Walkthrough[ | ]
This quest can be completed as in Stemming the Skeletal Tide by repeatedly entering the Underworld and capturing the first Skeleton of Dhuum that walks near the starting area, although that would be expensive. Alternatively, most Underworld solo-farming builds can be used to capture all three required Skeletons in a single run, with the drawback that you must wait 1 minute between captures due to the Weakened by Dhuum effect. There are at least 5 Skeletons that you can access without taking the Clear the Chamber quest to open the doors.
For those wishing to farm this repeatable quest, you should first build up a stockpile of Everlasting Mobstoppers by repeatedly moving the mobstoppers to storage and talking to the Mad King's Steward to replace them. The Skeletons appear all over the Underworld, so a farming build that can handle multiple areas could potentially capture a significant number of Skeletons per run.
The Permanent Shadow Form assassin will not be able to farm this quest, due to the Skeletons' ability to penetrate the defenses of Shadow Form with their two skills Bone Spike and Flurry of Splinters.
Notes[ | ]
- This quest is repeatable. After accepting the reward, you must rezone so the Mad King's Steward will offer it again.
