Crocodile Tears

Crocodile Tears is a quest released on 5 June 2017, along with the city of Menaphos.

Visiting Senliten
Talk to Senliten in Senliten's tomb south of Uzer and north of Nardah. Ask her about the Crocodile Tears quest and the minor god Crondis. She will redirect you to Jex and the Sphinx in Sophanem for further information on the minor god. Jex can be found just inside of Sophanem near the gate (and the building leading to the bank under Sophanem). Go through all dialogue. To get any information out of the Sphinx, be sure to have your cat following you.

Go back to Senliten's tomb and talk to Senliten. You have to restore the modesty of the crocodiles and should therefore locate Crondis and resolve whatever the problem may be. Taking a relic given to Senliten (by Crondis) might help, as it helped her find water in the desert when she needed it.

Finding water
The relic can be obtained by exiting the temple and re-entering it to explore the temple. After entering the temple, head north and loot the stone ship for the relic.

Using the relic is like doing a compass clue from treasure trails. Just go in the direction the arrow is pointing until you get a chat message. After failing to locate Crondis thrice, you have to return to Senliten. There is currently a bug where the arrow to locate Crondis will not show, switching clients will show the arrow spinning then it will disappear.
 * It will first point you towards the oasis just north-west of the temple, upon which you make the remark that this is not where Crondis can be found.
 * The second oasis is located on the island with Camel warriors, just east of Sophanem.
 * The third is in the Bedabin camp, north of the Bandit Camp lodestone.

Attuning to Crondis
At Senliten's tomb, she realises that the rod relic has to be attuned to Crondis before it can locate her. For this, you have to go to the Elid elementals at the source of the Elid. The relic will grant you access to the dwelling, you will recall that you are going to need some rope. Teleport to Dominion Tower.

Climb the waterfall on the northern side of Dominion Tower, and go north to the Elid elementals. Talk through the dialogue and you find your rod relic charged and able to locate Crondis. This will point you towards the south-west of the Port district of Menaphos. Talk to portmaster Kags and let him ship you to the Crondis pyramid. Enter the pyramid.

In the presence of a goddess
You are now in the graceful presence of Crondis, a crocodile goddess. Talk to the high priest and you are quick to grasp that the high priest noticed a change in his god's behaviour. Crondis insists that hungry crocodiles are nothing new but that she would fancy a snack, whether it be human or not.

From now on, all items have to be obtained after being requested to get them. If you acquired some items in advance, the god will not accept them, and you have to get them over. The priest suggests you get some fresh beltfish, which can be caught at the Port district of Menaphos. Return to Crondis, then cut 2 acadia logs. Return with these, then complete four laps of the Agility Pyramid to obtain four pyramid tops.

Return with the pyramid tops, then hunt for 8 plover birds in Sophanem, south of the church.

Transport 16 croc ice from Nardah to Crondis by foot. You will automatically consume some on the way even if you are protected from the desert heat. You can use the magic carpets to get to Menaphos faster, but be warned that using the lodestone network will turn your croc ices into useless chocolatey goop. The same thing will happen if you log out or your client crashes.

Multiple trips can be done. If you go below 16 (e.g. 14 or 12), you can get more to fulfil the requirement.

Crondis will then request for 32 croc ice, but you will refuse.

Fighting crocs
You will then fight Ukunduka with 75,000 life points that uses both melee and ranged combat styles. You can stand next to the stairs to trap the crocodile. Then it will only attack with ranged. It devours food from your inventory from time to time.

After defeating the crocodile spawn, speak with the High-Priest, and return to Senliten.

Finally, speak with Senliten.

Before you speak with her, you will come upon a cutscene where Osman and Leela are arguing about who has the better plan to free the people of Menaphos.

After you speak with her, you will witness another cutscene, this time a conversation between Jabari and the Pharaoh, with Jabari informing him that Crondis has been freed from his mistress' curse, and they must find a new way to keep the citizens afraid. There is also talk of destroying the Desert Pantheon, and "making way for the new".

Congratulations, quest complete.
