Description

No rough landing is going to stop ol' Hemet from mastering the largest game Sholazar has to offer. In the wilds northwest of the camp, the jungles are ruled by the mighty shardhorn rhino. You can prove your worth to the expedition, lad, by showing me that you're tough enough to face down those powerful beasts.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Great Hunter's ChallengeSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    So y'have something of a hunter's instinct. You're not a bad shot, and Hemet hasn't driven you out, so he must be planning on including you in the hunt. How'd you like to have a bit of a competition, just me and you? Hemet and the others will ask you to help in their hunting.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dreadsaber Mastery: Becoming a PredatorSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    If you've hunted with Hemet before, you know that he's tested his skill against many large cats, but the dreadsabers here in Sholazar are different. They're able to bring down larger game than I've ever seen a cat hunt. To overcome and kill such a predator is the mark of a true hunter.
