Pillars of Eternity eGuide Walkthrough Act II: Tasks

Clandestine Cargo

Part 1: The Shallow Water Scepter

Ondra’s Gift

While you’re exploring Ondra’s Gift, visit the old deckhand named Imatl (1) in the upper central part of the district, by the shallow waters of the docks. Speak to him about the area and the recent shipwreck he was part of. He mentions three missing pieces of a broken Engwithan scepter and an animancer who might be willing to buy the artifact if all the pieces were found and assembled.

With the tide out, begin your search. You will go up against some serious resistance while on your search in the shallow water. You’ll battle three Animats and two Rain Blights in each location. You find the three pieces of scepter in the following places:

  • Engwithan Scepter Spike: In a barrel (2), half buried close to the sunken galleon, just south of the steps down from the docks near the Salty Mast.
  • Engwithan Scepter Base: Inside a half-submerged crate (3) by the broken wooden bridge at the mouth of the inlet bay with the stone walls.
  • Engwithan Scepter Shaft: In the half-submerged crate (4) close to the deeper water, just south of the steps adjacent to Imati’s dockside position.

Part 2: Conclusion: Arrangements for the Artifact

Task Updated
Return to Imatl with the scepter pieces

Now return to Imatl (1), and speak to him about your collected parts. He offers you the opal (completing the scepter), as well as the name of someone to buy it from you, but he requires 200 copper pieces. You can:

  • [Give 200 cp] Hand over the monies and obtain the completed scepter.
  • [Give 100 cp] Barter him down to 100 cp.
  • [Might 14 or Dexterity 14] Barter him down more using your appropriate skill.

Brackenbury

Sanitarium
Task Updated
Objective: Take the scepter pieces to Nans in the Brackenbury Sanitarium.

Leave Ondra’s Gift, and return to the Sanitarium (5) in the northwest corner of Brackenbury. Inside, head into the north chamber of books and fine furnishings to speak with the elderly woman named Nans (6). Inform her that Imatl sent you, and she attempts to hoodwink you into parting with it for 500 copper pieces. You can:

  • [Perception 14 or Lore 4] Use your wits or knowledge to raise her offer or reassemble the scepter pieces.
  • Agree to sell for the price.

Once the bargaining is over, so is this task, and you receive the rewards.
