The Great Zehtuka is an NPC who can be found in Jahai Bluffs, in the Garden of Seborhin (during Tihark Orchard mission) and later on in the Nightfallen Jahai. He claims to be the greatest hunter, well known for his adventurous expeditions. But his actions do not seem to prove that.

The player can discover later that he takes the credit for some of the heroic deeds the player's character has accomplished.

Dialogue

Tihark Orchard

"O, it's you again <Character Name>. You're just in time to see me off! I'm preparing for my next hunting safari...the greatest safari the lands of Vabbi have ever seen! I am heading into the Desolation after the greatest wurm to burrow the sands of Elona! I shall return a triumphant hero, dragging the carcass of the beast behind me so all can celebrate my prowess! Surely there will be a feast greater than even the one before you today when I return. Make sure you attend. It will be an historic occasion!"

Norn Fighting Tournament

Before battle: "Stand in awe. The greatest of all hunters is before you! Someday, you will tell your grandchildren that this was the day you met a legend in the flesh!"

After Defeat: "The Great Zehtuka has allowed you to win so that you do not become discouraged by your failures. Let that be a valuable lesson to you!"

After Defeat if you had a Zehtuka's Great Horn in your inventory: "You only managed to beat me because I was distracted by the great horn you carry, which you clearly must have known was mine! Let me take that off your hands so that our next match may be more fair. Here, take this other one as a reward for returning it to me."

Notes

• In the mission Tihark Orchard, while participating in the game with Zilo the Drunkard, The Great Zehtuka becomes hostile if you take his drink. He will become allied again if his health drops below about one-fifth.
• Zehtuka appears in The Norn Fighting Tournament.
• There are several items that belong to him. Four of them randomly appear in the explorable areas of the Desolation: Zehtuka's Great Horn, Zehtuka's Jug, Zehtuka's Pack, and Zehtuka's Shortbow.
  • Zehtuka's Jug, Zehtuka's Pack and Zehtuka's Shortbow have their own use.
  • Zehtuka's Great Horn can be exchanged for Zehtuka's Horn when beating him in the Norn Fighting Tournament.
