Cyliena Charnel Hollow
Survive the Night
- Speak to Setri Lur’eth at /loc 1085, 0, -329 in Nektulos Forest to begin the quest. You must first complete A Nightmarish Illness if you have not done so in the past.
- Enter Charnel Hollow at /loc 885, 7, -471 on the beach in Nektulos Forest (the same gate as the Cauldron Hollow and the Hollow Hedge).
- Vikki is at /loc 941, 8, -557 by the well, but don’t hail her yet. First, setup the six flora from the zone in a semi-circle around her:
- The clicks are moved similar to house items; left-click to pick up, left-click again to set down
- The fourth Pink Plant location only appears for Assassins, Coercers, Dirges, Illusionists, Rangers, and Troubadors
- Green Plants: Found at /loc 914, 8, -505, /loc 997, 8, -586, and /loc 911, 8, -614
- Pink Plants: Found at 991, 8, -545, /loc 998, 8, -580, /loc 917, 8, -615, and /loc 963, 8, -515
- The doorsteps have optional temporary appearance weapons. Click to pick-up and automatically equip them. Any appearance weapons you had equipped will move to your inventory. Equipping one of these grants the Necrotic Carnage buff, which gives 25% bonus to Potency and +25 to Multi Attack. Equipping a second weapon sometimes drops the buff.
- (optional) Pick up a Scribbled Zombie Note at /loc 916, 10, -620 to acquire a house item with a humorous message
- Nights of the Dead Devotee achievement update: Pick up the broken canopic jar at 972, 8, -507
- Speak to Vikki and tell her that you’re ready for the dead men
- Waves of the shambling dead will begin to spawn. The waves pick up pace as they progress.
- If Vikki dies, you lose and have to restart the event from the beginning. Defend her until Dolly spawns (wave 5), then focus all effort on taking Dolly down.
- The plants will help with dealing damage to the zombies, but you must be proactive in order to keep Vikki alive
- Wave 1: Zone message of They’re coming…. At this point it will be one zombie at a time from the east.
- Wave 2: Zone message of More zombies are approaching! Zombies will come from several graveyards at the rate of 1-2 from each site.
- Wave 3: Zone message of There are more zombies coming! Zombies will spawn more quickly from most graveyards at the rate of 1-2 from each site.
- Wave 4: Zone message of Another wave of zombies is coming! Zombies will spawn even faster from all graveyards, at the rate of 1-3 from each site.
- Wave 5: Zone message of A disturbing dolly has risen from the well! Like it says, Dolly will now be at the well behind Vikki. Zombies will likely continue to attack during this phase.
- Once Dolly is dead, speak to Vikki again
- Return to Setri in Nektulos Forest to receive your reward

Thank you!!
11:40 am Pacific – Down. After about an hour of play on one character I logged to another and got dropped back to LOGIN. Okay. Attempt to Log in.. and LaunchPad shows an invalid login or password. Upon attempting to log to Support: “The system has encountered an error. Please come back and try again later.” The preceding is a statement of fact. The following is an opinion: Perhaps a warning of about a week..PLAINLY posted in several locations… followed by a week long FULL SHUT DOWN while the chaos ensues..instead of pretending everything is going fine, launching new expansions, asking for pre-order commitments from players, engaging in holiday events and moving offices all at the same time.. It is no wander (and this is a metaphor) that I cringe when you offer to change a light bulb: The house is falling down!
Cyliena, please would you consider putting up a table with this info? The Quest Tracker from Zam was an essential part of every EQ2 holiday for me 🙂
Oh yes, knew I was missing something. I’ll see if there’s a way we can get a printable of those event trackers over here. Since there were no new quests this year, last year’s NotD tracker on ZAM will still work for now. 🙂
A Nightmarish Illness is bugged. The “a grime covered hand holding a key” did not drop from the mobs in the 2nd graveyard, making this quest uncompletable for me.
I thought that happened to me once, and it turned out I missed “waking up” one of the zombies. Another time I accidentally let the key rot on the corpse. If anything, leaving and re-entering the zone should usually fix it.
