Changes: Blade of the Old Religion (Quest)

Revision as of 10:24, 14 July 2008

Blade of the Old Religion is the second quest of Act III. It's initiated after players complete The Golden Bird (quest) and talk to Hratli. The quest is completed when players bring back the sacred blade called The Gidbinn to Ormus.

Background

When Mephisto's Hatred spread across the countryside, corrupting the capital city of Kurast, the few survivors fled to the Kurast Docks. In order to protect the dockside from the forces of Evil, the sorceror-smith Hratli created a magical warding spell that would hold the forces of evil at bay. However, as of late the warding spell seems to be losing it's power. There's only one ancient artifact that has the power to reinforce the spell: its called The Gidbinn, an ancient blade from the old Skatsimi religion. Sadly, the Blade was lost when the corrupt Zakarum took over the country. The Blade has to be found if the denizens of the Kurast Docks hope to survive.

Further information and tips

You will find the Blade hidden within the Flayer Jungle, usually hidden within a village (sometimes The Gidbinn can be found near the entrance to the Flayer Dungeon ). You should see a small altar-like construct on top of which The Gidbinn rests. When you try to grab it, it erupts in flame. A Unique Flayer should now appear. Kill the boss and the Gidbinn should drop. Now you only need to bring it back to Ormus to complete the quest.
