Same little annoying bug applies to the first quest, when you first accept it, it continues to pop up so just press esc. Also same formula applies. You attack the outcast, then attack the priestess when the outcast says "I can't take much more of this." As you continue to attack the outcast and almost kill him, he'll "choke, stun" you with a spell and a shadowy figure will appear and will threaten to kill you, quickly look behind you and you'll see a step ladder rope flying towards you. As it gets closer to you messages will appear on your screen to grab the rope. Do so of course or you'll die.

    Ahead of you looms a ramp up to one of the city's many terraces. The bat-shaped totems ahead of you indicate that this is the domain of High Priestess Jeklik, a follower of Hir'eek. Jeklik was one of the Hakkar-worshipping priests that Zanzil was planning to resurrect.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • High Priest VenoxisThe Cape of Stranglethorn · Level 10-30

    Venoxis was the second of the two priests that Zanzil planned to bring back from the dead. You have already succeeded in destroying the body of High Priestess Jeklik... Venoxis must be the next.
