Repetition is the key to training and learning, but sometimes you must help others and teach in order to learn. Gerix has a problem with one of his other younglings and needs your assistance before teaching you the power of the draining strike.

Quest text[edit]

<player>, we are short on time so I will be quick. I had a challenge planned for you, to test your skills against the Bronze Golems far to the south, but I am afraid it will have to wait. You see, there are other younglings that are here for training as well. One of my most enthusiastic was sent south some time ago and I have not heard from her yet.

  • Is she okay?

That is what I wish to find out! Let us hope that she is, but if she isn't then I wish for you to render assistance. Can you do that, <player>? Consider this to be your trial. Her name is Anamandryx and I sent her south to fight the Sandstone Pebble Golems south of Parsinia. Take the road out of town, at the fork that says "forest" head up the hill.


Hello, are you here for the trials also?

  • BattleMaster Gerix sent me to find you!

He did? Well, that is disappointing... but I suppose it has been quite a while. You see, he sent me here to fight these golems, but I got overwhelmed and had to retreat to this rock to rest and recover. I must have lost track of the time!

  • I'm here, we can head back now

N-no! I want to finish the trial. Maybe you'd be willing to help me with it? I've got some hoard I'd share with you.

  • Let's do it!

Thank you, <player>. We just need to kill eleven more of the Sandstone Pebble Golems. Let's go!


Thank you for your help, <player>! I'll meet you back in Kion.


Welcome back, <player>. I see that you located and were able to assist Anamandryx. Thank you for your assistance. Anamandryx, you have much to learn... perhaps you should tag along with <player> for a while and learn more by observing.

Anamandryx says, "I understand, BattleMaster."

  • Does that complete the trial?

It does, <player>. Well done. You have earned this, but do not take it for granted for you have a long, and hard, road ahead of you. Be sure you speak to Anamandryx before you leave.


As promised, here is some of my hoard to share. I'm ready to accompany you!

Steps[edit]

  • Speak with BattleMaster Gerix
  • Travel to Parsinia, then take the road south out of town. Where the road forks take the path to the left up the hill. If you reach the Sslik Militia's barricade then you've gone too far. Up the hill you will find Sandstone Pebble Golems in the sandstone fields. Look for Anamandryx there and offer what assistance you can!
  • Speak with Anamandryx, the youngling sent here by Gerix
  • Help Anamandryx by defeating eleven (11) Sandstone Pebble Golems at the sandstone fields south of Parsinia
  • Speak to Anamandryx on the outcropping of rock
  • Return to BattleMaster Gerix in Kion to continue your training
  • Speak with BattleMaster Gerix
  • Speak to Anamandryx in Kion
