Back in the farm[]

  • Follow her down the trapdoor.
  • Stand in the portal.
  • Use the skull and bones on the altar.
  • (Optional) Customise your interface to allow you to dismiss familiars as fast as possible.
  • Climb the ladder and run north to the wolf platform.

Luring the beast[]

  • Read all the following steps before executing them:
    • Summon a spirit wolf so that it stands on the platform (it doesn't have to be in the center).
    • The Spirit Beast will only be lured to a platform with a familiar summoned.
    • Dismiss the familiar as soon as the beast steps on the platform (here your familiar will be dismissed immediately without the "are you sure" warning). A lightning effect will show if successful.
    • Don't let the beast consume your familiar, and don't move your familiar off the platform.
    • A cutscene will play if you have succeeded.
  • Repeat this process with the Desert Wyrm, using the platform that appears during the cutscene.
  • And again for the Spirit Scorpion - the platform is far west.
  • Talk to any of the spirits.
  • Quest complete!
