Quest Overview

• Objective: Locate and return five escaped chickens to their coop.

Steps to Complete the Quest

1. Initiate the Quest:

   • Travel to Northdell Farm, located near the stream on the eastern side, just below the chicken coop.

   • Speak with Renoldus, a farmer in a red robe with a chat bubble above his head.

   • Accept the quest by choosing the dialogue option, "I'll look for them."

2. Equip the Chicken Switch:

   • Renoldus provides you with a tool called the Chicken Switch.

   • Open your inventory and equip the Chicken Switch as you would a weapon.

3. Locate the Runaway Chickens:

   • The chickens are scattered within a highlighted area on your map, primarily on the western outskirts of Northdell, between Brightoak and Northdell.

   • Explore this region to find the chickens.

4. Herd the Chickens:

   • Approach each chicken and use the Chicken Switch (press M1) to swat them.

   • Each swatted chicken will automatically return to the farm.

5. Return to Renoldus:

   • After all five chickens are herded back, go back to Renoldus at Northdell Farm.

   • Speak with him to complete the quest and receive your rewards.

Tips

• Thorough Exploration: The chickens may be hidden or wandering so search the highlighted area.

• Equip the Chicken Switch: Make sure the Chicken Switch is equipped before attempting to herd the chickens.

• Monitor Quest Progress: Keep track of how many chickens you've returned to avoid missing any.
