Legendary Wolf Questline
Silence From Afar is the first quest in the Legendary Wolf chain under House Celeste. Completing it opens the path to tracking and fighting Black Fang, a legendary wolf that roams the Forest of Wolves in Hernand. The tracking sequence requires equipping a Lantern and following a golden trail on the ground. If the trail begins to fade, holding the lantern out and looking at the ground will strengthen the tracking line.
The Black Fang encounter plays out in two phases. After depleting its first health bar, the wolf escapes and must be tracked down again for a second confrontation. Defeating Black Fang rewards the Shadow Claw Abyss Gear and Leebur's Soul, a key item that permanently reveals the locations of all other Legendary Animals on the world map.
After Black Fang is defeated, the legendary mount Silver Fang spawns in the Howling Hollow cave, north of The Sage's Peak in Hernand. Silver Fang can be tamed as a permanent rideable wolf mount.
