General Info

Each of the Pharaohs drop a special item, and each one is different. When a pharaoh is defeated, a teleport appears in the room. The player that goes through this teleport with the special item will be taken to a treasure room to get one part of the Helmet of the Ancients from a quest box. Any player that goes through the teleport without the special item, will be teleported to the entrance of the tomb. This means that if 5 people want to do the quest as a team, they will need to defeat each Pharaoh 5 times.

The pharaohs are deep beneath the Ankrahmun Desert, each in their own tomb. You can enter the tombs by using a Shovel repeatedly on the hidden entrance of each. At the bottom of the tombs will be an empty coal basin, and a Mystic Flame. Stand on the flame, and place a Scarab Coin on the coal basin to be teleported to the deeper parts of the tomb.

Each tomb has a different puzzle and different creatures you must go through to reach the pharaoh. Creatures you will face in the deeper tombs range from Scarabs, Beholders, Bonebeasts and Vampires to Lichs, Ancient Scarabs and Priestesses and even Demons.

Once you have all of the pieces to the helmet, you must work your way through the final tomb to join them into the Helmet of the Ancients.

Method

You can kill pharaohs in random order but Ashmunrah must be killed at end becouse he's protecting chamber where you can merge all parts of helmet. You will need: plenty of Scarab Coins,

Mahrdis

Enter to Mahrdis tomb is located here:
File:Helmet of the Ancients Quest-Mahrdis 1.gif
Go fast to level -5 of tomb and move a little to west to get level -6. Go south to blue fire and Coal Basin. Step on that fire and put one Scarab Coin into Coal Basin. When you will be teleported into deeper tomb go down, than a bit into west and go down too. Now proceed into west and north to end of corridor then a little bit into west and now fully into north. Kill all monsters and proceed into teleport. Now go up in spiral tower (lvl 80 Experience Gate) and go forward. In a while you must pass room with Purple Fire on floor like that:

One rule here: If you step into fire you will lose 300 hp so move only on "cold" squares. If fire will fire below you when you already on "cold" square you will not lose any hp so don't hurry.

Now you are standing near teleport to Mahrdis room. Prepare to face: Dragon Lord, 2 Dragons, summoned Fire Elementals and of course Mahrdis. When you defeat boss take Burning Heart go through teleport and take a part of Helmet of the Ancients - Helmet Ornament.

Rahemos

Enter to Rahemos tomb is located here:

Go fast to level -4 and proceed to east to end of corridor and go south to get level -5. Now go a bit into south and west to find blue fire and Coal Basin. Step on that fire and put one Scarab Coin into Coal Basin. When you will be teleported into deeper tomb, go down, and proceed north. On second crossroad move west , go forward to the end of corridor and go down. Now proceed south-west. In last room on that floor can be hot - many Beholders, Green Djinns, Gargoyles, Vampires, Warlock and some other quiet easy monsters. If they're dead go throught teleport. Pass Experience Gate (level 80). In first room you will see something like that:

You need to use levers to get a Carrot to be able to go through the next door. Each fault will cost you 200 hp but you can make it in one move (use marked level) (remember to start from that position). Now go through the door and try to move against walls some of the walls let you go through. Go past the room with doors and walk over the lava from the left side of the broken bridge. After this you only have to face goblins that looks like demons in a room like this: File:Demongoblins.jpg

Now you are standing near teleport to Rahemos room. Prepare to face: Demon, Warlock and of course Rahemos. When you defeat boss take Ancient Rune go through teleport and take a part of Helmet of the Ancients - Helmet Piece.

End Note

To make the helmet a Full Helmet of the Ancients, you need to place a Small Ruby on the helmet. Each ruby will only last a limited amount of time (30 minutes) in the helmet, but there are rumors of a special gem that will last forever.
