About this quest

Starting out: Talk to the Watchtower Wizard in the Watchtower north of Yanille; you must climb the trellis on the north side of the tower.

There is no written introduction to this one yet. The walkthrough, requirements, items and rewards below are complete.

Walkthrough

01The stolen crystals

Long and full of separate errands. Doing the ogre tribes in one loop rather than three trips is most of the time saving available.

  1. 1

    Climb the trellis on the northern side of the Watchtower north-west of Yanille, then the ladder, and talk to the Watchtower wizard.

  2. 2

    Search the far north-west bush on the grounds for fingernails.

  3. 3

    Bank for the trip: armour, food, two ropes, dragon bones, a pickaxe, a gold bar, a tinderbox and a guam potion (unf).

    • Rope
    • Gold bar

02Three ogre tribes

  1. 1

    Ogres carrying maces are non-aggressive, which is most of the ones you meet here.

  2. 2

    Og is north-west out of Yanille's west gate. Toban stole his gold bar; Og gives you a key to Toban's chest.

  3. 3

    Grew is on an island south of Og. Use a rope on the branch of the long-branched tree on the west shore — the branch, not the trunk. The rope is consumed.

  4. 4

    Pick jangerberries while you are on the island. Grew wants one of Gorad's teeth, so leave an inventory space for it.

      Gorad is level 68 and drops the tooth on death. With a full inventory you have to kill him again.

    03The relic

    1. 1

      Use your second rope to get back to Grew's island and hand over the tooth for a relic piece and the yellow crystal.

    2. 2

      Return to Og with Toban's gold for another piece, and collect the third from Toban's island — reached around the southern edge of Gu'Tanoth rather than over the broken bridge.

    3. 3

      Pick up the death rune south of the hole surrounded by rocks on that route.

    04Gu'Tanoth and the Skavid caves

    1. 1

      With the full relic, take the path up into Gu'Tanoth and show it to the ogre guards on the north-west trail.

    2. 2

      The Skavid caves need the Skavid map and a light source. Buy a torch from Aleck's in Yanille if you have none.

    3. 3

      Find the scared Skavid first — cave 1, east of Gu'Tanoth — and promise not to hurt him, and he teaches you the words.

    4. 4

      Visit the other four caves and give each Skavid the correct response. Move on only once the message says they understood you.
