Step 1: Hunt Down the Great White Beast

Your journey begins when you learn about the Great White Beast from an NPC named Silk in the Forest Encampment. He describes the beast as a massive, white creature filled with old pain and suggests that it resides in a cave known as the Den, located in the Old Fields.

Objective:

  • Find the Great White Beast in the Den, located in the Old Fields.

NPC Dialogue:

  • Silk: "Her fur, her skin, it remind me of biting winter. I see her one night, follow her to a cave in the Old Fields, to the east. Listened to her howl at the stars. A sad, sad sound. Great white beast, she full of old pain."

Tips for Locating the Den:

  • Navigate the Old Fields: The Old Fields is a large, open area east of the Crossroads. Search for the entrance to the Den, a cave that serves as the lair of the Great White Beast.
  • Watch for Danger: The Old Fields and the Den are home to various wild creatures, so be prepared for combat as you search for the beast.

Step 2: Kill the Great White Beast

Once inside the Den, you must track down and defeat the Great White Beast. This creature is a formidable foe, so ensure you are prepared for a challenging battle.

Objective:

  • Kill the Great White Beast in the Den.

Combat Strategy:

  • Stay Mobile: The Great White Beast is powerful and can deal significant damage if it catches you off guard. Use your movement skills to avoid its attacks and position yourself strategically.
  • Focus on Survival: Bring plenty of life flasks and defensive skills to withstand the beast’s onslaught. If you’re struggling, consider retreating to town to prepare before returning to the fight.

Step 3: Claim Your Reward

After defeating the Great White Beast, return to the Forest Encampment and speak to Yeena to claim your reward. She will express gratitude for putting the suffering beast to rest and offer you a selection of items to aid you in your journey.

Objective:

  • Talk to Yeena for your reward.

NPC Dialogue:

  • Yeena: "The white beast’s spirit is at rest. No more pain. Take this, in thanks from me, and from the suffering animal that you have helped."
