Walkthrough

 * Getting Started


 * Walk up the ramps and talk to Foxpaw.
 * If you're going to attempt the machine optional, best to do it now. Foxpaw's lab is destroyed later in the quest, making the puzzle uncompletable.
 * The puzzle has two steps. First, pull "That Lever" on the second floor, and solve a tile puzzle on the ground to light all five runes simultaneously (careful of all the traps.) Next, solve a simple mirror and tile puzzle in the rafters, and watch the machine blow up.
 * After this, a Steam Elemental spawns on the ground floor. Kill it for the optional and the chest.
 * Pull the lever behind Foxpaw to open an exit to the basement.
 * Leave the house and head straight across to a bar.
 * Speak to the Thug to initiate a bar fight. If you like, you can step outside for a minute and let most of the monsters finish each other off.
 * After this, the Sahuagin Guide in the corner agrees to lead you to the Conch.


 * Into the Maw


 * Somewhere in this underground segment are four crests - an axe, a scimitar, a trident and a hammer. The hammer is optional, and will open the way to Greigur d'Deneith and a shrine later on. The other three crests are required.
 * The caverns consist of three sections: an underwater spike course, a short tunnel full of bear traps, and a collection of small caves containing monsters.
 * Known crest locations:
 * Underwater, at the very beginning or in a hole
 * Underwater, in or just after the spikes
 * On the wooden decking
 * Scorpion cave
 * Gator cave
 * Rust monster cave
 * Rat cave (behind a secret door)
 * If there is a crest in here (there usually is), it will be the hammer crest.
 * Buff up before slotting the final crest - the first boss is behind the door.


 * Pirates!


 * Pirates have broken in and swiped the conch! Beat down the red-named raptor and speak to the injured elder.
 * Head out, fighting off pirates and axe-wielding skeletons. If you found the hammer crest, use it to open a door to a rest shrine and a balcony where you can speak to Greigur d'Deneith.
 * Greigur will ask you to speak to Yorrick Amanatu and Graden Wylkes. Both of these are found later on your route.
 * Now climb the stairs located near the hammer socket door, keep going upwards and fight pirates across the rooftops. You'll eventually get to a large roof with several groups of pirates and raptors - kill the orange-named Very Important Pirate to drop the barrier blocking your way.
 * Yorrick Amanatu is just after this section on a red roof, behind a group of pirates fighting guards.


 * The Finale


 * Graden Wylkes is in the courtyard, with a couple of other Harbor NPCs.
 * Foxpaw's house is full of raptors and on fire. Ignore it, and head into the warehouse.
 * The back door of the warehouse leads to a pier where the pirates' ship is docked. Clear pirates off the main deck, then head to the bow to confront the Dread Pirate Roberts.
 * Talk to Foxpaw and the Sahuagin Elder. Afterwards, pick up the scroll and conch to finish the quest.
