33 Missing-Partner Quest

55 Ratford asks Nyras to find his missing partner Jorik, whose disappearance is one of the demo's main quest hooks. The search takes Nyras into an abandoned mine area, which is one of the demo's headline locations and a chance to show the remake's reworked combat against creatures like molerats, scavengers, and goblins in close-quarters underground spaces.

99 Like Drax, Ratford is a Rogue rather than a Mercenary. He fits the same scouting-and-logistics profile that the Rogues handle for the New Camp: information, courier work, and operations outside the camp walls rather than direct combat duty.

1313 Ratford is one of the field-tier Rogues working outside the New Camp's walls, in the same operating layer as Drax. The two complementary quest hooks the demo gives the two of them mirror the broader Rogues role split that Lares directs from the camp itself.

The hook is dialogue-driven and pairs with Drax's combat hook to give the demo two distinct quest pacings.SearchThe trail leads to an abandoned mine area, one of the demo's headline interiors. The space is built around tight underground encounters that test the parry and dodge windows of the remake's Combat System.ResolutionClosing the loop on the missing-partner thread is one of the demo's longer quests, and it overlaps with the Drax scavenger hunt for players who run both in the same session.

2121 Ratford is the Nyras Prologue's slower, more dialogue-driven quest hook, complementing Drax's combat-focused scavenger hunt. Together the two rogues structure the demo's roughly one-hour playable content around the Exchange Zone canyon, the abandoned mine, and the plateau above it.
