The Quest Lines
Tartarus Map III ships with eight quest lines — long, themed chains of quests that walk you from your first mine block to the deepest corners of the underworld. Each line has its own difficulty (Starter, Core, or Advanced) and a few end on a cosmetic title to wear as proof you finished it.
The eight lines
Path of the Ancients — Starter
The main line, and the only one open from the moment you join. It covers the tutorial — claim the Lost Miner's pickaxe, mine 25 coal, hear out the storytellers, take the exit portal — then hands you the rest of the server: enchanting at the wormhole, the Rental Yard after level 30, your first jewel, a full armour set, the Polis, KOTH, the boss hub and your first pickaxe prestige. Caps with the Pathfinder title.
Coffers of the Ancients — Core
The trading & economy line, unlocked by Midas. Covers the Auction House, sell prices and the shop, and chipping in to the community Fund.
The Deepening — Core
Mining mastery, unlocked by the mining guide, and now the home of the old Bedrock & Brimstone chain as its late-game half. Grind ore, climb to player level 100, prestige your pickaxe to P10, and work the calcite and Ancient Debris veins. It also picks up the jewel quests: open a Mystery Jewel, socket a jewel, and fuse 3 of a kind into a fresh Mystery Jewel at the /salvage bench.
The Long Game — Core
Patience over haste, unlocked by Hypnos: AFK points, the AFK shop, tracker caches and idle upgrades.
The Hunt — Advanced
The Forgotten Polis hunting line. Earn Hunter Points, spend them on perks, work up through the shade tiers, and finish by waking the bronze — a step for unlocking the Talos construct at the boss hub.
Champions of the Old Games — Advanced
The Ancients' war-games, replayed: play and win Skywars rounds, capture KOTH, and seize an outpost. Its capstone, Warlord of the Old Games, asks for 3 KOTH captures.
Echoes of the Rift — Advanced
A Tartarus Rift line: enter the rift, survive rounds, bank Rift Marks, and crack rift caches. It runs 10 rounds → 500,000 marks → a cache, then 30 rounds → 2,000,000 marks → a greater cache. Cracking the greater cache caps the line with the Riftwalker title.
Wounds of Erebus — Advanced
New this map, and unlocked by Nyx at spawn. The overworld is bleeding, and this line is about the things pouring out of it. Ten steps, tracking:
- Erebus Tears attended, and tear shades killed
- Tearkeepers killed, and tears sealed
- Meteorite blocks mined, and blocks mined inside a Hot Zone
- Erebus Guards killed down in the Pit
Sealing 10 tears grants the Breachwarden title, and the line then ends on its uber arc: slay 1 uber boss, then put down 4.
Joining Nyx's line pays 500,000 Ancient Energy and an Elite Contraband up front. Talk to her again any time for her Breach Watch — when the next tear is due, where a live one has opened and how many you've sealed.
