Pick Up the Canker Side Quest

To begin, speak with Gules in Semine. Conveniently, you can initiate this quest during Lord Semine and Agnes's wedding, while Gules is enjoying a drink. Alternatively, find him on patrol in Semine. Simply inquire about his former bandit gang and offer your assistance in eliminating them. Canker is your first target.

Find and Kill Canker

Upon accepting the quest, Canker's location—north of Nebakov Mill—will appear on your map. Be aware of potential bandit ambushes along the path. You can choose stealth, combat, or simply running to avoid them. While these bandits aren't overly challenging, skirmishes can deplete your health before the main encounter.

Canker's camp is nestled within the mountains, easily missed due to a narrow passage. Prepare for combat before entering, as several bandits, including Canker, will be present. Some bandits might flee depending on the order you eliminate them, but thorough combat is necessary. Canker himself does not flee, ensuring you can complete the objective.

Finish the Quest and Return to Gules

After defeating Canker and the other bandits, loot Canker's body. You must acquire the Light Mace, though you're free to take other items as well. Return to Gules with the mace to complete the quest.

Following the completion of “Canker,” wait a full in-game day before proceeding with the next quest in this chain, “Handsome Charlie.” Speak to Gules again to begin.
