Detailed Walkthrough

The Dragon Scale

You just entered Carnach Caves through the Seraphim Tower entrance. Walk in the tunnel until you see a Dragon Hunter. He'll tell you about an old dragon that is rumored to have settled in the area, and conveniently offers you to accompany him on a dragon raid. Sounds like fun!

Follow him to the dragon's lair (or rather let him follow you).

Turns out the old dragon is already dead. However, he is surrounded by cultists that attack you! Kill some overseers to teach them a lesson (they are the bald ones). After that, speak with the hunter, who will give you a dragon scale.

The Dragon

Talk to the slaves, surely they must know something about the area (follow the green arrow).

The slaves mention their leader Blackhammer. You should talk to him (follow the red arrow above).

The path is somewhat confusing. After following the red arrow in the previous map, follow these green ones (they overlap each other for convenience):

Note the red arrow passage in the last one, you'll need it later.

Speak with Blackhammer. He talks to you about his efforts in rescuing slaves from becoming dragon-food. He tells you how to get to the next outpost, but there's a dragon blocking the way. That sounds like a true challenge!

Go back into the cave, and follow the red arrow I mentioned earlier.

Get ready for a fight with a dragon. Xanthiar will not attack you until you talk to him, so kill all other critters first.

Once you're done, follow the west tunnel (green arrow) and free some slaves:

Proceed to the human outpost to the south (red arrow). Shouldn't be hard to find, just walk south and enter the cave.

The Dragon Scale Amulet

Speak with the outpost commander. He'll make you a Dragon Scale Amulet.

Now you can safely approach Mer-Kil, the old dragon. Follow the red arrow in the above map and enter the cave. Go out of the cave through the entrance under the vulcano:

It's nice to have some fresh air after all that fire and brimstone and scales. Unfortunately we're not done yet. Find the old dragon and talk to him:

So, the Carnach is bothering him? No problem. Back into the cave...

Follow the green arrow and enter the Carnach's lair. Thus ends this red/green arrow nightmare, and the quest. Your epic battle with the Carnach will follow, but that is another story.
