General

There are three versions of this quest, based upon which direction you take at the 4-way intersection near the dungeon entrance:

It is easy to run solo to the end of the two higher level versions to pick up the log. The lowest level version, however, has dense spawns which makes it difficult to run without getting stuck.

The imprisoned Monougas drop 10 ribs that can be turned in to an Ivory Crafter for a Thrown Weapon with the Monouga Slayer property. You do not need to kill the monouga if you don't want the TW. It is easier to summon the imprisoned Monouga to the feeding pit and kill it there, than fighting in the Laboratory.

Walk Through

  1. Talk to Corporal Liao Chen in Cragstone at 25.6N 49.4E.
  2. Run to the Monouga Feeding Pits at 9.8S 81.0W, southwest of Fort Tethana.
  3. Enter the section of the dungeon appropriate to the level of the quest that you want to do.
  4. Optionally, ring the bell to summon an imprisoned Monouga from the Laboratory to the feeding pits. This portals him into the feeding pits for an hour, and means there will be one less creature to fight in the Laboratory.
  5. Hand a Monouga Laboratory Portal Attunement Gem to the Bell.
  6. Ring the bell again to summon a portal.
  7. Go down the hallways and enter the portal.
  8. Stick to the middle tunnel (all the side passages lead to dead end rooms with lots of spawn).
  9. Just before the end is an imprisoned monouga (if you didn't summon it to the feeding pits earlier).
  10. Just past the monouga room, pick up the experiment log on the ground then recall (there is no exit portal).
  11. Return to Corporal Liao Chen in Cragstone and give him the experiment log.

Items

Lore & Dialog

Corporal Liao Chen tells you, "Greetings, adventurer. I greet you in the name of Queen Elysa, whose command brings me here today."
Corporal Liao Chen gives you Monouga Laboratory Portal Attunement Gem.</fond>
Corporal Liao Chen tells you, "We seek intrepid adventurers like yourself, who might be willing to help us investigate a concerning development. It seems that some travelers have discovered a cavern in which drudges have been keeping monougas captive. What is unusual is that the drudges have very sophisticated portal sending enchantments which would seem to be beyond their means. We suspect Virindi involvement of some sort."
Corporal Liao Chen tells you, "Therefore, Prince Borelean led an expedition to investigate this drudge cavern. When he was finished, he had determined a way to reverse the portal sending - to open a portal from that location to the source of the monougas. These portal gems are the result of that determination."
Corporal Liao Chen tells you, "The Queen has commanded that whatever lay on the other side of that portal transit should be explored carefully, with the assumption that whatever is there is hostile. To do so, take the gem I have given you and charge it against the feeding bell. It will reverse the workings of the bell's portal sending magic, and, instead of summoning a drudge and a monouga, will open portals to the source of these monsters."
Corporal Liao Chen tells you, "You are welcome to explore the drudge cave, although many have explored it before now. The Queen seeks adventurers to enter the portal from which the monougas come, and hopefully more fully identify exactly what all of this humanoid activity means to the Isparian inhabitants of Dereth."


You ring the bell.
In the distance, shrieks and growls echo through the halls. A purple light glows brightly for a few moments.


You give Bell Monouga Laboratory Portal Attunement Gem.
A tendril of violet energy flickers from the gem to the bell. Suddenly, the gem shatters into a fine powder which trickles out of your hand. You think that the bell now might do something different if rung.

You ring the bell.
The bell's hollow ring echoes through the corridors and the gantry, and a cold purple glow radiates from below.


The Drudge Caretaker spreads his collected food out in the Monouga's feeding area.


You give Corporal Liao Chen Monouga Experiment Log.

The guard nods at the journal.
