Full Walkthrough
01 Speak with the Enraged Man
Head southwest of the City of Hernand to Capra Pasture. You'll find Ibano getting into an argument with his friends, who are accusing him of cutting off his own goats' horns. He gets increasingly agitated until Kliff steps in and grabs hold of him to calm things down. Ibano, surprised at the grip strength, then explains what actually happened. Some strange people were lurking around his property, and his goat horns were taken. Kliff agrees to track them down.
02 Read the Memory Fragment
Head toward the river east of Hernand Farmhouse. There are only a couple of thieves at the camp there; take them out and secure the area. Then equip your Lantern and scan the camp for the memory fragment, which should appear next to the stolen loot pile. Once you find it, switch to the Visione helm to read it. The memory shows the thieves squabbling over the haul, complaining they grabbed the wrong kind of rock, and that they took the horns thinking they'd be worth something.
03 Find the Stolen Item
Search the pile of stolen goods for the Mysterious Elixir. There's also a Palmar Pill sitting in the middle of the crates nearby that you can grab.
04 Return to Ibano
Ibano has moved to Muckroot Ranch by the time you head back. Hand over the Mysterious Elixir to wrap up the quest.
