Taldahs is first encountered as the final boss of the [[Centaur Village]] dungeon during [[Harboring a Fugitive]]. The Champion reaches him after fighting through the other corrupted tribe members and can engage him in a conversation battle to convince him to fight [[Kasyrra]]'s influence or engage him in physical combat. They can thereby either talk Taldahs down completely and purify the tribe; talk him down partially but still have to fight him; or '''Attack''' him and kill him, thereby taking over the corrupted tribe.

“ "People of the harvest tribes, since when do accursed witches and arrogant mages order us about like brainless fools? Have we forgotten the last time mages experimented so heavily with the state of the world? Our ancestors would be sick."

”

Chieftain Taldahs is the leader of the Centaur Village in Harvest Valley and Ahmri's father. He and his tribe were one of Kasyrra's first targets upon entering the realm, with only Ahmri, Sugo, and potentially a few other tribe members escaping the cult's corruption.

During the events of Harboring a Fugitive, the Champion can either convince Taldahs to forsake Kasyrra's influence and purify the tribe, or kill Taldahs and take the corrupted tribe for their own.

Appearance

“ You watch in apprehension as a monstrosity steps through the door. It looks like a centaur, but carved from the same living crystal as the tentacle spear from before. The thing has no mouth, but you can see the smile in its eyes as it looks past you, focusing all its attention on Ahmri. It opens its arms, holding them out as if to welcome her.

”

“ The chieftain of the centaurs is a large and powerfully built man. Visible muscle meshes with just enough softness to relieve any feelings of intimidation you'd get from his nearly nine foot frame. Perhaps he might be scarier if it weren't for his perpetual smile and open demeanor.

His blonde hair is usually combed backwards, and falls to his neck in thick locks. His face is creased with years of smile lines, and his bright blue eyes are full of a curiosity that belies his age.

Usually, the chieftain can be found shirtless, with nothing but a set of saddlebags adorning his equine shoulders. All in all the ensemble combines to create a very "fatherly" figure.

First Encounter

Harboring A Fugitive

Taldahs is an event encounter, and the final boss of the Centaur Village dungeon in Harboring a Fugitive. The Champion meets him after fighting through the other corrupted tribe members and can engage him in a conversation battle to convince him to fight Kasyrra's influence or engage him in physical combat. They can thereby either talk Taldahs down completely and purify the tribe; talk him down partially but still have to fight him; or Attack him and kill him, thereby taking over the corrupted tribe.

To win the conversation battle, the Champion must choose options that remind Taldahs of his family and his duties, and steer away from options that further his corrupted mindset. Ahmri's dialogue with the Champion while in Camp and at the beginning of the quest offer helpful clues. If the Champion is successful in purifying Taldahs through the conversation battle, he will angrily renounce Kasyrra and peel away the corrupting physical mass covering his body. Despite being exhausted, Taldahs regains control of the majority of the centaur population, including Genova and Eubicha, and banishes the remaining cultists. The village is quickly restored through the village's hard work, and a party is held to celebrate its recovery and the brave Champion who rescued them.

Bad End

If the Champion loses to Taldahs in the conversation battle or in physical combat, they are enveloped and penetrated by the tentacles covering Taldahs until they lose the will to resist. See the Eternity of Tentacles Bad End.

Purified Centaur Village

Interactions

Taldahs can only be encountered again in the purified Centaur Village, as he is killed and removed from the game in the corrupted village playthrough.

He can be found on the tile just north of the village's center. The first time the Champion approaches Taldahs, they'll find him chatting with other villagers at the bakery. He'll share with the Champion that it's odd to be adjusting back to normalcy, but that talking with other members of the tribe helps both him and them. On subsequent visits, the Champion will track his loud, outgoing voice to find him.

Taldahs's menu depends on the Champion's relationships with, and decisions about, other residents of the Village: if the Champion completes their relationship with Ahmri (by marrying her or turning her down), and deals with the Behemoth, Taldahs's menu only includes the Appearance option.

Option Requirement Tooltip
Appearance - Take a look at the chieftain.
Behemoth
  • Spared the Behemoth
 Ask about the whereabouts of the behemoth. It's not like he could have gone far without being noticed.
Wedding

  • Talked to Ahmri about romance

  • Got flowers from the trail

Speak to Taldahs about marrying Ahmri.

You've got the flowers, what's next?

The Behemoth

In the purified Centaur Village, the Champion can ask Taldahs about the Behemoth's whereabouts if the Champion spared the giant corrupted centaur during Harboring a Fugitive. Taldahs shares that the tribes shamans are keeping him sedated, but aren't willing to kill him while he sleeps. The Champion asks if it would be possible to move the sleeping centaur, and Taldahs says yes, with difficulty, but the village would be very happy to have him gone if the Champion has a plan.

Option Tooltip
AlaruneGarden Yes, actually — the Alraune's garden would be the perfect location to keep the behemoth.
Not Now You can't think of anywhere you'd want this guy at the moment.

The Champion shares they do have a place for the Behemoth--the Alarune's garden. Taldahs is more than happy to help move the corrupted centaur out of the village. He, the Champion, and six other centaurs manage to transport the Behemoth all the way there. See Behemoth for details.

The Champion shakes their head--they can't think of anywhere at the moment. Taldahs is understanding, but clearly would like relief from the pressure of keeping the dangerous centaur sedated.

Ahmri's Wedding

Taldahs is very supportive if the Champion asks to marry Ahmri. He explains the 'rules' of centaur marriage: monogamy is not expected or requested--both the Champion and Ahmri are free to have other relationships, although she probably won't--and sends the Champion out to collect betrothal flowers. Taldahs tells the Champion to present them to Ahmri, then leaves to go arrange the wedding preparations while the two lovers are celebrating. See Marrying Ahmri for details.

Corrupted Centaur Village

Taldahs is not available, as he died fighting the Champion.
