Before you start
- Progress Icthlarin's Little Helper far enough to enter The Burning Spire.
- Carry three raw beltfish, one cactus steak, heat protection, healing and combat gear.
1. Find Zi and bring food
- Find KotHaar-Zi on the L-shaped island southeast of the Sunken Pyramid in The Burning Spire.
- Bring three raw beltfish and one cactus steak back to Zi. Check the active journal before seeking the pedestals.
2. Touch all four fire pedestals
- Sweep the black fire-topped pedestals around the pyramid: east on a large rock, north behind Zi, west, and southwest of Zi.
- Touch each pedestal, then return to Zi to advance the quest.
3. Pass the bouncer and fight
- Go to the Cave of Screams west of the Sunken Pyramid. Speak to the KotHaar Bouncer, inspect the numbering scroll in quest inventory, and select the symbol answer described as two triangles separated by a line.
- Heal before entering. Defeat the reforged Zi and two KotHaar-Xil in the cave, then collect Zi's core from the floor.
4. Claim the reward outside
- Exit and speak to the bouncer again. The reward is a plate of pure obsidian, which unlocks the obsidian cape recipe.
