Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
The guard at the gate wants me to kill a beast for him.
1 of 7: The beast is a ways away, and you'll have to find its footprints to track it to its lair.
2 of 7: To find the footprints, cross the river at the shallow area a little ways to the southwest of the fort entrance.
3 of 7: Then move north along the coast and loop around to the east, and you'll eventually come across some footprints.
4 of 7: Follow them north a long ways, and you'll come across a small ruined building.
5 of 7: The beast, a "Temporal Crusher" is inside.
6 of 7: It's very easy to kill if you have companions, but if it's just you, the battle will pose a problem, since it can paralyze you every time it hits. Don't take the gauntlets in its treasure pile...they'll constantly poison you as long as you have them on. The ring is good, though.
7 of 7: Once it's dead, go back to the guard to get an amulet as a reward (bonus poison resistance, and -5 to reaction).
