Walkthrough Show spoilers
- Talk to Menahem, the fish trader by the drying racks on the shore.
- Find Halafta mending his net on the shore by the east jetty, past the drying racks.
- Bring Halafta some flax to twist into cord. The market sellers have it, or there may be a hank drying on the end of Menahem's drying rack.
- Halafta has not eaten since dawn. Bring him a grilled fish from the fire of coals.
- Go out on the jetty beside Halafta and help him haul the mended net.
If progress seems stuck Show spoilers
- Keep the flax and grilled fish in your bag. Talk to Halafta again after collecting the item requested by the current journal step.
- Burnt food is not a grilled fish. Cook another catch at the fire of coals before returning.
- The last step is at the hauling spot on the jetty beside Halafta. The journal’s guidance switches to that spot once his net is ready.
Rewards
- 150 Cooking XP
- Fishing experience to reach level 10, with at least 500 XP
- 25 denarii
- 5 flax
- Halafta's far cast: your cast net catches a little more
