Walkthrough
To begin the quest, speak with the Gate Guard stationed near Valen Gate at the gates of Valen City. He will inform you that the gates cannot be opened and directs you to cross the bridge towards the Broken Village to speak with Guard Captain Miller for the full story.
Upon speaking with Captain Miller, he will ask for your assistance in locating three of his missing scouts: Harry, Walter, and Thomas. Before setting off to find them, it is highly recommended to bring a pickaxe and some strong healing items (such as a Large Strong Health Potion), as this quest concludes with a boss battle.
Finding the Scouts

The three scouts are scattered in the hills west of the Valen Gate:
- Harry: Head to the purple wooded fort near the Goblin Village, west of Valen Gate. You will need to defeat Level 15 Goblins in this area until one of them drops a Guard Helmet, which serves as proof of Harry's fate.

Harry - Thomas: From Harry's location, continue further west towards the cliffs. You will find Thomas stationed here; simply speak with him.

Thomas - Walter: Head back down the hill in the direction of Captain Miller. Along the path, look for a wooded area near a fork in the road, where Walter can be found sitting behind a rock.

Walter
Confronting the General
Once you have obtained the Guard Helmet and spoken to both Thomas and Walter, return to Guard Captain Miller to deliver the news. Miller will then instruct you to return to Thomas's location to clear a cave entrance blocked by rubble (requires Level 15 Mining).
Upon clearing the rubble and entering the cave, you will face off against the Level 55 Goblin General. Defeat him and collect the Goblin Goods to finish the quest.
