- Start and meet Jex. Talk to the High Priest in the Great Temple in Sophanem, then find Jex in the temple in the north-eastern corner.

- Kaleef and Maisa. Search Kaleef's corpse for his notes, then speak to Maisa across the chasm and prove you rescued Prince Ali by naming Draynor Village and Leela.
- Recruit Osman. Travel to Al Kharid and convince Osman to meet Maisa by suggesting it could divide the Menaphite cities, then return to Sophanem.
- Defeat the Giant Scarab. Re-enter the dungeon and kill the level 191 Giant Scarab and the Locust riders and Scarab mages it summons. Magic safespots make the fight much easier.
- Finish up. Take the Keris dagger and return to the High Priest in Sophanem.
