Walkthrough
To begin the quest, speak with the Gate Guard stationed near Valen Gate at the gates of Valen City. The guard will inform you of a situation and direct you to speak with Guard Captain Miller.
Cross the nearby bridge toward the goblin camp to find Guard Captain Miller. Upon speaking with him, he will ask for your assistance in opening the gate. To do this, you must locate three of his missing scouts: Harry, Walter, and Thomas.
Finding the Scouts
- Harry: Head above the area where the berserker boss is located. You will need to defeat Level 15 Goblins in this area until one of them drops Harry's helmet.
Harry - Thomas: Continue further up the hill near the chieftain boss's location. You will find Thomas stationed here; simply speak with him.
Thomas - Walter: Head back down the hill in the direction of Captain Miller. Look for a wooded area along the way, where Walter can be found sitting behind a rock.
Walter
Once you have obtained Harry's helmet and located both Thomas and Walter, return to Guard Captain Miller to deliver the news and complete the quest.
