The Lost Flock

One of the sheep needed for the challenge.

The Lost Flock is a Silver reward scroll challenge that is located on Land 1 above a large abode with a fenced area right next to the crèche in the Norse village. In it, a shepherd asks the player to locate and return his lost sheep that escaped when he fell asleep while counting them.

Scroll Information

• "By the great gods, I have been asleep. I was just counting my sheep when I dozed off. Please find my straying sheep.

Solutions

The Good Way

• The player must find the sheep and return them to the pen beside the man's house.

Returning all of his nine missing sheep fully completes the challenge. He will reward the player with some grain after the first five sheep are in the pen, but he forgot that he actually has five more sheep; the player will get the second part of the reward when all ten sheep are in the pen.

The location of all of the sheep are as follows:

• One sheep spawns in the pen when the challenge is started.
• Behind the huge gate.
• Next to the sculptor's house.
• Fenced in with some pigs, at the farm nearest the Hermit's quarry.
• Near a singing stone by the sea, on the peninsula across the bay from the temple.
• Where the stone throwing challenge was, next to the Japanese hut.
• Where the sick brother was.
• Under some trees along the path followed at the start of the game.
• On the mountainside above the path followed at the start of the game.
• On a mountaintop close to the forest where the lost brother was. (The camera will zoom into it when the player starts the quest.)

The Shepherd's true reward.

A tip when searching for the sheep is to zoom in until a "baaing" can be heard, indicating a sheep is nearby.

Reward: A stack of grain for the first five sheep, and the Sheep creature for all ten.

The Evil Way

• Drop five dead sheep near the shepherd and he'll respond with "Too many sheep have died for me to make a living. I'm going to quit. You're a powerful being, Holy One, but you're not the best shepherd ever."
• Simply killing the man ends the challenge in an evil way. Alternatively, the player could get all the sheep and the Sheep creature, and then smash the man's house or have the creature eat him (though there's an extra alignment effect for killing him before completing the challenge).

Reward: Nothing.

Sheep behind the huge gates.

Sheep in front of the Sculptor's house.

Sheep with the pigs in the fenced area.

Sheep on the peninsula next to a fake singing stone.

Sheep near the Throwing Stones challenge.

Sheep in the forest where the Lost Brother was.

Sheep in the valley where the game starts.

Sheep on the mountainside near where the game starts.

Sheep on the mountain overlooking the Norse village.

Trivia

• Sheep put in the pen may not register as returned, usually if put there before the challenge is started, picking them up and putting them in again should fix that.
• Only after all ten sheep have been returned and the challenge completed, can the player give them to the Explorers or the creature without affecting this challenge.
• This challenge cannot be completed once Nemesis' storm starts.
