	SPOILER ALERT!
	This article reveals in-game secrets, spoilers, walkthroughs, or other information not intended for general knowledge in-game.

Things You Will Need & Where

• a woodcutter's hatchet - You can get these from Grek's Food and Supplies in Kaerna's Village for 500 Kronars.
• a Kort potion - You will have to find your own way to get this.
• a sanrisi tree branch - You will get one of these during the quest.
• a dark talisman - You will get one of these during the quest.
• a carving knife - Novices can get one of these from the kitchen in the Tenderfoot Inn's Kitchen. The Inn is located in Jadewater Mansion. Once in the kitchen nod at the Cook and read or SKIP what he has to say then ACCEPT the carving knife when he offers it to you. Then you can leave or continue to read what he has to say. You can also purchase one at Tobb's Smithy in Knife Clan for 375 Kronars.

Ghouls and madmen near Dirge also carry carving knives.

Obtaining the Sanrisi Tree Branch

You will have to find a sanrisi tree, you can find one on the pathway to Dirge or you can find one near the death spirits in Leth Deriel's Forest of Night. When you find one you will have to LOOK tree.

The sanrisi trees read:

"A woodsman's skill will release the fruit. To take the fruit would be

to cut ones arm away. From the souls nearby the water drinks. Immersed in liquid, it walks

the first step. From death it lives. Raised earth seeks the offering. Coins of gold, lined 50

in a row, bring forth red as blood."

With your woodcutter's hatchet in your right hand and nothing in your left, CUT SANRISI TREE WITH MY HATCHET until a branch falls from it. GET BRANCH.

Creating the Talisman

1. With the branch in your left hand and a carving knife in your right, CARVE MY BRANCH until it becomes a dark talisman.
2. At this point you will need to find a pool of holy water like the one in Riverhaven's Temple, once you find one, with your talisman in your right hand and nothing in your left, DIP MY TALISMAN IN WATER.
3. Now head back to Crossing and out the West Gate until you find a small mound. With your talisman in your right hand and Kort potion in your left. OFFER POTION TO MOUND. If you did everything right so far then you should see a message appear.

As you place the Kort potion on the mound you notice the earth below begin to pulsate as if something underneath was trying to get out. Suddenly you notice a small hole appear in the mound. You feel the urge to run but are transfixed by the events occuring. A red light arcs from the hole to the talisman that you're holding.

Moments later you shake your head and stare at the mound in wonder while feeling pleased with yourself for some reason. The Kort potion and the hole have both disappeared. You also notice that you are kneeling for some unexplained reason.

Carving the Talisman

Steps to Carving Properly

1. With your talisman in your right hand and nothing in your left. RUB MY TALISMAN until it is attuned to you.
2. Then with your carving knife in your right hand and your talisman in your left hand. CARVE MY TALISMAN until you are bringing out the 'fine details'.
3. You now have a completed a Dark Familiar talisman!

Notes

You can rub and carve the talisman to the 'fine details' point before you offer the potion. This is a good way to try out several talismans and choose the familiar you want. It is random which talisman will be which familiar, but you can simply choose which one you will use with the potion offering.
