Part of The Versal storyline and A Plea from Versal: see every quest in order.

Requirements

Offer: There's a human scholar named Freud up at Horntail's Cave. He keeps saying Horntail's not a monster, it's a patient. He wants to look inside it, but he can't while it's thrashing around.
So here's the deal. Horntail is in Glowcave 1. Wear it out until it lies still, then go see Freud in Horntail's Cave. But don't bully Horntail too much, okay? Freud gets really upset.
In progress: Horntail is in Glowcave 1. Beat it, then go see Freud in Horntail's Cave. Don't bully it too much!
Completion: Oh! You're Mir's tough friend? I'm Freud. I came all the way out here to study dragons, but I wasn't ready for this. Please, don't hurt it any more. Look... it's crying.
I can see the light in its throat now. It swallowed something full of light, maybe because it thought it was a piece of the old sun, and now it can't spit it out. It only ever wanted the pain to stop.
I hope there's a way I can help... I'll have to put it to sleep before I can look inside. Give me a little time to think.
