Thanks also go to Devalice for tips
Run for your lives...the Zombie Ogres are here for your flesh! An Ogre ceremonial dance area, used to communicate with ancient Ogrish ancestors, has been overrun with diseased undead ogres.
How could something like this have happened? And what sort of rewards could an enterprising adventurer gain from exploring the tombs of such a place? Adventurers with a good ranged level will be at an advantage.
Start Point:
West of the Ogre city and south of Castle wars arena
Talk to Grish, you can find him by rubbing Dueling Ring and heading to Castle wars, leave and go across two bridges and head south, he wants you find out why they are up out of the ground and then find a way to get them back in the ground. Talk to Ogre Guard and he will make you able to pass, climb over crushed barricade then head east. The place is crawling with lev 44 Zogres and Skogres. Climb down the stairs.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Head northwest to a blackened area, cinematic, looks like some explosion has took place. Search the broken lecturn and find a half torn page, what you can make out by reading is it is a curse. When you search the coffin it mentions a thin blade to use to open it. Use knife on it that you find in ruined pack when you kill the zombie once you search the skeleton. Then open it and you find creepy looking prism. You also get a Tankard with a dragon on it from the back pack too. Go to the inn in Yanille and use tankard on Bartender. He will mention Brentle and a wizard.
Step is Complete.

I headed to the Wizard Guild and talked to Zavistic Rarve (by the way if you are not able to go in the Magic Guild the guy appears outside by the door from seeing it happening to others). Showed him my findings and then he tells me Sithik Ints was doing some research and that he was in a guest house and sick. Go to the house north of the guild and go upstairs. Talk to him then search the cupboard, drawers, and wardrobe to get charcoal, papyrus, 3 books. Use the papyrus on Sithiks to get his portrait.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Go back to the Wizard Guild and show Zavistic some stuff. Then go to inn and show sketch to the Bartender. I had to go and redo the sketch, so I dropped that one and searched the drawer again for new papryus then took the new sketch to inn and then he signs it, then I headed to the Magic Guild. He then gives you a potion you need to give to Sithiks. Use the potion with the cup of tea, then go down the ladder then back up. Talk to him now that he is a ogre. You need to get some ogre arrows but instead of wolf bone tips use nails to make blunt arrows, and you need 2 herbs to cure the disease. One along tributaries and one in cave.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Make some Brutal Arrows by making shafts from the Achey Tree (some located around Grish), then use feathers on them then have hammer out and use nails (I used steel nails with them for steel brutals). And the cure disease potion is Snake weed (go through Brimhaven then across the channel and head south of the general store and search the marshy vines) and Rogues Purse (search fungus covered wall in jogre cave) mixed in a water filled vial. Now use the cure disease potion Relicym's Balm (3) on Uglug so he can use it to make more that you then can buy off him. This does not cure at once, each dose lessens the amount taken off from a stat until you drank enough to cure it.
Step is Complete.
( Done)
Okay once you have your brutals made (I made 77 but did not use no where near that many) talk to Grish and he will give you a Ogre Gate key to get his old things so they can make new ceremonial place. Also when talking to him he explains how to make a new improved comp ogre bow, you use knife with achey logs and wolf bones then use bow string with the unstrung comp ogre bow. (Bow String and Archey Tree Log can be bought from Uglug if needed. You can get Wolf Bones in Feldip Hills, to the south east of Grish, if needed.) Now when you have bow, arrows and key head down the stairs and go through the gate. It is west from the stairs you just came down. Go through the second door then down the stairs. You will head to the pile of skulls at the far side and search the stand and battle the 111 lev boss. Run just around the skulls to range, he will be throwing stuff at you as well but found it quite easy. Once dead pick everything up he drops. Then head back out to Grish. Give him his old things and Quest Complete!

Remember the wizard would reward you if you came back with the gem. Go back and talk to the wizard to learn how Sithik is fairing, use the gem on him and he will tell you he can give you 2k for it or go to Shilo and Yanni Salika would offer more than twice as much. Went to see Yanni and he will buy it for 5k, I decided to hold on to it for a bit for now myself.
