Pilgrims' Road Revisited

Side Quest: The Unlucky Merchant

When you’ve finished exploring the chapterhouse, leave the stronghold and cross the bridge to return to the main road. Raven’s Rill lies to the right—but if you like, turn left and take a moment to help out a haggard merchant named Florin.

Find Florin’s Wagon

Florin’s wagon—along with all of his goods—has been stolen by a group of Lescanzi mercenaries. He has offered a reward if you can defeat the mercenaries and reclaim his wagon.

Fight your way up the road, dispatching packs of mercenaries on your way up the hill you recently descended. Be on the lookout for new treasures and lootable objects as you go—things have changed since you last traveled through here. Check the updated map to quickly discover where new fortune hides.

A massive group of mercenaries attacks you at the hill’s summit. Dodge to avoid damage as you unload with anti-group attacks and abilities. Make use of your healing ability and don’t hesitate to retreat back down the hill if needed. In a pinch, you can receive a full dose of healing by saving at the beacon back near the chapterhouse bridge.

Wipe out every mercenary to secure Florin’s wagon of goods. Overwhelmed with relief, the grateful merchant happily offers to sell you his wares—and at a bargain discount, no less. Save your progress at the nearby beacon before sauntering up to Florin’s wagon for a glance at his goods.

Pilgrims’ Progress

Beyond Florin’s wagon, a big chest rests in a nook to the left.

You’ve completed Florin’s side quest, but there’s still more to discover in these woods. Save your progress once more before continuing down the trail beyond Florin’s wagon. The fallen log that previously blocked your progress is gone, allowing you to explore farther than before. Be ready to battle packs of mercenaries and spiders as you delve deeper into the wood.

Bear right at a fork in the road to discover an old, derelict mausoleum. You can’t enter the massive structure, but you can open a couple of nearby treasure chests that are concealed in the surrounding grounds. Smash the vase to the left of the crypt’s door as well—something useful may pop out.

Boss Battle: Boris

Backtrack to the fork and proceed down the only trail you’ve yet to explore. The road ends at a small campsite, where a dangerous Lescanzi villain named Boris and a number of mercenary henchmen have holed up. Evade Boris as you dispatch his men, then focus on besting the big man himself, who can withstand plenty of punishment before he falls.

Use your healing ability when battling Boris, and retreat if things become dicey. Remember that using a save beacon will heal you back up to full HP.

Collect the valuable piece of gear that Boris drops, and inspect the scroll that’s pinned to a nearby tent to acquire an interesting lore entry.

Travel to Raven’s Rill

Search the far mercenary camp, along with the road that follows, to discover three more treasure chests on the way to Raven’s Rill.

Open your Quest Log and make “The Search for Survivors” your active quest, then simply call up the quest guide and follow the glowing trail back down Pilgrims’ Road. Pause only to dispatch the occasional band of mercenaries, and perhaps to trade with Florin once more. Continue past the chapterhouse bridge and pass through the far mercenary camp’s rear gate, which is now open, to begin your trek to the Rill.
