Maelstrom (runto: maelstrom)

Description Map Level Rating
Destroy the Maelstrom and free the seas! Gaardian Maelstrom map 40 1

Walkthrough

  1. From the entrance use the linked Gaardian map to map the area and cexits. This will make this area easier - many one-way rooms and one closed loop needs recall to get out.
  2. ‘Mapper goto 38090’ to reach The Maelstrom’s Heart. Sometimes exits from here randomise your location. Return here to try again.
  3. Go to Atop the Spire (38115), say ‘free the sea’ and then say ‘yes’.
    1. run 2dn, farm pearls from oysters around the coral city and kelp forest and graveyard of ships (west and east of centre). The pearls of strength, wisdom, fortitude and fortune are random drops and takes pretty long, be prepared to kill 10-15 repops. You’ll keep getting pearls that crumble to gold; ignore them and keep going. It really speeds up this process if you come to the area at level 60+ for fast kills.
  5. Once you’ve collected all 4 different pearls, return to (38115) and give each pearl to the god.
  6. Return to area entrance (38050 Dusty Seabed), run 4ed, kill insane spirit. Loot Stench of Evil. A task closes.
  7. From A Bottomless Cavern (38070) “climb up” to The Fissure. Run 2s; enter opening; kill adventurer. wear aura. The task Prove Yourself Wise closes.
  8. Still in the same room, enter pool; run de2n; to The Ship’s Bow (38078). Type ‘furl the main-sail’. Task Prove Yourself Strong closes.
  9. Return to area entrance (38050 Dusty Seabed). We want a sand dollar to drop. It may be a random drop. I killed mobs randomly all over the area for a very long time, and it eventually dropped on killing a current of the maelstrom mob in 38081 Caught in The Maelstrom. A message will appear saying “A sand dollar, miraculously unbroken, falls into your hands” and the task Prove Yourself Lucky will close.
  10. Go to Atop the Spire (38115), the god will give you weapon, hand of god.
  11. Wield hand of god, run 2d6n3d, enter vent, kill jengu. The goal completes and you are teleported to recall.
