Catch the Thief

The objective of this quest is to "grab" (see also Carrying and Grapple) the thief as he attempts to flee. The thief cannot be killed no matter how much damage the Arisen inflicts, so feel free to use any skills and or attacks necessary to catch him. Pike's affinity for the Arisen can be affected by what happens to him during this quest, but it will not interfere with completing this quest.

There are myriad methods the Arisen may employ to grab the thief (Pike) :

  • Pike can be grabbed without attacking him or using spells - it is difficult can be frustrating - running is required to keep up with him - one tactic is to wait in his path, or take a short cut to anticipate his path, then attempt to grab as he passes.
    • Pike may pause momentarily at doors, or when the pursuer is within close range - both give opportunities to capture him.
  • The simpler method catch him is to attack with a melee weapon, thrown weapon (eg Throwblast) or spell - many with stun stagger or knock him down, after which he is easily caught. Another method is to face him, not chase him, then

Pikes path is from the village church to near the beginning of the pier past the Inn - he will use both the possible routes through the village, though he sticks to the main paths.

Example vocation-specific techniques

Fighters : Burst Strike to knock him to the ground, then grab him while he is stunned.

Warriors : A well timed Corona Slash will completely take the thief off his feet, where he may then be grabbed.

Striders : Use Fivefold Flurry with an enhanced (preferably Goldforged) Rusted Bow to inflict Torpor on Pike. Moving in slow motion, the Arisen can easily just walk up and grab him.

Rangers : Use Foot Binder/Body Binder to pin him to a wall. While he cannot be grabbed while trapped, successfully hitting him provides a window of several seconds to grab him as soon as he's free. This is easily done at the intersection near the inn, where he will run down the hill straight toward the player.

Assassins : Use Burst Strike to knock him down, or slow him down with Rusted Weapons (inflicting Torpor) before grabbing him.

Mystic Knights : Cast Sopor to send him to sleep or Vortex/Funnel Sigil to draw him in once he runs into the field, or Burst Strike will knock him to the ground, stunned.

Sorcerers : Cast Lassitude to slow him down enough (Torpor) that he can easily be caught. A good way to hit him with the spell is to get him to run to Iola's house before readying and casting the spell. Maelstrom with leave him temporarily stunned and vulnerable once it dissipates.

Thief Captured

Once the Thief has been grabbed, the screen will fade to black, bringing the Arisen back to Pablos' Inn. Speak with Pablos to conclude the quest.

Quest Successful

Pablos will congratulate the Arisen on a job well done and stating that the thief, who's name is to be revealed as Pike, has a loose tongue. He is a member of the Iron Hammer Bandits who have been eating supplies stolen from nearby merchants. Pablos then warns the Arisen to be cautious if they intend on heading to the Southern part of Gransys, the Vestad Hills.
