The Seeds of Deception

The Scriptorium

  1. This Quest starts when you either do both A Shout in the Dark and the Root and Branch Quests in ways that favor Tayn, or if you do both Quests in ways that favor Llengrath. Doing one Quest that favors Tayn and another that favors Llengrath will result in this Quest not starting.

    Whomever gives you the Quest also gives you The Godseed Manuscripts, along with a request to find a powerful artifact.

  2. Click on the Trephine at #3. You'll now be able to use the memory you obtained from the Memory Hoarder during the Under Observation Quest to use. You will also have to sacrifice that memory to use the Trephine, which means you can only use the Trephine once. After that, stairs will appear at #10 that leads to the Upper Bowels at #1.
  3. Upper Bowels

  4. The Memory Siphon is at #3 in the southwest corner. The Deep Wrangler guards it, along with several Shimmering Dreambeasts and Scavengers of Visions. The traps in this room are actually magical glyphs that can cause Injuries and cannot be disarmed. It may be advisable to overpower the Wrangler and her minions through ranged combat (i.e., missile weapons and spells) first. You can safely walk around the glyphs afterwards.

    However, the glyphs won't be in the room if you completed the Quest called A Shout in the Dark in a way that favored Tayn.

    The pedestal at #4 has an Outer Godseed Fragment.

  5. There will also be two Luminescent Spores, as well as several Infected Caretakers and Luminescent Sporelings in the chamber at #10 that will attack you.

    The pedestal at #9 has another Outer Godseed Fragment.

  6. This Quest overlaps significantly with the Quest called The Inner Mysteries. Fulfilling the steps needed for the latter Quest results in the pool at #2 being clear of any bile so that it now provides a path to The Heart of the Mystery at #1.

    *NOTE* Proceeding ahead to The Heart of the Mystery without having first obtained both of the Outer Godseed Fragments will cause this Quest to fail.
  7. The Heart of the Mystery

  8. You'll be treated to a cutscene of the Oracle of Wael absorbing the Wizard named Fyonlecg once you arrive.

  9. Take the Inner Godseed Core from the pedestal at #2.

  10. Defeating the Oracle of Wael is a key objective of The Inner Mysteries Quest. It is necessary to be able leave here with all of the Godseed items.

    Should you prevail, you can go through the pool at #6 to leave.
  11. Temple of Revelation

  12. It will bring you to the Temple of Revelation west of #10. Tayn and Llengrath will be nearby.

  13. If Llengrath gave you the Quest, she'll indicate a desire to use the Godseed to grow a new vessel for her reincarnation. If you give it to her, she'll reward you with 13,000+ xp and a Trinket called Glasanam Argues.

  14. If Tayn gave you the Quest, he'll indicate a desire to use the Godseed to grow a new Titan. If you give it to him, he'll reward you with 13,000+ xp and a Trinket called Tayn's Gratitude.

  15. You can decide to keep the Godseed for yourself. The Godseed items you've collected will get replaced with useable versions of the Godseed Inner Core and the Outer Godseed Fragment. You can use the former to upgrade any armor, shield or weapon from Legendary to Mythic-level enchantment. You can use the latter to upgrade any armor, shield or weapon from Superb to Legendary. The Archmage who wanted the Godseed will only reward you with the xp, but will be too upset with you to reward you with any Trinkets.
