When you enter this Shop, there will be a cramped space you can explore. Towards the right, near some lamps, you will see the familiar face of Ruddle the Traveler.
He will tell you that he is lost again and needs further guidance. Choose the It’s further east of here dialogue option to get him closer to his goal.
After that, you will need to locate him in the Town of Hilton. The location is shown in the Guide Map below.
Specifically, you want to go to the Town Streets area of Hilton. You can fast travel to this location.
Once you spawn, you will see some stairs to the left. Go down these stairs and keep going left down the street.
Eventually, you will stumble upon Ruddle the Traveller. Talk to him and he will tell you that he needs your help again to reach Hilton.
Select the You just need to go by boat again dialogue option to send him on his way. Thankfully, this will be the last time that he will need your help.
Now, you need to find Ruddle the Traveler in Harley, so that you can get your reward for helping him out. The Town of Harley is shown in the Guide Map below.

Once you are inside the Inn, go up and then turn left into the hallway. Here, you will find Ruddle the Traveler waiting for you.
He will thank you for getting him to Harley and reward you with the Scumbag Slayer sword as a token of his appreciation.
You can equip the Scumbag Slayer from your Inventory. The unique Effect of this Sword is quite literally in the name.
You can use this Sword to instantly kill any enemies that have the word ‘scum’ in their name. A great Weapon to have, especially if you face such a mob of enemies.
They stand no chance, and you will be able to clear them out with ease.
That’s everything you need to know about getting the Scumbag Slayer Sword in the game. Keep in mind that the Ruddle the Traveler Side Quest is a limited time event.
