---
THE TRUE INTENT OF THE INVITATION
Return to Howling Hill and enter the black tent for a cutscene. You receive a letter from Serkis. Follow the marker to Hernand Castle entrance.
You need to help a soldier tame a panicked horse. The horse doesn't appear on the minimap — look around for a grey horse running wild.

Approach the horse and press the mount button to begin taming. During the taming minigame, DON'T move your camera. Watch the horse's head direction — if it turns left, press right to increase the taming bar. Same for other directions.
Ride the tamed horse to the marker — it turns out to be Damiane's horse.

THE DEMENISS DELEGATION
Talk to Baden (green armor) at the next marker and enter the banquet hall.
The visiting delegation brings a beast as a show of force — but it breaks free. Enter the boss fight against Kailok the Hornsplitter.

BOSS: KAILOK THE HORNSPLITTER
This is widely considered the most frustrating boss in the early game. Extremely aggressive, limited arena, 3 health bars, and minimal interactive tells.

STRATEGY:
- - DO NOT use your shield to block — Kailok will chain through your guard and combo you to death
- - Maintain distance, use dodge rolls to avoid its charges
- - Wait for attack recovery windows, rush in for a quick combo, then retreat
- - The fight is essentially a war of attrition — trade damage efficiently and heal constantly
PHASE 2: Kailok gains a wall-climb slam attack. Watch for it and punish the recovery window after it lands.
The screen-flash ultimate involves repeated slam charges followed by one final aerial slam. Dodge the charges and punish after the final slam.
PHASE 3: More aggressive attack patterns but no new moves. Same strategy — dodge and punish.
Defeating Kailok rewards: "Thorn of the Sacred Tree" (special equipment) + Abyss Gears "Gale 1" and "Chaotic Roar."

THE CONSPIRACY EXPOSED
After the fight, talk to Damiane. She gives you "The Seal-Breaking Letter." Read it to unlock the "Wisdom Witch" faction quest — you MUST complete this prerequisite before the main quest can continue.
Reading the letter also rewards the "Gear Crafting Recipe: Godspeed."
