Appearance

Players might also notice his nervous demeanor and the way he frequently glances around, as if aware of potential threats.

Dialogue

Upon engaging with the Suspicious Outsider, players are greeted with a cryptic dialogue. He often hints at knowledge of the Wilderness and its secrets, but is evasive when pressed for detailed information. His quotes may include:

Interactions

His main purpose is to impart lore, hints, or serve as a warning about the dangers lurking in the Wilderness. Players are encouraged to speak with him multiple times to uncover all of his hidden insights and possibly lead to other suspicious encounters.

Combat

Unlike many other NPCs in the game, the Suspicious Outsider is not hostile and does not engage in combat with players. Instead, he is purely focused on providing information, albeit in a rather cryptic manner that may leave players intrigued and guessing.
