In the sprawling realms of Throne and Liberty, where every corner hides a secret and every quest tells a story, the Codex serves as a faithful companion. Among its many entries, the Exploration section beckons adventurers with side quests that often lead to unexpected challenges and rewards. One such quest, "Friend of Morokai the Turncoat," waits in the shadowy depths of the Carmine Forest. But what does it take to complete this task? And what treasures lie at its end?
To even begin this quest, the adventurer must first activate the Waystone in the Carmine Forest. This pivotal action unlocks a plethora of regional quests, including the one that pits them against the dreaded Queen Blood Spider. Once the Waystone hums with energy, the quest appears in the Codex, ready to be undertaken.

The quest presents two clear objectives:
-
π Collect a page of Collection: About Morokai
-
π·οΈ Defeat Queen Blood Spider
Simple enough, right? Yet the path is fraught with danger. The first objective requires finding a specific page, and the second demands a battle against a formidable foe.

Heading south of the Carmine Forest Waypoint, a blue circle appears on the map, marking the area of interest. Another circle lies slightly to the west, but the southern spot offers the quickest route to completion. Upon arrival, the Queen Blood Spider herself can be seen, surrounded by her skittering minions. Should the adventurer charge in blindly? Absolutely not. Patience is key.
Instead of engaging immediately, the wise hero scans the surroundings. There, perched on a rock overlooking the Queen's domain, lies a page of Collection: About Morokai. It's an easy grab, but one must be careful not to draw unwanted attention.

With the page secured, the first objective is complete. Now comes the real test: defeating the Queen Blood Spider. What makes this fight particularly tricky? The Queen is not alone; her minions swarm around her, ready to overwhelm the unprepared. The smart approach is to use a ranged attack to lure the Queen away from her brood, isolating her for a one-on-one duel. Alternatively, one could clear out the smaller spiders first, reducing the chaos before focusing on the big one.
The Queen herself possesses devastating attacks. Her Leaping Strike is especially dangerous, dealing significant damage while knocking the player down and stunning them. A well-timed roll or defensive skill can mean the difference between victory and a swift demise. It's also wise to stock up on Recovery Crystals before the fight, as they provide crucial healing when things go south.
Here are some essential tips for the battle:
| Tip | Description |
|---|---|
| π― Use ranged attacks | Pull the Queen away from her minions for an isolated fight. |
| πΈοΈ Clear minions first | Eliminate smaller spiders to reduce incoming damage. |
| π‘οΈ Defensive moves | Block or dodge her Leaping Strike to avoid knockdown and stun. |
| π Recovery Crystals | Keep healing items ready for emergency health restoration. |
| π Roll away | When she lunges, roll out of the way to avoid damage. |
As long as the adventurer keeps pressing the attack with their skills, uses defensive moves, and rolls out of the way when the Queen prepares to lunge, she will eventually fall. The battle is intense, but not insurmountable.
Upon defeat, the Queen Blood Spider yields a generous bounty. Players receive a good amount of rewards, including a special Morph that can be equipped. This Morph is not just a cosmetic trophy; it's a valuable asset for future adventures. So, is the quest worth the effort? Absolutely.
In the end, "Friend of Morokai the Turncoat" is a quintessential Throne and Liberty side quest: a mix of exploration, combat, and reward. It challenges the player to think strategically, fight skillfully, and reap the benefits. So, the next time the Codex beckons with this quest, will the adventurer answer the call? The Queen Blood Spider awaits.
