Meet at the Grave

Go to the graveyard outside Gadgetzan, and use the Videre Elixir. Follow the rest of Donova's instructions to find Gaeriyan.
Provided Item:
Linken's Tempered Sword

Description

This elixir will allow you to speak with one that you would not normally even see...

Take the Videre elixir, along with Linken's sword, to the graveyard just outside Gadgetzan in Tanaris. Once there, drink the potion. You may be quite surprised at the results, but do not be alarmed.

In your "other" form, head due north until you reach the mountains. You'll find the one you need to speak with in one of the rocky crevices. His name is Gaeriyan.

Remember, he will only speak to you in that form...

Take the elixir in the graveyard of gadgetzen, it will kill you but you suffer no damage penalty on gear. From there head due north to the mountain range and find the ghost(54,24). He is hard to see due to the colour contrast of being dead, and the exclamation mark above his head is also grey, but he is there. Speak with him to continue questline.

Just finished this quest, so here's how it went.&nbsp I went to the graveyard and drank the potion, which seems to have the nasty side effect of making you drop dead on the spot.&nbsp From there, go almost straight north.&nbsp I found him at 54, 24.&nbsp He's tough to spot cause he's a ghost (black and white and faded), and the death effects (the whole world going black and white) don't make it any easier.&nbsp On top of that, the telltake yellow question mark is also grey, but I assure you, he's there.&nbsp Then, with linken's sword, go back to the graveyard as he instructs, and you'll have a "use" mouseover on the large tombstone, and complete the quest.

Would like to point out that if you have a resurrect trigger finger like I did, just go die near the graveyard and run north. The quest will work even if you don't die from the elixir. You just need to be a ghost to see him.

Make sure to go back to the Lady in Winterspring and get the blasted sword.

This is VERY important.

If you use up your last Elixir of death you can still complete the quest as long as you have the sword.

I went outside the graveyard and let an animal kill me.&nbsp While in wisp form I went and found the guy and completed the quest.

I loved this quest line. Anyways, go to the grave, drink a potion and then as a ghost run striaght up to 54,24. Just run up until you see the yellow dot on the map. Its really easy. After that ressurrect, hit the gravestone.... then its off to deliver Link's sword in Un Goro!

Here is the deal....

like acollier said...

First talk to Gregan Brewspewer at 45,26 or you who don't have cosmos... he is at the T in The on the map in the the title The twin Colossus.

Buy the bait off him and head north to meet Miblon Snarltooth. You can see the ruin with the arch from the road east of the ruin Icon and just west off the road.

Place the meat on the steps. He moves and the door opens. Get the ingredient and head back to Gregan so he can make the potion.

now....

Go back to see Donova Snowden and she will give you the tempered sword and instruct you to go to the cemetary.

Hope this helps!

This quest too is a reference to The Legend of Zelda

"Meet the old man at the grave" Was one of many famous quotes from the original game along with "dodongos dislike smoke" and "It's dangerous to go alone", Which is the name of the last part of this quest chain

if you happen to be on the quest but run out of elixers for whatever reason, you can also do the quest if you die (e.g. you attack an opposing faction inside gadgetzan) you take durability but it saves a trip to Feralas

Sure, you can just let yourself get killed by mobs, BUT... You will suffer 10% durability loss on everything, which DOES NOT HAPPEN if you drink the goo instead.&nbsp Drink the goo.&nbsp Save money.&nbsp This quest chain already eats enough of it.

You can now see the yellow ? and it will also appear in your mini map.&nbsp After you drink (and die) go straight north you cant miss it.&nbsp Just remember when you die you loose all your buffs.

just confirming what was mentioned earlier about not needing to actually use the elixir in order to die for this quest. i went to go do a different quest before attempting to drink the elixir, got killed by about 50 scorpids trying escort a homing chicken to steemwheedle port (ok maybe 50 is an exaggeration...), got body, tried the chicken again, got killed again and decided to forget the chicken and see if i could find Gaelyn instead. sure enough, he was where you all said he would be and i had no trouble talking to him and completing this leg of quest string.

so really the only reason you even need to go to feralas, find brewspigger (or whatever his name is), and get the elixir at all is so that you can go through the go steps necessary to complete the quests that lead you up to this point. Gaelyn&nbsp won't talk to you unless you've been told by Brewspigger to seek him out and Brewspigger, obviously, has prerequisites of his own. but the actual act of drinking the elixir at the cemetery, or even having the elixir in your pack at all once you've gotten it from Brewspigger, is not necessary.

Gaerlin is at (53,23), which is somewhat into the mountains to the east of the road through the mountains towards Thousand Needles.

For the rest: you die, no equipment dammage, do not resurrect, walk to the fellow as a ghost and go back to ressurrect and do the next quest at the graveyard.

Just a small note:

You won't lose any durability if you use the potion.

Nice, isn't it? :)

This is just funny!
It actually kills you.
Just release your spirit and head north to talk to the ghost at 54,23.
He will send you back to res and examine a gravestone.

Be sure you return to Donova Snowden after getting the Videre Elixir from Gregan. You can drink the elixir in the graveyard before talking with her, but you won't be able to continue as "The Old Man" will only say "Please leave an old spirit to rest." of you aren't on the quest.

One small thing for everyone. If you use the potion to kill yourself you will not take the 10% durability loss on your gear. If a mob kills you then you will. I recommend using the potion as stated in the quest unless you rich and don't care.
