Walkthrough

Speak with Viraban at Palaka's Stand (Accept Quest)

Viraban: Egads, my knees... My years are catching up to me...
Viraban: You there, traveler, might you have some time to spare for and old maid? As I fled from the chaos that errupted, I took a terrible spill and dropped a charm that is very important to me.
Viraban: And can you believe it? One of those flea-infested hanuman langurs scooped it up off the ground and curried off into the woods.
Viraban: Would that I still had my youth—I'd skewer that fiend at the end of my spear! Alas, my vigor isn't what it once was, and I'm still aching from that fall besides...

What will you say?
>> You'll have your charm back, don't worry.
Viraban: Really? You'd do that for me?
>> You should get your wounds treated first.
Viraban: If I wait for my wounds to heal, who knows where that monster will get to. I must have that charm back. Please, will you lend your stout arm?
<Both>
Viraban: The animal ran off toward the Font of Maya. Fell it quickly and return my charm to me please. How else am I to defend myself from fate's cruel machinations?

Retrieve the worn charm from a hanuman langur

Defeat Hanuman Langur until item drops

Deliver the worn charm to Viraban

Viraban: You are returned at last, and none too soon—I feel that something terrible is soon to happen. Were you able to slay that monster?

Hand Over Worn Charm

Viraban: Yes, this is it! This is it! I can already feel my vitality returning, such as it is. Death shall have to wait for many years yet! Thank you, traveler.
Viraban: I received this charm in my youth, when I was handed my spear and deemed a warrior true. I was passed down through our order, and I keep it still to remember my halcyon days.
Viraban: Although my fighting days are long behind me, I would be happy to impart some small measure of my knowledge to the stewards of the future. In time, I shall give this charm away, just as it was given to me.
Viraban: When I relinquish it, I shall tell its recipient of your bravery this day, that your deeds might echo into the future. Please, take this as a reward. It's the least I can give.
