Part One: Defeating the Khazard Defender

 

 

 

1) Talk to Head Medic:

 

 

 

Head Medic: Oh IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m so glad you came back.

 

You: Really? I had heard you have discovered something and might need a bit more help.

 

HM: Yes we have. Well you see, during the fight a few gnome mages sneaked into the small hole.

 

You: And what did they find?

 

HM: They didnÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t find anything actually. They went down there to establish a portal so that we could have a way in there without using the cave entrance.

 

You: Okay, well that sounds like a good idea.

 

HM: ThereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s a problem. One of the KhazardÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s top defenders discovered it and we had to retreat. He sent off a messenger, but we caught in en route. We need you to defeat him before he can send word to his superiors. When you do, bring us something back so we can send the mages to reopen the portal.

 

HM: So can you take care of it?

 

You: Yes, yes. Nothing too out of the ordinary for me.

 

 

 

2) From the Eastern Side of the Island, you must now walk south to a small peninsula on the southern part of the island. There is a small shack on the peninsula with the Khazard Defender standing in front of it, and two level 24 Khazard Guards flanking him.

 

 

 

3) Talk to the Defender to ask him why heÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s standing there.

 

 

 

Khazard Defender: What do you want you little brat?

 

You: I was going to ask you why youÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re standing there.

 

KD: IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m here to stop those pesky gnomes from using their little portal.

 

You: Then IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m here to get rid of you so they can use their portal.

 

KD: Arrrgghh!

 

 

 

4) You must now kill the Khazard Defender. He uses both mage and ranged attacks and can hot up to 15 with each.

 

His mage attack is like a black ball rolling at you. It can lower your defense and lower you mage level.

 

His ranged attacks are bars that shoot from [bleep]ed helmet. They can poison you and the poison hits you for 5 at normal poison rate.

 

His two Guards also attack you and just use melee. They can hit for 4. They arenÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t much of a threat, but must be killed too.

 

 

 

5) Once you kill him, his barbed helmet will appear in your inventory. You will then have a small conversation to yourself

 

 

 

You: I should take this back to the Head Medic so he can send the mages to reopen the portal.

 

 

 

6) Return to the Head Medic and use the Barbed Helmet on him so he can see you have killed Denfender

 

 

 

HM: Oh that looks like the helmet the Defender wore.

 

You: ErrÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ thatÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s because it is.

 

HM: Good. Now we can have the portal opened again.

 

 

 

7) A cutscene will now play showing three level 1 Gnome Mages casting a yellow, star-shaped spell on the portal. You will see the portal appear and start glowing. Afterwards, the Head Medic will send you on the second part of the quest.

 

 

 

8) Talk to the Head Medic again.

 

 

 

You: Okay, the portal is open again. Sounds like a job well done.

 

HM: Actually, thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s another problem.

 

You: And what is that?

 

HM: Well you see the portal leads to a tunnel. And the tunnel leads to an ancient library.

 

You: OkayÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ

 

HM: The books in there are written in an ancient language, and the only people who can read and translate it are the Elder Gnomes.

 

HM: The Elder Gnomes as their names suggest are rather old and not quite as agile as they use to be.

 

You: What does that mean?

 

HM: The tunnel is old and ridden with many obstacles. We need them to be cleared so the Elder Gnomes can get there.

 

You: Okay, I think I understand.

 

HM: Some of our younger scouts were able to make it through the tunnel and have reported that itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s one way and thereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s no dangerous monsters or any of the like. It just needs to be cleared.

 

HM: And if you could, they made some rudimentary pillars to hold it up. You might want to sturdy them up a bit if you want to get further.

 

You: Okay, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll get to work on it now I guess.

 

 

 

Part Two: Clearing the Tunnel

 

 

 

9) Now return to HazelmereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Island using the docks east of the Aid Station. Head to Yanille bank and withdraw your pickaxe, spade, warhammer, saw, hammer, nails, and 15 regular logs.

 

 

 

10) Go back to the island via the docks on HazelmereÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s Island. Walk along the southern shore until you come to the peninsula again. The three mages are hanging by the door and allow you to open it. Once you open it, step into the portal.

 

 

 

11) The tunnel is separate into 6 different lengths. Each of these are separated by the pillars that you must sturdy up before entering the next part of the tunnel.

 

 

 

12) You will step into the first room. It will be filled with large mounds of dirt, big boulders, and old, rotted wooden defenses. Each one must be removed in their own way, and each can be failed as well.

 

 

 

Dirt Mound: Simply use your spade on these. You can fail by getting dirt in your eyes which will hit you for 2 hp.

 

Big Boulder: This is to use your Rune Pickaxe on. You can mis-hit it and be hit for 2 and lose a mining level. When you break it, use your spade on it to clean the rubble. This can be failed and will get gravel in your eyes and will be hit for 3

 

Rotted Defenses: Use your steel warhammer to smash them to bits. This cannot be failed, but while doing it, wood splinters can hit your face and hit you for 5.

 

 

 

13) You must clear the room of all obstacles. After you are done, go to the pillar and click the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅSturdyÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ
