Begin this quest by making your way into the swamp. There will be slugs down here that are fire-resistant and the water down here prevents most burning effects from doing any significant damage. You will have to use your routing command to locate the First People’s Camp.

Once you enter the camp follow the path that leads to the left and up.

Here you will find a pulley that is near the fallen bridge, when you turn it it will make a causeway. Now go back along the route and cross over to find the Shaman and a courtyard that is full of enemies.

After you have defeated the tribesman follow the Shaman up a tree. He will have his guards attack you as you make your way up. These enemies are fast so do your best to dodge their attacks and watch out because they have poison area affect spells. Once you get to the main platform a big fight is coming.

The Shaman is a difficult enemy, he has fireball speed and can be difficult to dodge. He also has  powerful area affect abilities and he has a collection of tribesman at his beckon call. The key is to stay moving, the battle area has no cover so keep moving and pick your shots.

The tribesmen can be used to recharge your Focus and use it on the Shaman with the power stuff. Do not let the Shaman lead you into a toe to toe fight cause you will not last long.

Once you defeat the Shaman you should spare his life. He will do whatever you ask after he is impressed. Free Phineas and he will open the road to stonebridge for you.

And that is all for this quest in Dungeon Siege III.
