RING OF THE SHISSAR

(Key to the Emperor's Chamber)

and

ZAZUZH'S KEY

(Access to the locked door for the area with Arch Lich Rhag`Zadune)

and

ZHEROZSH'S KEY

(Access to the area's where Xerkizh the Creator and High Priest of Ssraeshza are located)

and a

FREE HORSE!

This Quest will gain you the Ring of the Shissar, which is the key to gain entry to the Emperor's Chamber in Ssraeshza Temple.

In the process, you may get lucky and the same MOB's may drop Zazuzh's Key, Zherozsh's Key or one of four different colored Silken Bridles! The bridles work as a free horse. However -- as a Paladin -- you get a free horse anyway, at Level 59 with the proper expenditure of AA!

NOTE: If you just want a bridle or one of the keys, then you only have to do only the appropriate step, below!

NOTE: The Fabled Ring of the Shissar is obtained in exactly the same way as the normal one. Simply kill the related "fabled" MOB's and loot the related "fabled" items!

UPDATE: In 2008 they allowed access to locked areas of Ssraeshza by merit of level. Thus, you are able to access locked areas in this zone at Level 55.

UPDATE: In 2008 Sony decided to allow access to the locked areas of this zone by merit of level (Level 55).

QUEST SHORTCUT

This entire quest takes place in Ssraeshza Temple. You must obtain certain items by locating and killing certain MOB's as follows (steps 1 through 4 can be done in any order).

1) SSRAESHZA TEMPLE: You need a Taskmaster's Pouch (Lore, No Drop, Giant, 4-slot, 0%, Weight 1.0).

This is a bag, so make sure you have an open slot.

This item drops pretty consistently off the named Taskmaster's in the Basement area -- and Warden Mekuzh as well. All these MOB's are about Level 60.

.

2) You need Zazuzh's Idol (Lore, No Drop, Weight 1.0.

This drops off Commander Zazuzh (Level 56). He is on the first floor and is, perhaps, a long spawn.

NOTE: He can also drop Zazuzh's Key!

.

3) You need Ssraeshzian Insignia (Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

This item drops off Advisor Zekuzh, Arbiter Korazhk and General Kizuhx.

They are on the second floor and are Level 53 to level 55 MOB's.

.

4) You need Zeruzsh's Ring (Magic, Lore, No Drop, Weight 0.1).

This drops off of Commander Zherozsh (Level 58). He is on the second floor.

NOTE: He can also drop Zherozsh's Key.

NOTE: The MOB's in steps 2, 3 & 4 can also drop the Tan Silken Bridle, Black Silken Bridle, White Silken Bridle or the Brown Silken Bridle (which are free horses). However, I have yet to see any bridle drop in this zone at all, so it may be this drop has been removed from the game.

.

5) Put the Ssraeshzian Insignia, Zeruzsh's Ring and Zazuzh's Idol in the Taskmaster's Pouch and combine them to make the Ring of the Shissar!

.

OTHER FREE HORSES!

6) GRIEG'S END: Grieg Veneficus (Level 65) can sometimes drop the Black Silken Bridle.

.

7) SANCTUS SERU: Praesertum Rhugol (Level: 66) can sometimes drop the Black Silken Bridle.

Praesertum Bikun (Level: 66) can sometimes drop the Tan Silken Bridle.

Praesertum Matpa (Level: 66) can sometimes drop the White Silken Bridle.

.

8A) BEFALLEN: This is by far the easiest two (2) Horses to get, in the game, but there are two (2) variants and they are good for only one (1) summoning.

Luckily, the entire process is  quick (I think I did it in five minutes).

First, go in Befallen and simply kill the various skeletons down the steps, just inside the zone.

Kill them until you get a Skeletal Foreman to spawn.

It took me 5 or 6 kills before he appeared.

None of these MOB's are over Level 15.

.

8B) Now kill the Skeletal Foreman to spawn Sir Ariam Arcanum (Level 25), who appears to be a named shadowman.

He spawns in the little alcove in the back of the main room there.

You must say to him -- exactly -- this phrase: "I sense a deep pain within you, ghost. Is there some way I might assist you so that you may find eternal rest?"

He will respond and then you say, "I will perform any task that will cleanse this place."

Your next response will depend on your faction.

Respond accordingly, but as a Paladin, your choice should be to say, "I will take it to the Knights of Truth."

He will then give you a Ghostly Bridle!

You can stop here or go no further with it.

If you summon the horse or camp, the item will be lost, as it is no rent, has only one (1) charge and you cannot continue to the next step!

He will also give you Scroll of the Burning Dead (Lore, No Drop. Weight 0.1)!

.

8C) NORTH FREEPORT: Go to the Knights of Truth building and find Sir Artanis (Level 26 to Level 30).

He patrols about inside the building.

Give him the Scroll of the Burning Dead (I am not sure where the scroll is supposed to lead you, it is unclear).

Give him the Ghostly Bridle.

He will then give you the Bridle of Sir Ariam!

This bridle is also only only (1) charge and will be lost, if used. However, it is not no rent!

NOTE: If, for some reason, you opted to go the "evil" route -- you need to go to Neriak for the turn in. I did not pursue this avenue and cannot tell you who to take it to other than the "queen."
