Pre-Quest Dialogue Nehdukah

"Listen closely, Yapono, for I am about to tell you my famous tale. There I was walking through the Echovald Forest, when suddenly I found myself face-to-face with a Black Moa bird protecting her clutch of eggs...."

Beastmaster Yapono

"Nehdukah's telling the Black Moa Story again...doesn't he know that we all think he's a fake?"

Nehdukah

"It was the most amazing creature I had ever seen...a Black Moas as dark as the nighttime ocean. Behind her was a nest full of eggs...."

"While I was in the bushes, another hunter emerged from the forest. I can only assume she, too, was in search of this mystical creature."

"But this Black Moa was canny. It hear her coming and yet didn't move a muscle! She approached, and out of nowhere the beast attacked her and knocked her to the forest floor."

"Of course, at this point, I had to act quickly. I ran out to save the other hunter, despite the danger to myself. Sadly, I was one heartbeat too late. The cruel bird got in one more vicious peck...."

"And it pecked one of her eyes right out of her skill. Terrible! I will have nightmares of the horrible sight for years to come. She was so grateful to have survived that she gave me two of the eggs from the nest."

Chitundu

"Tore out her eye? I bet she didn't see that coming. Ha! I mean, that's terrible. Where are these eggs now?"

Beastmaster Yapono

"I know this part of the story well. She lost her precious eggs, isn't that right, Nehdukah? All lies I tell you. Nehdukah is no hunter!"

Nehdukah

"I am a might hunter, Yapono, you'll see. I will go and bring back an impressive pet to prove it. You'll see!"

Beastmaster Yapono

"Don't hurt yourself trying, Nehdukah. Pets are for real hunters, not for tale-tellers like you."

Dialogue

"I found out that the forrible tales of the Black Moa bird are true. They are vicious little buggers that kill most of their pursuers, so there are very few who can tell the tale. I have even learned the secrets of hatching and raising Black Moas and yet everyone laughs at me! I cannot find a Black Moa let alone a Black Moa egg, but perhaps I could tame an impressive warthog and show these Istani that I am a hunter to be reckoned with."

Intermediate Dialogue

"It's awful. Perhaps the others are right; I am not a great hunter. But I want to be. and I did see a Black Moa bird!"

"I used to have a way with animals, but I lost it. I think my fear of the Black Moa bird, and the fact that people don't believe me, has really hurt my self-confidence. Animals can tll, you know. They avoid me."

"The truth of the matter is...the other hunter saved my life, not the other way around. The Black Moa attacked me, and she drove it away. In return, that Moa took her eye."

"I never thought that a creature would make me look over my shoulder everywhere I go. But that battle with the Black Moa has really affected me. If only people believed me, maybe I wouldn't feel so alone."

Intermediate Dialogue 2

"Aieeee! What was that?!"

"Oh, thank Melandru. It was just a warthog."

"Stay close and make certain nothing disturbs me while I charm this beast."

"Ah there you go little one, don't be afraid. You're the best warthog in the entire world, aren't you?"

"Have some of these nice tubers...there you are. Don't eat them all at once. We're going to be good friends, aren't we?"

"Let's head back and show everyone my new precious little warthog."

Followup None

Walkthrough

This is a straightforward quest. Simply head past the Sunspear Great Hall towards the river where the warthog is located. You may have to fight a Bladed Termite, and a Stormseed Jacaranda as they are hostile to your party, but fighting is not necessary for completion of this quest. Once you reach the warthog, Nehdukah will go about charming the beast. Once complete, simply lead him back to his friends and accept the reward.

Trivia

Nehdukah's story tells us the tale of how the Factions Ranger trainer Zho lost her eye.
