7 80

Objectives Edit

Collect 4 heaps of Core Hound Entrails.

•  [Core Hound Entrails] x4

Description Edit

I was stunned to discover that Twilight's Hammer had located - and imprisoned - the great turtle ancient Tortolla. That's him just north of here, chained in the murky waters of the Ashen Lake.

Freeing Tortolla from his bonds will not be easy. But we will take it one step at a time.

Head into the Flamewake and collect for me heaps of core hound entrails. I will explain why later.

And beware of Nemesis the Usurper while you are there! His time will come, but we are not yet prepared.

Rewards Edit

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Gore-Stained Shoulderpads]		[Gutrip Gauntlets]
	[Calcified Gizzard]

You will receive: 7 80

Progress Edit

Have you collected the innards?

Core hounds are not native to this part of the world, they accompanied Twilight's Hammer from the nether regions of the earth. Do not trouble yourself over their elimination.

Completion Edit

Very good. We will need these to act as bait while they are still warm.

Here is my plan...

Notes Edit

Pick up Durable Seeds and Firebreak before heading out. Head northeast into the Flamewake -- much more target-rich environment.
