Walkthrough
Start from Divinity Coast and follow the map towards the second clearing and head up the slope to your left; do not follow the road, which requires passing through several additional groups of foes, including an ambush and a group of Mergoyle/Bog Skale sniping at you from a hill. (If you have trouble using the keyboard to navigate the route, click at the top of the incline, near the resurrection shrine, leaving it to the game's pathfinding AI.)

Once you pass the rez shrine, keep to your left, heading north and then counter-clockwise until you reach Amalek at the top of a hill. The number of groups you encounter along the way depend on several factors: which foes spawn, their party composition, and how close to each other. The Mantle and Peacekeepers are hostile to the Tengu, Mergoyle, and Bog Skale and can whittle each other down before you reach the boss. If you are very lucky, a Mergoyle boss group will spawn close to Amalek and defeat him before you get close; you will see your quest update and can safely return to Lion's Arch Keep to accept the award.

If you are very unlucky, you will have to defeat four groups of Mantle/Peacekeepers before reaching your target. The first group, located just after you pass the rez shrine, should be small and present no trouble. If you are not careful, the remaining full-strength groups can overlap and wipe even a well-balanced party. The second group is stationary, on the northeast corner of the bluffs (before you have to turn west); they can be safely pulled south, away from the remaining War in Kryta foes. The third group walks a tight-patrol path on the slope between the second group and the edge of Amalek's protective zone; you can pull them east (to the second group's original location). The fourth group is a patrol; you can avoid them with careful timing, but it's probably safer to pull them into the same spot, to avoid allowing them to combine forces with Amalek's team.

Regardless of your luck, Amalek and company should be the easiest group to defeat.

Initial dialogue

 * Wanted by the Shining Blade
 * "Amalek the Unmerciful is but one of many swaggering bandit leaders who has taken advantage of Kryta's misfortunes for personal gain. This particularly brutal thug thinks nothing of pummeling any who dare look at him askance or question his unreasonable orders. The allies of Kryta who exact lethal justice on Amalek will receive both gratitude and a reward from Queen Salma."


 * After completion of the War in Kryta
 * "Re-create this bounty hunt from the War in Kryta! Amalek the Unmerciful was a swaggering bandit leader who took advantage of Kryta's misfortunes his for personal gain. A particularly brutal thug, Amalek thought nothing of pummeling any who dared look at him askance or question his unreasonable orders. Allies of Kryta exacted lethal justice on Amalek; now, you can do the same by reliving this famous wartime bounty hunt!"

Reward dialogue

 * Princess Salma
 * "Thank you, your efforts bring us one step closer to a unified nation."
