Fishy Research

Requirements: Requires completion of the 'Fishy for the King!' quest to access this quest

Greetings, stranger. I am Benthos, the Necroangler. Help me complete my research on the natural… and unnatural… fish found in the waters of the Isle of the Dead and I will give you my special fishing rod.

+ When Completed

Fascinating. Look at the structures that are unique to these fish that help them flee or fight the undead in the waters. Truly fascinating.

Gill or be Gilled

From the last samples that you brought me, I think I might be on the verge of discovering a rare from of parasite that only infects undead sealife, but I need a rare Silverback Gupper to finish my work…

+ When Completed

Yes! See here? The parasite breeds in the gills of species of Gupper. It is completely harmless to the living fish but when it matures it leaves the gills and seeks out undead hosts to feed on. It feeds on necrotic energy!
FASCINATING!

That Special Flesh

My work is almost complete. I will need to see how these necrotic parasites affect the body. Isle of the Dead is home to a horrendous fish that mimics flesh. I can use these to study the effects of the parasites. Bring me three of them and I will be able to complete my work.

+ When Completed

AH HA! You have returned! These are all the fish that I need! I know that could not have been easy. Please, accept my fishing pole with my gratitude. You may wish to try this rod out somewhere a little warmer and sunnier…

Pins and Needles

Requirements: Requires completion of the 'A Friendly Competition' quest to access this quest

The dark magics that surround this Isle have had a strange effect on the aquatic life here. They swim as if possessed by some sort of ghostly force. Most people are horrified, but I am curious as to if there is truly a dark origin to these rumors.

+ When Completed

I see. Doomed Darts are known for the seemingly dark aura that emanates from their eyes. Is there something more?

Items Required:

• Doomed Dart x100
  • Fish Doomed Dart at Island of the Dead on 145 300 power nodes

Hard to Swallow

What could be giving these lifeless-looking fish their dark energies? I have seen evidence of animated BONES that swim around the Isles. This can't be possible can it?

+ When Completed

Swimming Fish Bones! How horrendous and delightful… I will need to keep these as specimens to further study. They would make a lovely addition to my home aquarium as well.

Items Required:

• Fish Bones x80
  • Fish Fish Bones at Island of the Dead on 145 300 power nodes

Anti-Acid

As you know, the waters around the Isle of the Dead is quite acidic. It's a marvel that any living (or un-living as it work) creature can survive for long at all. I'm sure you've noticed a tingling feeling in your feet when you've dipped your toes in? I would like to study the further effects that these waters have long term. Of course I would never presume to offer you up to volunteer… unless?

+ When Completed

Fascinating… This Skullen's flesh is burned right through to its skull. Yet the bone has developed a coating that helps protect the rest of the fish from the acidic waters of the Isle.

Items Required:

• Skullen x60
  • Fish Skullen at Island of the Dead on 145 300 power nodes

Pierced Through

Previously, you assisted me in my research by bringing me some Muscles. These gross, fleshy fish mimic the flesh of the living. The dark waters of Isle of the Dead cause them to react and twitch in ways that make them seem out of this world. Shall we find out what makes them… twitch?

+ When Completed

Aha! Have you noticed? All of these fish that you have brought me have had remnants of… something- attached to them! Could this be the secret?

Items Required:

• Muscles x20
  • Fish Muscles at Island of the Dead on 145 300 power nodes

A Permanent Attachment

Whatever has attached itself to these fish must be the source of the power and keeping them animated. Is this a symbiotic relationship? Or a parasitic one?

+ When Completed

Intriguing! These Shadow Lampreys must be feeding on the life forces of these fish, yet providing them with enough energy to continue moving about the waters. I will take these back with me for further study.
Please take these with you as a token of my gratitude. They still hold residual energies from the Isle but they shouldn't harm you… much.

You also gain the Title: Pierced!
