Recommended LV: 8
Find the spartan officer named Dolios along the main road in Tripodiskos leading to the city to start this side quest. After talking to him, you’ll have to investigate the area for clues. Keep an eye out for the spots with the magnifying glass icons and interact with them to conduct a thorough check. Once done, report your findings back to Dolios.
Track the quest and head towards the nearby mountains. Deploy Ikaros and have him scan the mountains until the gold reticule gets smaller and turns solid. Once scanned successfully, the location will have a marker for your convenience.
The marker will lead you to a large crevice in the mountainside, with torches, tents, and other proof of settlement outside. Head inside to find a group of megarians. You’ll have the choice to kill them outright without listening to their pleas or do the opposite and let them explain. After hearing them, you’ll get another chance to decide their fate. Whatever you decided, loot the ore deposits in this cave then report back to Dolios.
After dealing with the hungry civilians and reporting to Dolios, he’ll then ask you to hunt down the mercenary Hyrkanos, the Cunning. If you track him, he’ll be inside the Athenian-controlled area of Valley of King Lelex. I recommend hunting him down only once you have access to new/better skills and better equipment. This mercenary’s detail will be instantly available to you with his location marked in the map. The quest will be complete afterward.
