Main Quest Walkthrough – The War-Chief’s Trial
Objective #1 – Investigate the Battlefield
As this quest happens simultaneously with A Seeker at the Gates, make sure that you have chosen The War-Chief’s Trial as your active main quest in order for you to investigate the battlefield.
After choosing this as your active quest, follow the quest marker until you reach a Grazer site. Make sure that you will not cause a stampede, so ride a Strider and go straight through the Grazer site. Once you’re in the designated area, use your Focus to scan the area for any clues.
Objective #2 – Go to Sona’s Last Known Location
Do not go and take the path highlighted in the map as it is overrun by a lot of machines. For a much easier path, go through the ruins just to the south of the path. The path that you should follow leads you through the coffee mug icon in the map.
There will be a Tallneck on the other side of the campsite in Devil’s Thirst, so if you want skill points and EXP, you may want to kill that machine first before proceeding to your objective. Climb the ruins nearby then find a ledge where you can jump on top of the Tallneck. Be wary of the Watchers around the area as they may follow you while climbing the ruins.
After defeating the Tallneck, follow the quest marker until you reach an abandoned campsite. Use your Focus to investigate the area, then follow the tracks that you’ll find until you get to a dead Sawtooth. Once you approach the dead Sawtooth, another one will attack you. A cutscene will commence.
After the cutscene, follow Sona to the site then find a good spot to ambush the enemies.
Objective #3 – Kill the Cultists and Corrupted Machines
If you have the Sharpshot bow, use it to have an advantage against the enemies instead of jumping down to attack them from close-range. Take down the enemies around the perimeter first, so aim for the heads on the humans and the eyes on the machines.
After killing the enemies in the perimeter, aim at the Blaze Containers using your Fire Arrows. These will kill the enemies near the containers if you have not alerted them previously.
Objective #4 – Investigate the Dig Site
After defeating all the enemies, jump down the site using the ropes then talk to Sona nearby. After a brief conversation, go straight ahead behind the ones you talked to, then use your focus to find a clue about the Dig Site.
