Revision as of 10:37, 11 July 2008
This quest starts after you bring the Horadric Scroll you found in the sewers below Lut Gholein to Deckard Cain. It's the second quest of Act II and will be your main quest for quite some time. The quest is completed upon inserting the Horadric Staff into the Orifice in Tal Rasha's Tomb, revealing the entrance to Tal Rasha's chamber.
Quest information
Cain will tell you about the Horadric mages of old, who crafted fierce staves and imbued them with the power to unlock Tal Rasha's burial chamber. However, after nearly losing such a staff to a thief rogue sorceror, the Horadrim decided to sever the staves and scatter the pieces so they could be safeguarded, and to prevent the key to Tal Rasha's Tomb to fall into the wrong hands. As it's your quest to find Tal Rasha's Tomb, where Baal lies imprisoned, you set out on a search for the three pieces that comprise the Horadric Staff: The shaft, the headpiece, and an ancient artifact that can transmute the pieces into an Horadric Staff: the Horadric Cube.
The Horadric Cube
This artifact is hidden deep within the Halls of the Dead in the Dry Hills. There's a waypoint hidden on level 2, the Cube is hidden in a gold chest on level 3. Be prepared to battle your way through legions of undead and many other hellish fiends. Once you have the Cube, you can also use it as an 'extra inventory', and even use it to transmute many other items.
The Staff of Kings
After obtaining the Horadric Cube it's time to travel to the Far Oasis. Here you must find the Maggot Lair; the entrance looks like a tunnel dug into the sand dunes. Here you will encounter loads of insect-like enemies like Sand Maggot, Scarab Demon and Swarm. Make your way through the circular tunnels untill you reach level 3. At the bottem of the Maggot Lair lies the Super Unique Sand Maggot matriarch: Coldworm The Burrower. This boss has the ability to spawn full grown Sand Maggot monsters, so be ready for a serious fight. After you manage to defeat her, open the gold chest hidden in the room. It should contain a load of gold, and the Staff of Kings, the shaft portion of the Horadric Staff.
Amulet of the Viper
Now it's time to get the headpiece and complete the Horadric Staff. When you travel through the Lost City, a sudden eclipse should darken the sky, and the quest log pops up. This triggers the Tainted Sun quest, and both quests conventiently have the same destination: the Claw Viper Temple. The Temple is hidden within the Valley of Snakes and is filled with demonic Claw Viper and Salamander monsters. Make your way to the second level; here you will find another load of Claw Vipers and a Super Unique monster called Fangskin. Defeat the monsters and break the Tainted Sun Altar; not only does this complete the Tainted Sun quest but it also yields the Amulet of the Viper, the missing headpiece of the Horadric Staff.
Now you've gathered all the pieces, it's time to recreate the Horadric Staff. Place the Staff of Kings and the Amulet of the Viper inside the Horadric Cube and transmute them. Congratulations, you now have an Horadric Staff!
Completing the Quest
Once you've found the Canyon of the Magi and the True Tomb of Tal Rasha, you must search for a magical orifice hidden deep within the tomb. The orifice is located in a chamber with symbols of the Seven Tombs on the floor. Place the Horadric Staff within the orifice and behold as the entrance to Tal Rasha's burial chamber is revealed. But before you enter, be prepared for a fight...
