The Termite Plague | Tacarigua - Quests Risen 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Quest giver: Jack [#1]

Jack [#1] - the keeper of the lighthouse in the south part of the island, has a huge problem with termites. The pests are hindering his sugar shipment, which has a negative effect on the production of rum in the pirates' settlement. In the man's eyes, you're a godsend, especially if you agree to take care of this emergency.

Note! This quest is linked to The Sugar Shipment which can be activated after talking to Booze [#2]. It's a good idea to complete both missions at once.

Draw the workers away from what they're doing and kill them out of the way of their companions.

The termites that are bothering Jack are nesting in the area, just several meters south-west of the lighthouse [#3]. Go round the building, keeping to the left, and down the sloping path towards the beach, and you'll see the first batch. The creatures keep running between the cave and the boxes lying on the shore. If you maintain safe distance, the foes won't pay any attention to you.

In total, there are ten Termite Workers and three Termite Warriors to defeat. Start with the former because there are more of them, and they're not any less dangerous than their older brothers, especially in a group. The tactic is very easy - one by one, draw the carriers away, but be careful not to alarm their companions. Guns work brilliantly here. Keep in mind, though, that the workers can fight in close combat as well as from a distance (they shoot green balls), so you have to be quick and efficient.

To complete the mission, you'll also be forced to clear out the cave.

The warriors are guarding the cave [#4] - one is outside, the other two inside. They're not too much of a challenge either, as long as we don't let them approach too closely. Myself, I prefer to systematically drain their health from a distance and, if necessary, finish them off with a sabre when they're close to dying.

Note! Before you start eliminating the termites, think about bringing along a Bone saw. From each slain enemy you can get a Sickle, which may not be the most expensive item you can receive, but at the beginning of the game every penny counts. You can obtain the said tool from Giles [#5] or Flannigan [#6].
