Follow this guide to complete Boddyknock's Tale in Neverwinter. Hire Boddyknock, find the Leaven Bread recipe, and claim your rewards!

Alright, let's get Boddyknock's Tale sorted out! This is a pretty straightforward quest that mostly involves talking to your henchman and fetching an item for him. It's a good way to get a little extra XP and a nice ring.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head over to the Trade of Blades. You're looking for a guy named Boddyknock.
  2. 2
    When you find him, you'll need to hire him as your henchman. This will cost you 200 gold. Keep in mind, if you've got some decent persuasion skills, you might be able to talk him down to a lower price!
  3. 3
    After you've hired him, chat with Boddyknock again. Select the dialogue option "I just want to talk", and then choose "Tell me about yourself". This is where he'll start sharing his story.
  4. 4
    Now, here's a little something to keep in mind: to get the *full* story from Boddyknock, you'll generally want to be around level 6. If you're not quite there yet, don't worry. Your journal will let you know that he'll tell you more when you've gained more experience. So, after you level up, make sure to talk to him again to progress his tale.
  5. 5
    Eventually, Boddyknock will ask you to find a Leaven Bread recipe for him.
  6. 6
    The recipe is located in the Beggar's Nest, specifically within the Barricaded Home. Don't stress about finding it – there's a pin on your map pointing you right to it, just above the entrance to the Beggar's Nest.
  7. 7
    You'll find the recipe on a dead NPC named Baker Siril. Just grab it from him.
  • Once you bring the recipe back to Boddyknock, he'll reward you with 100 XP and a Lantanese Ring +1. This ring gives you a +1 bonus to Charisma and +1 Regeneration. Pretty neat!
Tips
  • Don't forget to check back with Boddyknock after each level-up if you're below level 6. It's easy to miss out on the full dialogue if you don't.
  • The persuasion check to lower Boddyknock's hiring cost can be really helpful if you're low on gold early on.
