## Walkthrough

* Elina will visit your Throne Room and ask you to search for Ekun. (Lawful Neutral) and (Neutral Evil) response will not start the quest.
* If you haven't completed the quest or refused it in the first place Ekundayo will return 14 days later in Ekun Has Returned event. The quest will fail.

### Find Ekun

* Go to the Bridge over the Gudrin River. You can find Ekundayo and Ntavi to the west right before the bridge.

### Help Ekun and Ntavi fight the giants

* After the fight, Elina comes running to you and the conversation begins.
* The outcome of the conversation depends on your dialogue choices with Ekundayo during A Feast of Feasts
	+ in Dialogue (Ekundayo - Feast) after asking *"How are you?"* pass a [Diplomacy] check and you get four choices
		1. "Sometimes our feelings scare us... but your grief and your anger are justified. One can't order one's heart to stop seeking revenge and justice."
		2. "Don't submit to despair. Deep inside you want to be happy again — and your family would want the same for you. Don't be ashamed of the moments where joy returns to your life."
		3. (Neutral) "Only you can decide what path is right for you. I believe you will make the correct choice."
		4. (Neutral Evil) "Enough whining. Pull yourself together."
	+ Answers 2 and 3 will lead to [Conduct the ritual] objective choices
	+ Answers 1 and 4 or not getting to that conversation leads to [Kill the giants' leader] and [Talk to Ekun (fight)] objective choices.
	+ If you forgot what choices you made, look at what Ekundayo says when you meet him:
		1. *Ekun is so tired he looks barely able to speak. "{name}".* is for [Conduct the ritual]
		2. *Ekun frowns and looks away. "I have to go. Their leader's there."* is for [Kill the giants' leader] and [Talk to Ekun (fight)]
		3. *Ekun wipes sweat from his brow and stares at you. "{name}".* is for [Kill the giants' leader] and [Talk to Ekun (fight)]
* Whatever next quest objective you get you can still kill the giants which are all over the place.

### Talk to Ekun (fight)

* To agitate Ekundayo and Ntavi to attack you (and some giants ambushing you in the process) choose the following:
	1. *"Don't let revenge drive you mad, Ekun. Killing these giants won't bring back your family nor bring peace to your soul. Stop and let us honor the memory of your family as we should... but another day."*
	2. *"Why do we have to choose? First we kill the giants, then honor your family."*
* Then choose:
	1. *"Come to your senses, Ekun! What has your life become?"*
	2. *"I won't take part in this. You're blinded by your bloodlust."*
* After the fight you get to decide Ekundayo's fate:
	1. (Lawful Good) to exile Ekun. (The quest completes, but you lose Ekun, it is not known if you could see him in House at the Edge of Time later)
	2. (Neutral Good) or (Chaotic Good) to forgive Ekun, he will return back to your companion roster.
	3. (Lawful Neutral) or (Chaotic Evil) to kill Ekun. Quest completed.

### Kill the giants' leader

* To get this objective choose:
	1. *"If only blood can douse the fire burning in your heart, I'll help you."*
	2. *(Neutral) "You decide, Ekun. I'll support you either way."*
	3. One of the two
		1. *"Don't let revenge drive you mad, Ekun. Killing these giants won't bring back your family nor bring peace to your soul. Stop and let us honor the memory of your family as we should... but another day."*
		2. *"Why do we have to choose? First we kill the giants, then honor your family."*
		+ then *"Well, if you must... Take us to the giants' leader, Ekun."*
* Follow Ekundayo and Ntavi east and kill the giants with Giant Leader.

### Conduct the ritual

* Choosing one of:
	1. *"If only blood can douse the fire burning in your heart, I'll help you."*
	2. *"Why do we have to choose? First we kill the giants, then honor your family."*
	+ Then *"I'm not participating in any funerals. I have more important things to do."* will fail the quest.
* Picking any other choice will grant you this objective.
* Go to Ruined Watchtower and talk to Ekundayo.
* After a short cutscene Ntavi and calistrians appear. She will attack you no matter what you say.
* After she is dead talk to Ekundayo again.

### Talk to Ekun

* If you have completed either of the three prior objectives go and talk to Ekundayo in Tuskdale.
	1. For completing [Talk to Ekun (fight)] and [Kill the giants' leader] you get Downfall and unlock "Monster Hunter" Ending Slide for Ekundayo.
