The Roots That Bind: Overview
Type | Description | Recommended Level |
---|---|---|
Side Quest | The Utaru village of Riverhymn has been under constant attack by Tenakth raiders. Without more support, they won't hold out for much longer. | 15 |
The Roots That Bind: Walkthrough
Riverhymn is directly north of Plainsong, so it's not particularly difficult to find. When you arrive, you'll encounter a big battle between a group of Tenakth and the Utaru. Help the Utaru to win and Kue will lead you into the camp, telling you he needs some materials from Widemaw in order to make weapons for his clan.
You'll need to climb the Drumroot in order to get to the Widemaw. In the main chamber filled with water, dive underneath and follow currents. You'll find Vaus' corpse on the other side, so remember to loot it for his seed pouch. You can then climb up the main chamber, using your Focus with R3 in order to find hand holds.
The Widemaw are at the top. You need to pick up the glowing yellow cannisters that they release. You can either attack them head-on, or sneak around behind them and collect the Widemaw Metal Pods that way. Once you have six take them back to Kue and prepare for one more battle against the Tenakth.
