Dialogue

Walkthrough
Baron Egan will ask you to find a poison stinger from a Plague Devourer. Head south over the river towards the east side of Lakeside County. There is a small path through a valley. Inside the valley you will find the entrance to the Devourer Cave. At the very end of the Cave is a Plague Devourer who drops two Poison Stingers when killed (regardless of whether one or two party members are present). Bring the stinger to Brother Mhenlo in Ashford Abbey for the reward.

Tip: Since this quest requires you to visit the exact same area, and destroy the same enemies as in The Egg Hunter, its a good idea to get both quests before venturing out.
