I have camped this area time and time again and have never seen this MOB. I have killed the Thik bone several times the fingered but not this chump. Is he a timed spawn? Been looking for him but no joy.

It's eazy to get the cook to spawn, just have to keep the hall way cleared, even the Furbies at the end of hall past the 3 rooms, The Finger Skeleton always seemed to spawn B4 the cook room would spawn, so keep a eye out for the Finger Skeleton.

Hollow skull quest
# Aug 16 2001 at 3:22 AM Rating: Default
I've killed the cook about 20 times and it always drops the hollow skull but sofar no glowing skull or head or whatever.
I also got the 2 different lore gems from the thickboned skeletons and from the forager I got the tongue and TWO no drop lore dusty sealed canopic jars which means I guess u can only see the difference with an identify.
I am almost sure u need to get the 2 eyes out of the 2 jars and add the tongue and "glowing skull"
if that dont work i always got the 2 gems to try but i cant get that "glowing skull" anyone who got it can give some info bout how it looks like and how it is named? It must be pretty rare since I didnt get it 20 times... or is it the glowing skull from a common skeleton like mentioned earlier.. ah well maybe i try get the eyes out first and find out.
I sure hope its not a broken quest.
PS: the shield from the cook seems to be 1/4 to 1/5 drop indeed but wouldnt camp the cook for it hehe even when lvl 20.. I let them rot if noone in the tower wants it way too heavy for a monk :)

Okay, hollow skull quest:

1) Everyone seems pretty happy with saying the tongue from the Burynai Forager is one of the items.

2) The gems (sapphire and emerald) are unrelated, but the "sealed canopic jars" sound promising. "Take them to a guy in the Overthere's evil outpost, can't remember his name, belive he said he was one of the skellys working on the ship on the shore. But you give him the two jars, and he opens them, and gives you the two eyes." Hopefully if you're an Iksar, you know a Dark Elf, because you'll be KoS until level 50 or so.

3) add the "glowing mask" from the skeletal cook, and see what happens.

If anyone solves it, please lemme know: limbodog99@aol.com

You camp the skeletal cook in Kurn's basement for hours. If you're lucky, he drops it. Seems like 1/5 times he has it.

OK let me solve the mystery.. it is for the Monks quest.. what you do it take the 4 fingers that you need from the Fingered skellys and combine them.. it will give you another of Talons fists..
neato eh?
RE: Hollow Skull
# Jun 23 2001 at 4:30 AM Rating: Good
Tis not for a monk quest, the container that you combine the 4 fingers in is droped off of a sarnak couriour in the Lake of Ill Omen.

This conainer is for a quest that has yet to be documented as completed, in it you combine..

1 A Glowing mask, rare drop off of the skeleton cook, i have yet to see this item.

2 a dried tongue, off of the Burynai Forager

3 and 4, also off of the burynai Forager drops a dusty sealed canopic, you take this to Vox Nir in the OT outpost, give it to him and he opens it up and gives you the eye that was inside...I have had one Jar, and done this, and now have one of the two eyes needed, from what i can gather, you would just have to do this twice, because the jar is lore, unless there are two diff jars, which i have yet to see.

Combine them, and see what you get...

OK. Yes there are 2 jars. Cant remember the name of other. Got both jars when Kunark 1st came out along with tongue. Kept for the longest time but could not figure out how to open them. Now I know and donot have the jars. "sigh"

# Jul 05 2001 at 2:17 AM Rating: Default
Gotta love the people trying to sound smart!!! The container that you combine the 4 fingers in is NOT dropped by anything, you have to talk to the dancing skeleton that the Great Oowomp summons in timerous. The sarnak courier drops one of the fists, the skeleton gives you the one that you need to combine the fingers for, and then you have to get 4 items from the Cabilis area to give to the Iksar Master in timerous for the 3rd fist. Oh, and have fun with the great oowomp, he's KoS so make sure you sneak behind him, give him 5gp, then RUN pretty far from the spawn and feign death, then hurry back and talk to the skel to get the fist...Turn in those 3 fists and you get the shackle of rock

The Great Oowomp is not KOS, he's indifferent. He once was KOS, but people complained about a quest NPC being KOS to the people that need him for the quest, so they changed that a while back. The change was not really necessary as he's for the monk quest, and you could always sneak the gold to him to get the dancing skeleton.

However, he will come to the aid of any of the other Ogres there, so if any of them agro on you, he'll jump in.

Ok, been runnin around kurn for a few days now, best place to collect a TON of bone chips for faction. Figured what the hey, ill camp the jester, and run around the area he spawns in killing every skelly i see. Well, i wasn't there very long, when low and behold, there was an undead jester, so, i beat him down, no club, just a fs two hander, and a note, read the note, can't remember exact words, something about a guy who's layed to rest in the tower, and his head is missing, he needs his eyes, and his tongue, and his skull will glow again.

I /ooc'd my find, no one knew anything about it, but not to long later, i was told of a "hollow skull" container, it was no drop, and dude didn't want it, so, it was mine =)

I grew more interested in this quest, so, that night at work (which is where i am now, hehe, what else is there to do at work other than reaserch eq? hehe) i looked high and low on the net for this quest, i cannot remember which thread i found this in for the life of me, but i came accross a post, saying that you take the two "sealed canopic jars" to a guy in the Overthere's evil outpost, can't remember his name, belive he said he was one of the skellys working on the ship on the shore. But you give him the two jars, and he opens them, and gives you the two eyes.

Then in the hollow skull, you combine the two eyes, the tongue, and a "glowing mask" rare drop off of the skelleton cook, to get a Glowing Bone Helm, AC 18, +7 wis, +7 int, SV magic +10, and OMG if this is correct, i sure the hell hope its not no drop ! hehe, other wise i guess ill be the envy of casters =)

The gems that drop are for the Iksar warrior pike quest series. They are the memory of Sebilis. Once more we find ourselves wracking our brains over a broken quest (

About the hollow skull, I've got one yes and the gems are NOT what you put in it, they Identify as the Pools of Sebilis (Sapphire) and the Gardens of Sebilis (Emerald). However, one of the canopic jars I looted recently from the burynai forager Identifys as the Right Eye of Torture, and the tongue off the forager is the Tongue of Torture, wow, imagine that. For now it seems to be broke because the jars are too large to fit in the skull. And as for having to put 4 items in, I don't think so, unless there is a moldy snotrag or was a finger up his nose =) And I doubt they'd make a 3 slot container just for this

I also recently found this note and am trying to find those very same items to try and combine in the skull. its not a quest that is mentioned anywhere but in this tread, and I wouldnt say it was a broken quest... you dont know that for sure, unless you tried to solve it? dont assume

The items I believe you must place in the hollow skull are.. Emerald - LORE ITEM and Sapphire - LORE ITEM(both drop off fingered/cook/thickbones)
The tongue and the enzymes container that both drop from the buynai forager. I havent got those items yet, the gems are easy to get, the forager seems to be as rare and the damn jester... Im kickin myself too cuz I destroyed all these items before, not caring bout anything cept getting the club. Drueric the Mage, Saryrn server.

When I killed the Jester he had a note on him that said something about putting the head back together with the eyes (the gems that drop off of the thick-bone and the fingered skeletons) the tongue (Forager drops a tongue) and some honey meat jelly (also dropped off of Forager)... has anyone ever tried to combine anything in this container to see what happens??

RE: Where does this guy spawn?
# Feb 05 2001 at 5:21 PM Rating: Decent
head into the basment towards the jester's spawn area. at the bottom of the stairs on the jester floor, go straight ahead through a little hallway that splits off to the right (to the jester) and to the left (to the fingered and cook). As soon as you take the left there will be 3 rooms. the first room is a great place to heal n med. the room in the middle is where the cook spawns. he might have 2 other mobs in the same room with him more often than not. the aproximate location is: neg:40, pos:90

I have killed this guy several times while i was wondering around looking for the Thickboned Skeleton.

I don't think so.

You'd get swamped by random MoB's walkin by while you struggle with one of the Burynai sappers or something.

By now, though, you're probably level enough to handle it. I'd wait until your group is at least 13-16
RE: help
# Jul 17 2001 at 10:08 AM Rating: Default
The cook is about level 20 so it would be rather difficult but the really hard apart is that in between the zone entrance and the cook there are about 50 skelotons of all types and a ton of burnyai at your level i believe the burynai will agro you. So you would have to hunt your way through them and be very carefull while you camp the cook because there are always skels and burynai spawning in the area about every 20 min

I dont know what the skull is for either, but he drops it everytime. Its a container of somesort, and is no drop. the shield is a rare drop and the cook himself is a uncommon spawn.

doh, just read on another thread 4th item is enzymes container, also from burynai forager
only item i dont have yet, no idea what you get when you combine, hope it's good!
RE: Hollow Skull

The enzymes container will not fit into the skull, tried last night. Anyone else know the 4 items needed to complete the skull?
RE: Hollow Skull
# Mar 28 2001 at 9:13 PM Rating: Default
I think this relates to the note the jester drops, you need to combine the 2 lore gems that drop in this corridor (think they came from thick boned skelly) and the tounge from the rare burynai spawn (same corridor), can't figure a 4th item to put in though.
note says the cook's corpse is here and head used to glow, but now head is empty and is missing two eyes and tounge to taste the honey of life (or something close, dont remember exactly). Looked everywhere I could think of for more info, everything for this quest seems to drop in this corridor, anyone have any ideas?
RE: Hollow Skull
# Jun 27 2001 at 12:51 AM Rating: Decent
It may be that there are only infact 3 items to place in here, being as all containers have to have an even number of slots. Just my 2cp
