WHY PLAYERS GET STUCK
Minova is not at the Rover Camp or elsewhere in Old Arkovia; she stands just outside the southern Arkovian Undercity exit into the Broken Hills. Lutra is not inside the Undercity, but in a small ruin west of the Broken Hills Riftgate.
WALKTHROUGH
- 1Accept the quest from Minova at the southern Undercity exit
- ▸Travel through the Arkovian Undercity from Old Arkovia and leave by its southern exit into the Broken Hills.
- ▸Speak to the ghost Minova immediately outside the exit. The quest has no prerequisite or faction requirement.
- ▸Accept her request to end the suffering of her daughter, who was born as a harpy because of a curse.
- 2Slay Lutra in the small ruin to the west
- ▸Start from the Broken Hills Riftgate and travel west to a small ruin.
- ▸Find and slay the harpy Lutra the Abandoned in the ruin.
- ▸Lutra has exceptionally high Lightning Resistance; lightning-focused builds should use another damage type or resistance reduction.
- 3Report back to Minova
- ▸Return to Minova outside the southern entrance to the Arkovian Undercity.
- ▸Tell her that Lutra has been put to rest to complete the quest.
- ▸Rewards are 4,500 XP on Normal, 15,000 XP on Elite, or 38,000 XP on Ultimate, plus one Attribute Point.
STILL LOST?
If you have not accepted the quest, leave the Arkovian Undercity by its southern exit into the Broken Hills and find Minova just outside. For Lutra, start at the Broken Hills Riftgate and head west to the small ruin. The turn-in is back at the same Undercity exit.
There is no prerequisite, dialogue branch, time limit, or failure condition, so the quest is not missable. Its permanent Attribute Point reward makes it a high-priority side quest.
