Prove Your Worth: Tuskgutters Lair

Guide to Amiri's 'Prove Your Worth' quest in Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Learn how to find Tuskgutter's Lair and defeat the dangerous boar.

Alright, so after you've dealt with Kressle and her goons over at Thorn Ford, and you've figured out where that creepy Abandoned Hut is, Oleg at the trading post is gonna have a new job for you. He wants you to take down a seriously nasty boar that's been causing trouble, a real mean one called 'Tuskgutter'. Amiri's gonna be super keen on this, seeing it as a chance to prove herself. This quest is basically tied into the 'Tuskgutter' errand quest, so don't worry if you see two journal entries for it – they're one and the same.

Now, a heads-up: while this quest kicks off after Thorn Ford, you might want to get the Abandoned Hut, Temple of the Elk, and Old Sycamore quests out of the way first. Tuskgutter is no joke, and you'll probably want a party of at least level three before you go charging in.

When you're ready to hunt this beast, head back to Thorn Ford. From there, you'll need to follow a specific path:

1. Head Southwest, crossing the river.
2. Then go Northwest.
3. Make your way Southwest again. You'll reach a spot that's northeast of the Technic League Encampment.
4. Go Southeast, the path will curve west and then southwest.
5. Continue Southeast until you reach a point east of Tuskgutter’s Lair.
6. Finally, head West to arrive at the Lair.

Once you get to Tuskgutter's Lair, head north. Amiri will chime in, explaining a bit about her tribe's customs. Apparently, taking down a monster is a big deal, like a rite of passage. Even though she's far from home and hasn't gotten the recognition she feels she deserves, she's determined to prove her strength. It's a bit sad, really, that her tribe doesn't see her worth, but hey, at least she's got you guys now!

She'll try to take on Tuskgutter herself at first, but trust me, this boar is tougher than it looks. It's got decent armor and HP, and its attack bonus is nothing to sneeze at. It's definitely too much for Amiri alone, especially with her sometimes shaky armor class, but as a group? You should be able to handle it just fine.

After you defeat the hog, Amiri will have another chat with you. Turns out, she wasn't trying to impress her old tribe, but you – her new adventuring family. Pretty heartwarming, right? After that, make sure to grab Tuskgutter’s Head from its corpse. Then, head a bit further north and loot a nearby corpse. You'll find a Wand of Find Traps and An Ancient Rostlandic Coin.

It's a bit of a trek back to Oleg's Trading Post from here, but you'll want to report your success. The reward for this hunt is:

So, make sure you tell Oleg about your victory the next time you swing by his place to claim your prize!
