Mudarik Aletipper may be found in the Wayfarers camp in Natimbi (sitting between some crates near Magus Releua's shelter, -726, -1661, +264). The Cragbeast Queen spawns at the top of the hill in Natimbi at around 12 AM gametime and despawns at around 2 AM. She requires a raid force to kill, and drops various minor items, including Scales of the Cragbeast Queen, Glowing Bile Drenched Jewel, Phosphorescent Bile, and Misshapen Cragbeast Flesh.
You say, 'Hail, Mudarik Aletipper' Mudarik Aletipper spits out a mouthful of brew. 'Blast ye, ______! For the love of Brell what possessed ye to sneak up on a dwarf when he's drinkin'? I thought ye were the [Cragbeast Queen] come to have me for a light snack.' You say, 'What Cragbeast Queen?' Mudarik Aletipper nods knowingly and leans in close. 'Listen to me carefully, Halfling. Keep a wide berth if ye value yer skin. She's got a jaw as wide as an ogre's backside and as strong as a steel trap. From what I gather from the natives, she made an appearance after the great explosion rocked this island. They say she crawled right out of the ocean if ye can believe that. Rumor has it that she's been sleepin' for ages and the blast woke her up. Now she roams the beaches at midnight. She's not angry so much as plain famished. We've been lookin' for bands of adventurers like yerself strong enough to take her down. If ye have the skills and ye manage to best the blasted lizard, come back and speak to me. There are [rewards] to be had for such bravery.' You say, 'What rewards?' Without a Misshapen Cragbeast Flesh in your inventory: Mudarik Aletipper sifts through your belongings for a few moments. 'Nay, friend. I don't see that ye have anything from the Cragbeast. Did ye really kill her and come seeking a reward, or are ye just pulling an old dwarf's leg?' If you have Misshapen Cragbeast Flesh in your inventory, you get this: Mudarik Aletipper says 'What's this, ______? A chunk of oddly shaped flesh that ye recovered from the Cragbeast Queen? It almost looks like a face, if ye squint your eyes and turn yer head like so. An ugly face at that. Hmph. Maybe there's something to it that I'm not seein'. Hrmph, [reminds me]. . .' You say, 'Reminds you of what?' Mudarik Aletipper shrugs. 'Well, ye see. There was this friend a' mine, goes by the name of Reyna. She was always blabbin' on and on about how wayward spirits see the world differently, sayin' they have mysterious ways of seein' things that the living cannot. Never quite understood what she was on about. Bunch of blooming balderdash if ye ask me.' The spirit Mudarik refers to is named Caridwi, who spawns in Yxxta at -240, -2115, behind the riddle door near the golems, on a rock near the Primal Reptile. For information about getting past the locked door to the Primal Caves, see this quest entry. Caridwi spawns at 4 AM gametime and despawns at 6 AM. Information needed to connect Reyna with Caridwi. You'll see an emote in the area when Caridwi spawns: A haunting song echoes in the dank caverns. You say, 'Hail, Caridwi' Caridwi is whistling an unusual tune. As she speaks, her song continues. The overlapping effect of the music and her melodious voice is haunting. 'Greetings Halfling, it is not often that someone visits me here. In fact, I can't remember the last time I saw another person. Ever since that day in the Coliseum my life has been so strange. Time has all but lost its meaning, and I see the most unusual things. Have you come to hear my [story], or would you like me to explain what the world looks like [through my eyes]?' You say, 'Through your eyes.' Caridwi says, 'It is difficult to describe. Things that used to be clear to me are now non-distinct, and . . . I see visions . . . that are inexplicably real but defy all common logic. For instance, I see you carry a trophy from an epic battle; a misshapen lump of flesh that you aquired from a tremendous foe. You do not understand. Please allow me to borrow it for a moment so I can show you.' Give her the Misshapen Cragbeast Flesh. Caridwi places her hand over your eyes and forces you to examine the Cragbeast Queen's Flesh through her transparent fingers. The skin takes the shape of a hideous mask. 'Do you see now, ______? Do you understand?' You receive Visage of the Brute. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
