I'm never, EVER going in Befallen again (long)
Nibiru
15's
here is my sad story.. going from Neriak to Highpass for a restful
get-away to work on pottery skill some more.. since freeport won't
sell to me without illusions up, and they don't have vial sketches..
also, Highpass has some good fishing places, with oven close by..
Bad desicion #1:
anyways, jogging thru west commons, a midget asks me if I want to goto
level 2 of befallen with him and his buddy, so I figure its 7pm now,
never get thru Kithicor, so kill some time in Befallen..
Bad desicion #2:
stomping aroung level 2, blasting this, nuking that.. getting heals
from cleric in the group, having a good ole time.. THEN one of the
dwarves falls into a hole in the floor and ends up on level 3 !! it
just happened to be a tank with no gate.. ends up in an empty room.
we laugh a little about the situation.. then we can hear him getting
attacked by some putrid skelts.. so me and other midget descide to
jump in hole, clear the room and get him out.
we are pounding away, and they keep coming.. mana running low.. ack,
another ghoul.. oh dear a mummy.. no, two mummies.. more skelts..
gate.. (interrupted) gate. (interrupted) . gate.. *insufficient mana*
loading... please wait
ack, I'm naked
naked dwarf cleric beside me
tank in friggin FREEPORT !!
wait around, laugh a little.. lets go get corpses. we got invisible
to undead, they can't harm us !!
/occ can someone please open door #1 for us for corpse retrieval?
door creaks, run on in. zip past all the greater skelts..
your entire party has been slain by acolyte
loading..please wait
okie, we need some help at this point.. level 40 paladin (god bless
him) and a lvl 30ish bard show up.. we got muscle AND invis to undead
now, they can't harm us..
stand around, watch them clear the way for us.. like moses parting the
Blood Red Sea.. door is locked, you do not have the key.. noone has
the friggin glass key !! Troll shadow knight has it, easy kill for
all this muscle.. wait around, joke a little.. found 200 silver pieces
on the floor.. YAY sk spawns and runs away after a few hits from our
muscle.. they'll go chase it, we'll be safe here, they can't harm
us..
only you have been slain by acolyte
loading..please wait
standing at steps on level 1, see the entire party, muscle and all..
running away from 10 baddies.. includeing the friendly neighborhood
acolyte.. "zone goddammit".. so I do.. whew everyone made it out
and I'm back with party.. and got the glass key.. yay !!
med up, heal up. ingenious thought.. give /consent to the pally, he
can drag up the corpses, no problem, we'll be topside, they can't harm
us.
Niburu, I don't see your corpse here, I see some midgets tho. oh no,
that bastard is stealing my stuff.. keep cool, he's been with us for 2
hours already, and I have nothing on my corpse of any real value to
him.. plus he's palladin with roleplaying turned on.. its all cool..
corpse has to be in there, I died right beside them. nope, not here,
and I can't drag the midgets. must have corpse key on.. whatever that
means.. well, crap, have to go back down..
invis undead, walk past greaters skelts, avoid acolytes.. open level
3 door.. almost there.. wait for it.. YES.. dwarf is looting his
corpse.. other on top of rocks.. where is mine?? oh, must be the
arm sticking out of the rocks.. nope..
you have been slain by ghoul
loading...please wait
/g you sure you didn't see my corpse down there?
nope..
/petition I think my corpse is stuck in a wall in befallen
I will be there in a few minutes. within 45 seconds, a gm appears
right beside me. 10 more seconds, corpse is summoned right beside me.
this the right one? of course it is, only one with clothes on :)
three cheers for helpful GM, will have to check logfile to find out
her name..
loot corpse.. wait for others come back to wc zone.. regroup,
muscle leaves.. midget: so you want to go back in?
and the mighty Innoruuk must have been trying to tell me something,
because at that instant, the game crashed to windows desktop... and I
began posting this note.. I just didn't go link dead, the entire game
shut down !! guess someone else made my choice for me..
and I shall never darken the halls of Befallen again

That sounds all too familiar. My Paladin met the same fate at level 17.
I fell through the hole and kept wading through an, ever deeper, pile of
mine and my party members corpses to get to it. Eventually, I did a
/who all 30 50 in EC and found a very nice level 42 Cleric to drag my
corpse out. He even ressed me without asking. I like clerics.
I don't think anyone who falls through that hole before level 20 will ever
forget it. I am still scared of that zone at level 28 because of that day.
I just stay right by the zone and wait for Gynok when I am there now.

You can jump into the hole and walk back to that last door and attack the
wisp. If the wisp is green to you, it will run OUT the door, opening it for
you. You don't need a key for that.
Let it run out, eventually, it'll come back to attack you, again opening the
door.
just some FYI...

on 3rd level, lluckily a cleric dragged my corpse to the top lvl for me...
i love em too!

and if you need vial sketches look at the building to the left of the first
inn in East Commands coming from Freeport. You can buy them there.

Anyone under 20 is going to be mobbed by ice bones, thaumaturgists, skels and
mummies and that damn elf skel that pops by the door. Throw in a couple ghouls
for good measure and that equals a quick corpse.
Lower levels have a couple options if you fall in that hole.
Option 1 stay put and wait for rescue. A full group of 15's can pretty easily clear a
way to you. Only need 3 around lvl 20. You have to have the glass key first.
Option 2 run like hell for the level 3 door. Its not that far, you will get mobbed and die
but you can summon your corpse from the bottom of stairs on opposite side and
all you need to get there is the lvl 1 key. Doing the death run once will save alot of
time and subsequent deaths. I play a warrior and whenever we get mobbed on lvl
3 I try to pull all the mobs off the casters, let them gate and if I can make it back
to the door even without the key I am happy. Never had a problem getting corpse
back from that spot even with no help.

the inclined wall under the hole, basically press yourself against the
ceiling in that room. When you die, your corpse will be easily accessible
from the room above.

Cleric, i was a lvl 15 Druid)
we were running around, doing a good job of killing stuff and taking minimal
damage..
i run down some hall way. the door the right is locked, but the door on the
left just opened. "whats in here?" i run in ...
*crash* - hit by non melee for like 12...
/g shit! dont follow me into that room..
..says to your group 'what happened?'
/g it was a fake floor. i see a door, ill try to find my way out.. stay near
the exit.
i open a door, a mummy comes out (no big deal), but then a Necro and his pet
(both even cons) run in.. i focus on the Necro, but im still dead pretty
quick..
i run back from Rivervale, run into Befallen, down the steps (full speed,
SOWed and everything, through the first locked door as a *rat* opened it)
and I dive into the floor. i start to loot my corpse when all of a sudden
someone that i passed coming in obviously followed my lead and fell in right
next to me.. as i finish looting, i start to cast Gate - at the same time
this person opens the door.. the same shit pours in again.. i see him
getting whacked hard, and a mummy coming right at me as gate finishes. .. it
was close.

What's a key? Don't you just pick the locks?

happened to me and a wizzie friend once. We fell through the
hole, and got killed. We couldn't get out, we couldn't get in.
We had to go through the hole again to get our corpses. We both
had gate, not a problem. I've got invis to undead, invis he and
I, get in, get corpses, get out. Right?
Wrong.
Died twice more before my wizzie friend got the bright idea to
summon his corpse from above the hole,and that actually worked.
We summoned both our corpses from above the hole.

can use the corpse command to summon your corpse.
Another way to get yourself out of the bottom floor is to have someone cast
levitate on you and climb up the slope backwards.

befallen. I think this is why it name be-fall-en?
I am earliest player in my server and fall into there at lvl 16 with
my partner 15 SDK. I can't found any high level help (highest was 25
only in the server and not in zone around). I finally got a 19 NEC,
16 Mage and 16 Ranger help. At the end, we all dead at level 3! I
totally dead 4 times and lost a level. I logout and wait until busy
hour, got full team 20-22 and I team with 17-19. 2 teams go down and
clear the level 3. I found 2 of my corpse, but the equiped corpse was
decay!
I finally lost all equipment and 1 level exp! What I gain is real
experience : "Don't go anywhere without expert leading" unless you
don't mind dead!

Option 3 is to stand up on the cave in and take your death like a man. You
can frequently /corpse yourself through the floor and haul it up to the
level 2 room.

Don't you have a week offline, or 24hours in-game time to get your
body before it decays after level 5?

Sure do, which means his corpse *may* have been teleported to the
cat room (the room around the corner from the zone line with pictures
of cats on the walls - you have to be there to know what I mean.)
Directions to the cat room : looking at the door to level 3 at the top of
the stairs on the right side back up into the rocks in the corner until
you get stuck (can take a while to do) and once you are stuck while
standing type /exit, next come back in and POOF it will teleport
you to the hall outside the cat room. In the center of the cat room
will probably be a couple corpses that people have 'lost'. Make
sure you write down the names for any with equipment and try
to send tells to them on how to recover thier corpse.
I helped a poor druid that died on level 3 and had trouble finding
the corpse, a check with a cracked bone rod (sold at same place
as potions, crystals etc, has 3 charges of locate corpse) had me
pointing to no regular part of the dungeon. A quick check of the
cat room and there it was!

<Snip Everquest at its most frustrating :) >
I teamed up with another level 14 ranger to go down into Befallen.
We also fell down the hole, but luckily the mobs of the area were
easily handled by us. There was a higher level group around which
could acount for why we didnt see any 'acolates' - or ghools in the
nearby vacinity though.
We did get into some trouble once when a skell decided to run away (we
had given up on snaring things as none of the previous skells had
tried running) straight past a necro buddy of his complete with pet.
Dam scary down there, especially when you don't know if you actually
can get back up to level 2, but also dam good fun :)
Nice to also have your magical combine be useful for something other
than wisp killing - although it was a sound investment for this reason
alone.
*** And by the sound of the other anguished replies that I've now
read, it looks as if that higher level party did indeed have a larger
impact on our escape than I originally thought. - We never even
realised that you might need a 2nd key to get back from there??? ***

bodies that is sitting right in inside the entrance to the zone? That is
where all those corpses you can't find end up. It must be the 0,0 point or
something. The other night a couple of us were camping the Troll SK, when
we were trained and my partner couldn't find their corpse afterwards, after
a few more deaths looking all over for it, we met two others having similar
problems. It was 4am PST so no GMs to be found. Well, after way too many
deaths and near escapes, my original partner gave up and logged off.
Exactly one minute later as I'm high tailing it to the zone, I see the pile
of bodies, and there lies my partners original corpse, plus the corpse of
the other fellow we were "helping". So, moral to the story: ALWAYS CHECK
THE CORPSE PILE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE ZONE BEFORE LOOKING FOR YOUR CORPSE
WHERE YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE
Hope this saves somebody some grief down the road.
