The Lost Caravan Questline

Navigate The Lost Caravan questline in Project Windless. Follow this walkthrough to complete all objectives and uncover its narrative threads.

The "Lost Caravan" questline begins with a distressed merchant, Elara, found near the western gate of Oakhaven. She explains that a vital caravan carrying supplies, including much-needed medicine for the plague-ridden village of Willow Creek, has gone missing somewhere along the Old King's Road. Your first objective is to follow the caravan's tracks, which can be found by interacting with Elara's abandoned cart. These tracks will lead you north towards the Whispering Peaks.

As you follow the trail, you will encounter ss of a struggle: overturned wagons and scattered supplies. Eventually, you will come across a small encampment overrun by Goblins. You must clear out the 12 Goblin Raiders and the Goblin Chieftain guarding the area. Upon defeating the chieftain, you will find a Caravan Manifest on his body. This manifest reveals that the caravan was ambushed by a larger group of Goblins, who dragged some of the survivors and the valuable medicine towards the abandoned mine at the base of the Whispering Peaks.

Your next step is to infiltrate the abandoned mine. Inside, you will need to navigate through a series of tunnels, dealing with more Goblin patrols and environmental hazards like unstable platforms and poisonous gas vents. You will eventually find the surviving caravan guards and the stolen medicine. However, the leader of the Goblin raiding party, a hulking brute named Grok, will appear and attempt to prevent your escape. Grok has a massive health pool of approximately 1500 HP and deals significant physical damage. He also has a charge attack that can knock you down. After defeating Grok, you must escort the surviving guards and the medicine back to Elara in Oakhaven. Completing this questline rewards you with a significant amount of gold, experience points, and a unique item: the Merchant's Charm, which increases your gold acquisition rate by 10%.
