Speak to Daiko

Avowed - Speak to Daiko

To start the quest, speak to Daiko at the Fleet Master's Perch in Thirdborn. He will task you with locating his supplier in the Deadfall Highlands.

Find the Graffiti

You can follow the white graffiti arrows behind Daiko to reach the meeting spot. But to save you some time, head directly to the back of The Dead Swordfish, southwest of Thirdborn, and interact with the graffiti map on the wall. This will give you the location of the meeting spot.

Find the Meeting Spot

# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
From the Deadfall Highlands Party Camp, head west until you see a large red flag with a white X above the rocky mountain on the right.
2
To reach the meeting spot, go behind the smaller rocky mountain on the left and follow the sloped path until you come across a breakable wooden barrier. Look for the familiar white arrows guiding your way. Break the barrier and clear the area of Spiderlings.
3
Jump across the ramp, then turn left toward another breakable wooden barrier. Be sure to loot any chests or treasures along the way for valuable items!
4
Break the barrier, drop down, and eliminate the Spiderlings in the area.
5
Follow the uphill path until you reach the large red flag with a white X, which is Aiko's Campsite, the meeting spot.

Talk with the Shady Supplier

# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
Talk to Aiko, Daiko's twin brother, by the campfire. Regardless of how the conversation goes, you will receive the Suspicious Package.
2
Aiko will then demand 500 Coins as payment for the package. You can either refuse or pay him. However, no matter your choice, Aiko will suddenly drop dead afterward.
* We recommend paying him, as this allows you to loot his body for 1,000 Coins, earning you a 500 Coin profit. If you refuse to pay, you won’t be able to loot his body.
3
Leave the meeting spot by blowing up the nearby red barrels to destroy the breakable wall behind them.
4
As you head down the path, your companions will suggest trying the substance yourselves. You can respond however you like, as this interaction is purely for comedic roleplay.
▶︎ How to Try Aiko's Drugs

Return with the Illicit Goods

Return to Thirdborn with the Suspicious Package and decide whether to deliver it to Daiko or hand it over to the Tira Nui.

Choices
Give to Daiko Give to the Tira Nui

Give to Daiko

Avowed - Return to Daiko

If you choose to give it to Daiko, simply return to him. You can decide how to break the news of his twin brother’s death. At the end of your conversation, he will reward you with the Poisoner’s Kit, completing the quest.

Give to the Tira Nui

Avowed - Tira Nui Hajime

If you want to turn the package over to the Tira Nui, speak with Tira Nui Hajime at the stall just next to Daiko to get the Thirdborn Tira Nui Badge.

You can also get the Poisoner's Kit by choosing this option if you talk to Daiko afterwards and choose the correct dialogue options.

How to Get Both Rewards

How to Get Both Rewards
1 Once you receive the package, go to Tira Nui Hajime first and give him the package. Choose the dialogue options that lets you learn more about Daiko's family. He will give you the Thirdborn Tira Nui Badge.
2 Go to Daiko after you get the badge and tell him you gave the package to Tira Nui Hajime. Break the news to him that his brother died from an easily treatable spider bite. Finally, tell him that the package does not work and he will still give you the Poisoner’s Kit.

The Wasteland Courier Rewards

Get Poisoner's Kit from Daiko

Once you have the Suspicious Package, you must decide who to give it to, which also determines your reward.

Giving it to Daiko rewards you with the Poisoner’s Kit, a Unique Trinket that grants +5% bonus Poison Damage to your weapons. You can also get the Poisoner’s Kit from Daiko after talking to Tira Nui Hajime as long as you choose the correct dialoge options.

Get Thirdborn Tira Nui Badge from Tira Nui Hajime

Handing the Suspicious Package over to Tira Nui Hajime earns you the Thirdborn Tira Nui Badge, a Unique Trinket that provides +2 Might.

If you choose to talk to Daiko first and give him the package, you will miss out on this reward.

Best Accessories Tier List

500 Coins

If you paid Aiko 500 Coins after receiving the Suspicious Package, you can loot his body when he drops dead for 1,000 Coins, earning you a 500 Coin profit.

Not a nitpick at all, just a little bonus: If you have and put on the Enchanted Suolenet before looting Aiko's 1000 skeyts (provided you paid him the 500 beforehand, as suggested above), you'll pick up 1200 skeyts, thereby getting 700 in profit by doing basically nothing! Nice!

This way, you can obtain both rewards: 1. Go to Tira Nui, give him the package, and choose the options to learn more about Daiko's family. (Reward: The badge.) 2. Go to Daiko, tell him you delivered the package, inform him that his brother died, and that the package doesn’t work. (Reward: The kit.) That's how I got both.
