1515 Defeat the Guards
1616  
1717 A group of soldiers is stationed near Shakatu's tent. They attack as you approach, which is unexpected since you are technically coming to meet an ally. The fight is brief; these are standard guards rather than a challenging encounter. The game does not explain whether these are Kailok's men who have infiltrated the area or simply suspicious sentries acting on standing orders. Either way, dispatch them quickly and proceed.

2525 The Cliffside Conversation
2626  
2727 Shakatu and Kliff walk together to the edge of a nearby cliff for a longer, more personal conversation. Shakatu makes his case for why the Hornsplitter must be stopped, not just for business reasons but because the people of Hernand are suffering under his rule. Kliff initially expresses some hesitation about getting involved in guild politics, but ultimately agrees to help. The quest concludes after this dialogue.

3131 The guard fight is unexpected. Be ready for combat as you approach the tent, even though the quest marker suggests a peaceful meeting.This quest is mostly story setup. The payoff comes in the next and final quest of Chapter 2, Cheers Echoing From the Edge, where Kliff confronts Kailok at the Goldleaf Guildhouse.Pay attention to the cliffside dialogue. Shakatu's description of the Hornsplitter's operation provides useful context for understanding why the Chapter 2 boss fight matters to the region's politics and economy.Before heading to the next quest, stock up on healing food. The upcoming boss fight with Kailok is the hardest combat encounter in Chapter 2 by a significant margin. Bring at least 40 cooked meat.
