[edit] Objectives

  • Report to Officer Lohru in the Remains of Sahlahja.

[edit] Walkthrough

  • For the first one, you need to travel to the Bone Palace and talk to Palawa Joko.
  • Next, you will need to travel back to the Remains of Sahlahja and talk to Officer Lohru (guy who you got the quest from). He will also give you a Rune of DOOM.
  • Then you must travel outside to The Sulfurous Wastes and talk to Officer Lohru out there. Before you leave, I would suggest getting a lockpick or key, because in the temple there is one Ancient Elonian Chest and one Treasure Chest (not needing a key). He will give you four Minions of Joko to fight for you. They will not really help that much, just do a little damage and take some damage for you.
  • Next you must travel from there to the Great Margonite Temple (structure at the bottom left of the map) using the wurms. You will have to defeat all of the enemies in the temple, then destroy it. There will be a ton of Graven Monoliths, but with your wurms, it should be no problem. There will also be Abaddon Shrines lining the outside of the temple. You will need to use each shrine, with the Rune of DOOM that you got earlier in your inventory. When you use each shrine, a few Graven Monoliths and sometimes some Margonites will come out. Kill them. The enemy spawns will get harder each time, with the first ones having about 4 Graven Monoliths, and the last one having a few Monoliths, a few Margonites, and three bosses.
  • After you defeat all of the spawns, your quest log will be updated, telling you to travel back to the Bone Palace and see Palawa Joko for your reward.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Officer Lohru

"Master needs to know about the Great Margonite Temple in the Sulfurous Wastes. Since you are the only one who has seen it, you must relay all that you saw. Perhaps then he will send me additional forces so that we can deal with the threat before it grows stronger."
Accept: "You can count on me."
Decline: "Maybe some other time...."
When asked about quest: "The temple must be destroyed! Hurry up and get it over with!"

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Palawa Joko

"I'll bet the Margonites are using the temple to focus Abaddon's power to activate more graven monoliths. Officer Lohru can request all the troops she wants, but all my forces are occupied elsewhere. You must go back to this temple to destroy those shrines and eliminate the Margonites. That is the only way we can keep them from overrunning us. Go back to the Remains of Sahlahja and tell Officer Lohru that I will send her whatever assistance I can, but you will have to be the main component of this assault."

Officer Lohru

"Master has sent a small contingent, but it seems that they have been commanded to follow only you. He has also sent a strange rune that will destroy the shrines to Abaddon. All you must do is place it upon them. When you are ready, meet me in the Sulfurous Wastes and I will release the slaves to you."

Officer Lohru

"Are you ready to destroy the Margonite temple, <playername>? Master has sent these troops to help you. They have no will of their own and will follow you wherever you go. Take them with you to the temple. The Margonites will not release control of the temple easily."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Palawa Joko

"Excellent, I can feel Abaddon's grip weakening already. With the temple destroyed, monolith activity should subside. I will send a small group to guard the area. You've done well, <playername>. I may have been the only one who could have done it better."

[edit] Notes

  • This quest can be used in conjunction with Requiem for a Brain to farm Sunspear Promotion Points and Lightbringer Promotion Points effectively. See Guide to farming Lightbringer promotion points for details.
  • It is a good idea not to accept the reward for this quest, as it provides an excellent farm, as well as plenty of Graven Monoliths, which may drop an Elemental Sword while the quest is active.
  • This quest is named after the 1990 thriller of the same name.
Bug Bug.
The shrines may not activate (This is only a rare occurance)
