Description
You encountered an enigmatic figure in the forest. He was alone, seemingly undisturbed by the surrouding dangers. He asked you to clear the way to what he called "the monolith of the old ones", claiming it would help him better understand this world. Since he offered compensation, you may as well entertain his request.

How to Unlock Unknown Presence

After clearing the Retaliation main quest, head north from the Camp at The Gate and talk to Wanderer to start the side quest.
