Quest information

Objectives

• Stop the rampaging undead in Joko's Domain. 6...0 groups of undead remain.
• See Palawa Joko for your reward.

Reward

• 2,500 Experience
• 200 Gold
• Ancient Artifact

Walkthrough

Follow the quest pointer to each of the six groups in turn. All 6 are found on rocky ground to the south east of the Bone Palace, which wurms cannot tunnel through. The party will however have to use wurms to leave the Bone Palace and reach the initial rocky area.

Bringing disruption skills or even better Frozen Soil can severely speed up this quest because of the number of resurrection skills the undead groups have.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Palawa Joko

"The fleshlings return, and not a moment too soon! My armies have disintegrated in my absence, and my former slaves have gone utterly insane. While I was sealed away all those years, those worthless shells shed their restraints and began to attack anything that moved! They are a menace to everyone. Do be a peach and take care of them for me. I'll make it worth your while."

 Accept: "I'll smite your rebellious undead."

 Decline: "The joke's on you, Joko. You can't keep an undead brother down."

 Ask: "The wild undead still walk. What are you waiting for?"

Reward dialogue

Palawa Joko

"Excellent. I shall make sure that the vanquished stay that way. The fact that those slaves broke their bonds is an outrage, but they won't be bothering anyone again."
