The Dream Courts Quest/Spoiler

Requirements

 * Access to Tyrsung and Okolnir (take the Nibelor 2: Ecological Terrorism from the The Ice Islands Quest);
 * Access to Feyrist (Complete the );
 * Access to Meriana (Complete );
 * Relic Hunter rank in the The Explorer Society Quest to access Calassa as well as Diving Equipment;
 * A Ghostsilver Lantern from the Forgotten Knowledge Quest;
 * A Flask of Medusa's Ointment from The Cursed Crystal Quest;
 * A Broken Compass (found in The Extension Site or bought from Andrew Lyze for 10,000 gold);
 * 100,000 gold for the Unsafe Release mission.

Method
Find Myzzi to the northeast of Edron (she can move in a wide range and be anywhere north of Stonehome). Ask her about entrances, then yes.

Court of Summer
You can take the main mission of the quest from two different NPCs, the two Court Masters. Since the Summer Court is easier to access, it's recommended to go just there now.

The Summer Court can be accessed via a portal located to the northeast of Fae Village.

Go to the north and you'll find some stairs to a lower floor (you'll encounter many Crazed Winter Rearguards and Crazed Winter Vanguards on your way). There, you'll find NPC Vanys. Ask him for a task to receive a Dream Talisman.

Court of Winter
Find the portal at Tyrsung mountain.

Find NPC Undal on the second floor of the east side, he can also give you the mission given by Vanys.

Ward Stones
After talking to one of the Court Masters you will need to find 8 Ward Stones (4 Ice Ward Stones and  4 Sun Ward Stones) and use your Dream Talisman on them. The first 6 stones can be easily found and charged, but the final 2 Ward Stones will require additional missions before you can use your Talisman on them.

Unsafe Release
To charge this Ward Stone, go to Tiquanda and find Andrew Lyze south of Banuta.

Repairing the Compass

Ask Andrew Lyze about materials and he will help you fixing a Broken Compass, for this he will need 50 Blue Glass Plates, 15 Green Glass Plates and 5 Violet Glass Plates which you can loot from the Carnivors in the dungeon just by him.


 * Note: The Broken Compass is found in The Extension Site, for more information on how to get it check . You can also buy one from Andrew Lyze.

Charging the Compass

Once you have all Glass Plates, deliver them to Andrew Lyze (ask about materials) and he will trade your Broken Compass for a  Chargeable Compass. Now, in order to charge the compass you'll need more materials: 5 Blue Crystals, 3  Green Crystals and 1  Violet Crystal and a  Poison Gland.

Andrew Lyze will give you a Golden Axe which you have to use on  Crystal Column (first floor),  Green Crystal Stalagmites (second floor) and  Red Crystals (third floor) to get the colored crystals. All crystals can be found on all types of columns, however, the chance to find them varies according to the column type. The Poison Gland can be looted from a Lucifuga Aranea that spawns on the third floor of the cave when a player walks near one of its spawn points.


 * Note: the bait Andrew Lyze applies on you only lasts for 10 minutes, so if you take too long to look for the Lucifuga Aranea you'll have to reapply the bait for a 5000 gold fee.

Using the Compass

Again, after getting all materials talk to Andrew Lyze (say unleash). He will charge the compass for you so it becomes a violet Charged Compass. Use the Charged Compass on the Magic Portal just north of the hole down and you will be sent to a small room with a Brass-Shod Chest, which you should open for a valuable reward. Finally, go to the center of the third floor and use it on the Ward Stone to complete this part of the quest.


 * Note: Your compass will lose its charge after using it on the Ward Stone, but you can recharge it with Andrew Lyze at any time if you give him the one of the Crystals and pay 20,000 (blue), 50,000 (green) or 100,000 (violet) gold. For each type of charge you can use it on the Magic Portal again and take another reward, once every 20 hours, but this time the charge will be lost as well. The following items can be obtained from the chests:


 * Blue Charge: Ornate Locket, 2 Blue Gems or 2 Gold Ingots
 * Green Charge: Crunor Idol, 3 Green Gems or 5 Gold Ingots
 * Violet Charge: Bar of Gold, Dragon Figurine, 9 Gold Ingots

Haunted House
Upon investigating for the eighth Ward Stone, you'll find an abandoned house in the Outlaw Camp. The NPC Stricken Soul needs help getting rid of ghosts and for that you will have to restore the connection between 3 haunted places to open the passage to the Buried Cathedral.

The 3 haunted places are connected to each other by energy portals. After restoring the portals on both sides, you can use a Green Ectoplasm, Red Ectoplasm or Blue Ectoplasm to travel between them, the color corresponding to the location you're starting from (the Ectoplasm will be consumed).

Cellar
Enter the basement of the abandoned house and talk to the Stricken Soul, say yes, yes and then your name. Now, explore the basement and go to the south-eastern room where you'll find a skeleton between many Spider Eggs,. Use it to obtain a Strange Empty Bucket. You will have to fill it with ectoplasm. Use it on Mutated Eggs you can find all around the cave and it will slowly fill up.


 * Note: Not all attempts at filling will work out, you'll have to do it multiple times, from 5 to maybe 15 Mutated Eggs.
 * Note²: The Ectoplasm leaks through the bucket in 3, 2 or 1 minute depending on how full it is, so you can't take too long between Eggs or it will reset.

Because of the above, a good strategy is to start by clearing of the path from the skeleton to the north, then down to the second floor and part of that area. Once all creatures all that, double back and quickly use the bucket on all Eggs in your path. This should be enough to fill the bucket and reach the final part fast enough.

+ →  +  →  +  →

Once you have a Bucket Full of Ectoplasm, run back to the skeleton room, use the bucket on yourself (you will turn into a Slime) and then step in front of the door covered with Pure Energy to the east,. You should be teleported inside. This part is done.

Temple
The Haunted Temple is located north of Port Hope:

Down here you'll find many Thanatursus and Gazer Spectres. To restore the portals here you must kill Gazer Spectres and loot Golden Idols of Tukh. You'll need 4 Idols, and since they expire 10 minutes after being dropped and are a semi-rare drop you'll need to kill the Spectres quickly. After obtaining all 4 Idols, go to the north-western part of the cave and downstairs.

Go to the (Warning: the Vines that grow on the hallway will cause damage proportional to the character's level (up to 5000 damage or even more) if you step on them while they are growing! Move carefully and slowly. Mages should wear an Energy Ring or cast Magic Shield.). In the main room there will be 4 slots to place the 4 Idols. Use the Idols on them and a red message should appear informing you about your success.

Tomb
The Haunted Tomb is located west of Darashia, around here:

This mission is very simple. Around the cave, you'll find several Sarcophagus covered in Ectoplasm. Upon using them, one of three things may happen:

1. Everyone in the room takes 50-600 Earth Damage and a Mummy spawns

2. Everyone in the room is Cursed and a Mummy spawns (

3. You find a Strangely Ornamented Key.

You need to find 2 keys, and there is a 30 seconds cooldown before you can use a Sarcophagus again. Note that the Keys will vanish after 30 minutes. After getting 2 keys, go to the center of the dungeon where you'll find two Large Pillars With a Lock. Use the Pillars on one of the Keys to be sent to the small room north of them. Inside this room, you'll find an Onyx on a small stand. Use it to complete the mission and be sent outside again.

Buried Cathedral
Now that you have restored all portals, you can access the Buried Cathedral. To do so, go back to the Haunted Cellar under the Outlaw Camp and go to the room you accessed while being covered in ectoplasm. Enter the green Magic Forcefield.

You'll now have to find out the 4 words of the spell guarding the place. The following route is recommended:


 * 1) From the entrance, go north-west then follow the path south and north again to find the stairs down. Inside a room just next to the stairs on the second floor, pick up the Acid Resistant Fishing Rod from a pile of rubbish.
 * 2) Walk south and go down again to the third floor. Go west and then south where there is a big acid pool. Use the Fishing Rod on it to find the first word (K'muuh).
 * 3) Go back to the second floor and go east to the room with water barrels. Use the barrel on the north-east corner of the room (O'kteth).
 * 4) Go south and then follow the hallway north until you find a statue. Use it to find the third word (N'ogalu).
 * 5) Go through the door east all the way to the end of the hallway, then north and back west. The fourth word is found hidden in a bed in the last room to the north.



After having found all for words go around the western side of the Catedral until you find a location where you can levitate down to the main wing. Use the big books there in the following order:


 * 1) North-west;
 * 2) South-east;
 * 3) South-west;
 * 4) North-east.

Doing that will send you to a room with a lever and spot for up to 5 players to fight a miniboss, the Faceless Bane. Killing it is very straightforward: initially, it will heal all damage taken. To stop its healing, step on all Iron Floors around the room and then start attacking the boss. It will eventually summon one of each spectre, heal completely and start healing again. Just repeat this process until it's dead.

After defeating the Faceless Bane, go to the Ward Stone of the Cathedral (third floor just north of the acid pool, ) and use it.

The Seven Keys
Once you have charged all 8 Ward Stones, you'll gain access to the Dream Labyrinth, which can be accessed by two different portals in the Summer and Winter Courts. In here you'll have to solve 7 puzzles to go through 7 different doors. There is no required order for most of them, however, following the map below is probably the optimal route to save time and supplies.

Before starting, make sure every party member have the following items:


 * A Ghostsilver Lantern (from the Forgotten Knowledge Quest).
 * A Flask of Medusa's Ointment (from The Cursed Crystal Quest).
 * A Magical Paint : You'll need Sapphire Dust (use a Small Enchanted Amethyst on the  Wooden Grinder near Milos) and a Sun Fruit  (drop them from Summer Dreamelves). Use a Juice Squeezer on the Sun Fruit to get a Bottle of Sun Fruit Juice, add then use the Sapphire Dust on it to obtain a Bottle of Sun Fruit Juice (Sapphire) . Finally, mix it with a Dream Essence Egg.
 * Note: The Sun Fruits can also be collected from Sun Fruit Bushes inside the Labyrinth, however, you'll only get 2 Fruits and there is a long cooldown before the bush can be harvested again. Thus, if you need more than 2 it's recommended to loot them beforehand or during the quest.

1. Go to the Court of Summer and then pick a Colourful Mushroom from the Tree Stump (Feyrist) outside, and the Anatomy Book  from a bookshelf inside. Go up to the next floor, and the go up again to the second floor. Pick up theRosebush from a chest by the portal.



2. Follow the path south. Use the Rosebush on the Small Earth Heap  on the floor. Go in and out the portal at the center of this room.



3. Go back north and go downstairs.



4. Go west, then south and east. Use a Secret Agent tool or a Crowbar on the door to take an Old Lock. Go back to the north towards a quest door. Use the Flask of Medusa's Ointment on it and you should be allowed to pass. Follow the map below to the west until you find a wall. Use it and you should be able to pass if you're carrying a Ghostsilver Lantern. Go upstairs.



5. Go west and enter the small room to take the Troll Skull. Now go back east, then south and east and follow the map to the small room north-east. Finish preparing your Magical Paint if you haven't done so yet and use it on the painting on the wall.


 * Note: This painting also works as a portal between this area and the mixed area to the south.



6. Go back the way you came from and enter the portal to the Winter Court. Go down one floor and pick up the Orc Skull there. Go back to the Dream Labyrinth through the portal upstairs.



7. Follow the map north-east and go down the stairs.



8. Follow the path west, then south until a quest door east. Continue east an then north to a room with Coffins. Use the Skulls on their respective Coffins (you must have the Anatomy Book with you) and go through the door. Follow the path and use the Old Lock on the quest door. Now just follow the path south-west until you find a portal.



9. Walk south to the center of the room where you'll find a Mosaic which is a portal to the Dream Scar.


 * Note: Be careful, the portal south of this small room will take you back to the Labyrinth, but it's a one-only trip and you'll have to walk back or leave if you enter it.



Doors Summary
If one of the quest doors fails for you, it means you didn't solve one of the puzzles correclty. You can check your quest log and the requirements of each door below:


 * 1. The Door with Roses: You need a Rosebush (found near the portal of the Summer Court, ), use it on the spot with a missing plat in the Labyrinth's small garden.


 * 2. The Invisible Door: You need a Ghostsilver Lantern (from the Forgotten Knowledge Quest).


 * 3. The Stone Door: You need a Flask of Medusa's Ointment (from The Cursed Crystal Quest).


 * 4. The Painted Door: You need a Magical Paint. Use the paint on the painting in a room north-east of the Labyrinth to complete the puzzle.


 * 5. The Ice Bird Door: You need to eat a Colourful Mushroom.


 * 6. The Skull Door: You need an Anatomy Book, an  Orc Skull a  Troll Skull and a  Minotaur Skull. With the Anatomy Book in your inventory, use the tree skulls on the three coffins, each one on its matching position.


 * 7. The Empty Door: You need an Old Lock. Use the Old Lock on the Empty Door and you'll be able to open it.

The Dream Scar
Your goal now is to defeat some champions of the Battle Scar to gain deeper access. Each day (based on the Server Save), a different boss will be available to be fought with a team of up to 5 players. Before fighting, you must talk to one of the two Dreamelves and join their side to fight under their flag.

The following bosses can be fought in the Dream Scar:


 * Izcandar the Banished
 * Plagueroot
 * Maxxenius
 * Alptramun
 * Malofur Mangrinder

Izcandar

Izcandar has three forms: Summer (Fire), Winter (Ice) and Banished (Neutral?). It will change forms depending on the side of the arena it is, always going through the Banished form between Summer and Winter. Since both Fire and Ice summons will constantly spawn and get healed by their element's attack, Earth, Energy, Holy and Physical damage are recommended against her.

Plagueroot

Maxxenius

There are two points to be aware of when fighting Maxxenius:


 * 1) Maxxenius is healed by Energy Damage, so this element shouldn't be used by players. Furthermore, there are Generators that constantly use an Energy spell around them, and the outter tiles of the room will also pulsate with an energy spell. Thus, Maxxenius must be blocked away from these fields. The north-west area of the room is ideal for that.


 * 1) During the fight, Maxxenius will frequently transform its target in an Energy Elemental. About 10 seconds after the transformation, the player will "explode" dealing 1000-1500 energy damage around him (2 fields radius). Thus, in order to avoid healing the boss, this player should move away from it. This can be done easily if there are 2 Knights and the one that isn't transformed Challenges Maxxenius so the other one can run away.

Alptramun

Alptramun will appear with several summons. These summons, if killed, will be replaced by even stronger summons, up to a point where the summons will also heal the boss. Thus, initially it's recommended to use mostly single-target attacks to reduce the Alptramun's health. Area attacks can be used as long as the summons aren't killed (they vanish and reappear with full health every 30 seconds or so).

Once Alptramun's health is about to be depleted, it will become Invulnerable. It's currently unclear exactly what is necessary to make it vulnerable, but it's known to be related to having killed all the summons or having one specific type of summon alive.

Malofur Mangrinder

The Nightmare Beast
After having 5 wins at the Dream Scar you'll be allowed past a teleport found south-west of the Arena.

The final boss of the quest is The Nightmare Beast which can be fought by a team of up to 10 players. This fight requires a well coordinate team as other final bosses do.

Not long after entering the room, one of the players will be Cursed and transformed into a Spectre. This curse must be removed from the player, otherwise he will be teleported out of the room after 25 seconds (15 seconds as a Spectre and then 10 seconds as a Phantasm).

To remove the curse, someone from the team must use the Dream Catcher Pole at the center of the room. A Dream Catcher will appear in front of it. The mask must then be used on the cursed player (but it's not possible to cure itself). When this is done, the curse may be removed or transferred to whomever tried to cure it.

Note that there are cooldowns for both actions: getting a mask and using a mask on another player. Thus, in order to succeed the players have to take turns in curing each other.

There will also be several tentacles in the room that must be kept far from The Nightmare Beast, so having at least a second blocker for that is recommended.
