Level: 68
Starting Zone: Palace of the Awakened (Kingdom of Sky)
Starting NPC: Item Triggered

– You may receive this quest after completing “The Visage of Aersterok.” This is 17th quest in the Claymore hallmark quest series.

– Return to the tome in the foyer of Palace of Awakening to continue this series. The tome tells you to find clues of the 4 Maidens of Theer.

– These are statues on the second floor circling the center of the rotunda. There are 6 statues but only 4 give you the updates. After you inspect all 4 you will need to inspect them again. You will recieve 4 sub quests.

• “An Appetite for Coadjutants” – You must kill 6 Blacktalon Coadjutants.
• “An Appetite for Partisans” – Kill 7 Partisans.
• “An Appetite for Initiates” – You must kill 9 Blacktalon Intitates.
• “An Appetite for Palace Guards/Knights” – You must kill 8 Palace Knights or 8 Palace Guards.

– There was and may stiill be a bug with the order you accept the quests. Just make sure you pick an appetite for palace Guards\Knights as you last quest and you should be fine. Complete all the subquests by killing mobs with the same names. Initiates were easier to find on the first floor in the wings.

– Once you have your kill updates turn them in to the appropriate statues. You will then be asked to walk the circle to claim your reward. All you need to do here is stand on the circle that is under the climable wall near the statues. This makes 4 suits of armor spawn, they are all linked. You have 5 minutes to kill them. Once dead you are rewarded with a star key. Examine this to start the next quest in the series, “A Star to Unlock.”

Visage of Aeristock

Level: 68
Starting Zone: Palace of the Awakened (Kingdom of Sky)
Starting NPC: Triggered Item

– This is the 16th quest in the Qeynos Claymore series of quests.

– It is available after completing “The Quill of the Flock.” It starts by reading the Book of Salutations in the foyer of Palace of the Awakened. Next, inspect the Visage of Aeristok in the center of the fountain on the first floor of the Palace.

– Once you inspect the Visage of Aeristok, you have to collect six Eyes of Aeristok, which are ground spawns that must be harvested throughout the first floor of the palace. There are three in each wing. There appear to be multiple spawn points for each eye. They’re rather hard to miss, since they glow extremely brightly and appear to show up onscreen at quite a distance.

– After collecting all six eyes, you must kill Palace Sentinels and/or Vigilants for six uncommon autoupdating pieces. (If you are doing this as a group – this is another quest in the series where one may get the update while another group member will not.) The drop rate is somewhat low; 25% or less. After getting all six autoupdates, return to the Visage of Aeristok and place the eyes in the base of the statue. Doing so spawns a level 67^^ named ghost, The Visage of Aeristok. Kill him to complete the quest. Return again to the tome in the foyer.

This unlocks the 17th quest in the Claymore series, “The Maiden’s Reception.”

– Inspect the quill you received in the previous quest. It will ask you to find a page to use it on. Return to the tome at the zone in and read thru the dialogue.

– The tome asks you to retreive 10 stolen scythes, these are from the palace guards in the foyer but they are not an auto update. Slay them till everyone in group has all 10. We also found that not everyone gets the same updates. Afer you have all 10 you will be prompted to place the scythes, before doing this clear the foyer and the room after to the left after the foyer.

– In the first room are two statues you have to mouse over them till you get a message that is different then just the statues name. you will place both sets of scythes. This initates a 5 Minute timer. You need to slay the champions and take there weapons. These champions spawn down the foyer.

– Once all are slain you will need to place the spears in the racks, this is the room to the left of the foyer and hanging on the wall are the 4 racks.

– After you have placed all the spears you will be asked to retrieve your reward from the chest, the chest is in the foyer to the right of the zone in behind the statue.

The Great Egg Hunt

Level: 65
Starting Zone: The Barren Sky (Kingdom of Sky)
Starting NPC: High Guard Maeverick

– This is the 13th quest in the Qeynos Claymore series of quests. It is available after completing “Expedition to the Barren Sky.” It is initiated by speaking with High Guard Maeverick at the Windgazer Hideout in Barren Sky. If he is not at the hideout, he is currently captured and you will have to free him. This can be accomplished by heading to Prisoner Isle. Kill all the Wing Clippers on the island before they respawn to free him.

– Once you have the quest, you must head to the Nest of the Great Egg, which is an instance zone in Barren Sky, near the Windgazer Hideout. First you must collect six eggs for Maeverick, all of which are ground spawns within the Nest. You can only see them if you are currently on The Great Egg Hunt. There appear to be at least three of each egg that spawn in random locations throughout the nest, so more than one person can complete this quest per instance. Once you have collected all six eggs, you must kill Chamberlain X’Haviz. Return to Maeverick in Barren Sky for your reward. You may have to free him a second time if he’s been captured again. This unlocks the 14th quest in the Claymore series, “Scaled Salutations.”
