In Black Desert Online (PC) there’s a fun event starting on April 1st, where you defend a lying shepherd boy against wolves and might end up being killed by a little lamb. Additionally, there will be an Easter egg hunt.
The old fable “The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf” tells the story of a young shepherd who doesn’t get enough attention. He loudly calls out that a wolf is attacking the flock, even though there is no such beast present. The villagers, who come to help every time, eventually get so annoyed that they stop responding.
Bad for the boy, because eventually, a wolf actually comes and eats the rascal along with his sheep. The moral of the story is the famous words “Whoever lies once, will not be believed even if he speaks the truth!”
Protect the lying shepherd boy!
The unfortunate shepherd boy is also present in Black Desert Online on the Flemehügel. He is causing trouble by continually calling wolf alarms. But unlike in the fable, you should really check every time. Because if wolves actually appear, big loot awaits you!
However, the wolves are not easy opponents, and every sheep they take decreases your loot.
- 30-20 surviving sheep: Huge treasure chest
- 19-10 surviving sheep: Large treasure chest
- 9-1 surviving sheep: Medium treasure chest
- No surviving sheep: Nothing!
If you fend off all the wolves, a big werewolf will appear as the final boss.
Beware of the little lamb!
But it gets worse: Once you open the reward chest, there might be another danger lurking. Moppel, the cute little lamb of the shepherd boy, might transform from “Friendly” to “Secretly unfriendly” and backstab you.
If you defeat the lamb, you’ll receive even more loot in the form of black crystal shards and memory fragments. The event runs until April 4, 2018.
Egg Hunt for Loot!
Until April 11, 2018, there’s the event “Egg Hunt”. Monsters or fish from the fishing mini-game can drop so-called “Flondor Goose Eggs”. You can then exchange the eggs for a special black spirit goose egg, which generates a 30-minute buff. Alternatively, you can trade the eggs for decoration with NPCs.
There are also special quests and a daily quest that you receive from the black spirit. The daily quest rewards a particularly valuable golden goose egg. This egg can contain, among other things, black crystal shards, weapon boxes, and jewelry.
The egg hunt is definitely worth it!
