Members Only: Yes

Difficulty Level: Hard

Overview: Someone has stolen the Power Crystals from the top of the Yanille Watchtower. These Crystals prevent the Ogres from over-running the Town. The Watchtower Wizards need your help in finding out who did it, and in getting the Crystals returned.

Requirements: Level 14 Herblore, Level 14 Magic, Level 15 Thieving, Level 25 Agility, Level 40 Mining, Must defeat Level 68 Monsters

Items Needed: 1 Gold Bar, 2 Ropes, Dragon Bones (Baby Dragon won't work), 1 Death Rune, 20 Gold Pieces, Food, Weapons & Armor, Lit Candle, Water-Filled Vial, Guam Leaf, Bat Bones, Jangerberries, Pestle & Mortar, Pickaxe and 2 Nightshades (found during the Quest)

Start Point: Go to the Yanille Watchtower which is outside of the City Walls. The Guards won't let you up the Ladder, so you'll have to climb up the Rocks jutting out of a Wall on the Tower. Get up to the top Floor and talk to one of the Wizards. He'll tell you about their problem and ask you to look for Clues outside.
  1. Climb back down and search the Bushes outside. You'll find stuff like Old Robes, a Dagger, an Eye Patch, and Fingernails. The Fingernails are what matters. Take those back up to the Wizard and have him look at them. He'll tell you that they belong to a Skavid, a Creature that lives in the Ogre Caves. He also says you'll need a Map to get through the Caves, and the Ogres probably have one. You'll have to befriend the Ogres and gain access into their City, Gu'Tanoth. You can do that by talking to the Leaders of the Ogre Settlements outside the City.

  2. Head through the western Gates of the City, continue west until you see an Island with Ogres. Look around and there should be a Tree with a long Branch. Use the Rope on the Branch and swing across. Speak to Grew. He tells you to get a Tooth from another Ogre named Gorad, in the southeast Settlement. Get a Jangerberry before you leave the Island.

  3. Head north now to another Ogre Colony and speak to Og. He tells you to take some Gold from the southeast Settlement. Go southeast until you come upon an Island. Unfortunately, the Bridge is out, but there is a Ladder that comes up on the Island. Go south, then west following the Fence until you come upon a Cave Entrance. It should lead to the Island. Talk to Toban. He says he wants a Dragon Bone, so give it to him and he'll give you a Piece of a Relic. Then, kill Gorad and his Tooth will appear in your Inventory. Finally, look for a Chest, open it, and take Toban's Stolen Gold. Go back down the Ladder, give the Tooth to Grew and the Gold to Og. Grew will give you a Second Piece of a Relic and a Crystal. Og gives you the Third Piece of the Relic. Give all three Pieces to the Wizard and he will put them together. It turns out to be a Statue of an Ogre Warrior and can be used as a Symbol of Friendship!

  4. Go south until you reach a Path going up a Mountain eventually you get to a Fork in the Road. Both ways go to a Gate guarded by... well, Guards. At one Gate the Guards want a Gold Bar; at the other they want the Statue. Satisfy their demands and you can get into the Ogre City, Gu'Tanoth.

    (Note: The Gold Bar Path only leads to a Cave Entrance, while the Statue Entrance leads to the City itself.)

    After going through the Gate, you have two Options: Go down into the City, or keep going straight on a high Path. For now, go down to the City and steal a Rock Cake from one of the Counters. Don't eat it though. After getting the Cake, take the high Path. Eventually you'll get to a couple of Guards. Give them the Rock Cake and they'll let you pass. Keep going until you encounter another two Guards. They want twenty Gold Pieces. Give it to them, then jump from one end of the Bridge to the other. Go all the way as far as you can, talk to the City Guard there. He gives you a Riddle. The answer is “Death Rune”. All you have to do is give him a Death Rune and he will give you the Map to the Caves.

  5. You'll need a Lit Candle to go through the Dark Caves, so get one from the Watchtower. Go up the Path that leads to the Guards that accepted the Gold Bar from you. Next to the Guards is a Cave Entrance. Go in and talk to one of the Scared Skavids. It'll start you on learning the Skavid Speech. Next, you'll have to go through each Cave Entrance outside the City and say the proper word to the Skavids in them. In one of the Caves there is a Nightshade Plant. Take it but don't eat it. There are four Caves in all. Next, go through the “Gold Bar” Gate and through the Cave Entrance there. Speak to a Mad Skavid and select the proper response. He'll give you a Second Crystal.

  6. Now you'll need to head into the Cave in the Ogre City. First use the Nightshade with the Enclave Guard; they can't stand the stuff. Keep talking to him until you can go into the cave. Once in the cave be careful as there are many deadly monsters in there. Ogre Chieftains, Shamans, and Blue Dragons, oh my! Don't talk to the Ogre Shamans, they'll hit you hard with some kind of Spell. Go back to the Wizard in the Tower. He'll say that you need to make a Potion out of a Guam Leaf, Jangerberries, and Ground Bat Bones.

    NOTE: ***YOU MUST MIX THE POTION IN THAT ORDER OTHERWISE IT WILL EXPLODE***

  7. After you make the Potion, have the Wizard enchant it. Now it is ready for use. Before going back to the Shaman Cave, grab a Pickaxe.

  8. Get another Nightshade from the Mad Skavid Cave, then go use it on an Enclave Guard and enter the Shaman Cave once again. Use the Potion on each Shaman. They will disappear in a Cloud of Smoke. The last one will drop a Third Crystal. Mine the last Crystal out of the Rock of Dalgroth, located in the middle of the Cave. Head back to the Wizard to complete the Quest.
