How to get to the quest place (El Nath Dungeon) Time needed: 1 hour or less
You can skip the below if you have the item “Return Scroll to Dead Mine” which costs about 200k at Free Market.
Walk right of El Nath town. Soon, you will see Yetis, especially the big ones. Look out for a map with crossroads as you move along. Take the top portal at the crossroads. Soon after you continue walking more, you will come to a map that has a dead end. Talk to the NPC at the top, and he'll allow you into the dungeon. Prepare to face tons of wolves and werewolves.
For Thieves use Dark Sight, Magicians use Magic Guard, as for other jobs, just run for it and pray that you don’t get hit. You may be damaged with 1000 damage. You will come to the zombies. Walk right and right and right until it appears to be a dead end. Go into the hole at the right and you’ll end up at Dead Mine. Walk down to get to the map the passage and fall down. Detour around the Bains using ropes and keep moving right. Then, you will reach the map The Door to Zakum.
Congratulations! You have made it.

This is a jump quest. It is very hard and has 2 stages. If you quit or get disconnected while in the jump quest, you have to start from the beginning (You’ll be teleported to the map “The door to Zakum”).
There is no guide, but here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q10m7voFrg
P.S The very hard part is at 1 min 04 sec onwards. Try jumping when the ball shoots at you and hold up to be "hit back to the rope", however if you time wrongly you will go straight down. Hurray
Items gained

• The Breath of lava and some exp by talking to an npc at the end

END OF STAGE 2

1. Adobis will now ask you for 30 gold tooths. Get these from hunting the Minor Zombies (the ones with hats) at Dead Mine. Change channel at “the door to zakum” and you’ll end up at “The Passage”. Change channel again and you’ll end up at "Forest of Dead Trees 4". Walk right and go into the hole to hunt. The teeth are yellow in colour by the way, not white.
2. Head back to Adobis, refine your 3 items from the 3 stages, and you’ll gain 5 eye of fire.
3. Now you can summon Zakum 5 times.
