Walkthrough
Begin by taking the Resplendent Makuun exit from Honur Hill. Follow the southern path until you reach the Resurrection Shrine. If you wish to kill Jishol Darksong for the +2% Morale Boost, continue south. If not, then take the western path around the large rock in front of you, then continue south. Go east up the stairs to the front balcony of the Bokka Amphitheatre. Move towards Goren, and he will automatically join your party. Continue southwest across the balcony and go down the stairs. Continue on this western path until you get to the first quest objective spot. Clear the area to obtain Goren's weapon and the next objective. (Although nothing will drop, Goren will wander around for a bit, and locate his weapon on his own.)

Leave this area using the east path. Shortly, you will encounter Josinq the Whisperer. As the boss is a healer, you may want to take some form of interrupt(s) to defeat him. Once Josinq is dead, continue east down the left path. Enter the cave. Here, clear out the Djinn in the center. Goren will wander around and locate his armor. Exit the cave using the southeastern path. Here the path will split, so go to the left. Continue down this southern path clearing out all the Harpies and head towards the last objective point. Clear out the area around this rock and let Goren find his sparkling rock. Map back to Honur Hill and collect your reward.

Sometimes Goren will break from the group and run ahead toward the quest markers without regard to the surrounding enemies, drawing aggro from multiple groups as he searches for his "stuff." To avoid Goren's death and failure of the quest, it is advisable to be prepared to micromanage your heroes' healing and protection skills when approaching the quest markers - especially in the caverns patrolled by Ruby Djinns.

Of course, if you have the time, you can clear out all of the enemies in the noted path before talking to Goren. It will greatly reduce the chances of him dying prematurely as no other monsters will spawn after he follows your party.

Initial dialogue
Goren
 * "I am worried about Nightfall. I don't want the world to get destroyed.  It's where I keep all my stuff.  Maybe I could bash some things and keep my stuff safe.  I used to bash things for Bokka.  He'd yell and I'd make people get out of the way.  Bokka always took good care of me.  If you help find my stuff and keep it safe...you know...in case the world gets destroyed, I'll do some bashing for you.  Let's go collect my stuff!"

Intermediate dialogue

 * Goren: "I don't understand why people use the Xunlai Agents. These monsters protect my stuff just fine, and I don't have to pay them anything. Hmmm. My weapon is around here somewhere."
 * Goren: "Oh! That's right. It's right here."
 * Goren: "Some times I forget where I put things. Like my armor."
 * Goren: ''"Oh. Was it over there? That's funny I don't remember leaving it there.
 * Goren: "I put my most prized possession in the whole wide world somewhere around here."
 * Goren: "There it is! It's such a pretty rock. I like to keep it close. Pick it up and give it here."
 * Goren: "Now let's find a safe place for my stuff!"

Reward dialogue
Xunlai Agent Momo
 * ''"So you want to set up a Xunlai account for your oafish friend because he's afraid he'll lose his stuff when the world ends? That won't be a problem. We'll even waive the 50 gold fee this one time in consideration of all the business you have done with us.


 * Well, it's looks to be your lucky day. Your big brute of a friend asked me to tell you that he'll be joining you on your adventures, since you've been so helpful and generous. I believe you might find his brawn more useful than his brain, if you know what I mean."
