Description
Unujaak told you to come, didn't he? He was the one who helped me find Ipko when I became a hunter--or, rather, helped Ipko find me. They choose and we are chosen.
He is hurting. Everyone is hurting because of me. I know that they need me to lead, but I have been half of a leader without her. If I couldn't protect her, how can I protect all of Uktulut?
<He takes a deep breath.>
I cannot forgive myself. But I cannot let that weight keep me from putting at least one foot on the path I must walk.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 28 9
- 9,500 XP
Progress
I knew this would happen one day, though it does not blunt the pain.
Completion
Nothing will replace Ipko. But water can only fill hands cupped to receive it.
Notes
- On accept
- Tutaqan says: Around us is where our ottuks are kept during training. Each would make a fine companion for the hunter who suits them.
- Tutaqan says: My heart is still too heavy to search myself--but if you are able to bring any ottuks to me, I would meet them.
Dismount first before interacting with the ottuks.
- Peaceful Ottuk
- <The ottuk perks up when you approach, lifting his head and whining for attention.
- It looks like he wants you to pet him!>
<Pet the ottuk.>
The ottuk begins following the player. Bring him to Tutaqan:
- Peaceful Ottuk trots leisurely up to Tutaqan and settles down, squeaking as he yawns.
- Tutaqan says: Oh, what a very sweet friend you are! So calm... So serene!
- Tutaqan says: Unfortunately, he's still too young and soft-hearted. The tides of the world are rough. Let him keep to his holt a while longer.
- The ottuk leaves.
- Territorial Ottuk
- <The ottuk growls at you menacingly when you come near her.
- She doesn't seem to want you to touch her.
- Maybe you could lure her with a toy?>
Grab the nearby [Broken Fishing Pole] and [Stuffed Duckling Toy], combine them with the Extra Action Button that pops up.
- Create Lure — Combine a Broken Fishing Pole and a Stuffed Duckling Toy to create an Ottuk Lure. 2.5 sec cast
Return to the Territorial Ottuk and speak with her again:
- <Wiggle the toy in front of the ottuk.>
The ottuk begins following the player. Bring her to Tutaqan:
- Territorial Ottuk loses interest in the toy and growls at Tutaqan, thumping her tail against the ground.
- Tutaqan says: Little one, I have no desire to fight you. I know the village is large and you feel as though you cannot control it. But control is not the armor you think it is.
- Tutaqan says: Just like tuskarr, some ottuks can be glory-eager. But I do not fight for the sake of fighting.
- Dutiful Ottuk
- <The ottuk seems preoccupied with making sure the other ottuks are eating. Maybe if they had more food, the ottuk might be willing to follow you.>
Grab the nearby Meaty Crab and return to the Dutiful Ottuk.
- <Offer the crab to the ottuk.>
The ottuk begins following the player. Bring him to Tutaqan:
- Tutaqan says: <Name>, I'm thankful for your efforts, but I fear that--
- Dutiful Ottuk approaches Tutaqan and lays the crab at his feet.
- Tutaqan says: I appreciate the gift, but you did not have to give it. You could use it more than I could.
- The ottuk nudges the offered crab forward with his nose.
- Tutaqan says: I see. We have a word for this--a type of duty that is known, not taught. As innate to a tuskarr as breathing. That word is "qipi." We have many stories that teach its importance.
- Tutaqan says: A fitting name, I think, if you will accept it.
- The ottuk chirps once and presses the side of his face into Tutaqan's hand.
- On completion
- The next quest starts automatically.
- The sound of a tuskarr hunting horn bellows from the village's center!
- Tutaqan says: That's my horn... Why is the hunting party being called now?
- Tutaqan says: We must go--quickly. I fear we might have stepped too far out onto thin ice.
- Tutaqan runs toward the center of the village.
- Qipi glances back at his holt and then scurries after Tutaqan.
