Location: Corathus Creep
Quest Giver: Brovil Pallivineg
Type: Group Mission. 3 players minimum. Mercenaries can be used as a player.
Replay Timer: 45 minutes
Related Quest: Level 69 Spells
Note: In order to initially request this mission (for Brovil Pallivineg to respond) someone in the group will need to kill drachnid-type mobs in Stoneroot Falls. Loot Cicero’s Torn Notebook (seems to be a semi-common drop) and give it to Model XG CVIII in Corathus Creep. Alternatively, if you did one of the other missions from Brovil Pallivineg you will be able to request this mission.

Step 1

Find a way into the cocoon mentioned in the note

• Go to The Hive. Follow the marker on your compass to the dungeon zone in. MAP

Step 2

Search the cocoon for any trace of Cicero

• Clear your way up to the 2x a drachnid guardians at the top of the hive. Kill them both for an update. Kalyth, the Keeper will immediately spawn upon their deaths. When he is engaged, you’ll get another update. MAP

Step 3

Slay Kalyth, the Keeper

• Kill Kalyth, the Keeper he is pretty easy on 68+ Mode. Once he dies an aged cocoon will spawn.

Step 4

Open the cocoon Kalyth was holding

• /open the cocoon to spawn Cicero Quikwire.

Step 5

Escort Cicero out of the cocoon

• Follow Cicero Quikwire’s dialogue to start his escort. He runs a specific path and you’ll need to follow. Kill trash spiders along the way and also kill spiders that he will spawn out of the cocoons (1-2 spawn at a time). Spiders here respawn fairly quick so you may need to reclear trash. He is attackable, don’t kill him! He hits fairly hard and can generate some aggro. He is moderately tanky. Don’t let him die or the mission will fail. Once he gets to the zone-in the mission will be completed and a chest with a piece of loot will spawn.

Step 6 (Optional)

• Speak with Brovil Pallivineg in Corathus Creep

• Notable chest items include:
