Rauh Base

A side trip from Moorth Ruins: the swamp, Temple Town Ruins, the ravine and two dungeons, then Moore's last answer.

Rauh Base is the valley under the Ancient Ruins of Rauh, and this page is a side trip from the Moorth Ruins grace in Scadu Altus. It sits off the main path. The walk goes north through a tunnel and a poison swamp, west to Temple Town Ruins, up the ravine to Scorpion River Catacombs, then back to the road north of Ancient Ruins Base and Taylew's Ruined Forge. It ends with one trip out, to Moore.

Forager Brood Cookbook [5]Key itemMissablePoint of no returnDLC: Shadow Of The Erdtree
Location
Scadu Altus · Poison swamp – Leave the golden tree's cave by the passage on the right and you come out in a wide swamp of poison and gravebirds. Ride north and downhill along the cliffs on your right until you find a pale pest beside a small poison pool. It's friendly, so don't hit it: talk to it for the cookbook and a Pearlescent Scale.
Why you can lose it
The pest only gives this while Moore is alive and still at Main Gate Cross. Telling him anything but "I don't know" after the Great Rune breaks loses it, and so does killing him. Killing two friendly brood sets him on you.
Point of no return
Moore dies or leaves Main Gate Cross: you give him any answer but "I don't know", you kill him, or you kill two of his brood.
Summary
Teaches Opaline Pickled Liver. One of the seven books Moore's brood carry.

With Forager Brood Cookbook [5] in your pack, the brood have nothing more to give. One trip out of the valley closes Moore's line.

Hold all seven cookbooks before you answer Moore

The next row ends Moore's time at Main Gate Cross, and his brood's books close with it, not at the Sealing Tree. Check that you hold Forager Brood Cookbook [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6]; if [7] is still unticked, he gives it to you first. If one of the six is missing, go back for it and keep answering him "I don't know": any other answer, killing him, or killing two of his brood loses every book you don't yet hold.

About this guide

Expect about 230 hours over three runs, in a game where bosses take practice. This route uses no save backups. Run 1 collects everything in the base game and Shadow of the Erdtree, and takes about 170 of those hours. NG+ (about 40) and NG++ (about 20) are shorter runs for the other two endings and the other quest branches, with tougher enemies and some bosses to beat again for remembrance trades. Random drops and free-choice NPC kills never count toward 100%.
