A Father's Last Wish
Walkthrough
Deliver a toy from Eshkan in Cobalt Scar to his child Rodice in Freeport, completing another step of the Hero Bracers heritage timeline.
How to start
Examine the disused manacles and speak with the Eidolon of Heroism to begin.
- Eshkan (first NPC contact)
Notes & prerequisites
- Adventure level 103+ required.
- Complete A Mother's Cry immediately before this quest.
- Heroic difficulty — Big Bend: Sanctum of Spirits scales to player level but trolls do not.
Steps
1. Find Eshkan
Go to Cobalt Scar and speak with Eshkan just outside of Scarstone.
- Eshkan
- Eshkan (alternate)
Zone: Cobalt Scar
2. Deliver the toy to Rodice
Head to Freeport and zone into Big Bend: Sanctum of Spirits. Speak with Rodice inside a building.
- The zone scales to player level, but aggressive trolls do not — they see through Stealth/Invisibility.
- Big Bend entrance (Freeport)
- Rodice
Zone: Freeport · Big Bend: Sanctum of Spirits
3. Return to Eshkan
Return to Eshkan outside Scarstone.
- Eshkan
Zone: Cobalt Scar
4. Speak with the Eidolon of Heroism
Examine the disused manacles and speak with the Eidolon of Heroism to complete the quest.
Zone: Inventory
Tips
- Use invis carefully in Big Bend — trolls see through stealth.
- The zone scales to your level but the troll mobs remain at their fixed level.

Quest Text
The Eidolon of Heroism has asked me to help a father now. He misses his children, and is a craftsman of some sort. He sounds like he may be estranged from them somehow. I need to find this man and help to restore his dignity.
Completion
The father I was looking for was Eshkan, a troll employed by the New Combine and a citizen of Freeport. With duty coming before family, he was unable to connect to his children, and missed them badly. He had only one request: give his children a toy he made for them. I delivered it without issue, and Eshkan seems in much better spirits than when I first met him. I hope that the Eidolon of Heroism is pleased.
