The Wilds (mission)

Mission Objectives
Hunt down the Shining Blade Kidnappers, and rescue the Chosen they have taken hostage.
 * Chase the fleeing Shining Blade.
 * Rescue the Chosen.
 * Discover how the Shining Blade navigates the jungle.
 * BONUS Defeat the two Centaur chieftains.

Primary
Follow the path in order to chase the Shining Blade Scouts and rescue the Chosen. Some places along the path are occupied by Entangling Roots, which will block the way. Kill the Entangling Roots to remove the plant wall blocking the way. After the first cut-scene, a large number of centaurs will come at you, so try to deal with one mob at a time (marked A on the map). After the second cut-scene, kill the spiders to save the Chosen and complete the mission.

Bonus
Early on in this mission you will reach a crossroads. In addition to the path you came from and the path that goes forward (mission path), there are paths to the left and right. These paths actually form a loop that goes under the forward path. Go around the loop and watch out for a path leading off from it. At the end of that path you will see two Centaur Scouts (marked 1 on the map). This is the most critical part of the bonus - do not attack them. Stay close to them (but outside your aggro circle) until they start talking. Wait until their conversation is finished. Once the bonus objective has been added, attack them. They will drop a Vine Seed. Take it with you and continue with your quest. ''Tip: If a party member should Aggro the two centaurs, the bonus has not been spoiled as long is neither of centaurs is killed, simply get your whole party to run out of aggro range. The centaurs should continue talking.''

With the Vine Seed, return to the crossroads and continue down the mission path.

Further on in the mission, you will get to a cutscene where you see the person you're chasing running and a large number of centaurs rushing towards you. Kill them, and then head up the path the centaurs ran down (northwards and eastwards). You will find a glowing circle where you can plant your Vine Seed to create a Vine Bridge (marked 2 on the map). Then you will need to kill quite a number of centaurs and centaur bosses, including the two centaur bosses mentioned by the conversing scouts, whose deaths will complete the bonus objective (marked 3 on the map).
