How to Find the Ruck
After this, Irwin will not be there to continue the journey with you. Head to the Expedition area, and when you reach the signboard, turn left and take a right. Cross two wooden bridges and follow the path on the right side. Go through the vines and turn left.
Continue moving forward till you reach a signboard. From the signboard, turn left and keep going till you see some ruins. Take the left path and go forward, and then turn left again. This will lead you to the Swamp.
How to Defeat Ruck
After entering the Swamp, you will find bandits attacking you. Defeat all of them and enter their camp to find Ruck. Now, talk to Ruck to start the fight. However, be careful, as he is aggressive and deals a lot of damage.
To defeat Ruck, keep your distance from him and use any ranged weapon. If he gets close to you, then he can hit you. As Ruck doesn’t parry much, you can use the opening to hit him. Use the healing items whenever your health goes down.
Ruck will taunt a lot, which will give you many openings to attack him. After defeating him, loot his body to get the Stolen Letter and some other useful items. Now, return to Kurt and hand him the letter. After reading the letter, the leader will ask you to return to the city and find a man named Denesh.
