- Heroic difficulty — Fabled Sanctum of the Scaleborn and Fabled Halls of Fate.
Steps
1. Kill the minotaur in Steamfont
Head back to Steamfont where you found the original portal and kill the minotaur. He drops a body manacle for each group member.

Zone: Steamfont
2. Find manacle shards across Norrath

Eshkan has reforged the pieces, but they are a manacle no longer. Examine the disused manacles and speak with the now-cryptic Eidolon.
Zone: Inventory
5. Kill 15 droag in Fabled Sanctum of the Scaleborn
Enter The Fabled Sanctum of the Scaleborn and kill 15 ^^^ droag named, stealing their power for your bracers.
- Use the bracer after this step and speak with the Eidolon of Heroism.
Zone: The Fabled Sanctum of the Scaleborn
6. Kill Sothis in Fabled Halls of Fate
The Eidolon's last words: "We are all fated to die. Some can be reborn. So this goes." Head to The Fabled Halls of Fate and kill Sothis.
- Use the disused manacles and speak with the Eidolon of Heroism to receive The Hero Bracers.
Zone: The Fabled Halls of Fate
Tips

Quest Text
The Eidolon of Heroism now asks that I return where I began, and claim my birthright. I do not know what he refers to... the beginning? In Steamfont?
Completion
And so, another chapter of mine has closed. The manacles' 'death' mirrored my own, and with my efforts were reborn into the Hero Bracers! I have earned them with my blood and sweat, and are now a physical representation of my heroic efforts across Norrath.
Stages
- Stage 1
I must return to the beginning. Does the Eidolon mean Steamfont?
Return to the beginning
Zone: Exp03 Rgn Steamfont
I travelled back to that initial portal I found... the Minotaur Hero I first encountered came charging out of it. Upon his defeat, the Minotaur Hero did something devastating to the manacles. They exploded and scattered pieces throughout Norrath.
- Stage 2(8 objectives)
That explosion was enormous - they must have felt it all the way in Halas. The death of the Minotaur Hero interacted strangely with the manacles, pieces of it were sent all across Norrath! I must gather them up if I'm to have any hope of speaking with the Eidolon of Heroism again.
