The Hunter (Quest)

The Hunter is a Knight Order quest available during the events of. The Agent, when seeking to join one of the Iliac Bay's Knight Orders, is asked to kill a giant, known to have raided a local farm.

Background
Having escaped from Privateer's Hold, the Agent may wander around the Iliac Bay freely. A potential source of income, and reputation, can be found by working for one of the ten Knight Orders, which serve ten regions across the Bay. In order to join an Order, however, the Agent will have to prove their abilities by completing some "mundane" tasks.

Objectives

 * Speak with a Quester from one of the Knight Orders.
 * Journey to and enter the specified dungeon.
 * Search for the giant and kill it.
 * Return to the Quester before the time limit expires to complete the quest.

Walkthrough
Speaking to a Quester from a Knight Order will reveal that a local giant has been raiding a nearby farm. Although the Order has been given the task to complete, the Quester is willing to let the Agent take up the quest as a means of improving their reputation with the Order. Accepting the quest reveals the location of the giant, last reported in a nearby dungeon.

A Huntsman for Hire
The Agent must journey to and then enter the specified dungeon in search of the giant, which will be located somewhere within. It is likely that there will be several giants roaming around the dungeon, so confirming which one is the quest target is impossible without killing all of them. Regardless, when the target giant is killed the Agent themself will state:

"On it's back is a large scorched area. This must be the one [Quester's name] spoke of."

- The Agent

With the giant dead, the Agent must escape the dungeon and return to the Quester before the time limit expires to complete the quest.

Rewards
The Agent will not receive any physical reward for completing the quest successfully, but will instead get a more widespread boost to their reputation. The penalties for failing the quest remain true to a usual quest:
