The goal is to find the ship Ararat, which is sunken beneath the waves.


The quest starts in Trinsic. Visit Hepler Paulson the Salvage Master at the Shipwright's.

Click on him and he will tell you of the many recent shipwrecks. He will offer to sell you special gear to help you.

Use the hook in deep water. Double click on it and then on the water. It will sink and then reapear in a few seconds.

It may bring up monsters, and you may have to go back and get more hooks, since they are one-use each. But eventually you'll get the Quest item: Broken Remains of a Shipwreck.

Take this back to Paulson. Since you don't get this as a quest in your journal, you cannot mark it as a quest item. Instead, drag it onto him to get a response.


He will send you on the next step of the quest - East Britain to visit a master tinker. Find the house.

The house is empty but go upstairs to find a book and a scroll. These indicate that Perron was in very cold lands doing research. This leads to...

Cousteau Perron is in the Snow area in Lost Lands. Right next to where the Ice Dungeon tunnel comes out.

Cousteau asks you to bring her some scales from an Ice Wyrm. Note that the one right in Ice Dungeon is a White Wyrm and its scales do not count! Go near to where the Arctic Ogre Lords reside in the southern portion of the Ice Dungeon. The Ice Wyrm is near a set of crystals.

Note that the scale will appear in your backpack when you kill the creature. They are not on its corpse!

Cousteau will tell you that the plans for the diving suit were last seen in the Sorcerer's Dungeon in Ilshenar.

Go down a few levels to find a big room with a table with a scroll on it.

Read the scroll and follow instructions. Find various reagents. Find Rock Mites, kill them, and get Brimstone. Black Pearl near desks with skeletons. Vial of blood near a pentagram. Bone in bone room.

Back to the room with the table. Read the plates and place each reagent on the appropriate one. A lich appears. Kill it and get...

Plans to a Salvager suit

Take this to Cousteau Perron back in the ice area. She gives you a list of four items to collect.

Jhelom, Madeline, Destard - hat

Bucanner's Den- Josef Skimmons. Orc Fort - Orcish Engineer- ore machine

Vesper - Cobbler. SW of Cove Brigand Camp - Mercutio- cutlass

Ilshenar- Gypsy camp - Gemologist. Kill Djinn for gem.

Take all the suit pieces back to Hepler. He gives you a map to a lake in Umbra.

Go to the dock at the lake, equip the suit, and go to the wreck. Step into the whirlpool!

Fight underwater monsters and find the shipwreck.

Find a number of parts, and the Winch Assembly. Repair it.

Then Faulinei the Shadowlord of Falsehood appears for battle!
