Walkthrough

1
Jaethal approaches you in the throne room during Chapter 2, accusing merchant Enneo of possessing her dagger. Enneo claims he found it on a boar in the Old Sycamore area.
2
Travel to the Old Sycamore area. Head north beyond the Old Sycamore Depths entrance, then northeast. The boar's body is located in the center-left of the region, below a cliff edge.
3
Interact with the boar's corpse. Jaethal will note the wounds are consistent with dagger-inflicted ones.
4
Pass a Lore (Nature) check to confirm the wounds were inflicted post-mortem. If you fail, you can use further Lore (Nature) and Perception checks to examine the carcass and surrounding area for clues.
5
After gathering enough information (earning XP), the journal updates. Travel to the newly revealed Thorn River Bank area, west of Old Sycamore.
6
From the starting point in Thorn River Bank, follow the stream west until it bends southwest. Note a trap (Perception 18 / Trickery 18).
7
West of the stream, find a pile of rocks to collect an Ancient Rostlandic Coin.
8
Continue southwest along the stream to find and defeat two Dire Boars.
9
Backtrack east to the southeastern corner of the map to find a Perception 12 check revealing a Potion of Shield of Faith.
10
Return to where you fought the boars, continue west and northwest through a gap in the rocks. A Perception 12 check reveals minor loot on a log.
11
Northeast of the log, disarm three small traps (Perception 19 / Trickery 19).
12
To the northwest, confront a group of five Young Elves: a 7th-level Fighter (bow), an 8th-level Alchemist, a 7th-level Fighter (sword/shield), a 5th-level Bard, and a 7th-level Rogue. Prioritize the Bard and Alchemist.
13
After defeating the elves, Jaethal will revive one of them. Question the revived elf to learn why they attacked.
14
Decide the elf's fate based on your alignment: condemning them to undeath (Neutral Evil) or allowing them to die (Chaotic Good). Both options yield 225 Experience. Jaethal's reaction may vary.

Tips

The boar's location in Old Sycamore is just east of the ramp leading to the centipede-infested plateau.
In the Thorn River Bank fight, focus on the Bard and Alchemist due to their support and debilitating spells. Consider using spells like Glitterdust against the clustered enemies.
Jaethal's ability to revive the elf is a key part of the quest's resolution.
