Detailed Walkthrough

A Harpy Egg

Find Leja in the Harpy Aeries

The quest starts by talking to Gold Coast Scout on the road south to the city, next to the bridge.

"No end to these winged rats. Not that I'm complaining! Every feather's worth a fortunate in gold to us now!"

"You one of the magistrate's charges? I'm only shooting the ones in town, don't worry."

You're being paid to kill harpies?

"Don't think about trying to cut in! Daneem's got an exclusive relationship with the magistrate. She gets wind of any shenanigans..."

Point taken. But why the need for harpy bounties?

"Not my concern. I get paid for feathers regardless."

" go talk to some of the townsfolk if you're that curious. The magistrate's the one who runs this town. Tell him I've got some more feathers coming his way!"

I'll go talk to the townsfolk.

You need to talk to three NPCs in town. They are Kabrahla, Foreman Malumah and Zihlran. Once you talk to them, the quest updates, instructing you to talk to the Magistrate Andrin at-Lehiel. He can be found in the Town Hall. Your offer of help will be rebuffed, but then the daughter of the Magistrate, Leja will arrive. Go talk with her and she will instruct you to meet her at her house.

Leja uncovered that the mercenaries have hidden harpy eggs around the town. The harpies attack only to get them back. After talking to her, she will tell you to follow her up on her balcony. Once there, Leja reveals she has a friendly harpy on her balcony. She will send you to collect harpy eggs stowed away at various points in the city - you need to only collect four of the eggs. Once you have the eggs, find Leja next to the well in the middle of the city. Your talk will soon be interrupted by Daneem - the leader of the mercenaries.

In order to figure out the mercenaries' plans, Leja send you to eavesdrop on them. You need to go to a warehouse on the western side of the city. Once hidden in a crate, a scene will play, between Daneem, Foremna Malumah and Udamaji. Daneem is extorting them for money, under threats of violence. With this information, return to Leja's house. But Leja will not be there, instead, her father will angrily shout at you. Apparently, Leja has been abducted by the harpies. In order to rescue her, you need to go to the east end of town, where the harpies nest.

On the way to the harpy nests, you will find a body of a villager, which you can examine.

"<The villager is in rough shape. it looks as if quite a few wild animals got to him before the end.>"

<Examine the body.>

"<On second glance, it seems the villager was badly bruised, as if he'd been in a fistfight. His wrists also show signs of rope burns. It doesn't seem like harpies dragged this man away.>"

Follow the trail of victims to a tall rock spire. Go up and around the left side and you will Find Leja in small cave. She's hurt, but alive. She reveals the mercenaries were the abductors. They left all the people to die, but the harpies helped her. She states this must end. In order to return to town, you can ask a friendly harpy for a ride.

"<The harpy doesn't seem to be afraid or aggressive.>"

Leja at-Lehiel said you could take me back to town.

"<The harpy seems to be waiting tor you to say something else.>"

I'm ready to go if you'll take me!

The harpy will drop you off at the city center. Talk to the Magistrate to reveal Daneem's plot. Leja then tells you to gather up the villagers. You need to gather three groups of villagers, just by standing near them for a few seconds. The villagers seem to have been expecting you and are eager for action.

"That's the one Leja said to wait for. Let's go."

"About time we ran these charlatans out of town."

"Leja said you'd come. Let's head to the guardhouse."

Meet with Leha before the town's guardhouse. You can watch as the villagers drag Daneem out of the building. Once that's done, you should head inside to investigate the guardhouse. Once inside, you'll see the Harpy matriarch dead on the floor. It seems this may have prompted the viciousness of the harpies. You should collect the corpse and take it out on the balcony, where you can give it to Leja, finishing the quest.

Notes

• The foreman, the magistrate, Leja and Daneem won't exist in Kozanset before starting the quest.
• The mercenary that speaks to the foreman has a prompt to talk with her but nothing occurs when attempting to do so.
• Zihlran disappears from the crate right after exhausting his dialogue.
• Although the guardhouse can be accessed beforehand, the dead matriarch won't exist inside until starting the quest or reaching the related objective.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
