Secrets of a Used Skull  


This quest is initiated by examining the skull that you receive at the end of the Down to the Last Peacock quest. After this you must visit Antiquitor Kantus Mor'Tael in Maj'Dul ( -240, +135, +3 ). He will ask you to collect some wards in the Sinking Sands.

They look like Y shapes symbols jutting out of the ground. After obtaining each of them return to the Antiquator. He will send you out to examine the Deathknell Pyre in the Sinking Sands ( -603, -130, -1143 ). This is the rock with all of the unliving skeletons near it!

Once you examine the pyre you will need to kill 5 level 50+ skeletons within 3 minutes. This is very challenging without a group. There are Dry Bone Skeletons who are solo nearby, but you will be hard pressed to find 5 of them up at once. The best option is to kill the Unliving Skeletons who spawn near the Pyre, but they are heroic, so bring help.

After killing them you must examine the Pyre again. This will spawn The Ghost of Hadal. Speak to him and collect your reward. This opens up the A Final Note quest.
