Quest: Defeat the Goblins

The "Defeat the Goblins" quest involves several key objectives, including navigating the Shadow-Cursed Lands and interacting with various characters and items. This quest is part of the larger Act 2 storyline, which includes quests like "Infiltrate Moonrise Towers" and "Defeat Ketheric Thorm." Rewards and important items can be found throughout this area, often tied to specific quests or locations.

As you begin your journey, you will find yourself at the Ravaged Beach. Continue along the path to discover Shadowheart unconscious at coordinates X:271 Y:217. Interacting with her will present you with three dialogue options.

Key items and their locations related to this questline:

  • Icy Helve: Found with Dhourn, west of the Selûnite Outpost.
  • Icy Metal: Looted from the Pale Corpse in the Myconid Colony's secret area (X:50, Y:75), unlocked by completing the quest "Defeat the Duergar Intruders."
  • Icy Crystal: Carried by Filro the Forgotten, near the Sussur Tree.
  • Sussur Tree Bark: Obtained from the Sussur Tree in the Dread Hollow in the Underdark (X: -14, Y: -138). This is used to forge Sussur weapons with a +1 enchantment and silence ability. To forge, light the furnace, use the bellows, combine Sussur bark with the furnace, then use a plain dagger, sickle, or greatsword.
  • Gilded Chest: Located in the southeast portion of the Ruined Battlefield (X: 80 Y: -96), guarded by Shadow-Cursed Needle Blights and Shadow-Cursed Vine Blights.
  • Strange Ox: Can be looted from the Strange Ox in the Druid Grove or at Dammon's blacksmith in the Last Light Inn. Killing the Strange Ox will prevent completion of the "Help the Devilish Ox" quest.
  • Pale Oak: A reward for completing "Investigate Kagha" by persuading and sparing Kagha before "Rescue the Druid Halsin." This staff is only awarded if your character is a druid.
  • Hide and Seek quest reward: Obtained from Oliver at the House with Flowers in the Shadow-Cursed Lands. Can also be acquired by knocking him out or pick-pocketing during a tactical turn-based encounter before he vanishes, or if you can see invisible creatures.
