In the Whistler’s Sword side quest, you’ll need to track down Fisk and negotiate the purchase of the weapon for its rightful owner. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step of the quest, including how to get the sword, the dialogue options to avoid to complete the quest peacefully without spending any of your own money.
Starting Location
You can start the quest by speaking with Whistler, who can usually be found sitting outside his hut near the market in the Old Camp. Talk to him about his missing weapon, and he’ll explain that Fisk has possession of his prized sword. To help you retrieve it, Whistler will give you 100 nuggets of ore to use when negotiating its return from Fisk.
When you speak to Fisk about the sword with an ornament, he’ll agree to sell it to you, but only for 110 Ore Nuggets. Since Whistler only gives you 100 Ore Nuggets at the start of the quest, you might be tempted to question the price or try to negotiate a better deal.
Don’t do that. If you challenge Fisk over the extra 10 Ore Nuggets or accuse him of overcharging, he’ll refuse to sell you the sword altogether. This causes the quest to fail.
Instead, the safest approach is to return to Whistler and let him know that Fisk is demanding 110 Ore Nuggets for the weapon. Whistler will hand over the additional 10 Ore Nuggets needed to complete the purchase. Choose below dialogues
“I’m looking for a sword. Not just a regular one – something fancy with ornaments.”
“Maybe later”
“Alright, I’ll take it.”
With the full 110 Ore Nuggets in hand, head back to Fisk and agree to his terms without arguing. He’ll give you Whistler’s sword, allowing you to complete the quest peacefully without spending any of your own ore.
