Quest Group: Those Who Are Treasured (A Great Escape)
Category: Korfu Quest
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest No Rest For the Misthios.
This quest will begin automatically after you talk to your friends at the end of the "No Rest For the Misthios" quest and show them the mysterious scroll you found.
With the knowledge that a real treasure was hidden somewhere on Korfu, Barnabas and Herodotos urged Alexios to track down the coveted prize.
Hints:
Travel to the Sunken Temple. You can get to the cave in two ways. The main entrance is on the sea side, under the surface of the water. There are sharks swimming around, so keep that in mind.
The second entrance, a large hole in the ground, is in the nearby forest.
Once you reach the main cavern, you will find the key in a small box which is located in the upper part of the cavern.
Go to the professor's house in Korkyra Polis. You will not find anyone there and to find out more you will have to investigate some clues.
You will find the first two clues outside in the square between the houses.
You will find another clue, a piece of rope, in one of the houses. You can get inside through the opening of the wooden canopy.
The last of the clues, a rusted sword can be found in the second of the houses. To get to it you must first enter this house through the back door, use your bow, and through the slightly open door shoot the red jar that is standing inside and blocking the rack.
Once you get rid of that jar, you can enter the house through another entrance, destroy another jar and push the rack inside.
Hints:
Head to Pirate Warehouse, get rid of the enemies and investigate the tracks you find in one of the buildings.
The next place you should go to is the Quarry of Korkyra. There you must find the note lying near the dead man and read it.
Captain's Note
After all this time, I've finally found the treasure - all thanks to your friends. But treasure is nothing without the key that imprisons it. I have the storyteller, and I'll spare his life if you hand over the key. Bring it to the mountain near the Overgrown Ruins, or the next dead body will be his. - The Captain
Go to the next location that will be marked on your map which is near the Overgrown Ruins. You will find Herodotos tied up there, free him.
Once you do this the Captain will show up and demand that you give him the key you found. Alexios will eventually decide to do this, then the Captain will walk away and you will be attacked by pirates.
Get rid of the pirates.
Run up to the top of the hill. Unfortunately when you get there you will find that you arrived too late and the Captain managed to get the treasure, which will turn out to be an artifact.
A fight with the Captain is a boss fight.
When you manage to defeat him, the power of the artifact will cause your spear to be "shut down" and you will lose (temporarily) the abilities it granted. This quest will end and another one - "A Message Delivered" will begin.
Rewards: Legendary XP, Legendary Drachmae, Sunset Bracers (Epic Arms), Mad Captain's Sword (Legendary Sword).
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest A Message Delivered.
