Aurest Mission: Labyrinth Chests
Summary
Lady Alethina in Red Wing Casino said, "Head to the Ilmari desert and seek out the giant yellow crystals where the manticores live... and kill them! Manticores often have Hegemonic Storage Keys, which you'll need. Just keep killing manticores until you have at least five keys.
Next you must find the entrance to a massive bunker under the sand. It's southwest of the manticores. There are rakshasa bandits nearby, so torture them for information if you're lost.
Once inside, use the keys on the chests you'll find. Take careful note of what you find -- I need that intelligence for my report.
Along the way you'll meet a certain Striga who will prevent you from going downstairs. Definitely kill him. On the next floor, look for a minotaur named Asterion and kill him, too. He has something I need; bring it to me.
Remember not to go too far down -- once you go past the steward, you'll be on the correct floor to find Asterion.
Oh, and don't underestimate him. Asterion is FAR more dangerous than typical minotaurs."
This Quest can be repeated after 1 day.
Prerequisites
To start this quest, talk to Lady Alethina in the Red Wing Casino. The quest is available at [Despised] favor. This quest is only available during an event in the area.
Preface
Head to the Ilmari desert and seek out the giant yellow crystals where the manticores live... and kill them! Manticores often have Hegemonic Storage Keys, which you'll need. Just keep killing manticores until you have at least five keys.

Along the way you'll meet a certain Striga who will prevent you from going downstairs. Definitely kill him. On the next floor, look for a minotaur named Asterion and kill him, too. He has something I need; bring it to me.
Remember not to go too far down -- once you go past the steward, you'll be on the correct floor to find Asterion.

“How many pemphredo eyes did you find? Hmm. That's too few. If they were actively listening for orders from their homeland, there would be hundreds everywhere. And it seems Asterion's personal eye was only used for close-range communication! But...
But... but they MUST be communicating with the Hegemony military somehow. Right?! There's an entire platoon buried in the sand, waiting to spring some sort of trap. I just can't figure out what signal they're waiting for!
Argh! Damn your failure! Damn it all! I have nothing to go on!
Yes, yes, of course: you did as requested and here is your payment.
- 100 [favor]
- 22000 councils
