Orsone on his perch

Orsone is Gerrick's pet parrot, found on a perch next to his owner in Gerrick's Goods. He rhymes nonsense about Iszara and interrupts your conversation with the shopkeeper. If you choose the correct responses to his dialogue, the parrot will reveal the location of buried treasure. As expected, the directions are rhymed and a bit cryptic.

Related Quests

• A Parrot's Riddle: Find Iszara's buried treasure.

Notes

• His name only appears in Gerrick's dialogue. When you speak to him, the text prompt just calls him "Parrot".
• The "head" referred to in the riddle is the fallen head of the Statue of Thassad west of town. If you walk about 21 paces in the direction it's facing and dig with a shovel, you will find a pouch with 300 gold.

Bugs

• The topic for the response "I've had enough of this!" is called "Steam-driven carriages", which is part of Lakene's dialogue.
