The Sewers of Nihilia - Lair of the Trapped Ones (GoD Progression)

 This is the final Sewers of Nihilia task given to you by High Priest Diru Riwirn for GoD Progression. Before we get into the specifics of this task, let's talk about some of the universal things all of the Sewers of Nihilia tasks share in common.

 First up, all of the enemies throughout this task respawn and hit for about a max of 1k each if you're during the GoD expansion pack. As far as the named enemies go, after you defeat 9 - 12 of each type, that type's named will have a chance to spawn in any of the placeholder positions after that. To be more clear, defeat 9 - 12 turtles then you'll be able to get the turtle named to spawn.

 Now, as far as this specific task goes; there are five steps that you need to complete for this task. They're listed as follows for a quick read for those who don't need the strategy.

1. Go to the northern most portion of the zone and speak with Alej Leraji
2. Give Alej Leraji Seal of the Nihil Priest
3. (60 Minute Timer Begins) Collect all 3 tools and bring them back to Alej Leraji
4. Water Wheel Room; Cocoon Room and Entrance Room All Have Tools - go there and defeat the enemies until you get an emote (shown below).
5. Return to Alej Leraji and say to him, "I have found your three stone shaping tools"

Note: If you don't give the Seal of the Nihil Priest to Alej Leraji you will only get a 'temporary' character flag. Before entering this instance make sure you speak with High Priest Diru Riwirn and obtain the Seal.

The first half of this instance is basically just non stop clearing of trash mobs as you and your group move north. Luckily we don't have to clear all this trash a second time since once we hail Alej the majority of trash in this zone depops. Once you make it to the northern most portion of the map, if Alej isn't spawned yet then clear the enemies in his room as well as the few enemies in the oval room below him. This usually always got him to pop for me.

Hail Alej Leraji and then hand him Seal of the Nihil High Priest once he spawns for you. Everyone in the group should hand hm their Seal of the Nihil Priest, if you don't you'll only get a temporary character flag for completing this task - which means you'll have to repeat the whole thing again. It happened to me!

After giving him the seal almost all of the enemies in this instance will despawn and it'll start a 60 minute timer. What you need to do now is go to three different rooms throughout the zone... The Water Wheel Room, Cocoon Room and Entrance Room. In each of these three locations you need to defeat enemies until you see an emote. The emote you're looking for in each of these three rooms is listed below.

Water Wheel Room Emote: As the nihil spirit falls, you catch a glimpse of an item in the corner of the room. You have acquired [Alej's Stone Breaking Powder Bag].

Cocoon Room Emote: The bug falls to the ground, revealing an item that seemed like it wasn't there before. You have acquired [Alej's Stone Shaping Sceptre].

Entrance Room Emote: You hear a large thud as the golem crashes down on the hard stone floor. As the dust settles, a sparkle of an item appears in the front of the room. You have acquired [Alej's Stone Melding Orb].

Return to Alej Leraji once your group has gotten all three emotes and say to him, "I have found your three stone sharpening tools." to complete the expedition. If you only get a temporary flag instead of a permanent one - try hailing Alej and saying all the dialogue options to him; maybe it'll fix it!
