To complete the Great Taste of Pharloom quest, you’ll need two essential items: the Crustnut and the Courier’s Rasher. Obtaining these involves exploring the Sands of Karak, acquiring the Needle Strike technique, and finishing a time-sensitive delivery task. This walkthrough details every stage of the journey.

Crustnut (Part 1: Path to Sands of Karak & Needle Strike Ability)

Begin your journey at Blasted Steps Bellway Station. Travel east initially, then descend and move westward while tracking needle-marked signs. You’ll encounter the Great Conchflies en route, a manageable boss battle necessary to advance.

After victory, proceed west to Pinstress’ Hut for your first checkpoint. Engage with The Pinstress to obtain the Needle Strike – a charged offensive move crucial for progression.

Crustnut (Part 2: Sands of Karak Map & Shortcut)

Upon exiting the hut, scale western rings to reach Karak’s core. Navigate using temporary yellow seed platforms – some support weight, others serve as bounce points. Eastern traversal demands mastery of jump-clawline-dash combos for survival.

During exploration, a Memory Locket awaits on alternate paths. Purchase Karak’s map from Shakra, then smash crimson spikes above to create a shortcut back to Blasted Steps. Restock supplies here before continuing.

Crustnut (Part 3: Sands of Karak from Shortcut)

Re-enter Karak via Shakra’s zone and ascend the vertical shaft. Clear western wall spikes using Ascendant’s Grip and appropriate crests (Reaper/Wanderer). Destroying clusters permanently removes obstacles – persist through clinging and leaping maneuvers to reach the Crustnut chamber.

Courier’s Rasher (Route Setup & Requirements)

Obtain the Rasher from Bellhart couriers for delivery to Citadel’s Loyal Mergwin. Critical constraints apply: The item decays within five minutes, with damage, falls, or collisions accelerating spoilage. Fast travel is prohibited. Activate shortcuts near Mergwin beforehand to optimize delivery routes.

Courier’s Rasher Delivery Route

Collect the Rasher and bolt east through Greymoor, evading foes. Pause briefly at seating areas to regroup, then ascend to Halfway Home. Utilize lift shortcuts to reach Sinner’s Road, bypass platforming sections via traversal expertise to access Exhaust Organ. Progress west through Grand Bellway to banquet halls, using pre-established paths for the final dash to Mergwin’s location. Timely delivery completes the quest.
