Dialogue

We need Renk for the G.O.L.E.M. project. He's bright... intelligent, even. Lately, he's been hanging around Riven Earth researching the flow patterns of mountain waterfalls. Apparently he sees patterns in things where others just see chaos. It seems odd, I know, but you never know what these geniuses will find interesting. Find him and bring him aboard. I'm sure he'll want to help us.

Walkthrough

Start in Rata Sum and head south through the Magus Stones. You should not encounter many enemies beyond spiders and weavers. Enter the Alcazia Tangle from there, and continue heading south. You can make it to the entrance to Renk's lab without encounter any enemies at all, if you are good at manuevering. The next part takes some careful manuevering as well. Renk will be surrounded by some Destroyers, and if you move close to them and Renk, you will say something along the lines of "Renk, hang in there!". Once this happens, the Destroyers will move in and attack Renk. If you aggro the Destroyers without your character calling out to Renk, they should only attack you, allowing you to kill the Destroyers and then talk to Renk. If Renk dies, after you kill the Destroyers he will be resurrected.

Notes

Doing this quest with Lab Space helps. While you are on the way to Rata Sum you can find Renk easily. Once you have completed Finding Gadd and Lab Space you can just head to fighting the destroyers instead of meeting him at the waterfall, which cuts the quest time in half.
