the tower and get there just before day break unscathed. I did the little talking/summoning thing.

Getting back to Cornwall Station was harder. I pulled a nice train but was able to run like hell to get away.

I ended up getting 115,920 EXP plus the Bracelt. Which IMO isn't that great. The EXP gave me ~3/5 of a line. Not bad but 1 bubble would have been nicer. :)

There needed to be at least more EXP or EXP/$$.

Anyone know what the Minstrel reward for this quest is?

I've got to question the sanity of Mythic on this one. Sending a level 15 character into Cornwall is little more than suicide, as everything you have to make it past is at least Yellow to you and most is stone cold purple. I mean- Rooters? Giant Skeletons? OK- maybe you can sneak past them, but then again you are trying to sneak past stuff that is 10+ levels above you. In my case, I waited until level 20 to do it and STILl got obliterated by a rooter/Skellie combo (doesn't take many 150 point hits). Bad concept-bad reward.

i just wanna say i HAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEE quest that i have to wait till night HAAAAAATTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

This is one of the epic quests. Thueurgists are members of the Defenders of Albion and would not recieve it.

i might be dumb and annoying, but can anyone tell me exactly what i need to do specifically for step-7 learn the words that will manifest the roman undead

Did you take the ring to Brother Darren in the Abbey? He instructs you to go to Lethantis (take a horse from west camelot gates to Camp Forest)and speak to Olorustos. You should receive a "list" in your backpack along with the ring. Remember, you have to actually /say list, etc to the NPC, to get a response. Clicking on them doesn't work. It tells you to "ask".

could someone pls tell me what i need to do to complete the quest, i had already received the band of earth and theres still a step7- learn the words that will manifest the roman undead. had i done anything wrong? i tried to talk to vismer and ferowl and nothing happens. worst of all i couldnt received the la morti parla quest?

i saw a question raised in an earlier thread about step 7 for the scura tragedia quest. i had the same problem about not knowing how to "learn the words that has the power the bring the roman undead(or something like that). i received the quest item-the ring of earth and i thought the quest was over. its obviously not over and i cant proceed with my lvl20 epic from master vismar. much help needed.

another concerened wiz

When you find that path leading south from the main road in Cornwall, don't follow it; there are paired Skeletal Centurions at regular intervals along the road. Instead, follow the ridge wall all the way south until you come to the southernmost zone wall. Watch out for Moor Boogeys & such! Follow the zone wall to the right, you will see a small tower off to your left. That's the proper tower. When you walk into it, you get a <Region> change, & are told "You have entered a summoning tower." Say the words, talk to the ghost & say "List", then wait a bit. Once it's all done, & you'll know when it is, just head back to Camelot & get your reward from Vismer.

If you're looking at a tower that's surrounded by Giant Skeletons & other purple aggros, just west of the villa, you're at the wrong one. Keep going south, & you will see another tower; it's much easier to get to, as there are only a few mobs in the area. The ring that Wizards get is very very nice, & I'm happy I've finally got this quest behind me!

thx tresette for the reply.
im stuck for as i talk to vismer, he has nothing to say to me and hence i cant start the la morti quest. i think i might appeal.

thx anyway

where can i find Olorustos guys im having great difficlulty finding him and need to as he tells me where tower is and lets me continue on my epic quest...any help would be much appreciated

Had that problem myself for 2 weeks now, finally got an answer.
Step #7 of "Scura tragedia" is relatet to "La morti parla" Quest. Once you got to step #6 of "La morta" then "scura" will be at step #8.

Good Luck
Tresette

COULD ANYONE EXPLAIN THE 7TH STEP, I'M LVL40 NOW AND STILL CANT DO MY EPIC QUESTS
