Location

Zao.

Reward

2x Tome of Knowledge, experience and gold coins

Requirements[]

Method[]

Mission 1 - The Wrath of the Kahn[]

Go to the central Orc camp in the center of Zao Steppes, and find the minotaur guard leader, Curos, in the north-east section of the camp. Curos will give you the mission to infiltrate the north-western Zao Orc Land and kill a rebel, the Renegade Orc.

Go to the north-western part of the Zao Steppe to reach the Zao Orc Land. Follow the path through the mountain to reach the last ramp (here) and go up. Along the east side of the mountain, look for a mountain to levitate up. It is concealed below the floor above, but if you hug the eastern side of the mountain you will see it. Levitate up and follow the mountain behind a bamboo fortress. Use your melee weapon on the damaged part of the wall until it breaks. Walk through and go downstairs. Go south-west and find the next ramp. Go down and then south-east to find a sealed door. Find the resistance leader, Renegade Orc, in the room and kill him.

While you are here, it is recommended to get the Tome of Knowledge on the floor below. Go north from the ramp to find the entrance to the underground. From the ramp below, go north and west at the first chance you get to reach the room with the tome (here). You should only fight Orc Leaders, Orc Berserkers and smaller Orcs at the ramp and a lone Orc Warlord where the chest is. Get the Tome of Knowledge and leave.

Now report back to Curos. You will receive no reward from Curos for this mission but you have proven yourself worthy to the orcs.

Mission 2 - The Maw of the Dragon[]

Note: to save time, it is recommended to do this alongside The New Frontier Quest, Mission 07: Messengers Of Peace.

Ask Curos for a further mission. He will instruct you to find the entrance to the underground lizard base and destroy a magical scrying device. Go north through the small slits in the mountain and find the only rope hole on the surface within the Dragonblaze Peaks (here). Rope up twice but beware that Dragon Lords may shoot you from other mountains. Go south-east and follow the mountain to the other side. Go down the ramp and north-west to find a Large Hole. Open the hole and drop down. From here on you will face strong High Class Lizards. Open the hole and go down to 1 Lizard Legionnaire. Kill it and go down again to 1-3 Lizard High Guards. Fight your way through the hallways to reach the stairs. Go down to 1 Lizard High Guard and enter the sealed door a little west of the stairs.

You are now in the basement of the tower. You must ascend to the top of the tower and break the Scrying Ball. The tower is very small and has little room to run. Each floor has the following monsters:

Floor Creatures
-3 1 Lizard Legionnaire
-2 2 Lizard High Guards
-1 1 Lizard Legionnaire, 1 Lizard High Guard
0 None
+1 1 Lizard High Guard
+2 1 Lizard Dragon Priest
+3 1 Lizard Legionnaire, 1 Lizard High Guard
+4 2 Lizard High Guards

When you reach the peak of the tower, use the Scrying Ball to destroy it. While here, you might want to open the chest next to it for a Tome of Knowledge.

If you wish, you may continue further in the underground dungeon for The New Frontier Quest mission, or you can leave the way you came. Either way, report to Curos to receive a Tome of Knowledge.

Curos Daily Tasks[]

After completing Curos' 2 missions, you may request additional tasks for him. These are simple tasks that can be completed once per 20 hours. The 20 hour counter starts counting when you turn in your task. He will give out a task at random, and will reward you with experience and gold.

Task 1 - Milk Delivery[]

Curos may ask for a Bucket of Milk. Buy a Bucket from any equipment shopkeeper and Milk from a specialist food store. Use the milk on the bucket to change the containers. Bring the bucket of milk back to Curos.

Reward: 800 experience, 650 gp and The Milkman achievement.

Task 2 - To Feed a Beast[]

Curos sends you to retrieve a Crocodile Steak from a Killer Caiman. Travel to Muggy Plains and kill a Killer Caiman. Then use an Obsidian Knife to obtain a Crocodile Steak. You might have to kill a few Killer Caimans before you get a steak. Report back to Curos with the Crocodile Steak to complete the task.

Reward: 1800 experience and 2250 gp.

Task 3 - Honour The Dead[]

Curos sends you to meditate on the Master Grave. You must stand on the grave on the northern side of the Dragonblaze Peaks (here) to complete the task.

Reward: 1100 experience and 1000 gp.

Task 4 - Foul Spirits[]

Curos sends you to appease a tree spirit in an infested grove to the east by using a Wooden Flute. You should stand on the sqm in front of the tree spirit (with blood spot - here) when using the flute. There's a chance of failing. If you fail, 2 Haunted Treelings or 2 Carniphilas will spawn. Kill the spawned creatures and wait for the tree spirit to calm down (it has to return to its initial form), then try playing the flute again. Sometimes you will be Cursed for 20 turns (300 total damage).

You will receive a red message once you have appeased the tree spirit. Report back to Curos to turn in the task.

Reward: 1400 experience and 750 gp.

Transcripts[]

Mission 1 - The Wrath of the Kahn[]

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: So you still think you can be of any use for us? Words are cheap and easy. Admittedly, you've passed our first test but even some resilient beast might have accomplished that. ...
Curos: Your actions will tell if you are only yelping for attention like a puppy or if you have the teeth of a wolf. ...
Curos: A first tiny step was taken. You survived the test and ensured the survival of your allies for a while. Now it is time to make the next step. ...
Curos: So listen human: Our rule over the orcs is not unchallenged. Of course now and then someone shows up who thinks he can defeat us. Usually these fights end fast and bloody in the ring. ...
Curos: Right now, some coward from our midst, who is too afraid to face us in single combat, has gathered a group of followers, hoping more will follow and change sides. ...
Curos: With your help, his defeat will not only be deadly but also humiliating and so discourage others to follow his example. ...
Curos: You will seek out this rebel commander in his hideout and kill him. We will show them that not even a Mooh'Tah master is needed to get rid of such wannabe leaders but that a mere human can handle them. ...
Curos: Find him in the mountain north-west of here and kill him. If you find any loot, you can keep it.

An Uneasy Alliance Quest

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: With the death of their leader, the rebels return to our camps one by one, deeply humiliated. It might be a wise decision to let a useful tool like you continue to exist.

Mission 2 - The Maw of the Dragon[]

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: We are aware that the lizards use magic to spy on us. In the Dragonblaze Mountains north of here, there is a tower which can only be entered through one of their underground fortresses. ...
Curos: In this tower, there must be some accessory used for magical scrying. Some pond, a crystal ball, or a mirror maybe - it has to be something shiny. ...
Curos: Usually we would send one of our youngsters on such a mission, but we are few and there is little new blood in our ranks. ...
Curos: We can't send a Mooh'Tah master on such a trivial assignment, neither can we use orcs for an infiltration mission. ...
Curos: This is your chance to show us your potential. Infiltrate this tower and destroy their scrying device. Once you have blinded our enemy, we might respect you somewhat more.

An Uneasy Alliance Quest

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: Finally, our enemy's vision is obscured. Now we can move in for some more daring raids until they replace their scrying device. You have proven yourself brave and useful so far. With that, you bought your allies some more days to live. ...
Curos: Here is a reward. It's a strange tome that we've found in the lizard ruins. Maybe it is of some value for you or your allies.

Task 1 - Milk Delivery[]

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: There is nothing of urgency to be done right now. But you may improve your status buy doing some minor tasks to show your courage and dedication. Are you ready for that?
Player: yes
Curos: Sometimes even a Mooh'Tah master gets sentimental. We rarely have the opportunity to drink some milk here in this strange land. ...
Curos: As you travel a lot, you might have the opportunity to get some. So bring me a bucket full of milk!

An Uneasy Alliance Quest

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: task
Curos: Do you have a bucket of milk for me?
Player: yes
Curos: Hmm, milk. The source of all life! Here is your reward.

Task 2 - To Feed a Beast[]

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: There is nothing of urgency to be done right now. But you may improve your status buy doing some minor tasks to show your courage and dedication. Are you ready for that?
Player: yes
Curos: We are breeding more and more wolves for our elite cavalry. Unfortunately the orcs have killed nearly all giant caimans that lived here with the lizards. ...
Curos: Those vile predators delivered the finest meat to raise the most fierce war wolves. These days such food has become rare. At least the leader of the wolf pack needs some caiman steaks now and then. ...
Curos: In the lizard territory you'll find some remaining caimans. Take an obsidian knife and slice a caiman steak from one of their corpses.

An Uneasy Alliance Quest

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: task
Curos: Did you bring me a caiman steak?
Player: yes
Curos: Excellent. This will serve well to satisfy the hunger of the pack leader at least for now. Here is your reward.

Task 3 - Honour The Dead[]

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: There is nothing of urgency to be done right now. But you may improve your status buy doing some minor tasks to show your courage and dedication. Are you ready for that?
Player: yes
Curos: Some time ago, we pursued the lizards through the mountains. Sadly, one of our youngest members led his troop into an ambush and was slain. ...
Curos: The survivors buried him, but only rarely someone of us manages to visit his grave to honour him. ...
Curos: You'll find his grave in the mountains north of here. His grave is in the western part of the mountains at the shore. Meditate on his grave about his failure to honour him.

An Uneasy Alliance Quest

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: task
Curos: Though I don't feel the contemplation of true meditation in you, I guess it's the best I can expect of a human. Here is a small reward for your efforts.

An Uneasy Alliance Quest

Task 4 - Foul Spirits[]

Player: hi
Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: mission
Curos: There is nothing of urgency to be done right now. But you may improve your status buy doing some minor tasks to show your courage and dedication. Are you ready for that?
Player: yes
Curos: While we have driven the lizards back behind the mountains, there are still things that simply can't be fought. When the lizards fled, they left some evil spirits behind. ...
Curos: These spirits haunt our orcs and drive them mad. It will be your task to appease one of these spirits. ...
Curos: You will need a flute. Travel to the haunted trees in the east, close to the shore as well as close to the mountain. ...
Curos: Play the flute until you appeased the spirit. You'll have to fight its minions whenever you fail. You can't appease the spirit while it has its visible form, so you might have to wait a bit between your tries.

An Uneasy Alliance Quest

Curos: Be greeted blank skin.
Player: task
Curos: So the spirits have found some peace for a while. And you have earned yourself a reward.
