==Notes==
*[[Putting Maltena to Rest]] Access Quest is needed to enter.
**The zone has nothing to do with Maltena, nor does it give a quest update. "[[Putting Maltena to Rest]]" is only the starting access quest to be able to run through this zone. Purely for fun and loot. All named monsters give aa exp, and decent loot.

*The layout is very similar to the Nektropos Castle. However, you are forced to take a specific pathway due to blocked passages.
*You need to pass through locked door or passage ways all through the zone.
*Mobs randomly drop 3 different keys which range from copper, iron, and brass.
**The different types of keys give random chance of loot or no loot for the chests they open (Iron open the small wooden chests for example).
**Tinkering recipes (ex. Blueprint: Safety Recaller) have been found in one of the chest as well as boots.
**Only the person opening the chest gets the reward.
*There is not a single location that gives AA discovery.

==Walkthrough==
#The first room is full of {{Monster|Eidolon watch dog|Eidolon watch dogs}}. In the stables can be the first named : {{Named|Demitry the Ravager|}} (will set the zone lockout), around the forge can be {{Named|Unargin the Blacksmith|}} (will not set the zone lockout). You need to kill 2 {{Named|a flesh rampager|}} 53 (severe undercons with mana drain and some sort of damage reduction) in order to unlock the door.
#After a few turns in a corridor you arrive in a room with several ghosts in it, amongst them can be {{Named|Butler Balthazen|}}. Kill them and touch the door. {{Named|The Burning Soul|}} will spawn in the firepit. He sends you some {{Monster|soul ember|}} that you need to kill. After 4 waves of minions, he will attack you. Killing him will unlock the other door of the room.
#You need to go on the corridors upto the end. You will meet {{Named|The Spirit Sucker|}} in a side way. {{Named|Maid Maltena|}} might be up in a side room as well. In the Prison {{Named|Torturess Amanda|}} can be up. {{Named|Watchman Gantder|}} can also be in the prison. In the Chapel you can find {{Named|Archbishop Z'Latten|}} or {{Named|Bichop Cephus|}} (that second named doesn't give any AA or loot). At the end of the corridors kill {{Named|Chalandria the Queen of the Cursed|}}. Killing her unlocks a secret passageway through the wall at {{Loc|-20.52|0|67.94|uid=}}; it will become highlightable and clickable. Go through the passageway.
#Reach Sheila's room. A ghost sent by her father will arrive and kill her. She will respawn as {{Named|The Cursed Remains of Shiela Everling|}} (Yes there is a typo in this name in game) along with puppets. Killing them will unlock the door of her room.
# Head towards Jenni's room, which is at {{Loc|-68.2|13.5|-2.8|uid=}}.  On the way, In the side room at {{Loc|-21.5|13.9|17.4|uid=}}, there is {{Named|Groundskeeper Edgan|}} for you to kill.
#Reach Jenni's room.  The ghost that killed Shiela arrives and kill Jenni. Once again, {{Named|The Cursed Remains of Jenni Everling|}} will spawn with some dolls. Kill them.
#Head towards Crysta's room, which is at {{Loc|74.91|13.5|2|uid=}}. To get there, go to the room at {{Loc|-27.8|13.5|-28.94|uid=}},where {{Named|Captain Greeves|}} sometimes spawns. Clear the room, then click on the teleporter at {{Loc|-20.69|13.8|-31.4|uid=}}, which will take you to another corridor, on the Western side of the zone. 
#After teleporting, head towards Crysta's room (in a side room, you'll find {{Named|Lady T'Kalin|}}). In Crysta's room, the same event as happened with the previous 2 ghosts occurs. Kill {{Named|The Cursed Remains of Crysta Everling|}} and her dolls.
#Go to Deirdra's room {{Loc|52.69|13.54|84.52|uid=}}and kill {{Named|The Cursed Remains of Deirdra Everling|}} and its dolls.
#Take the teleporter in Deirdra's room, which will take you to a corridor to the north. 
# Head to Alana's room {{Loc|-45.63|13.5|-84.21|uid=}} and kill {{Named|The Cursed Remains of Alana Everling|}}.  This will unlock the door to Melanie's room.  (Note: {{Named|The Thexian Overlord|}} is sometimes up at {{Loc|-17.39|13.77|-40.29|uid=}}).
#Head to Melanie's room {{Loc|56.68|13.42|-82.09|uid=}}. Kill {{Named|The Cursed Remains of Melanie Everling|}} after Melanie is killed by the guard. This will unlock the last door at {{Loc|17.08|13.48|-55.58|uid=}}.
#In the now unlocked room you'll finally find {{Named|Lord Everling|}}, the last event of the zone. He has knockback and many 56v spirit wisps with him when he becomes aggro, so be prepared.
