Once your party has acquired the Chant of the Dead by completing the Act II secondary quest A Dark Ohm, find any one of the eighteen requisite ghosts and the nearby Incantation Shrine. The first ghost found and spoken to will initiate this quest.

You may wish to clear all enemies out of the area between the shrine and the spirit before initiating this procedure. Move your party onto the Incantation Shrine and access your game journal, first selecting Lore, then chants. Turn to page 5 and select the bottom left chant, which is the Chant of the Dead. Click on "Chant" to enable conversation with the nearby ghost. The chant's duration is 300 seconds (5 minutes), so your characters do not need to hurry off to greet the spirit. Once conversation has been initiated, choose the more polite first response to receive the quest section reward, as the second brusque one will simply terminate the conversation. Further if the 300 second time limit runs out after you've initiated the converstaion with a ghost, the conversation can continue to normal termination. What you choose to do after releasing each spirit is up to you as you more than likely will not start with number one and do nothing other than find the next seventeen spirits and release them with no other intervening activities.

Note that this section of the quest can not be undertaken until Act III, Chapter 2 (The Morden Chief) has been initiated.

Note that this section of the quest can not be undertaken until Act III, Chapter 2 (The Morden Chief) has been initiated. Further you would be wise to defer it until you've cleaned out the city as it's full of Morden enemies. You will enter the city as part of the primary quests. This ghost is relatively easy to find, given that it's standing behind two large spiked cones to the east of the burning depression in the center of town. As your party heads into town, you'll see a cut scene, where the Morden Lieutenant, who hurried off from Kalrathia to tell the chief that your party had restored the water flow, spies your group and attacks with a number of Morden soldiers and archers. Defeat the lieutenant and his minions for the key to the District of the Sword, which is the section northeast of the teleporter. Enter that area and defeat the lieutenant within to gain the key to the District of the Crossbow, which is the section situated southwest of the teleporter. Head west from the center of town, under the broken arch, and enter through the door to the south, with crossbows to either side. Head east through the door, then southeast just a bit, and finally south toward the Darthrul Incantation Shrine. Enter the shrine and chant the Chant of the Dead, then send your party back north toward the stairs and head through the door to the east just before reaching the stairs. Head out through the outer door in this room to the east back out into the city. Head between the overturned wagon and the large spiked cone toward the ghost beyond, which is clearly visible. Speak to the spirit. Select the polite first response to release it and receive your reward and reduce the remaining spirits to be laid to rest by one.

You can not accomplish this task until you have initiated Act III, Chapter 6 (The Agallan Trial) and should do so during completion of this primary quest. Teleport to Kalrathia if not already there and head down the stairs from the Kalrathia teleporter and continue down the following southeastern stairway, passing by the fountain on the south side. Enter the building where young Lord Kalrathia and his traitorous advisor Kynos can be found and speak with Advisor Kynos to learn that young Lord Kalrathia has died. He'll tell your party to go see for themselves and when they do they find that Lord Kalrathia hasn't quite departed the living yet. Advisor Kynos is suspected of having been up to no good. Go back out and confront him and you'll learn why he's been so dead set against your group's interference and he'll attack your party. Once they defeat him, they'll receive the Kalrathian Crystal, which unlocks the entrance to the Agallan Trial area, underneath the city, plus the Kalrathia House Key, which unlocks Kynos' heretofore barred front door.

Head outside to the fountain and place the Kalrathian Crystal on the sparkly stone post in the southeast corner of the fountain to lower it, revealing an elevator on top. Left click on any of the four buttons arrayed about the elevator to descend, then proceed west onto An Ancient Stairway Beneath Kalrathia. Proceed downward into An Ancient Chamber Beneath Kalrathia, where you'll note a magically locked door to the west and a star on your compass map to the north. Once the cut scene, giving you information about the trials before your group, has been viewed, speak to the Azunite Ancestor, to unlock the magically barred door, then head through that door (to the west). Walk down the long stairway, then turn north and walk down another long stairway. As they near the bottom, the Incantation Shrine can be seen from the east side of the stairway. Open the door at the bottom and proceed onto a platform above the western waterway. Head east, then down the stairs to the north and into the sluice way and turn west. Left click on the sluice way gate to raise it, allowing the soon to be turned on water to get where it needs to go, then move under it and forward to turn the valve, which causes water to begin running in the western waterway. Go north through the fairly symmetrical opening in the wall into the tunnel beyond.

The tunnel soon turns to the west, then branches out to the north and south. Head south and turn east at the camp fire, where the ghost is standing just beyond it back near the south wall in front of two boulders. Continue just a short ways farther, finally turning up a ramp and into a room, containing the Agallan Trial Area Incantation Shrine. Enter the shrine and chant the Chant of the Dead, then send your party back the way they came to the ghost and speak to it and select the polite first response to release it and receive your reward and reduce the remaining spirits to be laid to rest by one. Continue with the primary quest.

You can not accomplish this task until you have initiated Act III, Chapter 8 (Zaramoth's Horns) and should do so during completion of this primary quest. The path up to the Lower Zaramoth's Horns Teleporter from the entrance is completly linear (i.e. your party can only go forward along one path). About a thrid of the way through the area between the Lower Zaramoth's Horns Teleporter and the Upper Zaramoth's Horns Teleporter, they'll encounter a stairway up to the Zaramoth's Horns Incantation Shrine upon a platform in a large rectangular room, which them must pass through. Enter the shrine and chant the Chant of the Dead, then send your party down the steps and straight east towared the nearby spirit, heading over to the wall, then turning north a short distance, and passing through a gap in the wall near the end. Turn south and walk along the wall a few steps to find the final spirit. Speak to it and select the polite first response to release it and receive your reward and reduce the remaining spirits to be laid to rest by one. This completes this long quest! Continue with the primary quest or another secondary quest.
