[edit] Walkthrough
Speak with Palawa Joko outside the Remains of Sahlahja. Take the left path towards the wurm spoor and fight your way towards General Huduh. As this area is rocky, you can't fight him from within your wurms. Concentrate your fire on General Huduh and try not to kill his minions. He will turn non-hostile and follow you - and so will all his remaining minions. Additionally some allied minions of Palawa Joko will spawn. With the extra-power of up to 11 hands, the rest of the quest is pretty easy. Walk towards the Bone Palace (it is possible to approach this area and complete the mission within wurms making the finale of this mission all the easier) and kill the guarding groups of Margonite and Restless Dead. Before you can get to Zadukar the Blessed, you have to get past three Torment Claws. To complete the quest, you have to defeat Zadukar's entire group. After a cut-scene you enter the Bone Palace.

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- "I too made an unfortunate deal with Palawa Joko. I was a prince and, until my father died, had lived a life full of honor and the trappings of royalty, but free of duty. Running the kingdom was more than I could handle. With my people soon to feel the brunt of Palawa's attack, I made a deal with him: I would serve him if he would spare my people. Unfortunately, it cost me my everlasting soul, for he killed my people and made me his undying minion. Now Palawa is back, and I must serve him as he tries to regain power. Thus, it is my duty to tell you that King Palawa Joko, Joko the Wise, Joko the Mighty, Joko the Magnificient awaits you in Joko's Domain."
- Accept: "We shouldn't keep the king waiting."
- Decline: "He's not my king. Let him wait."
- When asked about quest: "Palawa Joko is waiting right outside in Joko's Domain."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
Upon meeting Palawa Joko
- Palawa Joko: "Ah, my ever loyal minion. Those Ossas never give me a moment of peace."
- Minion of Joko: "Yes, master. Varesh has placed the balance of her forces square atop your throne."
- Palawa Joko: "We shall regain my throne! And all thanks to these well-to do hero types. They have no choice but to destroy her vanguard and retake my palace for me."
- Palawa Joko: "Well, hello there well-to-do hero types."
Palawa Joko
- "A deal is a deal, indeed. You need to get to that blasted Mouth of Torment before the world falls into night, and I need to regain my Bone Palace from that no-good descendant of an Ossa. Being sundered and bound beneath a monument has left my army feral and wandering, while the army Varesh left to protect her flank is composed of powerful demons you could never hope to defeat on your own. Of course, as the all-powerful and righteous heroes, you will try. But let me save you some time. Help me regain my most loyal general and he will help you break through the forces Varesh has left in your way. I will get my wonderful palace back and you will be one step closer to saving the world... a noble goal for such good and righteous heroes. And do not entertain thoughts of killing me. That would be unwise and impossible. You need me as much as I need you, hero."
General Huduh
- "Hahaha...Palawa Joko is back indeed! Come. Fight with Huduh. It will be a glorious battle!"
Cinematic
- Palawa Joko: "You miserable hunks of desiccated flesh! I leave you alone for a few hundred years and you let everything go to hell! Now that I'm back, things are going to be different."
- Koss: "Eh? Oh, Tahlkora. I thought you were someone else."
- Tahlkora: "I know. You expected Melonni."
- Koss: "Yes. You know, Tahlkora, you've really grown in the time I've known you."
- Tahlkora: "But you always thought of us as mentor and student. I know. I've always known."
- Koss: "I don't want to hurt your feelings."
- Tahlkora: "As you say, I've grown. And I would be blind not to see that you and Melonni belong together."
- Koss: "Is it that obvious?"
- Tahlkora: "Yes, and the sooner the both of you realize it, the easier it will be for the rest of us."
- Tahlkora: "He's all yours."
- Koss: "How much of that did you hear?"
- Melonni: "Most of it. I have very good ears."
- Koss: "I want you to know that I do care about people, and not just princes."
- Melonni: "Princes are people too. I have to remember that, and remember that I'm not always right."
- Melonni: "We do belong together, you know."
- Koss: "You think it's that obvious?"
- Melonni: "Only to the entire rest of the world, Koss."
- Palawa Joko: "No, No, No! Mummified flesh on the left! Dried bones on the right! No, your other right! You worthless bits of animated anatomy!"
[edit] Reward dialogue
Priest Kehmtut
- "So the great Palawa Joko returns. I can't say everyone will be happy to see him back. But matters had gotten out of hand with Varesh's troops garrisoned here. Those demons enjoyed devouring souls, and with an undead army about...well, you get the idea. Here, this is from our coffers. We hope you will accept it."
[edit] Notes
- Shekoss the Stony and his group will not spawn during this quest.
