Walkthrough
Starting the Quest
The quest begins at Oakenshield Manor through the House Serkis faction. After receiving the initial quest, you will follow a series of investigative steps called "Traces of the Intruder," which is essentially a detective quest line where you track clues left by an unknown thief.
Duskwood Puzzle
The trail of clues eventually leads you to Duskwood, where you encounter one of the game's environmental puzzles. The solution is straightforward: move the white stone on the outskirts of the puzzle into the empty slot. This unlocks the next phase of the quest and points you toward the final objective.
Liberating Fort Anvil
The quest concludes with a liberation of the Anvil Hill POI at Fort Anvil. Clear all enemies at the fort to complete the liberation and claim your rewards.

About the Great Thief's Gloves
The Great Thief's Gloves are the standout reward from this quest chain. While they offer respectable combat stats, their true value lies in the Great Thief perk. This perk allows you to commit theft in broad daylight without being detected. It has a 30-minute cooldown between uses, but it is the ultimate tool for players who want to rob high-value NPCs or guards in major hubs like Hernand without any risk of being caught.
Tips
The Duskwood puzzle solution is simple: look for the white stone on the puzzle's perimeter and slide it into the empty space.
Fort Anvil can be approached from multiple angles. Take your time clearing enemies.
The Great Thief's Gloves are worth equipping even if their combat stats are not your best, because the theft perk is unmatched for utility.
