The Ape City Quest/Spoiler

Required Equipment

 * Shovel
 * Cough Syrup
 * Hydra Egg
 * Crowbar
 * Rope

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. Here you will find the NPC ape Hairycles. Talk to him and ask him for a mission. Watch out for Kongra, Sibang and the occasional Merlkin when you start to get near Banuta. There are also Carniphila 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. Simply look east and you will find it. Watch out for Tarantulas and Terror Birds on the surface, and plenty of Dworc Fleshhunters, Dworc Venomsnipers, and Dworc Voodoomasters in 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.
 * The Ustan tells you that his last bottle was stolen in 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.

To reach Chor, you need to go to the far south-east corner of the jungle. It is easiest to come from the mountain pass to Ankrahmun, instead of traversing the entire jungle from Port Hope. You will need to cross a bridge (really just a fallen tree here), and walk through a pass in the mountain (here). There is only one way through this mountain pass.

The lizard scroll is in a small hut in the far south-west part of the settlement (here).

Once you have the Old Parchment, take it back to Hairycles to complete the mission.

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 hidden 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 farther. There will be an odd-looking pillar between some Red Shrine stones. Walk up to the pillar to decypher the scroll.

In the tomb you will meet Skeletons, scarabs, ghouls, Crypt Shambler and 1 Fire Devil. You might also meet lured stalkers, ghost and mummy.



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 two 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. Otherwise, you can kill Hydras until you loot a Hydra Egg.

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

Mission 6: Witches Mushroom
Your next assignment is to get a sample of a Witches Mushroom 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 Beholders and Skeletons, and possibly some lured Demon Skeletons. Go down the entrance on the left.




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



Bring the Witches Mushroom back to Hairycles to complete the mission.

Mission 7: Destroying Casks With Red Fluid
This part starts down Hairycles... 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 gfbs to kill all of them and then, you must walk to the casks, i suggest going slowly...



There you will find the casks, use the Crowbar on 3 of them.

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 teleport you and you will be sent to the Forbidden Lands... There you will find Behemoths and Giant Spider (mainly), walk slow cuz there are like 2 Behemoths and 2-3 Giant Spider at the same time... At the north-west (here)... you will see a "Giant Footprint" Ctrl + Click on it and you will get the Hair. Good Luck on this part. (I will add the pictures later)
