===Strategy Tips=== | |||
Try to remember roughly where Lachdanan is when you find him on 14. He can often be quite tricky to find again once you've got the elixir, since he has a low light radius and can spawn anywhere on level 14, and you tend to forget his location during your time clearing out the rest of 14, and then hunting for his elixir on 15. | |||
Though the Veil of Steel is a very nice helm, most players curse at this quest, since getting it means you did not get the super-profitable [[Warlord of Blood]] quest. It's also annoying to have to return to level 14, once you've moved on to 15 and are ready to head to Lazarus' hideout. | |||

The Veil of Steel is an excellent helm, especially for warriors, who get the most benefit from the vitality bonus. The loss of mana hurts them quite a bit though, since they have so little mana to begin with. Other characters may wear it as well, for the large strength and resistance bonus, though the lessened light radius is generally not desired by rogues and sorcerers, who like to see their enemies from as far away as possible. | The Veil of Steel is an excellent helm, especially for warriors, who get the most benefit from the vitality bonus.

==Background== | |||
Lachdanan is a knight who once served King Leoric. When he refused to follow the mad King's orders and slay the madman, he was damned to hell by the dying monarch. He needs a special golden elixir to ward off the curse, and hopes you can find it for him. It can be tricky to locate, but it's always somewhere on level 15, looking like a rejuvenation potion while on the ground. Return it to Lachdanan and after a brief speech of gratitude, he dissipates with the usual knight death animation and drops the unique [[D1 Unique Helms|Veil of Steel]], as well as a random weapon. | |||
