SIGNATURE QUEST -- Blood of the Brood (Level 65)

   (a.k.a. Hoo'loh's Hat Quest)

==================================================

1. Hail Hoo'loh on the chain connecting Discord and Strifewind Isles in the Barren Sky. He is next to the wall on the chain all the way up on Strifewind. When you climb up to him you have to jump down from the chain you are on. To do so face the wall and turn a little to the right. There is a little section of wall that sticks out that you can rest your right shoulder on. You will land right next to Hoo'loh. 

2. Kill vultaks surrounding Hoo'loh. This part works by killing any of the vultaks (at least any of them on the ground near Hoo'loh) on Strifewind. The quest updates after every kill but doesn't show you how many you have to kill, or if there even is a number requirement. It shouldn't take too long; perhaps 20 vultaks in all.

3. Return to Hoo'loh.

4. Kill the scroll-bearer in Strifewing camp. The camp entrance is through a small space in the cliffs, on the west side of strifewind island. It is past the small pond/pool of water. Go in and up the climbing wall to your left. The scroll bearer is fairly easy, though you'll have to clear a few mobs to get to him.

5. Return to Hoo'loh.

6. Go to your home city and get a scroll from the mage guild in your hometown. (Academy of Arcane Sciences in North Freeport or Mage Tower in South Qeynos.) It's a quick respawn in either case. In Freeport it is on the second floor, on the table right as you take the elevator up. In Qeynos, take the yellow lift up. The scroll is just to the right of the sage, and has "an ancient scroll" in white letters above it.

7. Return to Hoo'loh.

8. Go into the Nest and lead Hoo'loh to the great egg. The instance in this case is the same as usual. Clear the zone and kill the named up top. Lead Hoo'loh to the egg. He then tells you to go and speak to Hoo'loh, meaning the version of himself in Barren Sky, not the one you're already talking to.

9. Return to Hoo'loh.

10. Collect items off various mobs:

- Scaleborn warriors: You can get updates in Sanctum or outside in Tenebrous.

- Bloodscale Dreadknights: Mobs where the ring event is in the Palace of the Awakened. Way up top.

- Formless Abominations: These can be found in Halls of Fate. Instead of turning right to go to Sothis, turn left in the room with the option. The formless abominations are in a pit at the end of the area.

- Doomwing Skarize Centurions: These are also in Halls of Fate. They have a nasty knockback. In fact, many mobs in Halls of Fate have nasty knockback.

- Bloodscale Dreadknights: Mobs where the ring event is in the Palace of the Awakened. Way up top.

- Sothis: Dragon in Halls of Fate. Sothis isn't tough in himself: level 72 ^^^ dragon. The problem is the adds. At the beginning he has untargetable guards around him. Once you aggro Sothis, they move toward your group slowly. And once they add, they ruin your life. But they move very slow. To kill them quickly and eliminate their threat to your dragon beat down, each group member can pick up one of the lore potions around Sothis. When the adds approach, have one member at a time peal off Sothis and chuck their potion at one of the guards. The potions will kill them instantly.

11. Return to Hoo'loh.

12. Go back to Nest and sneak in an instance (separate from normal Nest) using the disguise Hoo'loh gives you. Be careful at this part. The disguise does change you, but if you get too close to the mobs in the zone they will see thru it and aggro, in which case you have to return to Hoo'loh for another disguise.

13. Return to Hoo'loh for the last time and collect your reward, a very nice class-specific piece of headgear.
