The Kidnapped Scholar can be taken from the board after completing The Satiric Poet contract.

When Does The Kidnapped Scholar Contract Become Available?¶

The Kidnapped Scholar will become available after you complete The Satiric Poet contract. Once this is done, The Scholar contract will automatically pop up on the contract board at the bureau. When you are ready to take it on, fast-travel there and get it off the board. You can track the contract by activating it in the contracts section of your menu.

How to Rescue the Scholar Without Killing Any Guards¶

You will be heading into the western wilderness towards the map border. Here, you will find the Badaraya Sands Camp. You will want to use a mount to get here quickly, as there is no close fast travel point. In addition, if you want the extra rewards for this contract, then you can’t kill any of the guards. Once you arrive at the camp, climb up the cliff on the west side. You can use the tree to perform a leap of faith into the hay cart within the camp. This will help you avoid most of the guards.

(1 of 9) You can find the scholar at the Baraya Sands Camp in the western Wilderness.

Head inside the tent. Here, you will find the scholar. He can’t walk, so you must carry him to safety. You can either use blow darts to knock the guards out or use the grass as cover to hide as you move the scholar out of the camp. Once you get far enough away, a prompt will pop up telling you to put the scholar down, do this, and then talk to him when he stands up.

The Scholar Rewards¶

For your trouble, the scholar will give you 45 components, two Scholar Favor tokens, and two skill points. If you manage to rescue him without killing any guards, then you will get 65 Dirhams and two more Scholar Favor tokens. After the rewards show up on your screen, The Kidnapped Scholar contract will be complete.
