The 14 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Incognita

   Dialogue[5,2] · Incognita

   The quest starts in Srambad, with Incognita. The necromancer mentioned by Toxine and Venimus could be Egh, the creator of the chattering skulls: go and meet him.

2. 2Reach Egh the Necromancer

   Movement[4,8] · Egh the Necromancer

   In the Catacumbras, go down through the half-open sewer hatch. Click on the crate of bombs in the right corner: a secret passage opens in the wall. Take it before it closes, then tell Egh that you know Toxine came to see him.

   The secret passage closes quickly: go in right after clicking on the crate.

3. 3Listen to Egh the Necromancer

   Dialogue[4,8] · Egh the Necromancer

   Hesitant at first, Egh finally confesses: Toxine is looking for a way to control Raval's Deathless, and he couldn't answer her. Raval revived the knights of the Order of the Valiant Heart during the Crimson Dawn, but according to Egh, the Deathless, which burn with a white fire, were created by a certain Agony, who has since disappeared.

4. 4Report back to Jalcas

   Dialogue[8,-67] · Jalcas

   Go back to the Ouginak temple. According to Jalcas, you have to act before Toxine's army grows, but it is impossible to attack her in Srambad without the consent of the god Sram. One lead remains: the magypus eggs that Venimus and Toxine talked about.

   Dialogue

   1. “Talk about what you discovered during your stay in Srambad”

   

5. 5Question Mori Arty

   Dialogue[9,-4] · Mori Arty

   Enter the house with the blue and white striped roof. Mori Arty let you hunt down the Sram he had sold the two magypus to: it was his plan to sell magypus eggs he had kept on hand to the Toxines at a high price. As for the reason behind so much covetousness, he sends you to see one of his clients.

   Dialogue

   1. “Say you have learned that he sold magypus eggs to the Toxine gang”

   

6. 6Defeat the Weremoggies

   Combat[10,0] · Extra Cute Bow Meow

   At the meeting place, the Extra Cute Bow Meow may not be so cute: a fight starts, and it is solo. Stay at a distance and follow the advice in the fights section.

   Never stay in melee range of the Hate-Filled Weremoggy: it kills in one hit in melee.

   • Hate-Filled Weremoggyfight · levels 40 to 200 · 640 to 6,600 HP · 12 AP · 5 MP

   

7. 7Read the Scribbled Scroll

   Double-click the scroll obtained after the fight. It is a contract on your head: the Weremoggies were paid to eliminate you, and Mori Arty sent you there knowingly. The scroll sets a meeting at the lighthouse once the contract is carried out.

8. 8Disguise yourself as a Weremoggy

   Movement[-22,-24] · Kyper the Collector

   To get to the lighthouse without being recognized, ask Kyper the Collector for an illusion: he turns you into a Weremoggy for free.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask for a Weremoggy illusion”

   Entering combat makes you lose the disguise. You then have to buy the Annoyed Catichan Eidolonic Veil from Kyper the Collector, for 2 Orichor.

9. 9Trick Ashante

   [13,-2] · Ashante

   Disguised, enter the Madrestam lighthouse. Ashante takes you for the Weremoggy she hired: make her believe you are dead. She has a meeting with Ush and gives you a message for Toxine.

   • Message for Toxinereceived

   

10. 10Read the message intended for Toxine

    Double-click the Message for Toxine: it is written in invisible ink. You need to find someone able to decipher it.

11. 11Show the message to Prent

    Items[7,-19] · Prent

    In the Astrub library, Prent recognizes the mystifying ink: it has to be revealed carefully, or the message will be destroyed. To neutralize the ink, he needs five-leaf clovers.

    Dialogue

    1. “Show the letter intended for Toxine and ask whether he can make the text of the message appear”

    Prent only helps you if you have completed Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover.

    

12. 12Give 50 5-leaf Clover

    Items[7,-19] · Prent

    Talk to Prent again with the clovers. He makes a potion from them and applies it with a brush: the message appears, but it is coded.

    • 50 × 5-leaf Cloverto hand over

13. 13Have the message decoded

    Dialogue[3,-17] · Kerub Crepin

    Kerub Crepin deciphers the message: it talks about the magypus's power to absorb magic, and above all about an attack on the temple masters by undead armed with poisoned daggers, orchestrated by Toxine.

    Dialogue

    1. “Show the message intended for Toxine, briefly summarizing the context”

    

14. 14Warn Jalcas

    Dialogue[8,-67] · Jalcas

    Go back to the Ouginak temple to warn Jalcas of the imminent attack. The quest ends; continue the conversation to get the next one.

    Dialogue

    1. “Warn him of the imminent attack by Toxine's assassins”
