Follow the Suspicious Presence: A Nose For News Quest

This walkthrough will guide you through everything you need to know on how to complete the objective “Follow the Suspicious Presence” of the main quest “A Nose For News” in the game Lost Ark.

In this quest, Lab Director Yulia will tell you that the water temperature in the Nebelhorn Oasis in Nebelhorn area of Arthetine region is abnormal last month, and she will ask you to take new measurements to be sure.

Investigate the Oasis water temperature

Use triport to travel to the Oasis located on the northwestern side of Nebelhorn. At the oasis investigate at three different locations. These investigations will reveal abnormal levels of temperature. I have marked the location on the map below.

Follow the Suspicious Presence

Now, you need to expose the suspicious presence and uncover the location of the Suspicious Tech Branch Employee. Here the exact location is not marked in the game. Here you have to use Magick Flow Detector next to the scattered bones until you receive the “Follow the suspicious presence” pop-up message on the screen.

Search the area around the waterfall

Scan using the Magick Flow Detector and continue following the suspicious presence to the north until you reach the waterfall. Use Magick Detector on the waterfall to reveal a hidden NPC.

Talk to the Suspicious Tech Branch Employee

Once you find the Suspicious Tech Branch Employee at the waterfall interact with him. Initially, he won’t say anything. Use the interrogate emotion to investigate him and he will tell you everything about his wrongdoings.
