Burrower emergency

After dealing with the burrower menace, Edgar informs of you of another enemy Camp Hathor has.

Objectives

  • A mysterious man who calls himself the Rathound King is causing trouble to Camp Hathor. He is described as a strong and cunning foe who can control rathounds. Find him, kill him and bring his head to Edgar.

Walkthrough

Rathound King's lair is directly south from Camp Hathor. You will need to travel through some rathound packs including a large gathering of alpha rathounds, a thick minefield and a trapped labyrinth. Once you pass the labyrinth and reach the Rathound King, a multitude of options for handling the situation opens. You can attack him alone right there, return to Camp Hathor or talk to him.

  • If you attack him alone, you will have to kill him, an ancient rathound, a rathound alpha and a couple of other rathounds unless you closed the south door prior to engaging.
  • If you choose to talk to him and ask him about how he became the rathoud king, the discussion will lead Sarine and he will task you with kidnapping Sarine and tell you about a hidden door that allows you to go around all the traps.
  • If you return to Camp Hathor (regardless of whether you talked to the king or accepted his kidnapping quest) and inform Edgar of your findings, you can raid the Rathound King's lair with Edgar and a couple of hunters or tell them to do it alone.
    • If you go with Edgar, he informs you that his deputy Boyd will have your reward, should something happen to him. If Edgar survives, he also teaches you the Hunter feat when you return to Camp Hathor.
    • If you tell them to go alone, everyone in the fight dies (regardless of whether you told them about the secret entrance or not), the quest won't be completed and you won't get any reward. But you can at least loot the corpses and the Rathound King won't trouble Camp Hathor any more.
