Walkthrough

 * The Forgotten Vale is the area south of this reaper. To get to the reaper, your party probably cleared all the Grasping Darknesses and Coldfire Nights that were in the area.


 * As soon as you take the quest, the Wrathful Spirits will spawn, but they are called Tortured Spirits, just like the NPCs you have to defend (of course they are red and the others are green). They are low in level (15), but use Illusionary Weaponry with an Illusion Attribute level of 14 (i.e. they do 38 points of armor ignoring damage per hit). There are five groups total and three spirits per group. You want to avoid a group of 3 ganging up on one target due to the huge amount of damage they can do.


 * Defend the nearest villagers well as the farther ones will probably be wiped out before you get to them. After wiping out all groups (there is one group atop a hill overlooking the reaper), return to the reaper for your reward.


 * This quest is failed if none of the friendly tortured spirits survive. Make sure to at least defend and heal the nearest group of spirits to your group so that one survives.


 * There is a trick to avoid the possibility of failing the quest. The friendly spirits will spawn to the area after you kill the Grasping Darknesses near Mayor Alegheri. If you leave the first group alive, some of the spirits won't spawn and you can't fail the quest. Just remember to avoid aggroing the darknesses when fighting the Wrathful Spirits. After you have cleared the area of most of the spirits you can kill the Darknesses.


 * You don't need to hurry if you are trying to charm a Black Widow for a pet. The Black Widow spawns near the reaper along with a chest and it walks around in the nearby area. Use Charm Animal to capture the Black Widow. You only need to activate it in range and the Black Widow will turn around and come towards you hostily like any other pet would during a charm attempt. Make sure to inform your party that you are charming it otherwise some of them might think it is attacking and try to kill it off!
