Walkthrough

Obtain the quest by entering Zehlon Reach from The Astralarium and heading west along the northern path. Once obtained, head further west across the swamp. The Great Fire Flower is not a boss, and should not pose a problem even for solo players of the same level as the foe. The foe is not in the same group as any of the surrounding plants, so you may wish to kill those separately first.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

When approaching Hatuk:

Hatuk: "Psst!"

Hatuk: "Psst! Hey you."

Hatuk: "Hey you! Yeah. You! Come here. I need some help."

Hatuk

"Ok, so here's the deal. there's this monster I'm suppose to kill. But I don't know the first thing about killing. I just never took an interest. But now, I have this stupid rite of passage. In order to become a man I have to hunt down and kill the Great Fire Flower. I know it doesn't sound scary, but trust me, this thing is brutal. Maybe not too brutal for you, but for me? Forget about it. This thing has plagued our village for years, and they ask me to kill it? I mean, come on. I need some help. But no one can know, okay?"

 Accept: "Your secret is safe with me. You do not fight alone."

 Decline: "You must pass this test on your own."

 Ask: "Once I find the Great Fire Flower, you kill it and then I will be a man!"

Intermediate dialogue

When you're close to the Great Fire Flower:

Hatuk: "There it is. Go kill it and I'll make sure no one sees."

Reward dialogue

Hatuk

"You made that look easy. Maybe there's something to this whole hunting business after all. Nah. Well, I'll take it from here. Make yourself scarce before someone starts to suspect."

Notes

• If you come from Champion's Dawn when obtaining this quest, you might want to head south first, to swing by the Resurrection Shrine near the entrance to the Cliffs of Dohjok to obtain the plants bounty.

Anomaly.The pre-quest offer dialogue will always get initiated for non-Nightfall characters despite the fact that non-Nightfall characters will not be offered this quest.
