Walkthrough:
The mayor wants you to try for peace with the asabiats. You can go to the great desert map which has the northern bridge (west of the great wastes map) and exit to the asabiat village. Once there you can sneak along the west part of the map until a stairway in the back which leads to the asabiat sub chiefs room. When you enter be sure to take off your weapon, as if you enter with it equipped the asabiats will still be your enemy.
When they are your ally talk to the sub chief and if you can’t persuade him he’ll ask you to find a gorgon and slay it. Here’s an important part…you have to find it. It can be in quite a few maps between After the portal to the east and north of harata outskirts with a group of aqua-asabiats. There are specific spots it likes to spawn and some are hidden away so you won’t find it if you don’t look sometimes. One of the maps is great desert south which is south of the village. It can also be on the map north of outskirts of tamehew where you can speak to someone for another quest, but it is on the side hiding near a tower.
Whenever you find it and can slay it you go back to the sub chief without your weapon, and tell him. He allows you to talk to chief and when you do chief refuses peace. Then you have to slay him. He has a shaman so try to slay him first, then the chief is somewhat easier to deal with. Drone widget might help if you have it.
Once that’s done go to the sub chief and tell him and he agrees to peace, then go back to the mayor to complete. Once you go back to the mayor the asabiats will become unallied after a server reset, or if you talk to the mayor again.
If you keep the quest without speaking to mayor they will still be allied and you can cross the desert more easily. This is if you have completed Search for the Hetepka which also gives you west gate access.
Comments & Tips:
Remember when getting there after the bridge you can go along the west side and have to fight only a few guards and maybe a shaman, instead of the entire group.
The true problem of the gorgon quest is finding the gorgon. Because of this if you have a party that includes clerics, wizards, sorcerers, or paladins (and have at least one open lock with thieves tools from the harata market) then the other access quest Search for the Hetepka can be much easier. Finding the gorgon can be easy if your party has spotted it or you stumble upon it while farming, or it can take a while.
When checking for the gorgon, remember it can be north of outskirts of tamehew and north of harata outskirts, but don’t go any further along that way because there is a larger group of aqua-asabiats which are unallied.
You can rest above the chiefs room – might want to close the door to sub chiefs room – before you enter to fight him.
