Step-By-Step Guide
- Start the quest by speaking to Gordon or Mary, the farmers located in the Kebos Lowlands.
- They will inform you about a beast that has been terrorizing their farm and ask for your help.
- Head towards the farm and follow the trail of flour to the Kebos Lowlands mine.
- Inside the mine, you will encounter the Headless Beast. Prepare for a battle and defeat it using melee attacks.
- Search the nearby skeleton to find Neilan’s journal, which is needed to prove to Gordon that the beast is dead.
- Return to Gordon and show him the journal to convince him.
- Gordon will then ask you to create a fake head. Gather the required items: clay, bear fur, and red dye.
- Use these items to craft the fake head.
- Finally, mount the fake head in Gordon’s house to complete the quest.
Completing the “Getting Ahead” quest rewards you with coins, crafting and construction experience, and grants you access to a tannery in the Kebos Lowlands.
