Where to find Dusty
After talking to the former miner, return to the Old Camp. Now you can persuade his comrade to become "interested novice"Dusty, attracted by Parvez's speeches, will hang around the outer ring or sit in the hut opposite the descent to the market square.
How to get Dusty to Swamp Camp
The return journey can be a challenge for an unprepared hero, thanks to scavengers, mole rats, hornets, lizards, and the occasional wolves. While it's possible to run past these monsters alone, that won't work with Dusty: he'll need to be protected the entire way.
Before choosing "I'm ready. We can go to the Swamp Camp.", we recommend:
- find scraper's clothesto take less damage;
- get good weapon - for example, pick up Morgenstern in the hut Fisk;
- Complete other quests - this will raise your level, get additional SP for leveling up from mentors and earn ore (if you don't want to fight the guards at the southern gate, you need to accumulate 100 pieces).
When everything is ready, inform the miner and leave the area through southern entrance. Having bribed the guards (phrase "We need some fresh air. Here are a hundred pieces."), you can leave calmly. With other answer options have to fight.
Be careful on the way: when Dusty's HP drops to 0, he'll collapse and lose consciousness. Clear the area of monsters and wait for the NPC to recover—only then can you continue on your way.
If a companion runs away and tries to hide from the monster, return for him.
At the entrance to the Brotherhood, talk to Lester again and ask him to take you to the forge: it’s easier to find Tondral from there if you don’t have a good sense of direction or haven’t bought a location map from guru KadarFinally, talk to the idol when the new acolyte is nearby.
What to do if the task does not complete
If you encounter a situation where Tondral doesn't want to talk at the end of the quest, then:
- start a dialogue with Dusty again and choose "I'm ready. We can go to the Swamp Camp.";
- stand closer to the guru so that the miner also closes the distance, and try to talk.
Please note: If you are trying to complete the quest in third chapter the main story campaign or later, the new novice will have to be led to the Orcish Crypt, where the Brotherhood's idols will be moved.
