Speak to the Oracle | Main Quests - Kila Risen 3 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Way to unlock the quest: Talk to Chani.
Quest giver: Chani (point 4 on the map)
You can unlock this quest during your conversation with Chani at the Forbidden Valley (point 4 on the map). It is required to be completed, if you want to complete the "The Right Place" quest, connected with fining an ideal spot to perform the spirit ritual. During the conversation with Chani, you will learn about the option to meet with the Oracle and reaching her den is the primary objective of this quest. First, reach the main entrance of the local temple located in the North-Eastern part of the valley (point 4a on the map). The entrance is being guarded by a group of Jungle Spiders, but they are not too much of a threat.
Note - before you walk into the temple, it is a good idea to get prepared a bit because, in several minutes, you will have to handle a quite difficult boss battle. Make sure that you have lots of supplies, such as healing supplies, ammo scrolls, etc.
After you enter the temple, take the first turn to the left. Kill the Jungle Spider and open the Sarcophagus, where there is a Jade Statue. Collect the statue and return to the main corridor. Keep vigilant here, because there is a strong Guardian around, among others. It is necessary that you rely on the option to hop back and consider retreating out of the temple, to ensure yourself more space.
After you eliminate the Guardian, reach the first big chamber in the temple and kill the Large Jungle Spider. If you still have not got rid of Mud (the moment at which he joins the party has been presented in the walkthrough for the "Open the Large Gate" quest) he will now leave you and start searching the temple on his own. You will receive 3 positive soul points and 400 Glory Points for bringing Mud to the temple.
In the main chamber of the temple, find the pedestal and place the jade statue, which you have just collected, on it. This will unlock a new passage so, climb to the ledge above and go ahead. Take your time, while crossing the temple, because you will soon be attacked by another Guardian, who is additionally accompanied by Black Ghouls. Eliminate all of them, try to attack them one-by-one and do not let yourself be cornered.
After you have secured the area, find another Jade Statue on the boulder, next to one of the campfires. Collect it, walk into the next chamber and, just like before, put the statue on the pedestal. Go ahead and eliminate the Rock Spider among others. After you walk into the next, bigger chamber, a fragment of the floor collapses and you will automatically start the fight with Margoloth, i.e. The Oracle.
Note - if you have the Monkey Trainer skill, along your path to the den, you can set the monkey out and reach several additional treasures, thanks to it.
First of all, several words about the battle with Margoloth. The party member will not take part in the battle. This does not mean that you cannot count on him for his backup, because you can, e.g. temporarily summon magical ally, thanks to rune magic. In order to win the fight, you need to drain Margoloth's entire health bar, on the top of the screen. It is optional to eliminate all of the other spiders, although their presence will be obstructing you, to a greater or lesser extent, from landing your attacks.
Margoloth's health bar can be drained in several ways. Using melee weapon is, definitely, the worst idea, because the Oracle will be able to block the majority of your attacks and also land her own, strong attacks, which drains your character's health.
A much better way to weaken Margoloth is to attack her at a long range. Personally, I recommend that you use the musket, which ensures you with the comfort of firing from afar. Just as well, you can use the shotgun (come closer then) or any offensive spells. In the latter case, I recommend that you use AoE spells, so you can also attack the other monsters.
As I have already mentioned, you will be (quite effectively) obstructed from attacking Margoloth by the spiders that keep incoming into the den (killing them only brings in another wave). If you want to, you can search out opportunities to smash the "harmless" spider eggs, although the bad news is that it is not as easy as it may seem.
As for the monsters that accompany Margoloth, I recommend that you only focus on the elimination of the Grave Spiders, because they pose the greatest threat. If possible, try to ignore the rest of the spiders, to avoid making the battle longer. A very good way to deal with the spiders is summon the magical ally. I recommend that you use spells of the rune magic, such as Summon Hellhound or Summon Shadow Warrior.
Continue attacking Margoloth. A very important thing is to prevent the Oracle from healing herself in any way. As soon as you notice that Margoloth is (partially) trying to heal herself, attack her with ranged weapon or spells, to prevent that. Draining Margoloth's entire health bar ends the battle and completes this quest. You can now talk to the Oracle and return to the "The Right Place" main quest.
Rewards for completing the quest:
