Walkthrough:

1. Talk to the high priest in the church in Sophanem, ask him
about any news. Go up one of the ladders to discover the corpse
isn't quite dead yet.

2. Talk to Maisa, asking her the available questions then go
back down the ladder and talk to the high priest again.
3. Exit the city of Sophanem then head east then south-east
until you get to a marshy area. "push" through the reeds and
make your way north-west and "climb" the fallen pillar.


Head up the stairs, go west slightly and talk to Abigail. Ask
her to test you

Answers are
a) 88 multiplied by 2.5
b) 418
c) 454
d) 113
4. Talk to Abigail again and she'll assign you to collect some
bronze items. Exit the area the way you came in. Head to the
agility pyramid and make your way to the top. Take the gold
pyramid top.
5. Teleport out of the desert and collect the bronze items you
need. Next take a bucket out of the bank and to south through
the Shantay pass and take the magic carpet to Polnivneach
6. Head to the kebab shop and buy some special kebab sauce from
Ali the Kebab seller.

Head slightly south-west of the kebab shop and use the sauce
with a trough by the camels. Wait for the camels to drop some
dung then use your bucket with the dung.

7. If you have 60 crafting, go out into the desert and use the
dung with the bronze items then use the oxidised bronze items
with the empty crate. If you don't have 60 crafting, put the
bronze items in the crate and take them back to the
archaeologists who will distress them for you.
8. Head back to the agility arena just north-east of Sophanem
and use the oxidised plate skirts and pyramid top with Simon
Templeton.

9. Head Back into Sophanem and prepare yourself for a long trip
into pyramid plunder. Take lots of food, anti poison potions and
a weapon. Your objective is to collect 10 gold artefacts from
the urns in the pyramid. Avoid the chest and the sarcophagus and
aim for the 2nd to last room you can reach, thieve everything in
there then do the last room you can reach.

Don't use lockpicks as this only slows you down. When you have
these, take them to Simon Templeton in UN NOTED form. After
this, head back to a bank and prepare for a fight with food,
decent armour and a superset. Take tele runes also as insurance.
10. Head back to Abigail and give her the receipt. Next kill
some of the undead monsters and scabarites near the camp to get
the 4 note pages.

"copy these into the research book and return to Abigail. She
gives you a scabarite key.
11. Head north of the archaeologists and go down the stairs
marked by a "!" on the minimap. Go south-west and talk to the
clay golem. Next go north and take all the fuel out of the
storage box.

Use logs with the furnace and talk to the golem again, tell him
you're ready to operate the levers.
12. Now allocate the power to the 4 rooms. The most power should
be placed in rooms that require your weakest skills. In general
it is best to put the highest power in the scarab room and the
2nd highest in the agility walkway room.
13. Go west and pull the lever in the empty room. Go east again
and solve the puzzle in the box room. It's a memory puzzle, you
must turn over 3 of the same rune at the same time.

The easiest way to do this is writing down where the runes are.
You can get extra tries by manipulating the cog, pinion and
switch.
14. Prepare for a fight and kill the scarab in the room to the
north. He uses magic and melee against you. Now go east and pull
the lever in the agility room.
15. When you've done all 4 rooms you can proceed west. Go as far
as you can and talk to the high priest in the most
north-westerly room. Talk to the high priest of Scabaras and
then attack him using a superset if you have one.

Use protect against magic or ranged as he uses both. When the
fight is over, talk to him saying "by all the deities, what's
going on here" and then "Sounds like the devourer dragged you
into heresy".
16. Return to Sophanem and talk to the high priest. Quest
