Skulks are everywhere in forests of the Dalimond Peninsula, thus the name Forest Skulks. There are some which are relatively weak, and some that are quite difficult to defeat. Rykhar wishes you to target a specific village.


Quest text[edit]

Listen to Rykhar

So Gerix found you "worthy" of being trained, eh? I've heard what he asked you to do by way of a challenge. Any dragon should be able to kill ogres, especially with all your abilties. I'll tell you what, over time I will agree to train you further in the use of Spiked Scales. But you must tell me what you think of the tasks I present you. Some you may find too easy to complete, others too difficult. That way as you learn, I too will learn to be a better trainer. Do you agree? If so, let's discuss your first task.

If you have not already heard, the Dalimond Peninsula has recently been practically overrun by skulks. They hide in the trees, make camps around the streams and lakes, and generally harass anyone traveling the roads between settlements on much of the peninsula. Because they seem to gravitate toward the forests, the locals have taken to calling them "Forest Skulks". For your first task, I want you to seek the skulk village located far away along the southwest road from Bristugo and next to the vestiges of a destroyed machine that Gifted built years ago. Assault this village and defeat any skulk you will find inside. Once you've done so, return to me and we'll talk about those combats. And, of course, I will train you.


Locate the skulk village along the southwest road from Bristugo and next to some vestiges of a destroyed machine.

Game Feedback: You have located the skulk village Rykhar was talking about. Now it's time to unleash your wrath.


Defeat twelve (12) Forest Skulks in this village in order to complete your task.

Game Feedback: You have engaged them in combat and now they lay dead at your feet. That wasn't bad for a training challenge!


Return to Rykhar to talk about the combats and be trained in Spiked Scales.

You look a bit the worse for wear, but I bet you learned a thing or two. Now I'll teach you another thing or two and then we can talk about what you thought of Forest Skulks.
