Show Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speak to Sly in the Old Camp. He asks the hero to find Nek and bring back his amulet.
  2. 2
    Follow Sly's lead to Fletcher. Fletcher knows nothing concrete but thinks the diggers do. They do not.
  3. 3
    Speak to Snaf (usually while running Snafs Rezept). He mentions he sent Nek mushroom-hunting.
  4. 4
    Walk out the Old Camp south gate, veer slightly right, and find the cave with three molerats out front.
  5. 5
    Kill the molerats and enter the cave. Nek's body lies inside. Take his amulet.
  6. 6
    Optional: before turning in, report to Fletcher that Nek is dead - this ties off Aufnahme Altes Lager cleanly.
  7. 7
    Bring the amulet to Sly. He signs off with his vote. +250 XP.

    Warning: if the quest is turned in with Sly before Fletcher has been spoken to, the Fletcher branch stays open as an unclosable entry in the journal.

The shadow Sly misses the guardsman Nek - or at least he wants the protection amulet Nek was carrying. He sends the hero through a chain of dead ends: Fletcher knows nothing, the diggers of the outer ring shrug, and only Snaf eventually drops the key detail. Nek had left the south gate hunting mushrooms for Snaf's recipe. The hunt ended in the cave beyond, and the story ends the same way for the hero when he walks in: three molerats, a corpse, and the amulet to carry back.
