Slay the witch-doctor Zulkash in his fane, deep within Splinterskull, and destroy his totem of power.

Make your way through the outer fortress once again, this time on your way to kill the witch-doctor Zulkash.

Spoiler Warning: Spoiler material below this point!

Make your way to Splinterskull's inner stronghold
(Optional) Slay 9 Glass Spiders — Bonus (10%): Heroic( ♣69 ♦122 ♥129 ♠137 )

Spawning/respawning monsters
Ability check (optional; 16 Strength required to open a door)
Locked doors (optional)
Contains the entrance to another quest (to Doom of the Witch-doctor: Zulkash, Herald of Woe)

Spike trap in the western storeroom, in the corner beyond the door; control panel is on the western wall
Electrical trap in the small room off the throne room; control panel is just inside the door on the north wall
Blade trap (on both walls) down the corridor past the second shrine; control panel is on the north wall
Spinning blade trap further down the corridor; control panel is on the south wall immediately after the blade trap

This should be familiar by now... same as before, except with glass spiders instead of hobgoblin avengers. Glass spiders can be found in the hallway after the central chamber, in the spider caves around the loop, and in the passage to the inner stronghold. Be careful fighting around the no-longer-locked door to the inner stronghold, if you're still going after bonuses; if you pass the threshold going after a glass spider, you'll complete the quest.
Once again, if you leave before completing the second (inner fortress) portion of this set, you'll have to go through this quest again. Like The Stronghold Key, this makes this quest a popular place to farm collectables, especially the valuable Lightning-Split Soarwood.
You don't receive favor until after completing the next quest.
