  • This quest used to be part of the level 10 FR quest, which has now become White Towers: FR Lvl 10 Quest.

    Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver is a unique weapon which grows in power when it is close to any orcs or goblins.

    The Arkenstone is a unique gem which can be sold to the Gem Dealer in Minas Tirith for 5000 gold (A tall man is here, relaxing part of MT6: Opals for Gem Dealer). You cannot place this into a ring or sword setting. You can also gain a one time short term boost to Strength and Constitution by doing the following.

    gaze into arkenstone

    When leaving this quest with either of the rewards you should be careful to conceal the reward inside a pack or other container. If any of the citizens of Erebor see you with it they will call for help and you will then be backstabbed and hunted by a Dwarven sentinel until you escape Erebor.

  • First you are going to need 90 Awareness in order to do the following.

    do look lower rock,push lower rock

    do w,n,nw,n

    Kill the An armour-clad dwarf sentinel, the second one does not protect the first so you can kill them seperately. If you need to leave to heal you can leave but there is a random chance they will block you and you will see The sentinel roars at you: 'Don't think you're leaving here alive!', you simply need to retry to leave south again.

    kill sentinel 2

    Once the sentinel is dead.

    kill sentinel

    Once they are both dead.

    do tomb,examine statues

    You will see four statues, however the description of one of them will say something like You carefully examine all four statues and notice that the small golden elf seems slightly less shiny than the other three. Perhaps it could be pulled?. You will need at least 100 Awareness to notice this. Simply do what you are told, in this case it would be.

    do pull elf statue,d

    Once you are in the lower tomb.

    do clear rubble,get cloak from skeleton

    Now we need to unlock the coffin, there are four symbols on the coffin and they can either be pressed, or not pressed. If all four symbols get pressed, then they will rise again and reset. It does not matter what order you press the symbols in, you simply need to have a certain set up and and a certain set down. Therefore (exluding nothing pressed) there are 15 different possible combinations of the crests (triangle, square, circle, diamond). I will list one method of trying all the various combinations. I would suggest trying each press one at a time as each press drains endurance and you can stop once the coffin slides back and you see As the stone prism is pressed firmly into place, a quiet scraping can be heard in the deathly silent mausoleum. Glancing back over your shoulder you see that the lid of the coffin has slid open..

    do press triangle,press square,press circle,press diamond,press circle,press triangle,press diamond,press square,press diamond,press triangle,press square,press circle,press square,press circle,press diamond,press triangle,press square,press diamond,press triangle,press circle,press circle,press diamond

    Once the coffin is open you now have a choice. You can either take The Arkenstone or Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver, you can see them both if you look in the coffin.

    inventory coffin

    Before you take anything, make sure you have enough endurance and health to escape (it is probably worth bringing some healing).

    If you want the The Arkenstone, then.

    get arkenstone from coffin

    If you want Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver, then.

    get orcrist from coffin

    Once you have taken the item the room will darken and the tomb will be sealed and a cloud of dust and dirt will start choking you, gradually draining your health and endurance. You now need to quickly do the following.

    do u,dig through rubble

    You now need to wait until you see The tunnel should be steady enough to continue digging now., once you see it, you need to do the following again.

    dig through rubble

    You will need to repeat this process until you see That's it! After quite some effort and at the expense of your energy you finally managed to open a tunnel torwards freedom.. Once you see this.

    crawl through tunnel

    You have now escaped with your booty.
