Novvar the Sartyr

This can only be done after a reboot because the key you need only repops after a reboot. Also note, that only levels 61-119 can complete this run.)

Kill the Silver Knights in Sigil castle to obtain as many delicate jewelry boxes as you can get. Drop and sac them until you find one or more that tell you to remove the items inside first. With these boxes in your inventory you will need to fight something that can either use breath attacks and/or cast spells that can frag items. (*Note, that when doing this it's not suggested to wear items that aren't insulated as any equipment you are using that isn't insulated may also be destroyed.) When the delicate jewelry box(es) are destroyed you should find a silver unicorn key in your inventory, one key per box. (This key is insulated so you need not worry about it being destroyed when you are fragging the delicate jewelry box(es).

Once you have the silver unicorn key you'll need to wait until 5:30 AM game time and then go to the Gallery in Sigil castle. From the northeast corner of the Gallery chamber go one room south and search to reveal a locked exit east. Unlock the east exit and enter. (This room is a private room so only one person at a time will be able to enter it.) The guard there should allow you to go down if you enter the room around 5:30 AM, at other times he blocks the way.

When you are at the bottom of the Concealed Stairway you will want to prepare yourself for a tough fight. When you are ready go west into a Dank Cellar where you should find Novrar the necromantic beastmaster. This mob is a Satyr that hits very hard for a second classer to handle solo. (Novrar can't be blinded with flash bombs.) He is extremely aggro and uses necromantic spells and his spear does added damage and increases his healing rate as well. (A Valkyrie/Druid combination appears to be one of the better class paths to use if you want to solo this mob. If you are druid you will want to make use of your ash invocation spell to reduce the damage taken from his necromantic spells. Also note that it hasn't been determined whether the bottom of the Concealed Stairway is a private or solitary room so it may be possible to bring more than one person down to fight Novrar if you enter one by one.) When Novrar dies you can loot the following possible items: a bonedriven shield, a spear of the hemic unicorn, and an equine femur.

Bash the east door or use passdoor to walk through it.

2E, 1S, 1SE, 1E, 1NE, 1E, 3SE, 1E

Dig to reveal another exit east. Go east into the Lair of the Legendary Couatl, and you should find three mobs including the Legendary Couatl. (None of these mobs are too hard to kill so they shouldn't pose too much trouble to kill.) Kill the Legendary Couatl for the following possible items: the rainbow colored wings of a couatl.

When you want to leave the tombs

2W, 3NW, 1W, 1SW, 1W, 1NW, 1N, 2W, 7N

Here you can get out by going either east or west. (*Note, that the way out west requires a mob to drop a black onyx key.)

6E, 2Up

This will take you back up to the graveyard itself.

1S, 3E, 2S

This will take you back to the Crossroads at a Fountain which is the recall room for the area.

If you choose to go west from the tomb intersection to get out.

Vandyne Statue

From the Runic Temple recall in Rune:

1W, 2S

The easiest thing to do here is simply have an item that gives the passdoor spell. A druid's robe, or a mushroom from near Winterborn Mansion will do fine if you can't cast the spell in some form. Make sure that if you do use a mushroom that you have one for getting out also.

1E, 4Down

North in the NPK Entrance to the Crypts you should find the Vandyne Statue. (This statue uses Druid spells. She will web and blind you if she can see you.) The Druid smoke evocation or a flash bomb will be needed to blind the statue. Once she's blinded she's not too hard to kill even if you don't spell her up with any other negative spells. (If you use flash bombs to blind her that they won't be quite as effective as the smoke evocation spell.) Poison, plague, weaken, curse, faerie fire, and web her if you want to make the fight quicker. Once she dies you can loot the following possible items from her: a beautiful amulet made of white marble, a beautiful marble ring, a belt made of white marble, a bracelet made of marble, a bracer made of white marble, a mitre made of white marble, a pair of white marble gauntlets, a pair of white marble leg plates, a sheld made of white marble, a shimmering white cloak, a sword made of white marble, a white marble breastplate, an enchanted emerald scroll, and an orb of white marble.

Rune Portal to Void

From the Runic Temple recall

1E, 10S, 4W, 2S, 3Up
Unlock the east door with magic or other means.
Enter the room east and you should find yourself in an Oak-Screened Chamber. At midnight every night Alyrian time a curtain should appear in this room. If you enter the curtain you should find yourself standing at Mordred the Damned in the Ethereal Void. (*Note, that if you enter the void in this manner it will be fairly easy for others to follow you to try to CPK you. Also note that the portal is only one way so you will have to use another means of travel to leave the void again.)

King Kraken

From the Main Gate of Pirate's Cove

1E, 4N, 7E, 1N

Prepare yourself for underwater CPK on the Sandy Beach so that you won't need to later.

1N, 2Down

Dig to reveal an exit southwest.

1SW, 2SE, 2E, 1N, 3E, 1S, 2SW, 1W, 3S, 6E, 1NE, 3N, 2W, 2S, 3W

You should find yourself in the Kraken's Throne Room. (*Note, that the king kraken is guarded by two other mobs that you will probably want to deal with first to reduce the damage you have to deal with when fighting the king kraken himself. Also note that as the king kraken is extremely aggro you may have to calm and attack the guards repeatedly in order to kill them. Another trick you can use is a smoke bomb to darken the room so the guards are unable to form with the king kraken against you; however, this will also make it impossible for you to target spells on the king kraken or the guards so you will be reduced to area affect spells which will initiate combat with the first mob in the room regardless of which it might be. As a final note, be aware that the King Kraken will breathe poison repeatedly so if you are not immune to poison be prepared to have to constantly cure poison on yourself.) When the King Kraken is dead you can loot the following possible items: a gaudy granite scroll, a tentacle of Kraken, an antique copper scroll, an eye of a Kraken, an odd piece of coral, an amulet of champions, and the heart of a Kraken.

*Some items are not from the corpse of the Kraken but from the chests in his treasure rooms which you need the key to unlock.

Mark of Dignity - Old Armageddon Clanhall

In a room in the Armageddon Clanhall you should find a hidden pinch of sea salt. If you use the sea salt a demon should appear. You lead the demon all the way south in the clanhall and he should ask you to find someone capable of resurrecting a dead gnome on the floor. You will need to find the Padre of Dira in Sigil (You must nexus to the padre.) and bring him to the clanhall to resurrect the gnome. It's quicker if you nexus to Sigil to bring the Padre to the clanhall, but not required. It will take about four minutes for him to resurrect the gnome. After he does resurrect the gnome it will join your formation. Go north and west and use the gnome to scare the pirates from the LPK room. (*Note, that you must have the demon imp formed with you until after the gnome zombie spooks the pirates out of the room.) You may need to enter/exit the room multiple times for this to work. Once they are gone, all of your NPC formation member can be unformed. There's an invisible exit down which you can walk through. Down you will find a CPK room with an aggressive mob called the First Mate. (You will not be able to flee from the First Mate.) You will need a good tank for him. Once the First Mate dies, the person that gets the killing blow will receive the mark of Dignity.

Notes: The First Mate is immune to slash damage. Also note that immediately after the First Mate dies you will be attacked by a parrot. You will need form members healing the tank. Make sure that you have someone that can calm. (This mark currently appears to be on a cycle of two repops, it gives the mark the first two repops and then doesn't give the mark for two repops and then starts the cycle again.)

King Grizzly

Start to kill the Deranged Grizzly Bears throughout Ogre Village repeatedly as they repop and the King Grizzly should soon appear and attack you. If you are able to kill him you will be able to loot the following items: a bearskin rug.
