Secrets of Runnyeye

go to final mob and after u kill take a screenshot and submit, sony will update quest

the key is still required to enter the Runnyeye's chef room. The quest is validated when you leave the instance, true but you still cannot access the throne room.

Yes, its true. You no longer need this quest to get into the instances zones.

Dont bother with runnyeye b if you are 45+. There will be no chest and key drop from the duke instance to get you into the room with the lord. Bummer:(

can any1 help plz went to the location (-62,0,-142)and still couldnt find pudle of gunk,is this right place

I started this quest with a group of 3, a 40 Fury, 39 Chanter and me a 42 Guardian. We had to break up right before you talk to the Duke and go into the Throne room. I came back a few days later and talked to the Duke and now I am at the Throne Room door and the quest isnt' updating?

Apparently the Key drops from a chest! I have killed Valt Curator Ashuk 2 times now, ( he is grey ) and no key to proceed! Sux

Consider the location of the stack of books (+205,-41,-138) confirmed

Is fixed now. Spoke to Junk Heap today 09 March 2005 and quest log updated ok.

It seems to be broken at this moment. The junk heap in the chefs room doesnt respond to hailing.

did quest, got about 4% xp all and all in the end for finish. Otherwise no other reward. we nvr exited thro other door, but quest says finished..so access was for the throne room then?

I've finished this quest and done both instances. After you kill the books you are rewarded with a lore no drop book. Read it and then talk to the Duke agian. Then you are instructed to go and find the door that leads to the throne room. (forget loc) After you find it, it will update your quest and the quest is finished (kind of). The door is then clickable and you zone in. Everyone in group has to have it finished to enter. First room on left you need to go in. Its a bank room for all I can tell and ther is two mino's with a chest in between the. Kill them and the duke spawns behind you and a giant sea goblin and a bunch of minions are with him. They have this instance talk among themselves and the goblin kills the duke and then attacks you. He was easily wiped with a group of 6 34 - 36's and he drops some ok armor and a key. The key is needed once you leave the room to go up the spiral walkway to open the door. Once you go in you are now in the throne room with the lord. Some waves of monsters, agian, killed easily by my group. Then the lord attacks you. He dies pretty easily and the duke (wasn't he killed?) returns and tells you he was just the begining of the evil in runnyeye and that the lord of the eyes is the true evil and he needs to be killed. Go down the spiral walkway and zone out and then fight your way past miners, all the way to the end of the zone just before the room with the disc to zone out. There is a door that was shut by order of the lord and now he is dead so yah.... Your group can now enter this room and its another instance. It looks the same as the rest of RE with hallways and doors. Follow the hallways until you get to a hole in the floor, go through it and u'll have to kill 2 eyes in there. The hole will drop u off into a giant circular room with a eye passing around it, kill it and if your not blind you should be able to see the lord eye. He was killed pretty fast and had ok look. The duke reappears and says now that the evil is gone you can reap your reward. He asks if you want your reward now or later and once you press now you are ported back to the zone in between The Enchanted Lands and Runnyeye, oh he people at SOE are soooooo funny. :P

The books are found down the tunnel past the Dinning Hall (just behind the Chef) they are a tiny stack of books near the forge on the left as you enter this room. You will need to clear all aggro in the room first then read all the books in the stack.

This will spawn several smaller books that are non aggro that you need to kill in order to progress the quest.

There are more steps after this including speaking to the Duke (named eye that roams this area) and finding a door to the throne room but I forget the detail on those, I will update it as I remember.

The hammerhead minotaur can be found past the butcher in runnyeye. He is a fairly common spawn and may be triggerable, not sure. He is lvl 38 and is alone.
