How to complete ‘The Missing Cows’ quest in Titan Quest 2

First, you can start this quest once you reach the Farmlands area. Go northeast from the Central Farmlands waypoint until you reach the Enclave rebirth waypoint. There, you’ll find Issa talking to a guard named Cobon. After their short conversation, a scroll icon appears above Issa — talk to her to accept “The Missing Cows.”

Next, the quest asks you to find the escaped cows. To locate them, head south from the Enclave rebirth waypoint, a little to the west, then follow the second path heading south. Continue down the map until you enter the Eastern Flooded Farmlands. Once you arrive, look for a fenced area where the cows are waiting.

When you get close, interact with each of the three cows so they start following you. Importantly, the cows do not take damage, so you can safely lead them back while ignoring or killing any enemies you meet. Simply guide them back to the farm where you first spoke with Issa to finish the first segment.

Follow-up tasks and where to go

After returning the cows, talk to Lalage in The Enclave. She will direct you to speak with Old Man Thon, who is located in a cabin southeast of The Enclave. Be prepared: there is a combat encounter with multiple enemies at his house. Once you’ve spoken to Old Man Thon, go back to Lalage to complete the second segment.

Finally, return to the farm where Issa first gave you the quest. There you will watch a short conversation between Stolos and Old Man Thon, which completes the quest. As a concrete reward, finishing “The Missing Cows” grants 3,962 experience points.
