Get Nicolai a job.
  • 1 of 8: You get this quest by talking to Nicolai Ironfist, who's standing around near the south wall of Drangheim City.
  • 2 of 8: He's always been fond of circuses, as he'll tell you in case you didn't play MM6.
  • 3 of 8: There aren't any circus jobs in Drangheim, so look elsewhere.
  • 4 of 8: There's a circus-like place in Guberland called the Gathering. It's the large open-air game area south of the city.
  • 5 of 8: Go there and speak with Thorir Mouth.
  • 6 of 8: Ask him if he's needing any help, and you'll volunteer Nicolai for the job.
  • 7 of 8: Then go tell Nicolai about the job.
  • 8 of 8: Then go check with Thorir again to get a reward and end the quest.
