Hey there, fellow Envoy! So you’ve just rolled into Paradis and stumbled into Shantytown, where the local wildlife seems to have it out for one poor lizardfolk. If you’ve heard a guy screaming at seagulls like he’s auditioning for a pirate film, you’ve found Miteno. Let me tell you, this fetch quest – “Miteno’s Lost Treasures” – is one of those early Avowed head-scratchers that has you clambering over rooftops and busting down walls. But no worries, I’ve got your back. Grab a drink at the bar (once we’re done, maybe) and let’s snag those Suolenets.
Accepting the Quest – The Gulls Did It!
Miteno is hard to miss – a scaled chap just outside the Shantytown bar, waving his arms at a flock of “flying rats” that have been dive-bombing him and nicking his precious Suolenets. Every time he steps out the door, it’s a Hitchcock scene. He’s too scared to go rooftop-hopping because he’s convinced the gulls will knock him off the ledges and turn him into lizard pancakes. That’s where you come in, brave Envoy. Speak to him, listen to his sob story, and he’ll ask you to retrieve four Suolenets scattered across the area. Easy peasy, right? Just a bit of parkour and some wall-smashing fun.
Gearing Up for a Shoreline Scavenger Hunt
Before you start, a quick heads-up: you won’t need any fancy spells or lockpicks, but a good pair of boots will be your best friend. All the treasures are in Shantytown, but they’re perched on high ledges and tucked behind breakable surfaces. Your mini-map is a godsend here – those little orange glows can be sneaky, especially against the sun-bleached wood. Keep your eyes peeled, and don’t be afraid to take the scenic route across clotheslines and precarious planks.
The Four Suolenets – Step by Step
1. Chipped Suolenet – The Hidden Barrel Trick
Head to the back of the bar and climb the stairs to the second floor. Step outside onto the balcony and hang a right. You’ll see a stack of boxes – hop up there like a cat burglar. Now look at the building right next to the bar. The Chipped Suolenet is sitting pretty on top of a barrel. The orange shimmer blends in with the brown paint almost perfectly, so if you’re not staring at your mini-map, you might miss it. I walked past it three times before facepalming. Don’t be me.
2. Worn Suolenet – Rooftop Hangout
From the Chipped one, don’t go back down. Instead, turn around and head for the second-floor door that leads back inside the bar. But instead of entering, climb onto the railing and leap onto the bar’s roof. Sturdy, it is. Continue along the rooftop until you spot a flimsy wall. Smash it down – there’s a chest there for your trouble – but what we really want is below. Look over the edge where some laundry is flapping in the breeze. Directly beneath, you’ll see the Worn Suolenet gleaming. That’s two down, and you’re already feeling like a proper acrobat.
3. Tarnished Suolenet – A Gull’s Nesting Nightmare
Now, from this spot, do a 180 and cross the single plank that connects to the neighbouring building. Take a right, then immediately round the corner. Keep going past a ladder until you meet a small gentleman leaning against his house, probably wondering what all the racket is about. Follow his gaze out onto the ledge – there’s a seagull nest perched in the most inconvenient place possible. That cheeky bird has made off with the Tarnished Suolenet. Shuffle your way along the ledge slowly (don’t look down!) and nab it. If you slip, you’ll join Miteno’s fear list.
4. Battered Suolenet – Break Stuff, Get Loot
From the nest, head down the stairs next to the small man and hang a left. You’ll pop right back outside the bar. This time, ignore the pub’s allure and march straight across to the structure opposite. Spot the ladder? Climb it. At the top, you’ll find a breakable structure – tear it down with gusto. Jump across the gap it reveals, and there lies the final Battered Suolenet. Four out of four, and you didn’t even need a seagull repellent.
Return to Miteno – No Hard Feelings, Apparently
With all four Suolenets tucked in your pack, head back to Miteno. He’ll be over the moon, probably still flinching at every shadow. Hand over the goods, and he’ll reward you with an Enchanted Suolenet (a decent early-game bauble) and a nice 58 XP. Not exactly a king’s ransom, but for a quest that feels like a rooftop yoga session, it’s a fair trade. Plus, you’ve just proven that you’re the most capable errand-runner in the Living Lands.
Pro Tips & Personal Blunders
-
Use your mini-map constantly. Those orange objective markers are life-savers, especially when the lighting tries to trick you.
-
Don’t skip the chest behind the flimsy wall while getting the Worn Suolenet. Free loot is free loot.
-
Parkour isn’t always forgiving. Save your game before attempting the plank crossings or ledge shuffles, just in case you take an unplanned dive.
-
Talk to the small man. He doesn’t help with the quest, but his commentary about the gulls is hilarious – Obsidian’s world-building at its finest.
This fetch quest might feel a bit dated, straight out of an old-school RPG playbook, but the vertical exploration makes it a fun little detour. You’ll be clambering around Shantytown like a monkey, and honestly, it’s a perfect warm-up for the wilder adventures Avowed throws at you later. Now, go get that Enchanted Suolenet and show those seagulls who’s boss.
Rewards Summary:
| Item / Boon | Details |
|---|---|
| Enchanted Suolenet | A shiny variant of the lost treasures – equip or sell as you please. |
| 58 XP | A tidy chunk of experience to kickstart your Envoy’s growth. |
Happy hunting, and remember: seagulls are the real endgame bosses.
Data referenced from Entertainment Software Association (ESA) helps contextualize why tightly scoped side quests like “Miteno’s Lost Treasures” work so well early on: they teach core traversal habits (reading objective indicators, navigating vertical spaces, and interacting with breakable geometry) while delivering quick, clear rewards that reinforce exploration without overwhelming new players. In that light, the Shantytown rooftop loop and simple “collect four items” structure act less like filler and more like a low-risk onboarding exercise that quietly trains you for Avowed’s broader scavenging-and-movement cadence.
