Follow this Horizon Forbidden West walkthrough to easily complete the 'A Dash of Courage' errand. Gather Bitter Leaf and Wild Meat, and find the Corrupted Metal Panel.
Hey there! Ready to help out a chef in Chainscrape? This errand, 'A Dash of Courage,' is pretty straightforward and a nice way to get familiar with gathering some basic supplies. Let's get you sorted!
- 1
Speak with Milduf: First things first, head into the big central building in Chainscrape. Inside, you'll find Milduf, a cook who's a bit short on ingredients. Chat with him, and he'll ask you to fetch some Wild Meat and Bitter Leafs.

Gather Bitter Leaf: Once you've got the quest, exit the building and make your way across the wooden bridge to the northeast. Keep an eye out near the water; you should find the Bitter Leafs growing there. You need 3 of them.
- 3
Gather Wild Meat: Continue heading east from where you found the Bitter Leafs. You'll start spotting some Boars wandering around. If you're having trouble seeing them, just hold down R3 to activate your Focus. This will highlight them, making them easier to track. To take them down, sneak up on them while crouched, aim for a headshot, and take them out. You need 5 pieces of Wild Meat.

Find the Corrupted Metal Panel: Now, travel further northeast until you reach an area called the Scrounger Site. You'll see Scavenger Scrap Piles scattered around. The tricky part here is that the Corrupted Metal Panel isn't a guaranteed drop from every pile. You'll need to locate a pile, wait for the nearby Scroungers to move away a bit, then interact with the pile to get the panel. If you don't get it the first time, don't worry – just try another pile. You might have to check a few before you find one.

Return to Milduf: Once you've got all your supplies – 3 Bitter Leafs, 5 Wild Meat, and the Corrupted Metal Panel – head back to Chainscrape and speak with Milduf again. He'll be happy to have the ingredients!
- Using your Focus (R3) is super helpful for spotting both the Boars and the Bitter Leafs, as well as tracking Scroungers.
- When hunting Boars, remember to crouch and aim for the head for a quick and clean kill.
- Don't get discouraged if you don't get the Corrupted Metal Panel on your first try at a Scrounger Scrap Pile. Just keep trying different piles!
