[edit] Walkthrough
Head roughly south-west towards the pool of water to find the Rogue Bull. If you are a ranged combatant, use Imagined Burden to slow the bull down while you attack it. The Rogue Bull has a fair amount of armor, so armor ignoring skills, like Conjure Phantasm, are useful. Beware of the Rogue Bull's skill, Bull's Charge, as this can cause knock down, particularly if you are attempting to flee. Bring healing or come with a friend or pet if you are of a low level. Whatever you do, try to keep the Rogue Bull away from you as long as possible, because Bull's Charge can get annoying. From a distance, click on the Rogue Bull so that whenever you're not using skills on the Rogue Bull, you'll attack it. Then use Imagined Burden. If done right, Imagined Burden will not be cast immediately; instead, your character will move just close enough to the Rogue Bull to be able to use skills on it or attack it. This distance is the maximum distance between you and the Rogue Bull. After you use Imagined Burden on it, the Rogue Bull will notice you and start moving towards you. Use Conjure Phantasm to damage the Rogue Bull as much as possible before it gets to you. In between Conjure Phantasms, attack or use other skills. After the Rogue Bull is dead, simply go back the way you came for your reward.

[edit] Initial dialogue
Lady Althea
- At the watering hole southwest of here, you will find a rogue bull. Terrible creature, a menace to everyone coming to visit our humble theatre. Here are some Mesmer spells to assist you. If you'd dispatch this creature for me, I'd be most grateful.
I'd be happy to help.
I'm too busy right now.
- When asked about quest: I'd head southwest to the watering hole and take care of that bull if I were you. Use "Imagined Burden" first to slow him down, then attack him from range.
[edit] Reward dialogue
Lady Althea
- "Back already? Excellent! I can't thank you enough for taking care of that dangerous bull."
