 * 3) The place is somewhat of a maze so you might have to backtrack.  Run through the dungeon (look for down ramps) until you find a Slimy Key
 * 4) Once you have the key, you need to backtrack to a big open room and on the far side is another ramp down, here you should find sclavus, once you get to the sclavus section stick right and keep heading down, you will pass a surface portal. On the right hand side will be a door, use the Slimy Key on the door to unlock it.
 * 5) Once through the door, grab a Corrupted Mana Shard from the pedistal.
 * 6) Return the shard to Arturus of the Eldrytch Web to be initiated into the Eldrytch Web faction.
 * 7) Use the Initiate's Treasure Key to loot one of the four chests inside the Eldrytch Web Stronghold (Armor Quartermaster's Chest, Equipment Quartermaster's Chest, Weapon Quartermaster's Chest, Researcher's Chest).

Note:
 * The Corrupted Mana Shard will only last 1 hour before turning to dust so you must hand it in to Arturus of the Eldrytch Web within 1 hour of picking it up.
 * Once initiated, you can now use the portal to the Eldrytch Web Stronghold located next to Arturus.
