Quest Overview
Due to events surrounding the Ancient Olthoi Queen, Olthoi activity on mainland Dereth increased greatly. Previously undiscovered deeper catacombs appeared ins everal of the older Olthoi dungeons, and these deeper catacombs all connected to an even deeper dungeon, the Catacombs of Opposition. Elysa sent scouts to investigate these new tunnels, and the scouts left notes behind for adventurers to find. In the deepest catacombs a group of Isparian Olthoi fighters were found, having been cut off from the outside world since the days of The One Queen. These fighters were adept at crafting weapons from the remains of Olthoi.
- There are two portions to this quest: the notes from scouts, and the crafting of Olthoi weapons. See the walkthroughs below for more information.
Walk Through
Notes from Scouts
All notes are on a 13 day pick-up timer.
First Notes
- Enter one of the dungeons below.
- Make your way to the end of the dungeon, and enter the Deeper Catacombs.
- At the end of the Deeper Catacombs, pick up the Note from a Scout.
- Note: For the Lair of Death, the note is found at the end of the first dungeon, and not in the deeper catacombs.
- Repeat steps 1 - 3 for any other notes you wish to obtain.

- Traverse the dungeon to reach the Olthoi Fighter resistance camp.
- Speak to Scout Luzumin Abigwei to receive A Note from a Scout.
Rewards
- Bring any notes you have collected to the Royal Guard in Cragstone for an experience reward.
Small Olthoi Grubs
- You can find several Small Olthoi Grubs in the Catacombs of Opposition.
- From the big room with Ripper take the east passage and follow it all the way to a dead end. There will be 3 Grubs on the ground there.
- Return to the Olthoi Town and give the Grubs to Pincer Danta in exchange for a Grub Bite.
Making the Olthoi Weapons
- In the Catacombs of Opposition many of the types of olthoi drop special trophies that can be given to the NPCs in the town in exchange for weapons.
- The Femur, Stab Claw, and Long Claw all have a 1 week timer on picking them up. However, the Crest has no timer (presumably because it can used to make two different weapons).
- The drop rates are all relatively high except for the Femur from the Olthoi Soldier which has an unusually low drop rate. Be prepared to spend well over an hour killing Soldiers for the Femur if you're not lucky.
- A couple of the weapons require some mundane store bought items to be given to the NPC. You can buy these before you start the quest and it will save you the trouble of finding them off the olthoi.

Olthoi Fighter Dialog
The big man does not speak, only looks at you with eyes that seem no longer human.

Narg tells you, "Hey, ya bring me a Olthoi crest and I make ya a fine axe. Nothin' busts bug shell like bug shell, I always say. Need some wood too though, and that's rare here. An old quarterstaff might do if ya got one. A plain, old wood quarterstaff."
You give Narg Olthoi Crest.
Narg tells you, "Yeah this should do but I still need a quarterstaff, if ya take my meaning."

And freshly killed."

Pincer Danta tells you, "I made a nice atlatl out of pincers. Seeing as how you're here fighting the bugs with us, if you get me a bug's stabbing claw I could carve it into an atlatl for you. Also need an Olthoi femur. That's the top part of the leg, in case you don't know. You been around Olthoi as much as us, you get to know a lot about 'em. Femur and a stabbing claw, that's what I need."

There's more of the bugs now, though. Guess you got down here in your fancy armor. Well, maybe you ain't leavin' either. Maybe we ain't leavin' too. Kinda cozy down here."
Mandible tells you, "Ooo hah! I love the smell of burnin' chitin in the morning. But down here ya never know when it's morning."
Mandible tells you, "Yeah, I'm tough but I sure like to eat grub bites. Nothin' better than grub bites. 'cept maybe the foot races we used to have back home. Those was fun. Here we just run from bugs. But then we turn and ambush 'em. Yeah that's right we tear 'em up."
