Walkthrough
Enter the Cathedral of Flames from Doomlore Shrine. In the second room, you will find the portal. Walk into it.

The portal takes you back to Presearing Ascalon. This special instance of Presearing Ascalon has the following restrictions and quirks:
 * You cannot enter any towns in Presearing Ascalon while this quest is active
 * You can, however, travel between all of its explorable areas
 * Including The Catacombs
 * Where all the Nightmares/Crypt Fiends/other monsters with that model now drop ectos
 * The room where the Prized Moa Bird was sacrificed holds one of each green item in the game, including minipets
 * You get a random dye off of every foe guaranteed
 * All Presearing Ascalon enemies are their original levels
 * All enemies also retain their aggro mechanics from Presearing
 * Bundles attract aggro
 * Enemies don't run from AoE.


 * The rabbit one hit kills everything
 * Including you while you're trying to charm it
 * Bring Pacifism to actually charm it
 * Amity would work, but you don't want to let the rabbit that close to you, do you?
 * If the rabbit dies, it explodes, dealing its level*4 fire damage to all adjacent foes if hearty, level*5 if elder (or no evolution), or level*6 if dire


 * Watch out, that rabbit's dynamite!
 * Combine the rabbit with Death Nova or something.
 * The rabbit can be defeated in one hit with The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, but why defeat it when you can charm it?

You will spawn in the Wizard Tower, on top of the mountain in Wizard's Folly, near Elementalist Aziure. Once you've reminisced enough, head to the resurrection shrine just outside Ascalon City and chase after Gwen. Once you get close enough to her, she will kill your party with Spontaneous Combustion. Continue the chase until your quest log tells you to stop. When it does, head back to the mountain in Foible's Fair to be teleported back to the Cathedral of Flames.
