Walkthrough

The quest journal, step by step.

1. Start

   Kaptaru, the palace smith of Knossos, is glaring at a cracked double axe. (Requires The Envoy of Keftiu, Metalwork 60 and Warfare 55.)

2. Stage 1

   A labrys is the axe of the palace and of the goddess, and Kaptaru's keep cracking: he says the bronze is 'deaf'. A labrys must be hung between horns of consecration. He wants two horns from the wild bulls in the fields north of Knossos.

3. Stage 2

   Kaptaru has his horns. Now he wants metal worthy of the goddess: three electrum bars.

4. Stage 3

   Kaptaru forged the labrys, and it rang true. But a labrys belongs to the palace: the Minos himself must raise it between the horns. I should take it to the Minos in the east wing of the palace and use it on him.

   To do: Use Unconsecrated labrys on The MinosUpdated by talking to Kaptaru the smith
5. Stage 4

   The Minos raised the axe between the horns, and the court fell silent. I should take it back to Kaptaru.

6. Complete

   Kaptaru gave me the Labrys of the Palace, a weapon and the best axe on Keftiu, and taught me to forge electrum labryses.
