Researcher’s Request is a quest in New World that players can initiate by speaking with Balian Clark in Everfall Hamlet. It centers around making a trip to the Tower of Arcturus, which is positioned just northeast of Faith’s Bounty, and fans will be instructed to defeat Ancient Guardian Regent upon arrival. While besting this foe in combat is not particularly challenging, esepcially if there are other New World players around, this guide is here to help fans locate him.
How to Defeat Ancient Guardian Regent in New World
Fans that are on the hunt for Ancient Guardian Regnet in New World should begin by battling their way through the skeletons and into Arcturus. Once inside of the tower, players should navigate through the shallow water, climb the stairs, and pass through the doorway that is at the top. Here fans will find the beginnings of a large staircase, which they should climb all the way to the room with the doorway that is filled with a swirling blue effect.

Players should now approach the aforementioned doorway, and the Arcturian Regent should spawn directly in front of it. Indeed, this is the NPC of interest for this New World quest, and fans should feel free to eliminate it in their preferred fashion. When the Arcturian Regent has been slain, players will find that the “defeat Ancient Guardian Regent” quest step has been marked as complete and has been replaced by a new objective.
More specifically, that new objective is to talk to William Heron, an NPC that is located on the second floor of the Tavern back in Everfall Hamlet. This New World character will express quite a lot of gratitude toward the player for defeating the Regent, and he even has some rewards to offer. Those rewards are an Armor Case (Level:10), 650 XP, 70 Coins, and 250 Standing, which is a fairly well-rounded assortment of prizes that is sure to be appreciated by fans that take on this quest at an appropriate level.
To note, Researcher’s Request is not the last quest that players can get from Balian Clark. However, fans will likely need to do a bit of leveling before they are able to access this additional content. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to earn XP in New World, including working on the game's main quest line, and it should only be a matter of time before players are ready to do some additional jobs for Magistrate Clark.
