Farmer Idamon must figure out what went wrong with his newest breed of chickens. Idamon requires eggs from these mutated Giant Chickens to figure out what went wrong with the process. Idamon would also like you to try and cull the flock while you're at it, as he's heard that the creatures have been attacking travelers.


Quest text[edit]

Those chickens don't belong to me! You can't prove anything!

Don't play dumb with me <Adventurer School>, Master Idamon was not born yesterday! I know you're from Sslanis, and I know you've come to haul me away. Or to banish me from this land, and for what? For simply following my dream!

You aren't from Sslanis then? Forgive me. I've been expecting a pack of those disgusting lizards up here any day now... Has me quite on edge it does. It seems like only yesterday I was banished to this awful place. Why was I banished you ask? For trying to feed all of Istaria... What an age we live in when heroes such as I are so punished!

Yes. It's my ultimate dream, and you can help me! You see, during my experiment... err... my breeding, I discovered a way to breed chickens of a most abnormal and wondrous size! I was sure my dreams had finally come true...

But it wasn't to be! As the chickens grew they became horribly violent, and worse, carnivorous! So I had to turn them loose. Yes, I'm sure some would condemn me for that... but I just didn't have the heart to kill such wonderful creatures. Now I've heard tell that they've migrated down the road, towards Sslanis... It's only a matter of time until those ugly lizards find out I'm responsible and hang me from the highest tree in the jungle...


Talk to "Farmer" Idamon.

Oh Gifted One... You are right, the menace must end. These Giant Chickens must die! But take solace, for from death, will come re-birth! This is what you must do: Locate the Giant Chickens and slay fifteen of the monstrous foul. Remove any eggs you find on their bodies, and bring them to me. I require at least fifteen of the eggs, for I must replace what you kill. The breeding must continue! Off with you now, and do not return until you have completed this task.


Kill at least (15) Giant Chickens near Sslanis.

Game Feedback: You have successfully killed fifteen Giant Chickens!


Loot at least (15) chicken eggs.

Game Feedback: You have successfully collected fifteen chicken eggs.


Return to "Farmer" Idamon and give him the (15) chicken eggs.

Oh my poor chickens... You'd better have been gentle with them <Adventurer School>, they didn't deserve such an awful fate. Why are you looking at me so expectantly? Isn't helping all of Istaria reward enough for your actions?


Intimidate "Farmer" Idamon.

Oh I see it now... If I don't part with a few coins you'll tell the lizards everything?! Well... I suppose you have me at a disadvantage. Fine, take this and get out of my sight. But not for too long now Gifted One... I may have need of your services again... Soon...
