Monstrous Interred GrizzleDungeon Overview
Bedlam is located on the Malas facet at 22o20'N 53o13'E. The entrance to the dungeon is an iron maiden, located by the bloodletters. To enter, you must accept a quest from Aeryna, Mistress of Admissions, and complete the first few steps. You will need to kill pixies, unicorns, and kirin, and speak to the Mayor in Luna (located near the bank). Once you've completed the first few steps of the quest, you will be able to enter. Double click the iron maiden for entrance.
There are two levels to the dungeon. The first level has everything that has to do with the Peerless Boss. The second level, entered through the crypt in the cementary, contains a champ spawn. The layout of the first level is similar to a town. There are near the entrance is open. Directly west of the entrance, is a gated cementary. Named undead spawn in and around the cementary. To the north of the cementary is that admissions building, occupied by Master Gnosos. To the north of this building is a small hut where Master Theophilus spawns. In his building is the table to drop keys. Along the east side of the dungeon, north of the entrance, is Red Death's stable. He is sometimes in his stable, and sometimes nearby. On the furthest north edge of the dungeon is the library, humble home of the oozy Monstrous Interred Grizzle. You need to complete a quest from Master Cohenn to enter. Keys Overview Five keys and a quest are needed to access the Monstrous Interred Grizzle. The keys can be obtained without the quest, but in order to make it to the Boss, you'll eventually need it. The quest is obtained from Master Cohenn, The Librarian. He can be found wandering around the northwestern part of the dungeon. He is fairly easy to find, being one of four yellow named individuals. It seems that some of the undead have stolen his thesis notes and he wants you to bring them back. He's a muttering old nutter, so you'd best do it or else! The five keys are called Disintegrating Thesis Notes. They're called this because they have a timer and will disintigrate *poof* if you're too slow. The timer lasts for about an hour. All five are identical - they look just like magery scrolls. Any of the named undead (Sir Patrick, Lady Marai, Lady Jennifyr, Master Jonath, and Master Mikael) will drop them as loot. These guys normally wander in and near the cementary. The spawn rate is fairly low, so you may have to kill 6-8 before getting one. Just keep whacking them down, and eventually you'll have enough. Once you have all five keys, you can return them to Master Cohenn (the yellow guy). He will give you the librarian's key, which has a timer of about an hour. Take this key and drop it in the northwestern most little house onto the little table. Be careful as this is the same house where Master Theophilus, the insanely evil necromancer, spawns. This will give you three teleporting papers. When double clicked, they will pop up a gump on your screen asking you if you want to teleport your party. If you click yes, it will give each member of your party that is nearby a gump asking if they wish to be teleported. This will teleport you into the Monstrous Interred Grizzle's very plush two story apartment. Peerless Boss Overiew
The Monstrous Interred Grizzle is...well....it seems to be the Frankenstein of the undead animal world. (I have no information on the resists, damage, or food preferences right now. Guess I'll take a tamer next time and let my pet die a bunch.) He has no friends, but lives alone in his lovely 2-story library.
When you are teleported in, you start on the south side of the bottom floor near the door. Careful, running back into the doorway or the teleport tile on the west side between the bookcases will result in your chicken butt being teleported outside. (If the keys have already expired, you won't be able to get back in.) After you kill him, you'll leave one of these two ways, being sent directly outside. There is a staircase leading to the second floor and a bunch of bookshelves to block your way. The Monstrous Interred Grizzle starts on the second floor. Evidently he wasn't expecting company. He was probably using one of the desks to have a nice read. Now don't you feel bad for disturbing his day? No wonder he wants to kill you. And he's pretty darn good at killing too. He has a couple of special attacks that make him a menance. First, and most annoying, he has a cacophonic blast that slows you way, way down. The effects are similar to the lag at an event (or dialup...). Second, he spits a yellow ooze onto the ground. If stepped on, this will severly damage your armor, your weapons, and your person. You have about a second to move away after he spits it. He never spawns any helpers...maybe it's the smell? The Monstrous Interred Grizzle loot includes normal peerless loot - weapons, armor, talismans, ingredients. His specials are a Grizzled Mare statue, tombstones, Grizzled armor set, Grizzled skull collection, blob o' grizzle, Grizzled bones, and the ever famous chance to drop a crimson cinture.
