The Void Stares Back

The Void Stares Back is a new quest that was released on 6 October 2010. It is a Grandmaster quest requiring 80 Magic and some 70+ skills. It is the third and final quest in the Void Knights quest series.

The plot will revolve around the impending threat of a full-on invasion by the void pests. The quest will also include strong enemies and difficult puzzles.

Walkthrough
1. Speak to Captain Korasi. She will give you a set of Black knight armour.

2. Run to the Black Knights' fortress. When you enter you will automatically go into a dialog and will be sent to the Black Knights' base under Taverly.

3. Talk to Captain Gilroy and you will be taken to a cutscene of a black knight dying trying to open the door.

4. Search the crates and you will find out that the labels are incorrect. Captain Gilroy will tell you that he can determine the weights' actual weight.

5. If you take all the weights out of the crate you can use two on him and he will tell you which is heavier or lighter.

The results are:

Label 2 is actually 4.

Label 3 is actually 2.

Label 4 is actually 1.

Label 5 is actually 5.

Label 6 is actually 3.

After which he will tell you to correct the scales and the password of the day is fifteen in each (This may vary unsure yet.)&nbsp

The solution is:

Top Scale 3 - 5 - 3 - 4 (Alternatively, 5 - 2 - 4 - 4 also works).

Bottom Scale 2 - 2 - 5 - 6.



After you set the scales, open the door. Be ready to fight 4 void creatures: A torcher, brawler, shifter and a spinner.&nbsp Attack the spinner first as it will heal the other creatures. As you kill each they drop another security block. Be sure to get these; there are 4 in total but they stack in 2 piles.

After you collect the blocks, speak to Captian Gilroy. He will tell you to go fix the block at the mini-forge in the north west room. Now exit through the gate and head to the north-west room and use your limestone brick and hard leather on it. Now, use your logs on it and then, finally, light it with your tinderbox. After you have done all this, use the broken key and use it on the mini-forge and fix it. Now head back to the room with Captian Gilroy and place the four keys in the wall.

(If you die or need to stock up on armour and weapons, you have to go back to the black knights in Taverly dungeon and continue on from there.)

Solution to the Control Panel:



has anyone defeated the pest queen, or knows how to do it?

-the sword spec att hit's 400's,but still i don't knowif that's enough :/ (the queen hits pretty high) but the drone things just heal it back and you cant attack them. But i do know when she charges up and doesnt attack for a few seconds hide behind the barrier. it hurts.

it heals pretty fast tho, and i don't know what type of attack its using

Attack the Defiler, The Archers then attack the healers
