Tomb of the Shadow Lord - how to get to first and third chests?

[GuntherBovine]

I've figured how to get to the second chest. I've figured out how to open the secret doors to reveal the first and third chests, but both of them are way up high on the wall with no apparent ladder or means of reaching them. What am I missing? I've watch several videos on that quest, but in none of them does anyone get any of the non-final boss chests.

IIRC there is a hidden ladder behind the glowing tapestries... you have to skillfully jump on and then off the ladder to get them.


Chests: 1 end chest, 3 chests up ladders behind banners

Thanks. The ladder leads up to the left side of the opening to the chest. I tried jumping onto the wall below the chest but apparently didn't jump onto the right spot. Once I knew that jumping wasn't a waste of time, I jumped enough to find the ladders.

Sweet. I figured out how to get all of the chests while soloing the quest and I'll have that in my video.

The DDO Wiki page (http://ddowiki.com/page/Tomb_of_the_Shadow_Lord) now has a walk through to get all of the chests while soloing.

You're wrong about the first chest requirements. I just got it with a single hireling and no pets. I also dropped the bridge.

To get the chest, you first need to go up and pull the lever while the hireling is stationed down to let you back out. (have auto-target off and use the mouse to click the lever, not Q+E to not lose the focus of the hire's lever). Then you have the hire stationed up and you go get the chest and light the rune. Because you're too far away or you clicked on a chest item, you probably don't have the hire's lever still selected. No problem, because you can target it again with Q if you position yourself correctly.

Besides, even if you lose focus of the lever, the hire will use the last object used if commanded to use something.

I'll correct your walkthrough once I have the time.

Cool. I learned a lot from that.
