Protection Money in the Bandit Camp
This is one of the last quests related to Brogar (#1). After finding out that Brogar is collecting protection money, confront him about it and he’ll tell you that you can continue the job which Dorgan failed to do. It can be started after doing Gone with the Gold. If you wish to expose Brogar for his treachery later on, tell Rachel (#2) of his secret money collection. Talk to Sam (#3) as well about Brogar and you’ll earn extra 50 experience.
Basically you need to talk to all of the people which aren’t his men and that includes: Oscar (#4), Hawkins (#5), Branon (either of the #6 marks), Enrico (either of the #7 locations), Dwight (on the road around #8), Luis (#9), Doug (#10), Rhobart (#11) and his apprentice Otel nearby. You should get 25 experience and 20-30 gold for every person that you collect from.
The only one who won’t give you the money straight away is Rhobart. You’ll need to deal with the bog bodies behind his farm first which is further explained in the quest Rhobart’s Bog Bodies. Once that’s done, head back to Brogar (#1) and you’ll get 250 experience and you can choose whether you wish to give him the gold or not. The quest is complete.
Rhobart’s Bog Bodies
While doing the quest Protection Money in the Bandit Camp, Rhobart (#11) will require that you defeat three monsters first before actually giving you the money. They are found by the waterfall, at #12. The best way to deal with them is to lure them back to the guards and Rhobart and they’ll help you out.
Once they are dead, report to Rhobart and the quest ends with 250 experience + 50 experience and 50 gold. Now Rhobart will hand out his protection money as well (30 gold, 25 experience).
Power Struggle
This quest is initiated once you talk to Sam (#3) about Brogar (you’ll have to talk at least once to Brogar (#1) first). You’ll learn from Sam that Brogar is a very dangerous man to tangle with and that he doesn’t want to bear the consequences of what Brogar might do to you.
After you’ve completed the quest Protection Money in the Bandit Camp, you can move on with this one. Visit Rachel (#2) and update her on the situation with Brogar. This earns you additional 25 experience. Talk to Brogar now and threaten him. He’ll be reluctant at first, but will back off quickly and decide to make himself quiet. The quest is then complete and you earn 350 experience and the achievement called Sidelined. Return to Rachel and you’ll earn 150 gold, 50 experience and Brogar’s hut.
The Hunters Are to Hunt Again
This quest is received from Sam (#3), after talking to Brogar(#1) first. Tell Sam that you could help him and his hunters to get back to some proper work. He’ll respond that it won’t be that easy while Brogar’s in charge, but until then you can at least talk to Doug (#10) and Luis (#9).You can tell Rachel (#2) about why Sam isn’t hunting. He’s cutting wood for Brogar. This earns you another 25 experience.
These two hunters are found outside the camp. Before they agree to hunt properly again, you’ll need to complete two quests – Go Hunting with Doug and Scurrying Rats. You’ve probably already done those quests much earlier. Once that’s done, the only hunter left to get back to work is Sam, but that’s not happening until later. You can report to Sam about the two hunters that you helped, and you’ll receive 25 experience for each report. You can tell him about Jan as well, the bandit you met at the beginning of the chapter for some more experience.
After you complete Power Struggle, tell Brogar (#1) that he should relieve Sam of all the woodcutting, to which he’ll agree. Now talk to Sam and the quest is over with 200 experience and 50 gold. You can tell Rachel (#2) about this for additional experience.
Gold Fever
This quest is received when talking to Rachel (#2) for the first time. Apparently someone in the camp is trying to make the profit while Don is absent in his leadership, and Rachel would like to find out who would that be. To get everything back into normal state, you’ll need to assign workers and hunters back to their tasks (The Workers Are to Work Again and The Hunters Are to Hunt Again).
Once those two quests are done, tell Rachel about your success. You’ll earn additional 200 experience and 100 gold, and in case you didn’t do the Golden Fragments for Oscar yet, she’ll direct you to the smith if you wish to move on with the quests, as the Don is obsessed with rare artifacts.
An Audience with Don Esteban
This quest is initially received from Rachel (#2). Before reaching the Don, you’ll need to bring him a formidable gift. You’ll find such an item during the quest Golden Fragments for Oscar.
Once you got the sword in your inventory, talk to Rachel first and you’ll earn 400 experience and a pass to Esteban. The guard at #13 will stop you and act tough, but just tell him about your gift and Rachel’s word and he’ll change his mind. You’ll also get 25 experience. The quest is complete.
Golden Fragments for Oscar
After a lengthy conversation with Oscar (#4), you’ll receive this quest, which will be your entry ticket for seeing the Don. Apparently, there’s a 
rare sword broken into fragments in the swamp. Your job is to find the five fragments so that Oscar can reforge the sword. With the sword, you can enter the temple and visit the Don.
The five fragments are scattered around the swamp. Talk to Luis (#9) first, to find out who has the fragments:
- You’ll have to give him two more
beers to get the fragment that he has.
- The second fragment is in the chest on the small island at #6.
- The third and fourth fragment are in possessions of Craig (#14) and Brogar (#1), which you’ll defeat during the arena fights and loot them then.
- The fifth one is on Dorgan’s corpse, in the cave at #15 (Gone with the Gold).
After collecting them all, you’ll receive 400 experience points. Return to Oscar and have him reforge the sword. After inspecting it, you can either keep it or pay 200 gold for it if you return it to Oscar. You’ll receive additional 200 experience for the quest and 50 gold from Oscar.
Take the Golden Sword to Esteban
Once you’re inside the temple, talk to Esteban and hand him over the sword. You’ll get 1150 experience and 150 gold for your efforts and the quest is automatically completed.
