+20 Dry Steppes Renown

First things first, clear The Onyx Watchtower Stronghold in the Dry Steppes to find this Side Quest to the west of the area. In the west is Nizaar who was captured by the bandits, and he asks you to find the key to free him.

From the Stronghold, follow the path south into the center of the large blue circle where you’ll find the bandits Nizaar was talking about. Defeat them, and one of them should drop the Gibbet Key. Pick up the key and make your way back to Nizaar in the Stronghold.

After you unlock the cage, Nizaar will ask for a healing potion to heal his wounds, then he’ll need a weapon to act upon his vengeance on Borza, the man who put him and his people here. This will give you four options to choose from: A Sword and Shield, a Bow, a Mace, and a Greatsword. It doesn’t matter too much what you pick here, but he prefers either the Mace or the Sword and Shield. If you want to make your life easier, choose the other two weapons…for reasons. Either way, select a weapon for Nizaar, and head to Borza’s Hideout which is situated southwest of the Stronghold.

Borza’s Hideout is a side quest dungeon where you’ll need to find him. At the first intersection, follow the path north until it dips to the south which is where you’ll find your target. After Nizaar has a quick conversation with Borza, it appears you’ve been duped, and he’s with Borza. You know what to do to traitors, so do it!

This is a relatively easy battle, Borza is the main threat while the guards and Nizaar shouldn’t last too long. The main threat Borza has is his slam attack which will stun you for a few seconds, so make sure you dodge out of the way when he lifts his mace. Other than that, he is Poison Enchanted and may leave behind some poison puddles on the floor.

When they’re all defeated, the quest will immediately finish, and you’ll get your reward.

• I’ve found a prisoner of the bandits held in the Onyx Watchtower. He has asked me to retrieve the key to unlock his gibbet from the bandits outside.

• I’ve freed Nizaar, but it looks as if the time in that gibbet has not been kind to him.

• He asked me to give him a healing potion for his wounds.

• Nizaar wants vengeance on Borza, the man who put him in the gibbet. First however, he needs a weapon to fight with.

• Nizaar and I now head for Borza’s Hideout to confront the man who imprisoned him.

You can find this Side Quest in the Valley of the Strayed, in the Untamed Scarps region of the Dry Steppes. After you speak to Orgai, he’ll ask you to obtain three bone dust from the nearby skeletons. This is a random drop, so keep killing them until you obtain all three dusts. Once you have the dust, head back to Ogai and give him them.

After a hearty sneeze, Ogai will make an Ancient Inscription appear on the pillar behind him. Examine the pillar to read the inscription then talk to Ogai one last time to complete the quest. This will lead to the follow-up quest Hubris Smiles Back.

• Ogai, an eccentric hermit, is attempting to commune with “The Grinning One” -an ancient entity once worshiped in the Steppes. He has asked for my aid in acquiring bone dust from the ancient dead to offer him answers, believing he can speak with them.

• Ogai inhaled the bone dust I collected and went into a trance. His words were broken and confused, but not without fortune. A hidden inscription was revealed by his rantings, and a hearty sneeze. Strange as this is, perhaps there’s something to his delusions.

You can find this Side Quest in Jirandai in the Untamed Scarps region of the Dry Steppes. Head across the Zip Line to the eastern part of town where you’ll find Sorga. Speak to her to find out that her son was mutilated by spiders in the Blistered Barrens. Naturally, she wants revenge and has asked you to exterminate the Spider Queen in an act of vengeance.

Take the northeastern exit, head all the way northeast and kill a bunch of spiders until you fill-up the red bar. This will draw out the Spider Queen who can be found just south of the Ancient’s Lament dungeon.

Fortunately, the Spider Queen is an elite enemy and not the terrifying Broodmother Boss, so it shouldn’t cause you too many problems. It has the Summoner, Poison Enchanted, and Plaguebearer modifiers, so focus all your wrath onto the Spider Queen itself, and not the adds it summons. Other than that, stay out of the poison pools, and you should be fine. Once it’s been defeated, pick up its heart, and head back to Sorga in Jirandai to complete the quest.

• A grieving mother seeks revenger for her son. He was mutilated by spiders in the Blistered Barrens. I’ve been hired to exterminate the vermin to draw out the Spider Queen.

• The blood of her slain children has drawn out the Spider Queen. Sorga tasked me with slaying her and retrieving her heart.

Crane Tribe is losing ground in their homeland from constant cannibal attacks. Ealda, the tribe’s Chieftain, has asked that I look for some of their missing kin who disappeared in the Field of Broken Spears. They are seasoned warriors, and she does not believe they would fall to the cannibals so easily.

I found the mutilated remains of a Crane Tribe warrior and an extinguished campfire. I should check their body to see if I can figure out what happened here.

I was attacked by bloodthirsty Crane Tribe warriors when I investigated their abandoned camp. It looks like they turned to cannibalism, consuming their kin.

Teleport to Jirandai, and head towards the Blacksmith in the southwest to find Ordun and speak to him. Although he’s not happy that his father is sending strangers to check up on him, he’ll tell you where his younger brother Khada is, and that you should check up on him too.

Exit Jirandai from the northeast, and make your way north into the Untamed Scarps. The caravan will be in the central north, but it appears the caravan has been abandoned, and what’s worse is, there is lots of blood around it. It’s not looking good for Khada.

Follow the blood trail north where you’ll find numerous cannibals, defeat them and check around the area to find a small bone wall. Just beneath it, you’ll find the corpse of Khada, RIP. Unfortunately, you’ll need to teleport back to Jirandai to tell Ordun the terrible news. After speaking to him, the quest will end, at least you didn’t have to tell the father too.

• A jar-seller in Ked Bardu has asked me to check in on his sons who left to open a shop in Jirandai.

• The jar-seller’s son Ordun seems upset that his father sent me, but begrudgingly told me where his younger brother Khada is. I should also check up on him.

Teleport back to Ked Bardu, and head back to Gerti where you’ll find out he needs some material to reforge the Great Axe. First up is a horn from an Oppressor which can be found in the Khargai Crags. Run around the area, fighting Oppressors until you get one of their horns to drop. When you get one, the quest will update, and you’ll need to gather Silver Quartz from an Infected Delve.

Teleport back to Ked Bardu, leave via the eastern exit, and traverse the Kotama Grasslands northeast until you reach the Infected Delve side dungeon. You can find the Silver Quartz in any Ore deposit inside the dungeon, and there are plenty of Ore’s to find in there. Once you have the required amount of Silver Quartz, teleport back to Ked Bardu to hand in the materials which will complete the quest, and yes, you will get the Axe as a reward!

• The Great Axe of Raekor has been stolen from the Oxen Tribe.

• The forgemaster, Gerti, suspects agents of the Triune are to blame. She’s asked me to seek them out at the southern tip of the Scarred Coast and recover the storied weapon.

You must first complete the Augury of Bones Side Quest picked up in the same location in the Untamed Scarps of the Dry Steppes. Once you’ve finished that, the quest will automatically start, and you’ll need to head to the Shrine in the north. This is right next to the Grinning Labyrinth dungeon.

Once you’ve spoken to him, you’ll need to enter said dungeon to obtain five Baneful Oblations. These only drop from the Fallen enemies inside, but once you have them, you can leave the dungeon, it doesn’t need to be completed.

When you’re back to the surface, place the five offerings on the five Ritual Stones around Ogai, and speak to him. After a short conversation, Ogai gets his audience with the Grinning One who leaves him as a corpse with his jaw ripped open revealing a horrid smile. This will complete the quest, and give you your rewards.

Head into the nearby large room where you’ll find Lakren, and he’ll tell you that your sacrifice will begin the rebuilding of the world. Before you know it, he’ll attack you, but will only take a few hits before he runs to the Gospel near the altar.

This summons a Tainted Vile Overseer Elite with the Plaguebearer modifier. Like Lakren, this shouldn’t cause you too many problems. Once defeated, head over to the Gospel and interact with it. Reading it will complete the quest.

• A builder named Lakren has put out a call for workers to find him in Alzuuda if they wish to help “rebuild Sanctuary.”

Qara Yisu is a Stronghold, so you may want to complete that first to make things a little easier, but you don’t have to. Either way, enter the ruins from the west, and at the first intersection head south, and then west at the next intersection. Here, you’ll find Tuji, and the thief, Gan’s corpses.

Retrieve Tuji’s corpse and head back to Jargal to tell him the bad news. This will complete the quest.

Andreea flew into a terrified rage when I showed her the ledger. I was forced to defend myself, but when she fell, her body was consumed in hellfire! This book is clearly more than it appears.

Andreea mentioned finding the book in Ked Bardu. Someone there must know more.

I should ask around Ked Bardu to see if anyone recognizes this ledger.

Apparently a man named Lyruk found this ledger while on an archaeological dig. Worryingly, his name is also the next entry in the book. I should find him and see what he knows.

Lyruk has begged me to burn the book in his campfire. It must be destroyed before it can cause more chaos.

The ledger refused the flames, and instead exploded in demonic magic! Perhaps Lyruk has another idea to destroy this cursed book.

Lyruk wants to attempt to summon the demonic owner of the ledger. It is an extremely dangerous plan, but the only one we have.

It turns out Ulagan never knew the exact location of his Uncle’s heirloom, so we need to search the ruins of his family’s old home to see if we can find it.

Our search didn’t unearth anything resembling Ulagan’s Uncle’s Ring in the ruins. I should check in with Ulagan, so we can discuss next steps.

A bandit named Orsolya seems to have beat us to Ulagan’s Uncle’s Ring. I will need to defeat her to recover it.

I recovered Ulagan’s Uncle’s Ring from the bandit, Orsolya, who had taken it. I should give the Ring to Ulagan.

Turns out the value of Ulagan’s Uncle’s Ring came from the personal meaning it held for Ulagan’s Uncle and his wife. Having learned it holds no “real” value, Ulagan no longer wants it.

He gave it to me and suggested I take it to Rakhaan, a Curio Collector in The Boiling Plains.

She wants to retrieve the bracelets of her siblings, Dawa and Naraa, and give them proper rites of passing. I’m likely to find them among the Charred Remains along the mountain.

I retrieved Dawa and Naraa’s carved bracelets. I should return to Nekhii so she can give them proper rest.

I found Nekhii’s remains floating in the sulfur pools. Something drove her to enter the water, but there is no sign of a skirmish.

She left a letter by the pool’s edge. Perhaps it will bring answers.

Nekhii’s letter offered her confession. She assisted the Triune when she and her siblings were desperate, not anticipating the price of their aid.

Nekhii has already gone to join her ancestors. She’s asked that I offer Dawa and Naraa’s bracelets to the pool so they may be united again.

I found a letter detailing the Triune’s efforts to recruit followers amongst the bandits of the Onyx Watchtower. I should find these cultists and put a stop to their plans.

I found the cultists dead in the bandit camp. I should check their bodies to see what happened.

The bodies indicate they were killed by the bandits they tried to convert. A blood trail leading away may indicate a survivor.
