The Zealotry of Zipactriotl

Written by: @VaLeX

Hi everyone. I want to help you out with a detailed walkthrough of the The Zealotry Of Zipactriotl quest chain. The quest is fun, but it is just as time consuming and complicated.

First of all you need a treasure hunter character and a fisher character for this quest, along with the main character you plan to fight Zipactriotl with at the end.

Let's get started.

NOTE: DEFINITELY DO THIS QUEST WITH TWO PEOPLE, YOU CANNOT ACTIVATE THE BOSS ON YOUR OWN AT THE FINAL STAGE.

To be able to take the quest you first need to side with the Myrmidex in the war between the Eodonians and the Myrmidex. To do that you have to fight on the Myrmidex side in the Myrmidex pit.

To take the quest, we first double click the statue shown below in the Valley of Eodon.


Then we enter the pit from the Myrmidex side entrance and join the battle. We keep fighting until the Myrmidex win the war.




Once the in game message announcing that the Myrmidex won the war appears, we go to Yar The Tinker and take the starting quest.


The main quest is completed by finishing 4 different tasks. Let's get into the quest chain.

After taking the quest you can do the tasks below in any order you like. The Tinker will ask you to complete tasks in 4 different cities: Jhelom, Brit, Moonglow and Vesper. I will go from the easiest task to the hardest.

We go to the Moonglow Lycaeum and buy a Stasis Chamber Power Core from Zulema The Collector of Oddities; it costs 101,250 Gp.


That is the first quest item done. Next we take the A Tinker's Task quest from Eriatwen The Golem Maker in the Brit Tinker Guild. The quest asks for 500 ingots, 25 Gears, 5 Power Crystals and 2 Clockwork Assemblies. You can handle the ingots with your miner char. You can buy the 25 gears from any tinker vendor. You can get the 5 Power Crystals and 2 Clockwork Assemblies by killing the Exodus creatures in Blackthorn castle in Britannia. Once we have gathered all the items and taken them to the tinker, we will have obtained the Stasis Chamber Stator that the main quest asks for.


Third, we go to the Vesper Jeweler and take the Hidden Treasures quest. The quest asks for 1 Dark Sapphire, 1 Turquoise, 1 Perfect Emerald, 1 Ecru Citrine, 1 White Pearl, 1 Fire Ruby and 1 Brilliant Amber. You can gather these materials with your miner, lumberjack and fisher chars. When you hand the quest items over to Carroll The Gemologist, she will give you a treasure map. Dig the map up with your treasure hunter, and in the chest you will find the 3rd quest item, the Stasis Chamber Activator.


And now we come to the 4th and longest task. We go to Jhelom and take The Salty Sea quest from Bront The Captain at The Horse's Head. The quest asks us to kill 10 Water Elementals, 10 Sea Serpents, 10 Deep Sea Serpents and 5 Krakens. There is a catch here, folks: you have to kill the quest creatures in the South Britannia sea.


You do not need a fisher character to make the creatures spawn. What you need to do is buy a Special Hook from Hepler Paulson at the Trinsic docks. You have to double click Hepler to learn how the Special Hook is used. Buy as many Special Hooks as your backpack can carry. Then we set out into open water from Jhelom below.


You go exactly here, double click the hooks in your backpack and click on the sea, and the creatures you need will spawn. You may need to go back to the helper in Trinsic a few times.


After killing all the creatures we go back to the Captain in Jhelom, and when we turn the quest in he gives us an SOS. Go to the coordinates on the SOS and raise the wreck with your fisher character. From the chest we get the 4th quest material, the Stasis Chamber Regulator. This part can be a bit of a pain; if you do not know how to read the compass you can make use of UOmap.

After getting all 4 items, we head back to the Tinker in the Valley of Eodon, hand the items over, take the Zipactriotl entry quest, and we can now enter the Boss room from the spot shown below.


After that we spawn the boss and kill it, and our quest is complete. The quest has some really nice rewards. A Moonstone Crystal will let you teleport to many locations in the Valley of Eodon.


Have fun.
