The Midden or simply Midden, is a Klurikon area, featured in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the role playing video game developed by Big Huge Games and 38 Studios.
Our KoA Reckoning videogame guide below refers strictly to all quests that must be solved while traversing The Midden, on your way to Alabastra.
It is the 23th part of our complete Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning walkthrough created with the purpose of helping KoA players and fans who wish to beat the game and finish all quests featured in it.
When you explore the Midden, pay close attention to the central area where you will see many corpses on the ground. Each corpse carries an Alfar Earring. Try to gather as many as you can for a special task you can complete.
After the zone is fully explored, make sure the following points of interest appear on your map:
–Proving Halls To the north
–House of Sorrows To the south
–Meathgras Den To south-east
–Tinehil To north-east
Now, fast travel to Proving Halls and from there, go west. On top of the waterfall you will find the corpse of the third scout, named Ariad. Loot it, and then return to Captain Drefan in Cursewood, to complete the Eyes and Ears side-quest.
Fast travel back to Proving Halls and go south until you reach a small camp. Talk to the Headsman, and eventually, he will become hostile. Fight him, and after you defeat him, a NPC named Betheli Jons will come to you.
Ask her about the Winter Fae you fought earlier, and offer your help. You will start a new side-quest called A Time to Reap.
In the same camp talk to Kreger the Devout to start an endless task called In Memoriam. For this task give Kreger all Alfar Earrings you gathered while exploring The Midden. For each Alfar Earring you will receive 1, 252 Gold.
Next, talk to Zanvil Whit to start a side-quest Elfs Best Friend.
Side Quest: Elfs Best Friend
Objective: Follow Vernis Hound
As soon as this quest starts, pay close attention to Vernis wolf and follow the beast. It will lead you straight to the corpse you have to find. Loot it and get Vernis Report, then return to the camp and talk to Zanvil.
The Elfs Best Friend quest ends now.
Side Quest: A Time to Reap
Objective: Meet the Headsman
Fast travel to Tinehil and enter the dungeon. The Headsman awaits you at the entrance. Talk to him, and after he vanishes, you will be asked to find him again. For this you must explore Tinehil and reach the northern hall, where the Headsman is hiding. You will encounter only Boggarts and Brownies in this dungeon.
Kill the Headsman swiftly, then exit the dungeon and return to Betheli.
At this point, you can leave the Midden because you have completed all quests in this area. If you wish, you can explore, Meathgras Den, a very small dungeon, where you will encounter Brownies and a Crudok; however keep in mind that you will be asked to return here later.
To access the House of Sorrows and Proving Halls, you need two special keys. Dont worry, you will get the keys during a faction quest. For now, follow the southern pass and you will enter the next area in Klurikon, named The Keening.
