How To Start The Quest

Go to The Keldagrim mines, east of Rellekka and north of the Mountain Camp and enter the cave. Continue into the smaller cave to the north and speak to the Dwarven ferryman. Pay him 2 gp to go across the river (a Ring of charos (a) will allow you to travel for free). Dondakan is located in the northwest part of the area, you will see him firing a cannon into a wall. Speak to him and agree to help him find out what is inside the rock.

Walkthrough

• Step One: Go back to the Dwarven ferryman and he will take you back across for 2gp. Walk back up the path and talk to the Dwarven boatman and have him take you to Keldagrim. Once there you will need to go talk to the librarian, he is in the first building on the west side of the bridge. He will tell you that you will need to talk to the dwarf engineer.

• Step Two: Visit the Dwarf engineer, located just to the south at the anvil icon on the mini-map. He will explain about Rolad, and where he is.

• Step Three: Rolad can be found in one of the two buildings where you can buy a Dwarven cannon (just beside the entrance to the Dwarven mine). Talk to Rolad and he will tell you to find some book pages. They are located in the mine below.

1. Kill a King Scorpion: You will receive it as a drop, though you may have to kill several to obtain it.
2. Inside a Mining Cart: search all of them until you find it.
3. Mine some ores to find the last book page

• Step Four: Now go back to Rolad and hand him the pages. He will put them together and give you a book. He will ask you to bring it back, you can say "Of course" or "Of course (lie)." Read the book to find out more about the quest.

• Step Five: Head back to Dondakan and inform him about what you read. Now he will ask you to find a hard material which can break through "his" rock. Show him a Gold ore and he ask you to smith it into a Golden cannonball.

• Step Six: Go to a furnace and use a Gold bar along with Ammo mould to make a Golden cannonball.

• Step Seven: Go back to Dondakan and give him the ball. After you use the ball on him he will fire it. The ball will go straight through the rock. Now Dondakan will want to shoot you through the rock too!

• Step Eight: Agree with him and he will tell you he has to modify the cannon. He will also tell you to find all the different schematics for the multicannon modifications and that you must make a golden helmet

1. Dondakan gives you what he has that was sent to him.
2. Go back to the Dwarven Engineer (at Wedmund's Wrench Shop in Keldagrim) and ask him about schematics.
3. Go back to Rolad. He again has lost them so you will have to find them it for him, it is actually the last page of the book, read the book again after talking to him and it will ask you if you want to tear out the page, say yes.
4. Khorvak, the dwarven engineer, is located in the pass under White Wolf mountain (north of Catherby - South of Hero's Guild). He is in the room with the Dwarven stouts, and will ask you to get him one before giving you the schematics. If you select the "Don't Buy" option in the conversation, you get to see your character go into an annoyed tirade about all these characters requesting drinks. It's quite funny.

• Step Nine: Once you have all the schematics, put them together. A window will pop up for you to put the puzzle together. Make it look like the given image of the schematics..

• Step Ten: Now go make your golden helmet. Get 3 gold bars and a hammer. Use one of the bars on the anvil, then you can choose between making a bowl or a helmet. Make a helmet.

• Step Eleven: Now prepare to become a human cannonball and fight a level 75 to 125 (Depends on your level) enemy. Wear your new gold helmet. Bring some Food and a Pickaxe. Once ready, talk to Dondakan. You will actually be shot into the rock.

• Step Twelve: When you get through, move to the center of the rock. Mine as much gold as you can. The more you take the easier the spirit is to kill. Jump through the first flame to get to the center. There you will find some more flames. Talk to the flames and a spirit will attack you. It is advised to turn on "Protect from Magic".

NOTE: You can not defeat him without having some gold in your inventory. Therefore, if you do not have enough gold, take off your helmet. If you take off your helmet you will be teleported back to Dondakan. Tell him what happened, put your helmet back on and try again, this time getting more gold.

• Step Thirteen: Once the spirit is defeated you will be teleported out of the rock. Talk to Dondakan again to complete the quest.
