Upon encountering your first Stag Station, players must hit the bell with The Nail to summon The Last Stag - he will mention to The Knight that it has been quite a very long period of time since someone has summoned him for traveling, this will also unlock the quest of unlocking all Stag Stations and finding his birthplace.

Now head to the western end of the area where you will find unhatched Stag Eggs along with one broken egg. Head back down and speak to The Last Stag where you will notice his name will change into Old Stag, this implies that there is still hope that his kind has survived the catastrophe and has ventured beyond the walls of Hallownest.
