Pick Up the Canker Side Quest

To begin “Canker,” speak with Gules in Semine. Conveniently, this quest can be initiated during Lord Semine and Agnes’ wedding, while Gules is enjoying a drink. Alternatively, find him on patrol in Semine. Inquire about his former bandit gang and offer your assistance in eliminating them. Canker is the first target.

Find and Kill Canker

Upon accepting the quest, Canker's location (north of Nebakov Mill) will appear on your map. Be warned: the path is frequently patrolled by bandits who may ambush you. Choose your approach: stealth, combat, or a hasty retreat. While these bandits aren't overly challenging, skirmishes can deplete your health before the main quest encounter.

Canker's hideout is nestled within the mountains, easily missed due to a narrow passage. Similar to accessing the Hermit's house in “Wedding Crashers,” prepare for combat before entering, as several bandits, including Canker, will be present.

Note that some bandits may flee depending on the order you eliminate them. However, thorough combat is necessary; don't assume you can avoid fighting everyone. Canker himself doesn't flee, ensuring you can complete the objective.

Finish the Quest and Return to Gules

To confirm completion, loot Canker's body after the fight. You must retrieve the Light Mace, though feel free to take other items as well. Return to Gules to finish the quest.

After completing “Canker,” wait a full in-game day before starting the next quest in this series, “Handsome Charlie.” Speak to Gules once the day has passed to begin.
