==Walkthrough==
Outside the Skyreach Catacombs, you will meet a man named Crusader Dalamar. He will tell you that the dead here no longer rest, and that when he entered the catacombs to consecrate them, he heard a voice he suspects to be from the necromancer Virmaril the Betrayer, and he fled. He will ask you to make your way into the caverns and make the dead there dead again while he looks for another way in that avoids the voices. 
Head inside and start exploring. You will hear the voice of Virmaril taunting you. The path ahead to the lower floors is locked though; you will have to face bosses in the north and south of this floor. In the northernmost room, you will find the fallen kings. You will initially only be facing The Sun King, but The Storm King, The Flame King, The Forest King, The Blood King, The Spirit King and The Shadow King will join in as the battle goes on. Each of these kings will summon two additional enemies to ais them in battle, so it is easy to get overwhelmed during this fight. A good strategy is to focus on one enemy at a time, rather than trying to take them all down at once. The Forest King is especially dangerous, as he uses ranged attacks and deals large amounts of damage. Once you have defeated the spirits of all the kings, High King Durac will attack you. He will raise the physical bodies of the other kings to assist him, but they will not summon any more allies during this second round so there is little chance they will overwhelm you. Take on the other kings first before you target Durac himself, so as to prevent getting swarmed. Once Durac is dead, one of the locks to the lower level is unlocked. 
When moving about this floor, make sure to avoid the eastern passageway, as it is home to a powerful boss called The Cursed Orator. Either way, make your way to the southernmost room to face off against a boss called the Gravelord, Virmaril's prized creation. The Gravelord cannot hurt you if you keep your distance, so if you have projectiles, use them. He will summon skeletons that will power him up, but so long as you stay at a range, this does not matter. Killing the Gravelord will unlock the second lock to the lower level. 
Once both the Gravelord and Durac are dead, proceed to the lower floor. There, head along the pathway and defeat the enemies along the way. Head through to the Cavern of the Lost Souls and fight your way through all the Nedic ghosts there. In the south of this room is a door to the Watery Grove; you'll be facing skeletons here again. The way to the Tomb of the Dead Watchers is pretty straightforward. In this tomb is your next boss battle, against Watcher Armok, Watcher Garalan and Watcher Shavmar. These watchers once kept Vilmaril at bay, but now they serve him. These foes are quite formidable and they all use projectiles, so take care. Each time one of them is slain, two risen soldiers will appear and attack you. The best strategy here is to focus on one, kill the risen sodiers thereafter, and then target another one of the watchers. Once they are defeated, a chest of loot will spawn in the middle of the room. 
Proceed onward to the Path of Dread. There will be some hordes of enemies here, but nothing you cannot handle at this point. At the end of this path, the way ahead is blocked by a Soul Ward put there by the ancient Nedes, but Virmaril is kind enough to provide the souls needed to break the ward. You will have to kill several waves of them though. Once you have defeated all the ghosts, you can head through the door ahead. Virmaril awaits down the path; make sure you are prepared for the fight. Virmaril will summon huge armies of ghosts to assist him during this fight; trying to kill them is pointless, as he summons them faster than you can kill them. Try to avoid getting swarmed by them and focus your attacks on Virmaril himself. Virmaril also has an attack that will trap you in place; this is a big problem as it allows the ghosts to gang up on you. Once the boss is dead, his ghosts will die with him. 
Once the big boss has been destroyed, take the shortcut ahead back to the start of the lower catacombs, then head out of the dungeon. Once outside, talk to Crusader Dalamar to finish the quest.
