Required Equipment

 * Shovel or Light Shovel
 * Cough Syrup
 * Hydra Egg
 * Crowbar
 * Rope
 * Dwarven Rings, 1 for each team member for the last mission.
 * Some traveling money, as you have to travel quite alot.

Method
To begin the quest, you need to travel to Banuta, north-east of Port Hope. At Banuta, you need to go to the temple in the south-east part of the city (here) and go up one level through the stairs. Here you will find the NPC ape Hairycles. Talk to him and ask him for a mission. Watch out for Kongras, Sibangs and the occasional Merlkin when you start to get near Banuta. There are also Carniphilas in the nearby jungle.

Mission 1: Whisper Moss
Your first mission is to retrieve some Whisper Moss so that Hairycles can make a cure for his "young ape".

The Whisper Moss is being protected by the Dworcs under Trapwood. It can be found in the cave farthest south-east. If you fall into the trap here, you will be in the correct room. You can use a melee weapon to make pass throughs in the wooden fences. Simply look east and you will find it. Watch out for Tarantulas and Terror Birds and Spit Nettles on the surface, and plenty of Dworc Fleshhunters, Dworc Venomsnipers, and Dworc Voodoomasters inside the cave.



Bring the Whisper Moss back to Hairycles to complete the mission.

Mission 2: The Cure
Hairycles will tell you that he needs to find a cure for a plague that is affecting the apes, and he will send you to the local healer to get a bottle of Cough Syrup.


 * Talk to Brewster about the "cough syrup". He will tell you that the only place you could find some is by talking to Ustan above the tavern.
 * Ustan tells you that his last bottle was stolen during an ape raid, so he sends you to the druid guild in Carlin to get some.
 * Go to Carlin and talk to Padreia in the Druid Guild (here). She will sell you a bottle of Cough Syrup for 50 gp.

Once you have purchased the Cough Syrup in Carlin, bring it back to Hairycles to complete the mission.

Mission 3: Lizard Parchment
Next, Hairycles will tell you that he thinks the plague was really a lizard curse, and he will ask you to retrieve a scroll from the lizard settlement of Chor.

The mission is simple. Get into the village and head south-west to retrieve the scroll. Here you'll have to fight off all types of lizards to get into the village. The lizards are not difficult but here you'll find that there are TOO many of them so bring a good team, with a couple of blockers and mages with lots of GFB runes. Take down first the Lizard Snakecharmer because they can be a real pain with their summoned cobras.


 * Head to the house located here, south-west of the temple.
 * Fight off a few Lizard Snakecharmers, a lot of Lizard Sentinels and Lizard Templars that are waiting for you.

Notes:
 * Only Snakecharmers and Sentinels can see invisible. Templars can not, so maybe you want to have the spell or the ring at hand in case you get surrounded.

Mission 4: Parchment Decyphering
Hairycles will tell you that he cannot read the scroll, so he needs you to find a way to decypher it. Now you need to go into one of the tombs near Ankrahmun.

Take a Shovel to Ankrahmun, and enter the Shadow Tomb just east of the city (here). Go down the ramps as far as you can go (to the level with the Mystic Flame for teleporting. DO NOT GO THROUGH THE TELEPORT.) On this level, go around to the south, and then head east. Go straight east until you cannot go any further. There will be an odd-looking pillar between some Red Shrine Stones. Walk up to the pillar to decypher the scroll. You will see this: ''!-! -O- I_I (/( --I Morgathla''

In the tomb you will meet Skeletons, scarabs, Ghouls, Crypt Shamblers and 1 Fire Devil. You might also meet lured Stalkers, Ghosts, Vampires and Mummys.



Report to Hairycles to complete the mission.

Mission 5: Hydra Egg
Your next mission will be to retrieve a Hydra Egg. This can be done in three ways. First, you can find a hidden cave east of Tiquanda (here). In this cave is a Hydra protecting its nest. In the nest, you can find a Hydra Egg. Another way is to kill Hydras until you loot a Hydra Egg. The last way is just buy one from another player.

Once you have a Hydra Egg, take it back to Hairycles to complete the mission.

Mission 6: Witches' Cap Spot
Your next assignment is to get a sample of a Witches' Cap Spot so that Hairycles can make a "Charm of Life". The only place the mushroom can be found is in the Fibula Dungeon.


 * Go to Fibula by heading south of Thais, and taking the tunnel (here).
 * If you do not have Key 3940, then you can buy it from Dermot (for 2,000 gp) in town, or from Simon the Beggar (for 800 gp) south of town.
 * Once you have the dungeon key, "use" the well in town to enter the dungeon.
 * Follow the path around to the south and east, then north through the locked door.




 * After going through the locked door and going down a level, head straight south. There will be two ramps to go down into the next room where you will find plenty of Bonelords and Skeletons, and possibly some lured Demon Skeletons. Go down the entrance on the left.




 * Keep going south, and you will find the Witches' Cap Spot behind a door in the wall.



Bring the Witches' Cap Spot back to Hairycles to complete the mission. From now on you are "friend of the apes", you can trade with Hairycles (buy Bananas for 2 gp) and he will heal you if you are in low health.

Mission 7: Destroying Casks With Crowbar
This part starts underneath Hairycles's temple... You will find stairs



There will be all kinds of apes, then walk to the next stairs.



Things will be worse... there will be more apes, you will need a bunch of Avalanches to kill all of them and then, you must walk to the casks, I suggest going slowly...



There you will find seven casks, use the Crowbar on three of them.

Note: There are only seven casks, so only two people can complete this at a time. If your team has more than two people, you will need to leave the room and wait for the floor to reset (3-5 minutes?).

Mission 8: Looking for a hair of holy ape
This is one of the hardest parts of the quest. You have to walk to the The Blind Prophet (here). Ask him to transport you and you will be sent to the Forbidden Lands. There you will find Behemoths, Hydras, Massive Earth Elementals, Giant Spiders, Stone Golems, Spit Nettles, Carniphilas, Tarantulas and maybe some other jungle creatures. You may want to go all the way near the wall - if you do so, you might encounter less creatures!

In the north-western part of Lands (here) you will see a Giant Footprint - use it. You will get the Giant Ape's Hair.



After you finish this mission, you can ask Hairycles for a Snake Destroyer. Proceed to the final challenge!

Mission 9: The Deepest Catacombs
'''Important! Don't forget your Snake Destroyer! If you forget, you can't complete the quest and just waste a lot of time and runes on getting to the final room.'''

• This part starts down Hairycles. You will find stairs:



• There will be all kinds of apes, then walk to the next stairs:



• There you will find a teleport. You must go through that spot.



• Now you will need to destroy with your melee weapon, 4 amphoras (a bow, a wand or a rod will not work):



• You will Start on the 0 marked in blue. You should follow the Yellow line, and, at the Blue balls a few players shold stay there to block the monsters spawn (Efreets, Green Djinns, Bonelords, Elder Bonelords and Slimes).

• At the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 some players should be there waiting for break the amphoras, and at the number 5, some players should stay there to test if the teleport is working after break the amphoras.

• When all team get ready, the 4 amphoras should be broken at the same time, and all the team have like 5 minutes to run to the teleport. Just follow the Green line until reach the teleport at number 5 and keep calling all players that are blocking the monsters spawn to avoid people getting lost here.

• Just enter at the teleport in the final of the room marked with the number 5 and don't move.



• Here is the last room, and you will face lots of Hydras, Serpent Spawns, Medusas, Giant Spiders and Bone Beasts.

• You start at the number 0, and should follow the Yellow line heading the number 1.

• In each Lever that is marked with a Yellow ball, a few players should be there for blocking respawn and waiting for turn the Lever. (Don't turn now).

• At number 2, someone should stay there for pushing the last lever, that opens the wall of the quest room.

• Continue following the Yellow line to reach the numbers 3, 4, 5 and 6, always with more than one player blocking the respawn in each number, and one to push each Lever.

• When all players get their position, the Main Team should follow the Green line from number 6 to number 7. The number 7 is the last Lever. Just say to all players at numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 turn the levers at the same time, and the player in the Lever number 2 could turn his lever after this.

• The player at the Lever number 2 should enter in the opened wall and wait there. The Main Team should follow the Green line from number 7 to numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 1 and 2 to rescue all players that was blocking the respawn.

• Now all players should enter at the room marked with number 2, and use their Snake Destroyers at the Snake Head Statue. Who is going to get the Ramsay the Reckless's Helmet for the Knight Addon should walk to the North of the room, and get it behind the door. And who want, could go to the East of this room to look the level 999 door with the Serpent God behind it.

• The Snake Head Statue repairs itself automatically after 40 seconds.
