Japhet’s Folly is a special island that only be reached only by ship. You visit Japhet’s Folly during Side Quest: Rise in the East, with the goal of slaying a dangerous mage named Haldyn, who’s raised an impressive pirate base here.

Once you arrive at Japhet’s Folly, leap from your ship and cross the broken ice, heading for the tower that stands atop the nearby glacier. You can’t actually reach the tower—follow your objective marker to locate the entrance to a small cave instead.

Sea Cave

Kill a few Mudcrab in the watery cave, and open a chest in the first cavern. Slay a lone Blood Horker bandit in the stone room you soon reach. Loot a second chest here, then grab the potions on the shelves before heading upstairs to the Japhet’s Folly Towers.

Japhet’s Folly Towers

Avoid a pressure plate on the first landing as you go upstairs. Eliminate a couple of Blood Horker guards, then raid a chest as you cross a long hall to reach a neighboring tower. If you like, go downstairs to face a few more guards and discover more loot, including a locked chest. Unlock the Expert-level door down here to discover the final resting place of Japhet, whose remains lie next to an informative journal and a large chest. Go upstairs to slay Haldyn, raid his chest, and collect the key he carries. Then backtrack downstairs and use the Japhet’s Folly Key to open the door in the connecting corridor, which leads outside.

Japhet’s Folly (Exterior)

Step outside to find the island being bombarded by cannon fire—your associates are doing their part! Slay the odd guard and loot a lone chest as you navigate the embattled encampment, but don’t stray too far from the main path or you may be struck by friendly fire. Dispatch the final group of pirates down by the docks, then speak with Adelasia Vendicci to complete your quest and shove off.
