Catapult Construction
Difficulty: Intermediate
Length: Short
Quest Points: 2
Skip to:
Things are not going well for the Catapult Guard at the Tyras Camp. Already unpopular with his comrades after his security lapses, he's now neglected the catapult and allowed the damp of the forests of Isafdar to seep in and rot the frame. General Hining is furious, the replacement catapult parts haven't arrived and the rookie catapult engineer has gone missing. It's a good thing, then, that a bold adventurer with your knowledge of Construction is in the area. Of course, this will take more effort than forming furniture - catapults are complicated pieces of equipment - ensuring that this mission will mean your exertions will be mental as much as physical.

Written Walkthrough
1. Talk to the guard by the catapult just north of Tyras camp in Isafdar and say "I guess you're going to get fired then" an then "what do you suggest". Agree to talk to General Hining.
2. Go south through the dense forest and talk to General Hining. Offer to help and he gives you the engineers letter.
3. Head north through the Isafdar forest and talk to the engineer.
Say to him "the general asked me to find you" and then "I'm quite an experienced carpenter". He gives you the catapult schematics.
4. Read the schematics and then make sure you have the mahogany planks, mithril nails, hammer, knife, saw and schematics in your inventory. ONLY THEN click "make the parts"
5. Talk to the engineer again and say "can I read the letter". Read this and then make your way to Rolad the dwarf by the entrance to the dwarven mines on ice mountain. Ask Rolad for the metal parts.
6. Head to the pub in Port Sarim and talk to Thaki the delivery dwarf. Tell him you're a sailor but he wont believe you.
Go outside the pub and "search" the drunken sailor for the sailors hat.
Put this on and talk to Thaki again. He gives you the metal catapult parts.
7. Make your way back to the catapult and use the metal parts on the catapult - the guard then talks to you and you start a puzzle. Follow these pictures to repair the left and right sides of the catapult.
8. Talk to the guard again and say you're ready to test the catapult. Aim the catapult with the direction controls and change the shot distance with the counterweight to hit all 3 boulders.
9. Talk to the guard again and it's quest complete!
