Erewhon2 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I have just completed the Summer's End quest, I really struggled with this initially as many people seem to! I read the guides but just couldn't stay ahead of the beast. In the end I decided to do a 'dry run' taking nothing but the bare essentials with me. Yes I died, but I didn't lose anything and I started to get to know the layout. I realised that my 'practice run' was actually an excellent method for achieving this quest. So I decided to go for it. For the first cave I took an axe, tinder box and Jennica's ring, I used a games necklace to the Wildy Volcano then deposited it in the bank there. So now I only had 3 items on me, no armour and no food. I cut the logs and lit one pyre at a time, so each time I died, I had one less to light. For the second cave I took a spade and Jennica's ring, and again deposited my games necklace in the Wildy bank. For those with lower agility they could use the extra space for an agility pot. Just make sure you get a Dark Core into the hole each time before you die. For the final cave I took Jennica's ring and a glory. One thing the Tip.It guides don't explain well is how to identify the grave that the correct spirit is in. You will see a single colour and shape jump from a grave to another, that is the one you should follow, then when the beast attacks with that colour, bless the grave that the colour is in. I found it much easier to follow one colour at a time. And don't forget to recharge your prayer at the altar in the last cave! I had to recharge after every grave I blessed. If you don't mind the running around (and there is a lot of it in this quest!), this method removed the frustration from the quest and was actually quite quick. It is certainly a method I will recommend to friends, and if you are superman you may not even die lol :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 No offence to the writer, but that last chamber on tip.it guide is AWEFULLY explained. Since Summer's End has come out on average I'd say I've had to explain it to people in help advice or in-game atleast once (possibly twice) a month.The one colour at a time method is MUCH more straight forward to follow, easier to put into words and easier to succeed at without dying.

Well you were more 'up front' than me lol, but yes the tip.it guide on the last chamber was not helpful, but hopefully they can update that now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokemama Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks erewhon2, the guide has been updated to show your method as well as the original, and you have been credited. it's a lot easier to get over yourself when you look at intelligence the same way you look at beauty, or height, or eye color: being smart is easy, but being good is hard ... being smart is handed to you, being good is handed to *nobody*.
