Balder wants you to deliver the Bekker Large Shield to the children “at the village”. It’s far in the northwest from Hernand, even further northeast from where you found Balder in Rumor at Hook Rapids. There are some ruins along the way with a fast-travel platform.

The location to deliver the Bekker Large Shield is the cute village of Grey Rock Dock on the Denn River in Demeniss. It is occupied by the Wolf Trackers and needs to be liberated (The Hunter’s Path quest) before Balder’s Request can be completed.

There is a stranger at the top of the village who will take the shield.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
