Burglars Afoot: Herald of Dar

[janmystique]

<p>Does anyone know what has happened to the Herald of Dar? I am doing this quest with a friend. Went to TT in the early sixties (my level not the year!) and found Dar. My friend took the map. We waited for another hour for a respawn which didn't happen. I have since been back a number of times but no sign of him. I even had a tracker in to make sure he wasn't around! The quest has gone from blue to grey in the time I have been looking. What a pain!</p>

<p>We tried this a couple weeks ago with the same results . . . decided to wander a bit and the Herald jumped us at the entrance to the Temple of Scale . . . he was not on track, just popped in on us and he was grey.</p>

[Errolflynn]

<p>Yes he pops when you get close to the Temple of Scale. Beware he will pull the two ^^^'s with him that are near the entrance.</p><p>I just ran off the two adds and killed the herald on my Dirge a week or so ago.</p>

<p>He jumped us near there and was killed easy enough. he didnt come again for the other person though.. and we went pretty near the entrance.</p>

I was peering not very cautiously round the corner when whoosh...there they all were!</p><p>Since then I have, more cautiously, peered round the corner, jumped over the step and performed a Freeportian War Dance on the spawn spot and still, alas and alack - he was so frightened of me he failed to turn up and fight!</p><p>Maybe my timing is wrong or something. I may return and do this I suppose as it is bugging me now but I have moved on from TT so maybe I will just delete it. I don't like to be beaten though.</p>

<p>The Herald of Dar walks from the entrance of the Temple of Scale to the Shrine of the Wurmking.</p><p>While I wait for him, I entertain myself by harvesting roots and picking up shinies, and killing the occasional droag.</p>

<p>Did this a few weeks ago myself.  It seems to bug if you have multiple people on the same step.  He'll spawn the first time, but will then refuse to spawn again.  I ended up deleting the quest and starting over from the beginning and he spawned immediately on approach to the temple door.</p>

I am going from bad to worse here. I thought it was a good idea to delete the quest since I couldn't get Dar to spawn. Deleted - then looked up how to get it again - only to find out that the quest comes as a kind of auto-offering upon completion of the previous quest! Some folks are hasty I agree!</p><p>Well, given that I couldn't seem to progress, it maybe wasn't a bad idea. Any idea how to get the quest back again? I wouldn't bother except it is the second quest in the very long claymore questline and I would like to pursue it at some point.</p><p>Thank you all!</p>

<p>sure you can get the quest again. Just drop down the waterfall and search around the area and you'll be offered the quest again.</p>
