Mission 1 - Seeking a cure

• We go to the pyramid, in the southern part of Banuta, where we talk to Hairycles:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	These are dire times for our people. Problems plenty are in this times. But me people not grant trust easy. Are you willing to prove you friend of ape people?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	To become friend of ape people a long and difficult way is. We do not trust easy but help is needed. Will you listen to story of Hairycles?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	So listen, little ape was struck by plague. Hairycles not does know what plague it is. That is strange. Hairycles should know. But Hairycles learnt lots and lots ... Me sure to make cure so strong to drive away all plague. But to create great cure me need powerful components ... Me need whisper moss. Whisper moss growing south of human settlement is. Problem is, evil little dworcs harvest all whisper moss immediately ... Me know they hoard some in their underground lair. My people raided dworcs often before humans came. So we know the moss is hidden in east of upper level of dworc lair ... You go there and take good moss from evil dworcs. Talk with me about mission when having moss.

• We agreed to help the monkeys, despite the fact that they can sometimes be annoying. To cure a young monkey, Hairycles needs whispering moss. It grows south of the colony, but unfortunately, the manors have harvested all these plants. To get it, we have to go to their cave.

• The way to their cave is preceded by numerous traps. We need to carry a gun so we can smash the bamboo bars. Once inside, we go to the door with a flickering handle, behind which there will be moss.
• We return to the monkey:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Oh, you brought me whisper moss? Good hairless ape you are! Can me take it?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Ah yes! That's it. Thank you for bringing mighty whisper moss to Hairycles. It will help but still much is to be done. Just ask for other mission if you ready.

Mission 2 - Syrup

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Whisper moss strong is, but me need liquid that humans have to make it work ... Our raiders brought it from human settlement, it's called cough syrup. Go ask healer there for it.

• Moss is a powerful medicine, but in order for it to work properly you need "the liquid that people have." Hairycles is referring to the syrup that monkey invaders stole from the city.
• We talk to the priest:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Brewster:	G...greetings <hicks>.
Player:	cough syrup
Brewster:	The only person who might have some cough syrup is this druid Ustan. You find him in the tavern. Hmmm the tavern ... <hicks>

• He says the only person with syrup is the druid Ustan.

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Ustan:	Crunor's blessing, traveller.
Player:	cough syrup
Ustan:	I had some cough syrup a while ago. It was stolen in an ape raid. I fear if you want more cough syrup you will have to buy it in the druids guild in carlin.

• Ustan says that the last bottle was stolen during the monkey raid, so he sends you to Padreia, the leader of the druid guild in Carlin.

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Padreia:	Welcome to our humble guild, wanderer. May I be of any assistance to you?
Player:	cough syrup
Padreia:	Do you want to buy a bottle of cough syrup for 50 gold?
Player:	yes
Padreia:	Thank you. Here it is.

• We buy a bottle of syrup for 50 gp, and return to Hairycles:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	You brought me that cough syrup from human healer me asked for?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	You so good! Brought syrup to me! Thank you, will prepare cure now. Just ask for mission if you want help again.

Mission 3 - The plague and the Old Parchment.

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Little ape should be healthy soon. Me so happy is. Thank you again! But me suspect we in more trouble than we thought. Will you help us again?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	So listen, please. Plague was not ordinary plague. That's why Hairycles could not heal at first. It is new curse of evil lizard people ... I think curse on little one was only a try. We have to be prepared for big strike ... Me need papers of lizard magician! For sure you find it in his hut in their dwelling. It's south east of jungle. Go look there please! Are you willing to go
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Good thing that is! Report about your mission when have scroll.

• In this mission we have to get an Old Parchment from the city of lizardfolk - Chor, because the plague kills monkeys. It is the curse of the lizardfolk. We reach the hut according to the map and take the Old Parchment from behind the door with a flickering handle.

• Back to Hairycles:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	You got scroll from lizard village in south east?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	You brought scroll with lizard text? Good! I will see what text tells me! Come back when ready for other mission.

Mission 4 - Deciphering the parchment.

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Ah yes that scroll. Sadly me not could read it yet. But the holy banana me insight gave! In dreams Hairycles saw where to find solution ... Me saw a stone with lizard signs and other signs at once. If you read signs and tell Hairycles, me will know how to read signs ... You go east to big desert. In desert there city. East of city under sand hidden tomb is. You will have to dig until you find it, so take shovel ... Go down in tomb until come to big level and then go down another. There you find a stone with signs between two huge red stones ... Read it and return to me. Are you up to that challenge?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Good thing that is! Report about mission when you have read those signs.

• Hairycles says he can't read, the inscription on the parchment you provided him. So he asks you to go to the tombs by the desert city and find a way to read it there. You go to Ankrahmun, and more specifically to the Shadow Tomb
• Go down 6 floors (2nd level of the tomb). We reach the pillar marked on the map. When the symbols appear, we return to the principal.

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Ah yes, you read the signs in tomb? Good! May me look into your mind to see what you saw?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Oh, so clear is all now! Easy it will be to read the signs now! Soon we will know what to do! Thank you again! Ask for mission if you feel ready.

Mission 5 - Talisman of life

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	So much there is to do for Hairycles to prepare charm that will protect all ape people ... You can help more. To create charm of life me need mighty token of life! Best is egg of a regenerating beast as a Hydra is .... Bring me egg of hydra please. You may fight it in lair of Hydra at little lake south east of our lovely city Banuta! You think you can do?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	You brave hairless ape! Get me Hydra Egg. If you lose egg, you probably have to fight many, many Hydras to get another.

• Hairycles, wants to create a talisman for the entire monkey family. To do this, he needs a Hydra Egg - a symbol of life. We can buy this egg, get it from a defeated hydra, or steal it from the nest (Hydra Egg Quest). Once we get the egg, we give it to Hairycles:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	You bring Hairycles egg of hydra?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Ah, the egg! Mighty warrior you be! Thank you. Hairycles will put it at safe place immediately.

Mission 6 - Witch's Mushroom

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Last ingredient for charm of life is thing to lure magic. Only thing me know like that is mushroom called witches cap. Me wastold it be found in isle called Fibula, where humans live ... Hidden under Fibula is a secret dungeon. There you will find witches cap. Are you willing to go there for good ape people?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Long journey it will take, good luck to you.

• Our task is to get the Witches' Cap Spot, capable of concentrating magic. It is located in the underground of Fibula. The door may be open, but if it is not, we will need Key 3940. When we enter the underground, we enter the southern door and then descend the ladder. The hag mushroom is behind in the second destroyed building south of the left entrance to the cave with the Beholder and the Demon Skeleton.

• After getting the mushroom, return to the monkey guide and report:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Oh! Hello! Hello! Did not notice!
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	You brought Hairycles witches cap from Fibula?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Incredible, you brought a witches cap! Now me can prepare mighty charm of life. Yet still other missions will await you, friend.

Mission 7 - Lizardfolk's drink of madness

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Be greeted, friend of the ape people. If you want to trade, just ask for my offers. If you are injured, ask for healing.
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Mighty life charm is protecting us now! But my people are still in danger. Danger from within ... Some of my people try to mimic lizards to become strong. Like lizards did before, this cult drinks strange fluid that lizardsleft when fled ... Under the city still the underground temple of lizards is. There you find casks with red fluid. Take Crowbar and destroy three of them to stop this madness. Are you willing to do that?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Hairycles sure you will make it. Good luck, friend.

• We were given the task of destroying the barrels under Banuta, because some monkeys are trying to imitate lizard people and drink the red liquid from them. We will need a Crowbar for this. To stop this madness, we go underground (under the Hairycles pyramid). We head northwest until we reach the descent. Head according to the map (at the crossroads follow the black arrow) until you reach the chamber with barrels (be prepared to meet a lot of monkeys).

• There are 7 barrels in the chamber, use the Crowbar only on 3 of them. If you are going with more than two people, after destroying 6 barrels, you should wait for the barrels to appear. This takes about 5 minutes. Return to Hairycles to complete the missions.

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Be greeted, friend of the ape people. If you want to trade, just ask for my offers. If you are injured, ask for healing.
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	You do please Hairycles again, friend. Me hope madness will not spread further now. Perhaps you are ready for other mission.

Mission 8 - In search of Bong

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Be greeted, friend of the ape people. If you want to trade, just ask for my offers. If you are injured, ask for healing.
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Now that the false cult was stopped, we need to strengthen the spirit of my people. We need a symbol of our faith that apepeople can see and touch ... Since you have proven a friend of the ape people I will grant you permission to enter the forbidden land ... To enter the forbidden land in the north-east of the jungle, look for a cave in the mountains east of it. There you will find theblind prophet ... Tell him Hairycles you sent and he will grant you entrance ... Forbidden land is home of Bong. Holy giant ape big as mountain. Don't annoy him in any way but look for a hair of holy ape ... You might find at places he has been, should be easy to see them since Bong is big ... Return a hair of the holy ape to me. Will you do this for Hairycles?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Hairycles proud of you. Go and find holy hair. Good luck, friend.

• To strengthen faith in the monkeys, Hairycles wants to show them something unusual. We have to find the hair of Bonga - the great sacred ape. This is a difficult mission, because we have to face monsters such as Behemoths, Giant Spiders, Hydras and Earth Elementals. We go to The Blind Prophet, who lives in a cave, under the Kha'zeel mountains and write:

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Player:	transport
Player:	yes

• Being already inside the palisade surrounding the Forbidden Lands, we go northwest to take a Giant Ape's Hair. The tactic is simple: we move first to the west and then to the north walking constantly at the wall so as not to fight most of the monsters.

• Giant Ape's Hair will be found in a footprint with two cobras by it. We return with the acquired hair to Hairycles.

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Be greeted, friend of the ape people. If you want to trade, just ask for my offers. If you are injured, ask for healing.
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	You brought hair of holy ape?
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Incredible! You got a hair of holy Bong! This will raise the spirit of my people. You are truly a friend. But one last mission awaits you.

Mission 9 - Wrath of the Serpent God

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Be greeted, friend of the ape people. If you want to trade, just ask for my offers. If you are injured, ask for healing.
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	You have proven yourself a friend, me will grant you permission to enter the deepest catacombs under Banuta which we havesealed in the past ... Me still can sense the evil presence there. We did not dare to go deeper and fight creatures of evil there ... You may go there, fight the evil and find the monument of the serpent god and destroy it with hammer me give to you ...
Player:	yes
Hairycles:	Hairycles sure you will make it. Just use hammer on all that looks like snake or lizard. Tell Hairycles if you succeed with mission.

• This is the last and also the most difficult mission. Using the Snake Destroyer we got from Hairycles, we have to destroy the snake's head, which is located deep under Banuta. In this mission you will have to face such monsters as Elder Beholder, Efreet, Bonebeast, Hydras, Serpent Spawns and Medusas. For this mission you need a well-coordinated team and at least 2 blockers. We go initially as we did during mission 7, only earlier we turn right and enter the teleport (that is, we follow the white arrow on the map below).

• Entering 1 teleport, we are tasked with destroying 4 Amphoras in a short period of time, using any type of axe, sword or edged weapon, and run into the teleport. Here we'll encounter Green Djinns, Efreets, Elder Beholder, Beholders, Stone Golems, Bonebeasts, Gargoyles and Slime. We quickly smash the amphorae, then run on.

• The amphorae that need to be broken are marked with the stars.

• Behind this teleport, a more difficult task awaits. You need to push 6 levers in a short time (2-3 minutes) and run behind the door. Here it is best to divide the team into two, with one or two people staying at each lever (they are marked with circles on the map) blocking the respawn of monsters. When all the places with levers are occupied, press the levers.
• The lead team should gather all the players blocking the respawn to the chamber with the snake's head, starting from the largest room (where there were 15 Hydras before) and heading counterclockwise. Once everyone is in the chamber, each in turn destroys the snake's head with a Snake Destroyer. The snake head renews itself every 40 seconds. The chamber also contains Damaged Steel Helmet needed for the quest for the Knight Addons Quest accessories.

• If you lose the hammer, you can buy it back on the Game Store -> Quest Items. When the whole team has destroyed the snake's head, we return to Hairycles by the same route (this time without pressing the lever):

Conversation:

Player:	hi
Hairycles:	Be greeted, friend of the ape people. If you want to trade, just ask for my offers. If you are injured, ask for healing.
Player:	mission
Hairycles:	Finally my people are safe! You have done incredible good for ape people and one day even me brethren will recognise that ... I wish I could speak for all when me call you true friend but my people need time to get accustomed to change ... Let us hope one day whole Banuta will greet you as a friend. Perhaps you want to check me offers for special friends... or shamanic powers.

• As a reward for your toil, you can buy monkey statues from Hairycles to decorate your home and get a basic Shaman Outfits Quest.
