Walkthrough & Notes

This quest counts for the Aiding the Sutcrofts deed. Completing Aiding the Eastemnet will cancel this quest The Fishing Hobby is required to complete this quest The buff  Fishing appears in locations where fishing can advance the quest. Kill a Sutcrofts Goat near the fishing spot, enter the water and equip your fishing rod. When you enter the water, a red mist will form. If the water doesn't have a red mist on top, run around in the water (not swimming) until it does. This is where to fish. It may take a few tries to catch the Blood-fish. For example at low level it took 19 casts to catch one, so just keep trying while the pool lasts or defeat another goat and repeat as it just a random chance. A known fishing hole after you've killed a goat is at [65.1S, 56.2W] You don't need to slay new goats while the red mist lasts. There is an issue when you have a pet or herald aiding you killing the goat as a lore master or captain. When the pet / herald is killing the goat, the quest will advance, but the water won't create the red mist and you won't be able to catch the Blood-fish. Release your pet / herald before killing the goat and everything should work fine.

Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue 'There are many fish that swim within the Entwash and its streams. The blood-fish is elusive and difficult to catch, but very large and many stewpots can be filled with its meat. 'Blood-fish are drawn out only if the waters are scented with the fresh remains of a goat. To catch one, you must first defeat a goat, then while the kill is fresh, jump into the waters. If you are quick enough, the blood-fish can then be caught. The scent will dissipate soon thereafter, so you must be quick about it. 'The goats and blood-fish can be found among the willows along a section of the Entwash south-west of Walstow. Make sure that the waters you jump into are shallow and stagnant...the river's current will carry the scent away too quickly, otherwise.' Background The blood-fish is an elusive fish found in the shallows of the southern extents of the Entwash. It only comes out when it senses the scent of fresh goat. Objective 1 Defeat a Goat, Scent a fishing hole, and Catch a blood-fish Goats and blood-fish can be found among the willows lining the Entwash south-west of Walstow. Héalac asked to catch a blood-fish from the Entwash. In order to do so, you must first scent the water with a freshly-defeated goat. Your mighty blow defeated the Sutcrofts Goat. You are covered in goat scent, quickly jump into the water! You have caught a blood-fish Objective 2 Bring the blood-fish to Héalac Héalac is at Snowbourn. Héalac will be pleased to have the blood-fish that you have caught. Héalac: 'This is a very large one! Well done, <name>. I can make stew for a week with just this one fish'
