Difficulty: Intermediate

Length: Long

Requirements: Must defeat a Level 112 warlord.

Items Needed: 6 logs.

Quest Points Reward: 2

Reward: A Gnome amulet of protection, about 11500 attack xp, and the ability to use the Spirit trees to travel.

Start Point: Center of maze.

To Start: Speak to Bolren.

1. Find Elkoy near the northwest corner of the maze. He invites you to try the maze. Once you conquer it, talk to King Bolren. He'll ask you to help their cause by retrieving 1 of 3 orbs of protection. Agree and you'll be led to battlefield.
   
   
2. Talk to Commander Montai to get the latest update on the battle. He'll ask for 6 loads of wood to repair defenses. Assuming you have your 6 logs with you, talk to him again. He thanks you, talk to him yet again, he'll ask you to find out coordinates from his trackers to fire the ballista at the Khazard stronghold.
   
   
3. Head north to find the second tracker. He's in an oblong building in the north east part of the Khazard camp. Learn the y-coordinate is 5.
   
   
4. Head west above the long building, the first gnome should be just along the wall of the building. Find that the height coordinate is 4.
   
   
5. Head south on the outskirts of the camp to find the 3rd tracker. He's a little "off" and gives you a strange riddle to decipher the x-coordinate. Luckily, I'm a master riddler and found out:
   
   "more than my head", "less than my fingers", "dance with me", "and khazards men are beat" is the correct riddle. Return to the gnome camp.
   NOTE: The X coordinate seems to be random for everyone...
   
   
6. Go directly to the ballista and use the coordinates you have learned.
   Height=4 X=? Y=5 (You have to figure out the X yourself, as it is random for everyone!)
   Assuming you entered these in right, go the main building and climb over the wall. It's the northwest building. Be prepared to get rid of two level 48 Khazard commanders, one downstairs and one upstairs.
   
   
7. Upon their defeat, open the chest on the 2nd floor to get the orb. Return to Elkoy at the maze entrance and he'll lead you back in.
   
   
8. Speak to Bolren again, he is briefly thankful about your return, but now you learn that his family has been killed and the other 2 orbs taken by Khazard's troops. Elkoy will guide you out of the maze again. Go north past the Khazard camp, then northwest and past level 64 Wolves to face the Khazard warlord who holds the orbs.
   
   
9. Run past his guards and attack him. You should have food, which you should run and eat if your health gets low. Ranging and maging works well on him, since he cannot come out of a certain zone. Weaken him until you run out or he's fairly weak, then charge him and kill him.
   
   
10. Once he is dead (Congratulations) you'll get the orbs. Return once again to Elkoy, then to Bolren. He'll tell you about the Spirit trees and give you your reward.
