How do you get the Eternal Ice spell now? (they changed it)

[Eleazaros]

It used to be in a coffin within the tomb. Now it's on a skeleton but the skelly is dead in lava surrounding the tomb. If you touch the lava, you die (you're in shroud & it expires your timer) but you CANNOT loot it without getting in the lava.

This is the most stupid change they've done. Fight your way in but you can't loot it? ...

Some days ago I did some testing how to get the spell now. Out of 10 tries, the necromancer who drops it spawned 8 times in the lava pool and died there.
But you can still pick up the loot in lava. It's a suicide. Just jump there and click the loot as fast as possible, it will be in your inventory. Then return there to pick up your tombstone.

Note: I did this with a high level char. A lower level char has maybe too low hp to survive this one second.
When you want get this spell just for completing the quest, you can do it later at any time.
If you want it to use the spell in early game, then I would respec my char to so much hp as possible, also look for armors / rings / food to increase your hp. After you picked up the spell you can respec back.

Had trouble clicking fast enough last time so I got annoyed and posted this.

With respect to the testing, I got about the same results; I logged back and forth checking it. It's doable with a lower level if you can get enough shroud resistance up, but barely (then log out & back in - otherwise you're dead.).

With Flame 3, big shroud protection, prayer of flame - you get about 11 minutes. it goes REALLY fast but I got it done, logging & back but it was annoying.

This Tomb has been fixed as of the latest Update (June). Enjoy...

I guess I got lucky yesterday. I didn't want or need the spell, but wanted to clear the quest from the list. Expected to find it in lava, but the, I call them wizard mummy guys, spawned on the path to the coffin. Killed him, and there it was.

But, IMO only, that spell is pretty low level. I decided to gather the mats to craft Fireball II until I got the Alchemy Station to craft both Eternal spells (fire and ice) for much more damage. Much more mana as well, but...
