The Squire's Hesitation

The Squire's Hesitation is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Squire merchant, part of the To Become a True Adventurer quest line. This time, I don't want to be a burden to anyone, so I'm looking for a place I can explore on my own. I heard the Goblin Caves aren't too difficult for a beginner adventurer. What do you think? Still, the thought of going alone is a bit scary... If you don’t mind, could you check the caves out first? Just to see if there are any safe spots or places to hide, even just a little. Hehe... thank you. There are 3 objectives to complete: Explore Cave Pit Hall; Explore Goblin Mine; Explore Tomb. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Squire in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing The Squire's Sorrow before it becomes available from Squire. Completing The Squire's Hesitation rewards 125 Gold, Random Epic Weapon, 125 XP. The quest is completed in Goblin Cave. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Squire quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The To Become a True Adventurer chain provides a structured progression path through the Squire quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
