Necropolis Notes

  • 1 of 8: There's a cabinet in Gravedigger Shen's house that you can raid, plus a headstone along the south fence in his backyard.
  • 2 of 8: There's a scrollstand that you can read for XP in the first big, circular "spirit arena" thing that you come to.
  • 3 of 8: You can find the Demon Staff by searching some bones that are along the south fence in the area with the entrance to the Unfinished Tomb in it. (If you need directions to get there, see the "Fading Moon's Bounty" subquest.)
  • 4 of 8: There's also an XP-giving scrollstand near the door to the Unfinished Tomb, plus two spirit fonts inside it.
  • 5 of 8: Another scrollstand can be found next to the door of the big pagoda that's near the NE end of the region.
  • 6 of 8: There's a lootable headstone next to the "spirit arena" entrance that's nearest to the Tomb of Ji Xin.
  • 7 of 8: Follow the path that leads off north from near the Tomb of Ji Xin to reach some large gates. An Ultimate Monk Gem (Spirit +12) can be found in some bones that are to the left of the gates.
  • 8 of 8: Past those large gates are two spirit fonts, two headstones you can bash for treasure, and a set of bones that you can loot.
