Wayward Son - side quest walkthrough | Cliff's Edge Torment: Tides of Numenera Guide

Note - You can only receive this quest when you play as a male. If your character is female then when you meet with Mother Temaz she will give you Wayward Daughter side quest.

Note - This is a time-limited quest. If you don't deal with the ward in time (the days passes by when you rest) Mother Temaz's house can collapse and the woman may disappear from Cliff's Edge. This means that you won't be able to finish/begin the quest.

How to unlock: Speak with Mother Temaz in Cliff's Edge (M6.11).

Speak with Mother Temaz about the problem with one of her "sons".

Speak with Mother Temaz (M6.11) and she will tell you about her problems with one of her wards. Agree to help her.

Give Piquo any advice.

Piquo, Mother Temaz's wayward son who you are looking for can be found north from the starting point, near the chirurgical parlor and the ruined house (M6.4). During the conversation you can learn that Piquo wants to undergo a surgery. You can react in a few different ways (the choice of advice will cause a change in tides):

• Advise Piquo to change his look.
• Advise Piquo to buy implants that boost might.
• Advise him to keep his shins for something more useful. You can ask Tybir to give the boy a piece of advice (if he is a party member) or choose one of the special options related to Persuasion. Piquo will be grateful for your advice. If you used Tybir's help then the boy gives you 75 shins.

You can return to Mother Temaz. You receive 25 XP and an artifact Caul Shield (+15% Evasion, +2 Might).
