Venture into the expansive Ashenfall and encounter the fascinating NPC Vannaka, who will guide you through the Dog Days adventure in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide to starting and completing this quest, including how to locate the hidden Garou Camp.
Starting the Dog Days Quest in RuneScape Dragonwilds
Let’s start off with Vannaka inside the Stormtouched Highlands, which is located right in the middle of Dragonwilds. As you travel closer to the place, you will see Vannaka by a campsite-the opening to the Dog Days quest. He’ll ask you to find a Garou camp “under giant wyvern bones” for him to investigate the Garou rituals related to a long history with these enemies by his family.
You should consider going a little deeper into the stormtouched highlands before going to the camp with the Garou in order to gather the rare Dragon Tooth-an important item for the primary final quest in the game. This would be worth the extra work because this will save you a trip later on.
Finding and Defeating the Garou King in RuneScape Dragonwilds
You can sustain your conversation with Vannaka and probe even further into what intrigues him about Garou rituals and the Dog Days quest. On the other hand, if you wish to progress, you can go straight to one of the main areas right nearby.
The area is focused on the western part of the starting point in the quest hiding beneath the wyvern bones is the Garou camp. To discover the ritual of purification, it would be best to look for it on the crate. Read its contents and find out where to find the Garou King, whom one must defeat to advance in the Dog Days quest.
The Garou King sits perched at the top of the fabled Stormtouched Highlands rock fortress. To reach this zone, cast Windstep (for higher bounces) to cross a collapsed bridge. It is advisable to then place a Lodestone since the area is riddled with enemies that can defeat you easily. Your last destination is the top of the fortress for a showdown with the Garou King. The boss is Level 5, so come prepared, bringing top-of-the-line gear and weapons. The Crystal Bow is good for taking down the King by using the Shattershot ability. Once defeated, loot the King’s token from his corpse and return it to Vannaka for further information.
Completing the Ritual of Purification in RuneScape Dragonwilds
Now it’s time to perform the Ritual of Purification on the King’s Token. You’ll need the following items to complete the ritual:
- 4 Ram Horns
- 3 Shock Bulbs
- 1 King’s Token
All the above materials may be found within the confines of the Stormtouched Highlands and collected from Rams or the Wild Lapulis Vines. There will be, of course, no losing the King’s Token for you since you earned it already, and it will stay in your inventory. Now proceed to Lougrim’s Shrine, found right in front of the fortress of the Garou King and interact with the shrine. Choose the option “Perform the Ritual of Purification” to receive the Purified King’s Totem.
Come back to Vannaka and give him the purified token. He will give you Garou Highborn’s Cloak, which has +2 Melee Damage, Ranged Defence, and Magic Defence, as obtained from the Goblin Diplomacy quest. Thus, it completes the Dog Days quest in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.
