The Jester

Walk Through
Second Part of the Quest: Recapturing the Jester
 * 1) Speak to Laylana at 65.3S 44.3W in Graveyard.
 * 2) Speak to the Jailer inside the bunker at 64.9S 44.1W in Graveyard. Go north from the Jailer past the hidden wall and use the portal to Jester's Prison.
 * 3) Speak to the Wall, the white dot visible on radar near the north wall.
 * 4) Return to Laylana and speak to her again to get Laylana's Love Letter and the Pleading Letter.
 * 5) Take the Pleading Letter to Lord Cynreft. You'll need to complete another quest to get to him (Lord Mhoire). He'll give you Jester Prison Key when given the letter (be sure to also talk to him for the chest key for the other quest).
 * 6) Return to Jester's Prison and use the key to open the door. You'll soon come to another wall, give it the love letter. [[Media:Jester's Prison 00D7.png | MAP - Jester's Prison]] DIVERGENT CHOICE WARNING
 * 7) Here you can either break him out, or not (read the Lore below if you aren't sure which you want to do). If you don't want to break him out, recall and talk to Laylana after giving the love letter to the wall. If you want to break him out, continue with the walkthrough. There is a difference in the rewards, freeing him gives you the spell Arcane Pyramid and one 8 hour Dark Scarab. (The ways to get the scarab still need to be fully understood, for example a person that does not free him and talks to Layla can still go back down and free him for a scarab, but not spell though this may be a bug, and the Jailer provides another way to get scarabs).
 * 8) Once past the lever rooms and at the pyreal pyramids, if you die and return, the portal will take you past the lever doors. [[Image:Jester's Fool.jpg|frame|right|Being made a "Jester's Fool"]]
 * 9) Once you get to the final room, if you die the portal will return you to the last room (a Yes No dialog will pop up when using portal, Yes sends you to final room, No sends you to the pyreal pyramid hall). Kill the pillar in the middle of the room (Jester's Entombment Wall, which will spawn more guardians as soon as attacked.
 * 10) Speak to the Jester, he will give you the Arcane Pyramid. Note that if you speak to the Jester a second time he will portal you far above Graveyard and assign you a new title of "Jester's Fool."
 * 11) Return to Layla and speak to her. She will bestow the title "Jester's Emancipator" and give you ??% of your next level in xp (capped at 198 million).


 * 1) After 48 hours of having freed the Jester you can return to the Jailer to receive a new task: recapturing the Jester. The Jailer will hand you 200 Balls of Fire and a new Jester Prison Key with which to access the dungeon again.
 * 2) Travel through the dungeon just the same as before until you get the Cell portal at the end.
 * 3) The cell portal will now teleport you to a new area in which you will battle the Jester using the Balls of Fire given to you by the Jailer (try casting infected caress on individual balls for better damage). The Jester will spawn on the platforms the ring around the room and he will constantly teleport from one to another. Throw the Balls of Fire at him to kill him. He casts spells including the Arcane Pyramid spell and a spell that shoots a Cow-shaped projectile at you. After he is defeated an NPC version will appear and when you talk to him you receive another Arcane Pyramid and 100 Million xp plus the title "Jester's Accomplice".

Speaking to the Jailer: Jailer tells you, "Begone! Only Lord Cynreft may visit the prisoner." Jailer tells you, "You have not heard of the prisoner? So powerful and so very mad. Once he entertained the court of Mhoire with his antics, but that was before the betrayal. Now he is imprisoned here for all time." Jailer tells you, "Go now. You have no business here."

Using the Jester Prison Door: "You notice a marker on the door. 'This door sealed by order of Lord Cynreft.'"

'''Speaking to the Wall: The Jester tells you, "Please, you, yes you, the one talking to a wall." The Jester tells you, "You must free me. I was incarcerated without due process. Their were mitigating circumstances!" Suddenly you hear a ripple of mad laughter. The Jester tells you, "Free me and I shall give you a boon, my most magnificent friend." The Jester tells you, "Sorry about that sire. Sometimes the urge to laugh at my situation is too great." The Jester tells you, "Set me free O' noble hero! I am but a lowly court Jester who ran afoul of his wish to do good. I don't claim to be innocent, but who is? In this case though the punishment does not befit the crime." The Jester tells you, "Ok, I'm done. Please come back when you feel the need to free me." The Jester tells you, "Shhh, I'm talking to my new friend! No, go away, I'll play with you later!" The Jester tells you, "Sorry oh beneficent one. Where was I? Let's see, free me, imprisoned unjustly, laugh madly, offer the dolt a reward... Oh, right." The Jester tells you, "Free me so that I may return to my love, Laylana. She knows not what has befallen me."

Speaking again: "The Jester tells you, 'Oh, it's you again? Have you come to free me from the unjust oppression under which I am held? Come on, please!'"

Speaking to Laylana after the wall: Laylana tells you, "You found him? He is imprisoned? Oh, my love, what could have happened." Laylana tells you, "Please deliver this note to Lord Cynreft and then deliver this note to my love in his prison." Laylana gives you Pleading Letter. Laylana gives you Laylana's Love Letter.

Turning in the Pleading Letter: You give Lord Cynreft Mhoire Pleading Letter. Lord Cynreft carefully reads the letter. Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "I wish that things were different for this poor woman. But, there is no chance of the Jester's release." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "Long ago my house fled the vile corruption of Geraine and his court. I sought to protect my family and my people from the unnatural magics spreading through the other noble houses." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "We came to this small island, an ancient and little used retreat of my people. Here I hid my house from the un-death spreading through our empire. Here I hoped to plan a means of stopping Geraine and his dark reign." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "Then we were betrayed!" Lord Cynreft's ephemeral form suddenly coalesces and becomes almost solid. Grief and unspeakable anger rage within his eyes. Then he sags and fades almost from view. Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "My Court Jester, sharp of wit and nimble of foot, and lifelong friend, the last person I would expect to betray me, snuck away in the night. He met with Rytheran to bargain my house's secret location in exchange for power. I suppose he got his reward. I still don't know how that dark mage Rytheran did it, but he drove that treacherous fool mad with the power he instilled in him." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "His mind broken, he returned to my court where he caused havoc and insanity. We finally trapped him, but the death he so richly deserved was now impossible. My most deadly spells had nearly no effect on him. He had grown so powerful he was no longer empyrean. He had become something horrible and everlasting." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "I ordered him entombed for all eternity. And set guardians to watch over him." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "I fear that I cannot grant the Maiden Laylana's request. It would be unthinkable to release him." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "I do feel for her loss all the same. I myself lost those closest to me following the Jester's betrayal. I will let you deliver her Love Letter to the Jester, although it will surely mean nothing to his deranged mind." Lord Cynreft Mhoire gives you Jester Prison Key. Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "Take this key. It will grant you limited access to the Jester. Be sure that you do not listen to his rantings. He may be insane, but he remains as clever a trickster as ever he was. Above all do not try to free him. I took great measures to insure he will never be released and you would surely die in the attempt." Lord Cynreft Mhoire tells you, "I thank you again for your bravery in destroying my corrupted form."

If don't break him out, talking to Laylana: Laylana tells you, "Thank you for delivering my letter to my love." Laylana leans forward and gives you a ghostly kiss on the cheek. Laylana tells you, "I only ask you this because I know my love must have had a good reason for what he did. He was loyal to Lord Cynreft, I know it." Laylana bows her head in grief. Laylana tells you, "Yes, I respect your decision to abide by Lord Cynreft's wishes." Laylana tells you, "You should be rewarded for all you have done for me." You've earned 183,173,667 experience. (Level 196)

Note: If you wait arount too long he portals you out.
 * Jester says, "See you soon!"

Talking while you fight the wall: The Jester says, "I would have gotten out on my own, but Cynreft wouldn't let me bring my hammer and chisel." The Jester says, "Hey, I'm trying to sleep! Keep it down!" The Jester says, "My music wasn't that loud!" The Jester says, "How many adventurers does it take to knock down a wall?" The Jester says, "Show that wall who the wall bully is!" The Jester says, "Go Team, Go! Knock away that stupid wall! You the best fighter or wizard or archer of them all!" You flatten Jester's Entombment Wall's body with the force of your assault! The wall crumbles and something flashes by you. Mad giggling fills the room. Jester says, "Wahoo! I'm free! I'm free!" Jester says, "Boy it feels good to stretch my legs!"

Speaking to the Jester after breaking the wall: Jester tells you, "Thanks friend! You really did me a favor. Hmmm, what could I do for you. Hey did you ever wonder what it would be like to have six arms? Tentacles? Feelers?" Jester tells you, "Eh, too much trouble. Here take this Pal." Jester gives you Arcane Pyramid.

Speaking to the Jester after getting the Arcane Pyramid: The Jester waggles his finger in your face. Jester tells you, "Naughty naughty! You tried to trick your old pal the Jester! I already gave you a present! You need to learn a lesson little one." Jester tells you, "This will hurt you more than it hurts me." The Jester halls back and punches you in the head. Leaving the Title, "Jester's Fool", stamped there.

Speaking to Laylana after freeing the Jester: Laylana tells you, "My love is free! You have set my soul to rest my dear. May others know you as I do, the "Jester's Emancipator."" You've earned 198,157,237 experience. Laylana sighs in relief. Laylana tells you, "My love can prove his innocence now. We shall be together again someday. Thank you for your help dear."

After "Defeating" the Jester: The Jester makes a dramatic fall clutching his chest and vanishes. Jester says, "Enough games for the moment." Jester gives you Arcane Pyramid. You've earned 100,000,000 experience. The Jester stares you in the eye. A horrendous understanding begins to bloom within your mind. Just as you feel your last grip on sanity coming loose the Jester giggles and looks away. Jester tells you, "Thanks for amusing me for awhile! Better luck next time with the whole imprisoning me for eternity thing!" The Jester waggles his finger in your face. Jester tells you, "Naughty naughty! You tried to trick your old pal the Jester! I already gave you a present! You need to learn a lesson little one." Jester tells you, "This will hurt you more than it hurts me." The Jester halls back and punches you in the head. Leaving the Title, "Jester's Fool", stamped there.

Message from the Jailer 48 Hours after "Defeating" the Jester":

Jailer tells you, "You try my patience outsider! Haven't you captured the Jester yet?" Jailer tells you, "Have you mislaid the key I gave you?" Jailer tells you, "No matter. Take this one and capture the fool." You hand over all of your Jester Prison Keys. You hand over all of your Balls of Fire. Jailer gives you Jester Prison Key. Jailer gives you 200 Balls of Fire.
