Stage 1
» Talk to Mylo in Nemract at [184, 54, -2141] Dialogue:
 * Mylo: These are dark times, weary traveler! Nemract is at its weakest!
 * Mylo: Our warriors have been massacred! We are completely defenseless!
 * Mylo: We once had a brave commander who lead us to victory, but I fear he has turned!
 * Mylo: He is the reason our warriors are dead! He led them into a trap, I'm sure of it!
 * Mylo: His name is Takan. He's been acting strange ever since his brother was sentenced to death by Admiral Amerigo.
 * Mylo: Sadly, I can't prove of his treachery. I desperately need your help! You must investigate further!
 * Mylo: Go talk to Admiral Amerigo in Almuj. Ask him about Takan, then ask him for reinforcements immediately!
 * Mylo: What!? You don't know how to reach Almuj? Just venture past Saint's Row and through the savannah!

Stage 2
» Talk to Admiral Amerigo in Almuj at [978, 83, -1973] Dialogue:
 * Amerigo: I have no time for you, stranger! Almuj's army is in panic!
 * Amerigo: You are here for Takan? In Bob's name, of course he's a traitor!
 * Amerigo: You came too late, he has already caused us much trouble!
 * Amerigo: After leaving Nemract, he came to Almuj's barracks and lead a surprise attack of bandits! The carnage!
 * Amerigo: I was just about to lead the rest of my army to retaliate, but perhaps there is a better way.
 * Amerigo: Since it would seem that Nemract needs my army, I need you to take care of Takan. Who knows what he could be up to!
 * Amerigo: However, the bandits that have taken over the barracks will be too strong for you! You must use stealth instead of force.
 * Amerigo: Go to the barracks in the corner of the desert and assassinate Commander Takan. Bring me his badge!
 * Amerigo: There should be a way to sneak in from a hole blasted on the far west side of the barracks that I escaped from.
 * Amerigo: In fact, the trail of blood I left behind might lead you to him! You should be able to find him in the command room.

 * Takan: Today is the dawn of a new era... GAAHHH!

Stage 4
» Bring back Takan's Badge to Amerigo at [978, 83, -1973] Dialogue:
 * Amerigo: Stranger, report!
 * Amerigo: You... You did it?! That was rather fast, I must say!
 * Amerigo: You have done this city proud, stranger. Almuj stands for another day then.
 * Amerigo: Please take this small reward as a token of the city's appreciation... Hm...
 * Amerigo: No, not a small reward. I will give you something that one such as yourself more than deserves.
 * Amerigo: This is not any mere piece of gear. This is spoken of in fantasies, in fables.
 * Amerigo: Such items have special abilities that are far beyond any of the normal magic powers you find on most things.
 * Amerigo: This one, in particular is only awarded in very certain cases, and can be considered a medal of honour. Be proud!
 * Amerigo: Now run along, I have to collect my honorary badge for taking out Ex-Commander Takan.

Tips

 * To find the entrance into the Invaded Barracks, simply follow the blood trail (redstone) on the ground.
 * There is an exploded little hole at the left edge of barracks. Proceed through there to reach the commander's room.
 * At the very end of that hole, the message should say to sneak. Find a ladder and do a little parkour should make you kill Takan.
 * As the commander has very low health, avoid the bandits and go straight to Takan.
 * When you enter the command center, sit on top of the ledge. That way the bandits wont be able to get to you.
