Dialogue
- "I'm at a loss. First those worms, and now someone has stolen my prize Moa Bird. To make matters worse, the tracks seem to indicate that whoever took her led off to the Catacombs! I don't have to tell you how dangerous it is down there."
- "But wait, you're a strong <character class>. Would you be willing to find my poor bird and bring her back?"
Reward Dialogue
- "My precious bird is dead? And part of some kind of ritual you say? Just my luck.... Well at least nothing worse can happen to me today. In any case, thank you for your trouble."
Walkthrough
Path from the Green Hills County Catacombs entrance to Prize Moa Bird's corpse.
Head down into The Catacombs from Ashford Abbey. Head down the right path until you go down some stairs into a big rectangular room with a few Restless Corpses in it. Head to the end of the room and take the second right into a cavern full of Deadly Crypt Spiders, keep heading down this path till you get to the hallway where Oberan the Reviled is. Right before Oberan's hallway take a left and head straight down that path and up a flight of stairs. This should take you to the candleroom where the prize Moa Bird lays dead in the middle of the room and two Crypt Fiends are lurking. You can either fight the Crypt Fiends or run. Whatever you do, when you are done return to Ashford Village and tell Pitney of the sad news.
Tip this quest can be easily done with Charr in the Catacombs (when it comes time to seek out Oberan the Reviled). Take The Catacombs entrance in Green Hills County, which is located NE of Barradin's Estate. See the map to the right.
Notes
The Long Sword you receive as a reward for this quest is the only other weapon currently in the game to share the Crystalline Sword skin, making it quite desirable for collectors.
