Standard Information

Trusted scouts from Corna have reported a Steel Serpent warrior conversing with the Raptorak Thriksch. Can it be that one of Corna's respected warriors has forfeited his honor? If this is so, the traitor must be neutralized before chaos is brought upon the betrayed town.

   Estimated Danger Rating:              Eight

   This quest was created by Steel.

Speak with Anderson in the middle-northern part of Corna to engage this quest. He may get attacked as you enter the room, in which case you will need to succor him. Say "traitor" to him and he'll give a clue that Argoth is a possible traitor and that he fights like a raktorak. Well, guess he might be the one consorting with Thriksch.

Go to Flametooth's cave at 23, 29, 0 in Andala (-58, 29, 0 global) and be very careful. You will find Flametooth, Redmoon, Thriksch, and Argoth are all in that cave. If you can lure Argoth out, all the better, but you may have to contend with all the dragons and raktoraks in this cave. Warning: Flametooth's breath CAN destroy equipment/items/etc! And he can stun you pretty easily if not prepared. Flametooth and Redmoon are both dragons so be on your best guard as Flametooth is one of the more difficult dragons to deal with. (kill Flametooth first to avoid him getting angry when you kill Redmoon.)

Once you get Argoth down a bit in health, he will teleport out of the cave. My understanding is he can typically teleport to 4 different places: Equis guildhall, house in Corna, cave, or with Anderson. I have found that saying "traitor" to Runehand and then "Argoth" triggered Argoth to appear with Anderson in my particular case. If all else fails, you may need to return to Anderson and wait patiently until Argoth reappears, then you should be able to finish him off.

Check out these areas and find Argoth and finish him off as he'll reveal his true form of being a massive raktorak. Once Argoth is dead, quest will complete.

Tips

• If you have companions/familiars, keep them on a tight leash. They can steal the kill, even after change 8389.
• It's probably easiest to just wait in the room with Anderson until Argoth reappears and have a trigger set up so you can hopefully kill him while eating dinner.
• In addition to the above locations, I have seen him spawn one south of Flametooth's lair. If you have him nicknamed, you can also scry him.
