Pick Up the Canker Side Quest

To begin, speak with Gules in Semine. Conveniently, this quest can be initiated before or after Lord Semine and Agnes' wedding; find him either while he's drinking or on patrol. Simply inquire about his former bandit gang and offer your assistance in eliminating them. Canker is your first target.

Find and Kill Canker

Upon accepting the quest, Canker's location (north of Nebakov Mill) will appear on your map. Be prepared for potential ambushes from bandits along the way. Choose your approach: stealth, combat, or a hasty retreat. While these bandits aren't overly challenging, skirmishes can deplete your health before the main encounter.

Canker's camp is nestled within the mountains, easily missed due to a narrow passage. Prepare for battle before entering, as several bandits will accompany Canker. Note that some bandits may flee depending on the order you eliminate them, but thorough combat is advised. Canker himself will not flee, ensuring you can complete your objective.

Finish the Quest and Return to Gules

After defeating Canker and the other bandits, loot Canker's body. You must acquire the Light Mace, though other loot is yours for the taking. Return to Gules with the mace to complete the quest.

Following the completion of “Canker,” wait a full in-game day before speaking to Gules again to initiate the next quest in the series, “Handsome Charlie.”
