Pillars of Eternity eGuide Walkthrough Act II: Tasks

Nest Egg

Part 1: Hatching a Plan

Dyrford Village

While visiting Dyrford Village, stop in at the outside trading post run by Hendyna (1). Speak to her about the burn marks down one side of her face. Also ask her about her supplies, which are running low. She needs a Drake’s egg from a nest to the east of town so she can make more potions. Agree to return with the egg.

New Task: Nest Egg
Objective: Get a dragon egg from Dyrford Crossing

Part 2: Juggling a Giant Egg

Dyrford Crossing

Journey east to Dyrford Crossing (2), and cross the river heading southeast, toward the Ogre’s Cave (3). Ignore the cave, and head north along the river’s eastern bank, checking the northeastern banks for some dead Wurms and three live specimens to slay. They are hovering over a dead adventurer. The group of adventurers goes by the name of the Iron Brand. They are led by an Ocean Folk named Sevis.

Head north into a rocky crag. You’re stopped by a group of adventurers led by a dwarf named Norgar (4). His band of fools isn’t the brightest, but there are five to watch out for (unless you use Resolve in your conversation). The chat ends in combat, either with three or five of these bandits.

With the rival adventurers out of the picture, head northeast to a giant egg (5) nestled high in the rocky crags. Select it and scale the cliff. You can send any of your party (or yourself) to retrieve this unwieldy egg:

  • [Athletics 5] The party member must have this rating or higher to reach the nest.
  • [Constitution 16] The party member must have this rating or higher to climb back down with the egg. If your Constitution is less, expect to crack the egg on the way down.
  • Additional options are available if you have a grappling hook in your inventory. You can use it to safely lower the egg down.
Task Updated
Objective: Bring Hendyna the dragon egg

Part 3: Conclusion: Preferred Potions

Watch for any remaining Wurms on the grassy bank to the east, and return to Hendyna (1) in Dyrford Village. She takes the egg and offers you the reward (see above).
