Recently added or updated Quests
Here is a list of recently added or modified quests. To see the full list of quests, follow this link - List of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Quests.
| Name / Title | Start location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Drowned Kingdom | Harbringers' Watch | I've found a corner of Rymrgand's domain dominated by the sea. Timeworn stone structures encrusted in coral rise in the distance, and the waters flow seemingly from nowhere. |
| The Bridge Ablaze | Harbringers' Watch | I have found myself in another part of Rymrgand's dominion - a tableau of Evon Dewr Bridge, the site of Eothas' destruction by the Godhammer Bomb. |
| Death's Depthless Dominion | Harbringers' Watch | I've entered the bitterly cold realm of Rymrgand. Only by hunting down the dragon Neriscyrlas can I hope to close the Vytmádh. |
| Toasting the Dead | Harbringers' Watch | Nyvardir, the self-appointed brewmaster of Harbingers' Watch, asked my help in perfecting his recipe for rymsjódda, a lager prized by pale elves for the fortification it provides against chills. Nyvardir believes that a simple addition could make his beer even more effective at staving off the cold. |
| The Last Pilgrimage | Harbringers' Watch | It seems Brythe's sister Ehrys was among the pilgrims. She hopes I might find some sign of her within the Dead Floe. |
| To Rise and Decline | Harbringers' Watch | According to Vatnir, a portal into the White Void has opened deep within the Dead Floe, fueling the iceberg's growth. |
| The Higher-Ups | Harbringers' Watch | Harbinger Brythe has asked me to take care of a problem facing the Rymrgand worshippers of Harbingers' Watch - the cultists that arrived at the Dead Floe before them. These pilgrims have set up camp above the Watch and attack anything they see. |
| An Honored Guest | A letter sealed with the symbol of the god Rymrgand arrived for me. I should read it. | |
| The Lighted Path | To start this quest, you need to talk to Edér after encountering one of the members of Children of the Dawnstars. One of them, Waenglith, can be found at the Port Maje harbor. | |
| The Lantern of Gaun | This quest will appear in your journal as soon as Xoti joins your team. |
