In order to start the quest, you need to make your way to the Eastern shore of Mehden Island, see the locations section below. Once you've arrived here the quest will auto-start.
Before heading in, interact with the effigy found on your left to get some dialog.
Throughout the lair you can find interactables for more lore/dialog, such as the inscription found on the wall ahead of you. None of these are required to complete the quest (though they are recommended!).
In the back-left corner of the first room you'll find a chest containing a torch, this can be equipped in your offhand.
Continuing into the cave you'll find an Effigy on your left, destroying these is crucial since it weakens the boss of the area.
At the end of the corridor kill the Cursed Anubite and loot the lever off its corpse, then interact with the lever next to it twice.
Entering the room ahead, step on the button on the left side of the corridor and then head into that room. Here you can find another effigy to burn. Afterwards head back into the corridor and step on the other button then follow that path to continue onwards.
After following the path for a while you'll run into a room with broken pottery scattered around, from hereon avoid walking on any of these.
Create a save at this point, the next room is deadly.
When entering the larger room you'll see the Kravenrook, any time its nearby stop moving else you'll be killed, likewise if you step on the pottery.
Make your way to the back left of the room and burn the effigy, afterwards follow the path at the back to continue onwards (from where you enter initially, its the back right).
In the room ahead you will find two chests, one containing Aadi's Hide and the other containing some Distilled Akkadew.
Following the path onwards you will find one final effigy above the doorway into the final room, burn this then make your way into the room ahead.
This is the final resting point before fighting the Kravenrook, with the fight ahead you can stun it by getting it to jump into the pillars scattered around the room. Slowly making your way around the pillar it is possible to continuously stun it without it getting any attacks out on you.
Its health pool will be reduced for each effigy you burnt until this point.
Lastly, loot the corpse to get the Kravenrook Head which can be used to get additional dialog in the quest Shipwrecked Anubites and then make your way out via a newly opened path in the wall. Quest complete!
