This is a unique hidden optional quest with no npc providing a start to the quest. There are many different outcomes to the quest depending on the steps you take and the outcome triggered determines the reward you receive. The rewards vary from nothing for the worse or no outcome to 7.2 million xp, 5 sockets and an epic weapon for the best outcome.
<i>I have met some interesting people in Gortrin Passage, and learned much of what transpired here in the past. Tiko lives, but is still trapped here in Gortrin. I wonder if this could have turned out better. </i>
 
   
This is a unique optional quest that can grant large XP rewards. The quest is repeatable by resetting it with a [[Gortrin Hourglass]], though you can only earn each of the eight different rewards once. It is a mystery you can slowly unravel, with a variety of outcomes depending on the choices you make, similar to the Choose Your Own Adventure books.
+
If you fail to achieve the Outcome you want then you can reset the quest and repeat it by using a [[Gortrin Hourglass]] while stood on the teleport pad in Gortrin. However, the reward for each outcome is only given once. If you achieve the same outcome a second time you will receive no reward. You can repeat the reset process using the Hourglass as many times as you wish. The Gortrin Hourglass is a very rare drop from mobs in Gortrin Passage.
   
Warning: The Walkthrough section is a giant spoiler. Consider trying to solve the mystery and complete the quest on your own at least once before reading it! It will require much running around the zone to find clues from either items or the NPCs. <h2>Prerequisite</h2>See "Walkthrough" section for details on how to start this quest.<h2>NPC</h2>

<h2>Extra Info</h2>
  +
[[Raza]] - She is the most powerful and will kill Gerald/Fen and Tiko if she is given their location. She also prevents these 2 from leaving the Passage.
This is a quest with different outcomes, ie is different on xp and other rewards. The description itself tells you if you have made the best choice or if you should've have done better.
 
   
  +
[[Gerald|Gerald/Fen]] - He cannot kill Raza alone but is a dark magic user and will turn Tiko into a zombie if he is given his location. He is trapped in the passage by Raza and can only escape if Raza is dead.
There are 8 different possibilities, but be aware that all are NOT correct at this moment :
 
  +
  +
[[Tiko]] - He is the least powerful and is also trapped in the Passage by Raza. He needs to escape alive but to achieve this you need to kill Raza.
  +
  +
[[Half of Raza's Phylactery]] - This is the source of Raza's power but is also her achilles' heel.
  +
 
At every stage, pay attention to what you say to the NPCs! If you don't like the option given, choose to leave and return when you have more clues. (In general, it will be safe to tell one NPC about the existence of another, but for the better endings, do not tell them about where they are.)

Revision as of 20:46, 6 April 2022

PLEASE NOTE: The information posted at this wiki about this or any quest are done so by players. They might or might not be 100% correct and should be looked upon as a guide, not an absolute.

Following an extensive review of outcomes for this quest between December 2021 and March 2022, 7 outcomes were found to generate a successful quest journal entry and reward. Several were found to give no reward or create a journal entry and a few were not tested.

Overview

The Unfolding Tale
Details
Level 87
Type Side quest
Location Gortrin Passage

The Unfolding Tale is a Quest in Villagers & Heroes.

This is a unique hidden optional quest with no npc providing a start to the quest. There are many different outcomes to the quest depending on the steps you take and the outcome triggered determines the reward you receive. The rewards vary from nothing for the worse or no outcome to 7.2 million xp, 5 sockets and an epic weapon for the best outcome.

If you fail to achieve the Outcome you want then you can reset the quest and repeat it by using a Gortrin Hourglass while stood on the teleport pad in Gortrin. However, the reward for each outcome is only given once. If you achieve the same outcome a second time you will receive no reward. You can repeat the reset process using the Hourglass as many times as you wish. The Gortrin Hourglass is a very rare drop from mobs in Gortrin Passage.

Warning: The Walkthrough section is a giant spoiler. Consider trying to solve the mystery and complete the quest on your own at least once before reading it! It will require much running around the zone to find clues from either items or the NPCs.

Prerequisite

See Walkthrough section for details on how to start this quest.

NPCs

Extra Info

Raza - She is the most powerful and will kill Gerald/Fen and Tiko if she is given their location. She also prevents these 2 from leaving the Passage.

Gerald/Fen - He cannot kill Raza alone but is a dark magic user and will turn Tiko into a zombie if he is given his location. He is trapped in the passage by Raza and can only escape if Raza is dead.

Tiko - He is the least powerful and is also trapped in the Passage by Raza. He needs to escape alive but to achieve this you need to kill Raza.

Half of Raza's Phylactery - This is the source of Raza's power but is also her achilles' heel.

At every stage, pay attention to what you say to the NPCs! If you don't like the option given, choose to leave and return when you have more clues. (In general, it will be safe to tell one NPC about the existence of another, but for the better endings, do not tell them about where they are.)

Objectives

  • The objective will vary depending on the outcome you wish to achieve. See the walkthrough for details.

Rewards

  • The reward varies depending on the outcome achieved.

Walkthrough

From this point there is a lot of information to enable the player to work out how to achieve the outcome they wish. After that there is a spoiler which shows the steps to achieve each outcome.

The following steps are required for every outcome and must be done in order:

  1. Pick up the Handwritten Note at G4 and read it (on the ground in front of the portal to Zorian Marshland). You only need to do this the first time you do the quest and may have already done this as part of the main quest line. This will allow you to pick up items from the lootable containers on the map that progress the story.
  2. Kill zombies until they drop (you need 1 of each)

These items may drop but are not required:

3. Pick up page of Architect's Plans (G7, at the bounties Wartot & Ardima, in an 'Old Pack' near the railing on the east side). This triggers the appearance of Raza but don't visit her yet.

4. Tillothy's Journal - Page 3 at B5 (in SW corner of South alcove)

5. Tillothy's Journal - Page 6 on the railing at E4 (on East side near bounty Smattin) - the page is about not being able to find any records of the structures in Gortrin; triggers another dialogue option from Raza about the architect.

6. Tillothy's Journal - Page 7 on the floor at D3 (just to the East of bounty Bord)

7. Tillothy's Journal - Page 11 at the north side of C4 (behind bounty Slashick) - the page is about disappearing builders and Gerard; triggers 'Discarded Letter' to appear.

8. Tillothy's Journal - Page 17 on floor in B3 (NE of bounty Rachina)

9. Tillothy's Journal - Page 19 C6 on the floor (just North of bounty Tortrin)

10. Tillothy's Journal - Page 22 B5 floor to the north - after picking this up, the 'Old Journal' may appear (check that it doesn't appear earlier)

11. Tillothy's Journal - Page 23 floor D4 (east of bounty Slickbit)

12. Old Love Letter (F4, SE side on ground near Yezz, from a 'Discarded Letter')

13. Tillothy's Journal - Page 25 H6 on floor (East of bounty Posendun)

14. Musty Journal (D7, near the mushrooms, from an 'Old Journal' in the hand of a skeleton corpse on the ground)

15. Go to Raza and speak to her about everything. When the conversation ends re-start it and continue this loop until the only option left is "Bye" and no further conversation with her is possible. This triggers the appearance of Woman's Hair Adornment and Scroll of Obliterate.

16. Pick up Woman's Hair Adornment (E6, in a 'Shiny Mud Pile' at the side of the smallest pond). This triggers the appearance of Tiko.

17. Pick up Scroll of Obliterate (F8, in a pile of loose rocks just East of bounty Krinks). This triggers the appearance of Gerald.

If you do not wish to work out yourself what to do next then skip to the Spoiler below and follow the steps for the Outcome you wish to achieve.
