Quick Walk Through

  1. Find Hea Temenua, a random rare spawn on the Marescent Plateau, and loot a Hea Totem from his corpse
  2. Hand the totem in to one of the 3 Aun NPCs in the big tent in the center of Timaru for the weapon of your choice.
    • Aun Kiriona gives the Melee Staff (Hoeroa).
    • Aun Turiona gives the Crossbow (Kalindan).
    • Aun Rukuona gives the Casting Staff (Stave).
    • Note: You can still hand the Totem to Aun Hareltah, however, you must talk with him before you hand the totem. Hareltah can give any of the three weapons but you have to talk with him before you hand the totem and he will tell you which weapon he will give you. This was the way the quest used to work before the other NPCs were added. It is preferable to use the NPCs in the back of the tent to choose your weapon so you won't mistakenly get the wrong one.
  3. Decide which three totems you want to add to the weapon. Different totems add different extra properties or spells to your weapon (see below).
  4. Collect the pieces of Rubble corresponding to the Totems you want to add from the random spawning Olthoi dungeons on the Marescent Plateau (see below).
  5. Deliver the Rubble to Aun Ngationa in the big tent near Aun Hareltah.
  6. Attach the three totems of your choice to your weapon.

Hea Totem

Hea Temenua spawns randomly on the Marescent Plateau. Kill him, he drops the Hea Totem and the 2 pieces for the Elari Wood Bow.
Turn the Totem in to one of the NPCs along the back wall of the big tent of in Timaru. You will receive an attuned/bonded version of the weapon that cannot yet be wielded.

Rubble, Totems, Spells & Olthoi Dungeons

Decide before which Totems you want to add:

Totem Magic Melee Missile
Tonk Focus VI Staff Mastery VI Crossbow Mastery VI
Storm Avalanche (War Spell - it will rain hail stones) less normal damage, 4x Critital Strike Damage, Eye of the Hunter (175% instead of 145%
Siraluun Mana Renewal VI Rejuvenation VI Regeneration VI
Carenzi War Magic Mastery VI Strength VI Coordination VI
Timaru Timaru's Shelter (+10 Magic Def) Timaru's Shelter (+10 natural armor) Timaru's Shelter (+10 Quick)


Find the appropriate random spawning Hive on the Marescent Plateau:

Totem Hive
Tonk Tiny Hive (35+)
Storm Small Hive (40+)
Siraluun Simple Hive (50+)
Carenzi Shallow Hive (60+)
Timaru New Hive (70+)

Make your way to the bottom, and loot the Rubble of the corpse of a special Olthoi, a Blue colored Noble. This Olthoi is not always there, you might have to wait a few spawns for it to appear.

Turn the Rubble in to the Aun Ngationa in the tent of Aun Hareltah in Timaru to receive a totem that you can add to the weapon.


Alternatively the five different totems you get from turning the Rubble can be given to Aun Hareltah for some experience (500,000 max).

Lore & Dialog

Handing the Hea Totem to Aun Hareltah:
You give Aun Hareltah Hea Totem.
Aun Hareltah looks at the totem sadly.

"Ah, Temepuh. Too many of our people have fallen at the hands of your brutal raiders.
The Tah of Aun tucks the totem into his medicine pouch, and looks you in the eye.
"Later, I will join Temenpuh's power to my buadren, that he may in death redeem his life. But now I will reward you, with that thing most precious to the Aun."
Aun Hareltah gives you The Hoeroa of Palenqual.
Aun Hareltah gives you Hoeroa of Palenqual.

"This is the Hoeroa of Palenqual - the living totem of this island itself, given to us by spirits of this place who call themselves Deru. It may be turned into a powerful force for good or ill."
"But you have difficult choices to make before it will serve you, [Player Name]. My note will explain."
