Walkthrough
If you need to bank the bank in Yanille is convenient to this quest. Banking in Castle Wars is also viable throughout the quest. Empty inventory space is important so be sure you have space to pick up items along the way.

Getting to Yanille
(Watchtower teletabs do not work until quest is complete)

(see picture to the right) and East of Yanille (code: C•L•S)
 * Teleport to house in Yanille
 * use the "Nightmare Zone" Minigame Teleport.
 * (2) Fairy Rings:
 * just North West of Yanille (code: C•I•Q)
 * The Fairy Rings to the East is slightly closer to the watchtower but has poisonous spiders aggressive to medium-low level players.


 * Ring of dueling to Castle Wars (Banking will save time if needed)

Getting started


Coming from the East you can use north agility shortcut. Coming from West you can avoid the city rounding north of Nightmare Zone. He will explain that the Watchtower is not working because the spell created does not keep out Ogres. He will tell you that the crystals that make the spell have been stolen! He will ask you to search the grounds of the watchtower. You can now use the tower's main ladder without being thrown out. You'll find some other things, too, but you only need to search until you find the fingernails. You can drop the remaining items, as they have no value.
 * 1) Make your way to the Watchtower just North of Yanille.
 * 1) Climb up the trellis on the north side of the tower.
 * 2) Then climb up the ladder and talk to the Watchtower Wizard.
 * 1) Searching the bushes.pngh the bushes outside until you find some fingernails.
 * 1) Go back to the Watchtower Wizard and show him the fingernails.

The wizard will tell you that the fingernails belong to Skavids, the servants of the ogres, and that they have stolen the four power crystals that protect the city from ogres.

Your job is to recover the crystals.

Accessing the City
The first thing you need to do is gain access to the city. In order to enter, you'll need to help out three ogre tribe chieftains to get pieces of an ogre relic. This can then be given to the gate guards to prove that you're a friend to the ogres.

Og
Go through the city of Yanille using the agility shortcut or the east entrance. Stop at the bank to grab your armour, food, two ropes, and one set of dragon bones. Head out the west gate and turn northwest to find a tribe of Ogres. Note that, as a general rule of thumb, any ogre that wields a mace is non aggressive. Talk to Og to learn that his nemesis, Toban, stole a bar of gold from him. Your job is to get it back. Og will give you a key to Toban's chest. Keep this key with you for later.

Grew
Head south of Og's tribe. You should see an island with an ogre tribe on it and some jangerberries. Find the long branched tree on the west shore. Use one rope on the branch of the tree (not the tree itself) to swing to the island. Note that you will lose the rope. Take some jangerberries because you'll need them later in the quest. Talk to Grew. Grew will tell you to teach his enemy, Gorad, a lesson by knocking one of his teeth out (make sure that you have room in your inventory for this tooth, or you will have to kill him again).

Toban
The next stop is a third tribe of ogres. Leave the island using the tree with the rope swing on the north side. Head southeast then go around Gu'Tanoth headed south. Turn west when you pass the broken bridge leading to the small island, and continue until you reach a hole surrounded by rocks ''The hole is directly northwest of the gnome glider. The hole is also northwest of the destroyed building containing two bones spawns just south of Gu'Tanoth''. - look on your minimap if you're having trouble finding it as it should be represented by a red exclamation mark.

You can get here quickly by entering the skavid tunnels. Keep entering them until you appear next to the broken bridge.

A death rune spawns a little to the south of this hole. It's required later in the quest, so pick one up now if you haven't already, but beware of the Level-64 Wolves surrounding it! Enter the hole to reach an island with Toban's tribe on it. South of the ladder, you should find a level 68 chieftain called Gorad. Talk to him and tell him that you have come to knock his teeth out. He will attack you. Kill him to get a tooth. Keep the tooth for later. '''NOTE: If you have a full inventory you will not be able to get the tooth because the dialogue box will not load. Keep a few spots open for need of claiming items later on in the quest.'''

Next, speak to Toban. He will ask you to give him the bones of a dragon to chew on. Give him your dragon bones. ''' Make sure not to bury them! ''' Toban will give you the third piece of the relic in return.

Open Toban's chest on the island and you will find Og's stolen gold.

Completing the relic
Items needed:
 * rope
 * tooth (from earlier)
 * empty space (first crystal)
 * Jangerberries (or space)
 * Stolen Gold Bar (from earlier)

Leave the island via the ladder. Make your way around the west side of the ogre city or teleport by either walking or using a Ring of Dueling or Minigame Group Finder teleport to Castle wars and walk back to Grew's island (with the jangerberries). Use your second rope on the tree. Talk to Grew to give him Gorad's tooth. You will receive another piece of the relic in return for your deed. He will also give you the first crystal! Keep this for later. Leave the island using the rope swing and head north back to Og (This is also a good time to obtain the Jangerberries if you forgot to earlier). Talk to him to give him his stolen gold bar. You will receive the final piece of the relic.

Off to the Ogre City
Once you have all three parts of the relic, take them to the Watchtower Wizard to get them assembled. Head through Yanille and use the agility shortcut if possible. While at the watchtower pick up a candle at the spawn on the ground level if you need a light source. Stop at the bank to pick up a tinderbox, light source, anti-dragon shield, death rune and gold bar and to deposit the crystal for safe keeping.

the market
