When threatened, he will throw a Valkyrie Spirit Spear at enemies.

Quests

The Adventurer will hand out quests to the player to complete tasks in various parts of the world. These quests are separated into three groups, based on what must be done to complete the quest.

• Forager Quests require the player to fetch a unique item for the adventurer.
• Slayer Quests require the player to kill enemies specified on your contract, which will keep track of your progress.
• Explorer Quests require the player to travel to a biome and remain there until it has been mapped out.

Another category of exists as well, referred to as Primary Quests. These quests can function like any of the other 3 categories of quests, but they cannot be skipped and generally offer a greater reward to the player than normal quests.

Completing a quest will grant the player a variety of rewards, both cosmetic and functional. Additionally, after completing certain quests new items that correspond to the quest will be unlocked for purchase within the Adventurer's shop.

Adventurer Quote Availability Task Rewards Before completion: "Ever since I was captured by those savages from the Briar, I've been doin' some research on the place. That altar you found me at is supposed to harbor a really venegeful nature spirit. However, the vines that spirit's made of are said to possessive some mystical regenerative properties, or somethin'. Mind investigating? And kill some savages for me while you're at it." After completing a quest. Kill a Glade Wraith and bring the Adventurer the following item: Sacred Vine Enchanted Leaf (5-8) Elderbark (10-24) Healing Potion (4) Glade Wraith Mask Thornspeaker set After completion: "Revenge is sweet! Now those feral beasts in the Briar are sure to think twice about capturin' innocent adventurers in the future! Hopefully. I've whipped up some healin' potions with those vines you gave me. I'm sure it'll help out when you're in a tight spot, eh?" Before completion: "The sands of the desert hide a lot of secrets beneath 'em. There's supposed to be an Ancient Ziggurat buried near the surface of one of those wastelands. Could ya head down there and scavenge some relics from me? I've got a hunch, but I need to confirm it..." After completing 2 quests. Locate an Ancient Ziggurat and bring the Adventurer the following item: Decrepit Idol Topaz or Sapphire (2-4) Scarab Idol Pharaoh's set After completion: "I knew it.

Me and some bounty hunters tried to take that thing on years ago. We barely escaped with our lives. Be safe, lad."

Adventurer Quote Availability Task Rewards Before completion: "I've heard tell of an Arcane Goblin Tower near the far shores of this land.

Bring the Adventurer the following item: Shadowbreak Wand Mysterious Satchel Tattered Cloth (5-6) Yellow Willow Bonsai (1-3) After completion: "Hope those goblins didn't give you too much trouble, heh. Wow, look at that craftwork! It's supposed to be real powerful, too. So maybe you won't get killed while you're out there adventuring, yeah?" Before completion: "You ever wonder why there're so many skeletons underground? Turns out that there was a band of necromancers that holed up in the caverns all across the world and performed all kinds of experiments. Well, lucky for us they're gone! But their Sepulchres still remain. Mind grabbin' me a chest from there? I'd like to study their architecture further. Don't turn into a skeleton!" Available at any time. Bring the Adventurer the following item: Sepulchre Chest Mysterious Satchel Sepulchre Pot (12-20) After completion: "Thanks, bud. After studying this artifact, I've managed to reproduce a few vases in their weird style. If you ever want your house to have a spooky vibe, here ya go. Don't go conjuring any skeletons, now." Before completion: "Hey, lad. I've got another proposition for ya. You see, I've been looking at some old maps and I've learned about a cluster of Floating Pagodas above the oceans of this world. Trouble is, I can't make out whether it's to the left or right, so would ya go explorin' for me? I'm looking for an ornate staff, hundreds of years old. Happy hunting!" Available at any time.

Use it carefully, alright? That there is one of a kind." Before completion: "I've got a, uh, perfectly normal quest for ya. Why don't you go ahead and head to the Jungle to fish up a Hornetfish for me? It's supposed to be a real delicacy, but I'm still on vacation mode. Be careful, though. I've heard it can be a... tough catch. Whaddya mean, this sounds exactly like something the Angler would want you to do? Can't wait to roast this over a fire. Thanks, lad." Available at any time. Kill a Hornetfish and bring the Adventurer the following item Hornetfish Mysterious Satchel Vine Tiger Skin Moonlight Deluge Rice Paddy Hat Koi Totem After completion: "Oops, forgot to mention that the fish could fly. I'm sure that was obvious though, right? Y'know, it's got hornet in the name for a reason. It's supposed to taste mighty tangy. Hopefully you didn't butcher it too much. You may not know this about me, but I'm quite the cookin' expert. " Before completion: "I've been hearin' stories about some new flora that's cropped up around those strange Mushroom Forests recently. These lil' buggers seem to just sway from side to side, as if they're dancin'. I have no real motive this time around, I just wanna see one of 'em. Mind fetching one for me?" Available at any time.

Maybe I'll plan a few raids in the future? Thanks for the intel." Before completion: "Up for a little explorin'? This world's massive, and even I haven't seen it all. Have you checked out the lower parts of the Jungle? I've recently heard about a series of massive hives around there.

Adventurer Quote Availability Target Rewards Before completion: "Gear up, lad! You're going to assassinate some assassins today.

Thanks for makin' it just a little easier to traverse the world." Before completion: "The Jungle's a rough place, that's for sure. My colleague, an expert archaeologist, went roamin' the place for some ancient temple. He didn't make it, though. Real shame, that lad was a riot.

Hopefully your next journey skyward will be more peaceful, eh?" Before completion: "Some new creepy crawlies have taken to calling the caverns their home. Disgustin' little fellas that belch poison gas and some spiny little buggers. I've got a simple task for ya. Do us all a favor and exterminate those nasty things.

Before completion: "You've really shaken up the world after slaying the great evil in that disgusting biome. But not for the better. New horrors are startin' to crop up everwhere.

Before completion: "A few of my associates have scouted a growing threat in the icy caverns. Sometimes, they even get bold enough to roam the surface durin' heavy blizzards. We're calling 'em Winterborn, and I'd like for you to thin their numbers a bit. They're a tough foe, so be safe, lad. This contract should help keep track of your kills. Oh, and I'd be cautious when roaming those caverns. Some of those Ice Scupltures look too lifelike..." Available after defeating Skeletron.

I'm not even sure I could've handled ten of those freaky cadavers. I'm sure the frozen tundra will be a little safer to explore, thanks to you.

Before completion: "You've checked out the Asteroid Fields near the far corner of the world, right? My sources have reported some increasin' mechanical activity around there.

Stay strong, lad."
