Did we miss anything in this section? Is there something we didn't discover?
Let us know!
1 - Merab
Merab (#1) will trigger the side quest "Lowest of the Low." He'll tell you that monsters
have overrun the Beggar's Quarter, and he'll ask you to clear them out. Beyond Merab
(between #1a and #1b), you'll find the quarter filled with shadowstalkers.
Shadowstalkers start out in a gaseous form that makes them immune to ranged attacks,
and they'll only fully materialize once they've closed to melee range. That makes them sort of annoying if you're playing a hunter or a spellcaster, so just quaff potions as necessary until you've killed them all. When you return to Merab, you'll receive 8500 experience points and a random magical ring.
2 - Sihathor
Sihathor is a storyteller. He'll introduce you to Osiris, Isis, Set and Horus, and he'll explain how Osiris ended up commanding the land of the dead.
3 - Tathari
Tathari will trigger the side quest "The Missing Brother." She'll tell you about her
brother Unas, and how he might have gone on a "foolish, dangerous errand" to wake up
a guardian creature in a tomb in
Giza. You'll have to defeat the guardian when you get to it, but then when you return to Tathari you'll receive 10,000 experience points and a random magical ring.
"Perhaps... the same evil force that drives the monsters turned the guardian against us."
4 - Imhotep
When you give the
Scroll of Invocation to Imhotep, you'll complete the main quest
"The Blindness of the Gods," and you'll receive 8000 experience points plus a pair of
random magical rings. Imhotep will decipher the scroll, and he'll let you know that
you'll need to pick up the
Eye of Chaos and the
Hand of Balance in order
for him to perform the invocation ceremony. You can find the
Eye at the Temple
of Atum near the
Fayum Oasis, and you can find the
Hand in the
Great Sphinx in
Giza.
When you bring the items to Imhotep (now standing next to the gate at Exit B), you'll
gain 10,000 experience, 2 attribute points, and a relic shard. Imhotep will fail in
his attempt to perform the ceremony, but he'll suggest that whatever the Telkines are
searching for must be of importance, and that you should go to the
Tomb of Ramses in the
Valley of the Kings.
"Why this -- this cannot be! How could we fail? All that we've tried to accomplish has been in vain! It is clear to me that the gods cannot help us. We are now truly on our own."
5 - Zazamankh
Zazamankh will trigger the side quest "The High Priest's Request." He'll tell you that
with all of the problems caused by the Telkine, some "troublemakers" have demanded that
the priests in the city show their power. The problem is, the priests don't have any
power without a magical staff located in
Tomb of Khufu in
Giza. If you retrieve the
Staff of Khufu for Zazamankh, then you'll receive
9000 experience points and a random relic shard.
