Katana Quest

Requirements

• A shovel to open the grave
• A rope to climb back out (the caves have rope spots)
• Spiders and a poison spider at the entrance, skeletons on the second floor, rotworms in the poison caves; two skeletons and a rotworm in the treasure room
• Poison gas: cross it quickly and bring healing (antidote runes or potions help)

How to complete

1. Step 1

   Go to the small graveyard north-east of the town (the sign reads "Kendram Benson") and use your shovel on the middle stone pile.

   

2. Step 2

   Climb down. Spiders live in this cave: follow it south-west to the hole and jump in.

   

3. Step 3

   You land among skeletons. Walk east along the southern passage until you reach the rope spot: the way continues east through the poison gas.

   

4. Step 4

   Cross the poison gas eastwards. Right after it a corridor leads north into a chamber of dead bodies with rotworms; one of the bodies in the northern part of the chamber holds the silver key.

   

5. Step 5

   Go back south to the corridor east of the poison gas: a hole leads one floor down.

   

6. Step 6

   Below, a single skeleton guards a locked door. Open it with the silver key and take the stairs down.

   

7. Step 7

   The lever is hidden behind the northern white pillar. Pull it to open the door of the room.

   

8. Step 8

   Search the two fresh bodies inside the room: one holds a katana, the other a viking helmet.

   

Rewards

• silver key
• katana
• viking helmet

Tips

• The lever only opens and closes the door; nobody can open it from the corridor by hand. If it gets closed while you are inside, use the door from inside the room to get out.
• Two skeletons and a rotworm spawn inside the room. Let them come out to you or fight them one by one at the door.
• The silver key stays with you: you only need to fetch it once, and each body gives its reward once per player.
• To leave, use your rope on the spot under the hole (32175,32147,10), then under the skeleton hole (32146,32158,9) and finally under the grave (32151,32150,8). The rope spot next to the poison gas (32160,32150,9) only leads up into a closed cave full of rotworms, whose hole drops you back to the same place.
