The Hag's Assistant
The Hag's Assistant is a classic quest that is located South East of the Grove of Love.
Talk to Grizelda the Hag and you will be sent off looking for one of her apprentices with warnings of the vile Zeefzorpul. She directs you to the road west of the ruins and up the road towards Yew's graveyard. Follow it north until you find a charred corpse (usually past 2 guard outposts) and be very careful to stay on the path. Opening the corpse continues the quest.
Return to Grizelda and report your findings. Once you tell her of the demise of her apprentice, she sends you out to find Zeefzorpul and return a scrap of parchment to her. To do this you will need to slay some Imps; Once you have slain enough you will be given a map and a magic flute. Decipher the map and go to that location. Once there play the flute to summon Zeefzopul. After he disappears you will need to return to Grizelda, who will then ask you to complete her shopping list.
This consists of three items, though the order and contents vary (as you progress through the quest you may update this list with any new ingredients you find).
- 5 Mongbat wings.
- Can be killed in great numbers near New Haven.
- 5 Rat tails.
- Rats are often found at city docks.
- 5 Toad's legs.
- Giant Toads can be found in Britain's sewer system.
- 5 Spirit Essence.
