Description

Heavens! Kala has flown off with Korinna's Allaying Crook!

I saw her fly into her den to the west. I must warn you, she can become very protective when she's in there. Please be careful, but do not be afraid to give her some tough love. She is exceptionally resilient.

Here, take her slobber ball. It's her favorite and may help to distract her.

Keep hitting him and throwing the ball. When he gets to 50% health, he'll drop [item=183045]. Don't stick around unless you want to fight him again, he has a very short re-spawn timer. (I say re-spawn, we don't kill him, he just goes friendly, but then quickly turns hostile again.)

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Test of CourageBastion · Level 10-52

    I'm still new and haven't passed all of my Aspirant tests. But, I have an idea. There is an artifact called Korinna's Allaying Crook. Korinna was a powerful Ascended who tamed the creatures of Bastion eons ago.
