A Healer's Touch.

A Healer's Touch. | Ecency

While seeking undiscovered quests, I defeated a bear that had just slain a Mongol. Guided by a golden bird, I met a healer and began the quest "A Healer's Touch." After fending off more bandits robbing peasants, I learned of a curse plaguing their camp.

This time I decided to discover some undiscovered side quests, ignoring bandits or Mongols on the way to stay focused on exploration. However, I couldn't help but taking down a group of bandits on the way on my way.

I was heading towards a question mark on the map, which was an undiscovered location, and suddenly I noticed a Mongol was fighting a wild bear in the woods. I stopped for a moment, watching the primal struggle between man and beast.

After the Mongol got killed by the bear, I went for the beast myself without hesitation. I still had a rage against a bear who took me down last time during my travels, and I wasn't about to let this one escape.

I dodged its heavy paws and struck back with my katana, finally putting the creature down.

After taking down the bear, I noticed there was this golden bird who was trying to get my attention by circling low. I started following it knowing these birds often lead to secret shrines or people in need. It chirped loudly, guiding me deeper into a part of the forest I had never visited before.

The bird took me to this undiscovered location where a healer asked for my help to escort him to a remote camp. He explained the camp was occupied by people who are seriously ill and in desperate need of his medicine.

The side quest titled "A Healer's Touch" began there, marking the map with a new objective for me to follow.

I had to simply follow the healer on my horse while the healer spoke of the suffering he had seen, while Jin listened with a somber expression. We rode slowly along the open paths.

Suddenly, we saw a group of bandits was robbing some peasants ahead on the main road. The healer stopped there in fear, so I marched forward alone to teach them a good lesson. I drew my blade as they shouted threats, my presence catching them by surprise as I closed the distance between us in a matter of seconds.

While the weak peasants stood there being scared, I started slaying down the bandits who had already taken down the horse of the travelers. I moved with a cold precision, making sure none of the thieves could escape back into the woods.

After taking down the bandit group, I talked to the peasants, who said their home is cursed and full of death. They explained that they were traveling away to find safety, but they sounded like they were from the same camp where we are currently heading.
