Walkthrough
This quest involves a short competition with Hien to determine who can return with the greatest yield of meat after luring out and defeating Wanting Gulo Gulo. The outcome of the competition does not affect the quest rewards, but changes some cutscene text.
The player has a limited quantity (3) of Sacks of Entrails as bait to decide on the prime locations to use them on. A system message will inform the player of the quality of the location before they decide whether to use a bait there.
- 3 Gulo Gulo: (X:26.9, Y:8.4) or (X:20.4, Y:9.5)
- 2 Gulo Gulo: (X:23.4, Y:9.5)
- 1 Gulo Gulo: (X:27.7, Y:12.3) or (X:26.0, Y:10.6)
In other words, 2-3 gulo gulo will spawn near the river on the far northwest location and at the 2 northern locations.
Hien will always return with 6 meat. Depending on which locations the player chooses, they will return with 3-8 meat.
Steps
- Speak with Hien.
- Use the entrails to lure out gulo gulo and slay them.
- Show the meat to Gosetsu.
- Deliver the sack of meat to Cirina.
Journal
- Cirina would impress upon you the gravity of the path you walk.

Accepting the quest
Start of cutscene. My friends, I must warn you. The path upon which you embark is fraught with peril.
You will journey unto the far reaches of the Steppe to confront a terrible foe, as did the warrior Bardam in the days of yore. Three days he battled with the demon ere he returned to his people. So it is written, so must it be.
Many who follow in his footsteps perish, lacking in strength of body and mind. Therefore...
We must treat you to a great feast!
Have...have I said something strange? The hungry fox starves at the bull's testicles, therefore warriors should be well fed on the eve of battle!
She does have a point. You have been keeping busy in my absence. A brief repast may be in order, lest we collapse of fatigue and malnourishment in the midst of our trial.
Yes, just so! However, it will take time to prepare.
Is there anything we can do to help? It might also give us a chance to learn more about your people and their ways.
Well, if you insist, I am sure that the others would be glad of your assistance.
Hmm... Would you go and speak with Dorbei, Lyse?
As for you three—you can help me with another task.
For today's feast the gods decreed that we lure gulo gulo to slaughter with entrails. Perhaps you could be the ones to do this?
That your people look to the gods for guidance I can understand, but in your daily meals! I say, your grandmother must be quite busy.
Some days more than others. But every night we come together around the cookfire.
Even babes must earn their keep on the Steppe. Give over the entrails, Cirina. We will bring you a bounty of meat!
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Speaking with Hien
A word of advice. Our quarry is wont to avoid the Xaela and their settlements, but is fond of flowing waters...
Hmm. A thought occurs to me. How about we make a game of it, Forename?
I have six bags of entrails with which we may lure our gulo gulo. Three for you, and three for me.
Whoever returns with the greater portion shall be declared the winner. What say you?
Then it is settled! Gosetsu will stand as witness. Let the game begin!
Optional dialogue
The rules are simple. Whoever returns with the greater portion shall be declared the winner.
You have but a limited quantity of bait. Use it wisely, Forename. Seek places far from men and near water.
Luring out gulo gulo
At X:26.9, Y:8.4 or X:23.4, 9.5
This area appears to be isolated and far from any Xaela settlement. There may be many gulo gulo lurking nearby...
At X:20.4, Y:9.5
The river winds its way south, the waters churning with the gentle current. There may be many gulo gulo lurking nearby...
At X:26.0, Y:10.6
Hoofprints and wagon tracks are unmistakable in the earth. Perhaps there are gulo gulo lurking nearby...
At X:27.7, Y:12.3
The watchtowers of Mol Iloh are still visible in the distance. It seems unlikely that gulo gulo would venture this close...
Use the entrails to erect a lure here? (Yes/No)
Showing the gulo gulo meat to Gosetsu
Oh, have you used all your bait? In that case, let us see the fruits of your labor!
Start of cutscene. Ho! It would seem that, at the very least, you are the faster hunter.
But speed is not everything! For my part, I slew six gulo gulo!
Aye, that you have, my lord. As for Forename...
8 meat
The meat of eight gulo gulo did she/he bring! A fine day's work, and undeniably the greater portion.
Bah! A loss, is it? And how confident I was in my chances.
Nevertheless, it is a testament to your skills as a hunter and a warrior. How fortunate I am to count one so talented among my allies!
7 meat
The meat of seven gulo gulo did she/he bring! By a small margin did she/he best you, but victory is hers/his all the same.
Bah! A loss, is it? And how confident I was in my chances.
Nevertheless, it is a testament to your skills as a hunter and a warrior. How fortunate I am to count one so talented among my allies!
6 meat
5 meat
The meat of five was all she could muster. The day is yours, my lord—but only by a touch.
Oho! And there you have it. I shall try not to let it go to my head.
I know better than to expect the hawk to show her/his talons on a whim. Nay, when the time comes, I expect you will prove yourself more than my match.
4 meat
With the meat of four did she return. Congratulations, my lord─you are the victor!
Oho! And there you have it. I shall try not to let it go to my head.
I know better than to expect the hawk to show her/his talons on a whim. Nay, when the time comes, I expect you will prove yourself more than my match.
3 meat
This day you are twice the hunter as she/he, for our friend delivered unto me but three portions - half your sum, my lord.
Oho! And there you have it. I shall try not to let it go to my head.
I know better than to expect the hawk to show her/his talons on a whim. Nay, when the time comes, I expect you will prove yourself more than my match.
And with that, our game is concluded. Let us return to Mol Iloh forthwith—and let us have Forename present our meal to Cirina.
Mayhap you are unfamiliar with the traditional Xaela cuisine? Let not its appearance deceive you—it is quite hearty and nourishing.
Were it not so, I doubt they could have nursed me back to health. Heh heh, you should have seen the state I was in...
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Delivering the sack of gulo gulo meat to Cirina
You are returned, Forename. How was your hunt?
The player hands over the sack of gulo gulo meat.
My word, this is impressive! Or were you so hungry that you felt the need to kill so many?
Well! I shall endeavor not to disappoint you all with my cooking!
