Rancher Elden complains of a large wolf attacking his cattle. Elden wants you to track down the wolf, kill it, and bring him its hide as proof of the deed. He suggests you start your search by asking around town. The wolf's den is most likely deep under New Trismus island.
Quest text[edit]
Elden tells you, Boy, do I have a story to tell. Recently one of the townsfolk was telling me this legend about a large silver coated wolf that hunted on his own, he called it...The Lone Wolf... I thought it was just rambling that was inspired by the consumption of one too many drinks... but as it turns out, it wasn't a myth at all! I saw the beast with my own eyes just last night.
Elden tells you, There I was, counting my cows when I noticed one was missing. Yes, it was old Betsy that had the nerve to wander off and get herself lost. So I grabbed my lantern and headed off to lead her back home. Apparently, it wasn't that she got herself lost... but a wolf had grabbed her!
Elden tells you, He was large, larger than any wolf I've ever seen. His coat was silvery, reminiscent of the moon that rose behind him. There was no pack accompanying him, he was on his own with one of my cattle clenched between massive jaws. The sight of him struck me with both fear and awe. He was otherworldly, unlike any wolf I've ever seen before.
Elden tells you, I can't have him wandering around eating my cattle, but I'm also no warrior. You seem more suited to the task. Locate this magnificent beast, slay him, and bring me back his silver pelt. Stories will be told for decades about your bravery for facing such a beast.
Elden tells you, You should begin by asking around in town. The residents have been talking about this Lone Wolf for quite some time now, but I always assumed it was nothing more than a rumor. Be sure to speak to Pratt and other townsfolk, somebody's bound to know more about this creature.
Miry tells you, The lone wolf... hehe, anybody who has lived on this island has heard that one before. It's Pratt's favorite story, he tells it every chance he gets. It can't be more than a story though, it's absurd to think a wolf of that size is just wandering around by itself.
Ulaven tells you, I've heard the story of the lone wolf before. A beautiful silver pelted beast that wanders the island of New Trismus in search of a friend! Or something dramatic like that... I'm sure it's just a legend.
Frelic tells you, Have you been talking to Pratt? No? Huh. Usually, he's the one stirring up the rumors about the large silver pelted wolf that roams the island. If Farmer Elden says he saw it with one of his cattle... well, we can't have a wolf running around eating the cattle. Food is getting scarce because of the Withered Aegis's onslaught.
Geoff tells you, I think the wolf is real. Pratt doesn't usually spread rumors unless there is at least some truth to it. However, it might be exaggerated a bit and it would be surprising if it survived this long on the island in its current state.
Pratt tells you, Elden saw the lone wolf? Haha! I was sure the beast died when the undead invaded! It's been so hectic around here I haven't had the time to go looking for him. I wonder where he's been hiding.
Pratt tells you, The wolf has been on this island for years. He doesn't appear to be the same species as the other wolves, much larger and stronger with a silver pelt. The normal brown wolves are dwarfed by the beast. Makes me wonder how he got here.
Pratt tells you, Whatever the case is, our food supplies are dwindling enough already. As much as it pains me to say this, the wolf needs to be stopped. You know my wife has been keeping an eye on things over by our homestead, perhaps she has seen the Lone Wolf. You should go ask her.
Elainor tells you, I'm sorry, I haven't seen any wolves around here. It doesn't make sense for a wolf to go that far from its territory to hunt, especially by itself. Pratt has been telling that story for years now and it's nothing more than that. A story.
Elainor tells you, While you're here, you should make yourself useful. Guran has requested an order for sandstone bricks, but I've been a little swamped with other things. Do you think you can acquire some sandstone bricks and then deliver them to Guran for me?
Guran tells you, Thank ye for the bricks. I heard ye been talkin to Mr. McGrubben about the Lone Wolf. Yar, the wolf is real! Seen him with me own eyes, he used to prowl around the ore field. Braekhis set up a camp nearby, she did, she might know more about this lone wolf.
Braekhis tells you, Blasted! I cannot believe I lost my grandmother's ring when I was out patrolling! You there, help me find it. I'll tell you where the lone wolf is if you do.
Braekhis tells you, Oh, thank Moraven! I have to remember to take it off when I go scouting out the area. Look at this ring shine in the light, it would've been a shame if I lost it for good. Oh, that's right, you want to know where the lone wolf is.
Braekhis tells you, I've never seen such a brave wolf before. He actually would fight the Withered Aegis off as valiantly as the rest of us, but eventually they overwhelmed him and he had to move from his old territory. I admire how long he held his ground and can understand what he went through. We're all in the same situation, after all.
Braekhis tells you, I've grown quite fond of the wolf actually. Until now I thought he was harmless. I'd understand if you feel it's necessary to kill him, but may I offer an alternative? I can give him some of my own rations to keep him fed enough to not be wandering off to steal cattle. I have enough to spare.
Do you still wish to kill him or do you want to try to spare him instead?
