A pay for quest that ran from January 20th to 29th in 2017. Access to the area can be found in Crossing at the SouthEast corner of the Town Green (TGSE).

Area Lore

• Su Helmas overview.

Map

A preliminary map of the area can be found at Kythryn's Journal here.

Tasks

On arrival to the area, there are 2 types of tasks available to complete for fame. For either task to award fame, first find the Su Helmas expedition ziggurat climber or the Su Helmas expedition graveyard explorer, and REDEEM your contract. To check that your contract(s) have been activated, check the bottom of your INFO. Each completed task will award 10 or 11 Su Helmas fame.

Ward

Moving east from the entry portal, you will see an undulating purple ward. To get instructions for manipulating the ward, STUDY the ward. On manipulating the ward, which is a random combination of PUSH, RUB & TAP, you can lighten the ward on a successful set of combinations until you complete the task.

Hunting

Each kill completes a single contract task. ASK CLIMBER ABOUT ACCESS for the creatures in the Ziggurat area, and ASK EXPLORER ABOUT ACCESS for the creatures in the Desolate Field and Sunken Pit areas.
