* 2 Demonic Skeletal Hands
* 2 Half-Eaten Brains
* 4 Blood Tincture in a Vial
* 1 Pieces of Magic Chalk

== Method ==
=== Vol.1, Ch.1: Spare Parts / Sharpen Elbows ===
Go to Drefia and visit Omrabas (down the Loose Stone Pile (Omrabas) ) and ask him for a mission.
He needs 2 Ghoul Snacks. These can be looted by killing Ghouls. A good place to find Ghouls is in Mount Sternum Undead Cave if you want to prepare beforehand, but there are a lot of them within Drefia too.
Once you have them, return to Omrabas and turn them in.
=== Vol.1, Ch.2: Idle Hands / Coming In Handy ===
Now Omrabas wants you to bring him 2 Demonic Skeletal Hands. These can be looted by killing Demon Skeletons.
Once you have them, return to Omrabas and turn them in.
=== Vol.1, Ch.3: Take Heart / Heartfelt ===
Now Omrabas wants you to bring him his heart. Go to the ruins at the northern tip of Drefia (). Levitate up and go down the stairs. Go down 2 more floors to find a teleporter.
Enter the teleporter and break all Dusty Amphoras (by using them); they will turn into The Remains of a Dusty Amphora. Repeat this until you get Omrabas' Heart. Note that only one person can enter the room, for 5 minutes it will be yours. If you are refused access, someone may already be inside (you may face a Lich).
Once you have Omrabas' Heart, go back to Omrabas to turn it in. In case you lose the heart, Omrabas will allow you to get another heart after you say lost to him. In case you just want to get another heart, remember to not have the first heart you got in your inventory while talking to Omrabas, then you will be allowed to keep it and get a second heart to proceed on the quest.
=== Vol.1, Ch.4: A No-Brainer / Brained Up / Brained Up And Ready ===
Now Omrabas wants you to bring him a Stimulated Brain.
You will need 2 Half-Eaten Brains. There are various places where you can hunt Zombies, besides Drefia the Cemetery Quarter in Yalahar is a good option.
Follow the picture below or the following steps:
# Go to the entrance to the main dungeon (), north-west of Omrabas' dungeon.
# Go 3 floors down to reach the main area.
# Go north-east to find the large hole with dead cyclopes. Walk directly north of it to find 4 sacrificial altars in pools of blood and water.
Put the two Half-Eaten Brains on the sacrificial altars and use the machine north of it. A Stimulated Brain will appear on the central altars.
Take the Stimulated Brain back to Omrabas. You will receive 2 Small Emeralds as a reward.
=== Vol.1, Ch.5: An Innard Job / Snaky Intestines ===
Omrabas wants you to bring something to use as intestines. He will give you an Empty Storage Flask to store it in.
Find a live Snake (don’t kill it!) and use the Empty Storage Flask on it. A snake spawns in Drefia, around . You can also find snakes on the mountain pass to the desert, next to the hill with a single Wyvern, .
Return to Omrabas and turn the mission in. This is the end of Volume 1.
=== Vol.2, Ch.1: Dragonic Appetites / Dragon Hallowtosis ===
Omrabas wants you to hallow the Dragonsoul Altar. To do this, you need 3 Dragon Tears.
On Drefia's surface, go down the north-eastern hole (). Follow the image below or the following directions:
# Follow the cave wall south-east until you find the stairs to a dragon graveyard (). You will know when you are at the right stairs because there is a sign which reads "Here be Dragon Bones".
# Go down and walk north-east to find a teleport.
Enter the teleport, go down and dig for the three dragon tears. You can find a Shovel in a human body in the south-east corner of the room if you forgot to bring one. The following image labels each tear location with blue.
When you dig tears you will receive various messages:
* Dragon tear #1: "You found a dragon tear. This one is warm to the touch and burns in a fiery light."
* Dragon tear #2: "You found a dragon tear. It glows in an unearthly orange light."
* Dragon tear #3: "You found a dragon tear. This one shines and shimmers as if still liquid."
Now go to the main dungeon (), down three floors, and find a hole north of the stairs you come from ().
Note: You may want to mark this hole on your map. You will be going here at least 5 times during the quest.
Open the hole with a shovel and go down. You are now in the Drefia star-shaped room. To the far east you will find two level 60 expertise doors (Medusa Shield Quest). Directly south of it is the first altar you will be hallowing (number 1 in the image below).
Find the altar, behind the dragon statues, and use the dragon tears on the east side of the altar. They will all be consumed and you will receive a message:
:"The dragon tears glow and disappear. The old powers are appeased."
Return to Omrabas and talk with him about your mission.
=== Vol.2, Ch.2: Grilled To The Marrow / Holy Smokes ===
Omrabas wants you to hallow the Bonemarrow altar. To do so, you must obtain a Yellowed Bone or Large Yellowed Bone.
You can usually find yellow bones all over Drefia. You can also get one from Omrabas, by saying problem once you have the mission. Once you have one, find the Gardens of Night. To do so follow the images below or the following steps:
# Go to the main dungeon, down 3 floors and north-east to find the cyclops pit.
# Go directly north through 2 rooms and then turn east.
# Walk east until you pass a bar, then turn north.
At the end of the Gardens of Night, find a passage through the eastern wall of the cave. You will find many hallowed stacks of bones. Use your Yellowed Bone or Large Yellowed Bone on one to receive a Hallowed Bone or a Large Hallowed Bone.
Once you have a Hallowed Bone or a Large Hallowed Bone, take it to the Bonemarrow altar in the star room, directly south of the previous altar (number 2 in the image below). Use it in the fire and you will receive the following message.
"The flames roar and eat the bone hungrily. The Dark Lord is satisfied with your gift".
Return to Omrabas and talk with him about your mission when you are finished.

Once you have 4 Blood Tinctures in Vials, go back to the star-shaped room and find the south-western altar (number 3 in the image). Use blood tincture on all 4 sacrificial stones. A message will appear:
:"You crash the vial and spill the blood tincture. This altar is anointed."
Now use the Bloodgong Statue. Musical notes will appear, and another message:
:"<BOOOOOOOONGGGGGG> A slow throbbing, like blood pulsing, runs through the floor."

# Turn west and find a south-west passage. This is the antechamber (). Go downstairs.
Find the Strange Fire to the south-east of the stairs. Use your chalk on the flames (ashes won't work). You will receive a message:
:"The flame wavers as it engulfs the chalk. Strange ashes appear beside it."
Pick up the Shadow Ashes that will lay on the fire.
Now go to the star-shaped room once again. This time, go to the north-western altar (Number 4) and use the ashes on both Sacrificial Stones. A message will appear:
:"The ashes swirl with a life of their own, mixing with the sparks of the altar."
Now return to Omrabas.

Talk to Oblivion and ask him about a scroll. He will send you into the Vampire Crypts to find three graves.
Head to the Vampire Crypts the same way you went to fill the blood vial in the last mission, except head north to reach the stairs down to the second floor. Warning: There is a possibility that you will face Arachir the Ancient One or Gravelord Oshuran on the way to these stairs!
Next you will have to find the three graves which have the answers to Oblivion's questions. In here you will face Vampires, Banshees, Vampire Viscounts, Vampire Brides and Gravediggers. The graves are represented by the green check marks on the map below:
Read each of the graves by using the gravestone. Once you have read all three, return to Oblivion and answer the questions. The answers, in order, are:

Start with this one and follow the path to the north to find all 5:
You must use the Flute Made of a Single Bone on each of the five Strange Shrines. On each use it might say "That didn't come out right. You should try again." If this happens use the Flute Made of a Single Bone again. Continue until you have successfully played for each shrine. (Note: You may want to use the Flute Made of a Single Bone on each one again just to make sure you finished. If you 
played for a shrine already it will say "You already played for this shrine.")
Once you finished this, go back to Elyen Ravenlock and report your success. She will take the Flute Made of a Single Bone back and grant you access over the tiles just east of her. In the Chest of Drawers (Quest) immediately past the tiles you will find an Incantation Fragment. Report back to Omrabas.
