π The Quest is a role-specific branch where the player returns to their homeland to defeat their nemesis, retrieve their class artifact, and earn the Bell of Opening.
Location: Branches from the Dungeons of Doom via a magic portal between levels 11 and 14. The branch is 5 or 6 levels deep.
Message upon entering the portal level in the Dungeons of Doom: "You receive a faint telepathic message fromβ¦" (followed by a message from your Quest Leader).
π Second Level Entry Requirements
To enter the second level of the Quest, you must meet three conditions:
- Experience Level 14: You must be at least level 14. If you are lower, the Quest Leader will turn you away.
- Alignment: You must still follow your original alignment (e.g., you must not be wearing a helm of opposite alignment) and must not have permanently converted to a different one.
- Approval: You must visit your Quest Leader on the Home level and receive their blessing.
βΉοΈ Characteristics
The Quest consists of 5 or 6 levels, entirely tailored to your character's class.
- Home Level: The starting point, featuring your Quest Leader, friendly guards, and usually a temple.
- Upper/Lower Filler Levels: Intermediate levels filled with role-specific monsters. (If the Quest is 6 levels deep, an extra Lower Filler level is generated between the Locate and Goal levels.)
- Locate Level: A specific midpoint level where the flavor text indicates you are getting closer to your Nemesis.
- Goal Level: The bottom-most level, housing your Nemesis.
