Cheers Echoing From the Edge Quest Objectives
- 01 Defeat Hornsplitter
Full Walkthrough
01 Find the Hornsplitter
Follow the marker to the Goldleaf Guildhouse in Unicorn Cliff. As you approach, some of Hornsplitter's Guards will come out and attack. Fight through them, then head inside the building to trigger a cutscene before the main fight begins.
02 Defeat Kailok the Hornsplitter
Kailok is the corrupt head of the Goldleaf Merchants and the person pulling strings behind everything that's been happening in Hernand. He has a single HP bar but he's fast, aggressive, and hard to catch. His attacks come out quickly and he doesn't sit still long enough to punish recklessly. A defensive approach works better here than trying to out-aggress him. Wait for openings after he commits to a move rather than pressing forward constantly.
After you beat him, a cutscene plays where the other guild members turn on Kailok and Shakatu takes over as the new guild leader. A Goldleaf Merchant thanks Kliff and mentions that a Greymane was spotted in the alleys of Hernand. Chapter 2 ends with the cutscene and you receive the quest rewards.

Tips and Notes
