  Objective: Acquiring the Superior Helm and/or the Fiery Shield for all team members. Not far from the Gharu'ndim town of Zaikhal this dungeon lies with many undead guarding the place. Target is located inside the Hall of the Helm at 18.7 N, 1.6 E near the town of Zaikhal. The Guardian of the Helm will be carrying the Helm or the Shield, the entire dungeon is guarded by many Undead so be ready to take the brunt of war spells flying at you, especially near the end when you face a room with 6 zombies and 1 lich, followed by end end room with the Guardian of the Helm and another 6 zombies.

  Equipment: Bring any jewelry that can protect you against Melee and Magic Attacks in general (Slashing, Bludgeon, Piercing and Magic Resistance), health, stamina and mana potions, Healing Kits and your backup armor.

Step 0: Preparation

• Magical protections to prevent getting spell-blasted by the undead, zombies, and liches

• Fire based weapon to burn the evil undead

Step 1: Getting There

  The easiest route to get to the Halls of the Helm (18.7n  1.6e) is to go through the Arwic Subway, exiting Zaikhal.  Then it is a simple run almost due north to the Hall of the Helm.

Step 2: The Entry Area

  Ok, now it is easy to get lost in here, especially at the beginning of the quest, so I have provided you with a map of the entry area, with arrows to follow:

Step 3: The Maze

  Ok, now that you have run through the 1st of two big rooms, you are in a hallway headed down.  Follow this hallway until you see it split to the right.  Take the right path.  It will run through a small room with 2 more undead and a zombie.  Kill them and continue on.  The path will wind around, going up, then head over the 1st big room you saw (look in upper-left corner of the above map.)  Then it will head down again, eventually bringing you to a T-intersection.  Take the left branch down and you will come to another big room.

Step 4: Zombie and Liches and the Guardian, Oh My!

  Ok, in this big room there is 1 lich and 6 zombies to kill.  Be careful of their spells!!  Run straight ahead through the room and you will see a passage on the left at the end of the room (see picture.)

  Go down this passage and you will be in the room with the Guardian.  The guardian spawns right in front of the column in the middle of the room.  Unfortunately, about 6 zombies also spawn here, so be careful.

Notes:  The Guardian does not always drop both the Fiery Shield and the Superior Helm.  It may take several kills to get the item you want.
