The 19 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Otomai

   Dialogue[-55,15] · Otomai

   The quest starts at the top of the Hakam tree. Otomai tells you that the soul capture spell won't be enough for Ombre's soul: you need to find a more powerful spell.

   

2. 2Talk to Surivitna

   Dialogue[20,-27] · Surivitna

   In Pandala, go into the building and ask Surivitna where to find Tonam Etamwa's writings. He sends you to the library.

   

3. 3Read the scroll

   [21,-27] · Dick Kerboo Brandtawa

   In the Pandala library, talk to Dick Kerboo Brandtawa: he lets you read a scroll describing a spell more powerful than the current soul capture.

4. 4Go back to Surivitna

   Dialogue[20,-27] · Surivitna

   Go back to the map on the left. Surivitna tells you about the receptacle, a statue linked to the six Dofus: with yours, you could make contact with ancient spirits, but first you must breathe an incense he will make if you bring him the ingredients.

5. 5Find the swamp hermit

   Movement[-8,5] · Bivoak

   In the Bottomless Swamps, ask Bivoak whether he is the hermit. He isn't, but he will take you to the hermit if you find his boomerang.

   

6. 6Defeat the Grumpy Crocodyl

   Combat[-10,3] · Grumpy Crocodyl

   Talk to the Grumpy Crocodyl, who has the boomerang, and attack him. The fight can be done in a group.

    Dialogue[-9,8] · Master Yado

    • [-10,10] click the tree trunk; a Hostile Koalak attacks you
    • [-6,13] click the tree trunk; a Belligerent Warko attacks you
