Guide to Mirthwood: Shadow in the Night

To start this quest, you must first head to the graveyard at Brightoak. If you see a note on a chair, then the quest is obtainable. You are tasked with finding details regarding a monster that resides near Brightoak. You will discover all of the clues in only one area: Murkwater Marsh, south of Brightoak. Begin by heading south from Brightoak and follow the pathway to receive the first clue. This path will take you into the wetlands. Go on foot until you come to a wrecked wagon.

Off to the right of that wagon are a note and some ruins. Here's the first clue. The second clue is to check a tree for scratch marks from claws. Thankfully, several trees have them; it would have been enough if only one did. As you proceed down the trail south, look for a tree on your left. Approach the tree and interact with it for the second clue.

With these tips, you should now locate Markus, the fearsome monster that we are chasing. His location on the map would fortunately be highlighted by a yellow circle. As you shall see, his werewolf transformation is quite simple. On approaching Markus's location in Mirthwood, two options are presented before you. You either kill Markus or leave him.

You get 5 morality points bonus if you abandon Markus. If you kill him, you will receive the following prizes: +5 Renown Wolf Liver, 38 Gold, Markus' Tooth, and Markus' Note. Maybe killing him increases your prizes, but his rage and your early-game lack of powerful weaponry pretty much make it impossible for you to get through him.

Any rusty iron sword will do when you are really out to kill him, notwithstanding. But also, entice him into the hamlet so the people will be in position to help you kill him.

By doing these and making right choices, you shall come out with flying colors on "The Shadow In The Night" quest and unlock all secrets in Mirthwood.
