Pillars of Eternity Guide › Walkthrough › Act II: Tasks

Something Secret

Part 1: Sharp Implements for a Small Child

Copperlane

Locate the small street urchin Gordy (1) in the southwest part of Copperlane, close to one of the wooden bridges and city gates. Converse with him, and steer the conversation in any direction. Gordy tells you he knows a place where people hide “really special things.” He said he’d show you where if you return with a March steel dagger.

New Task
Objective: Find the March steel dagger

Part 2: Bartering with Two-Tone Weaxel

Gordy has told you about a merchant selling weaponry near the Expedition Hall. This is Igrun (2), and he’s easy to find in the northeast part of Copperlane, plying his wares at the market. Talk to him about the dagger specifically. He already knows the child wants this blade, but he’s sold it to a pack of adventurers. Some light interrogation reveals the group was headed to the Goose and Fox.

Head to the bustling tavern (3) on the eastern side of town and enter. No roving band of adventurers is found on the ground floor, so head up the stairs and locate Two-Tone Weaxel and his band of fellows on the bedroom landing. You can:

  • Barter: Trade with Weaxel for the blade. He wants 100 pands for it. You can:
  • [100 pands] Pay him, and obtain the dagger.
  • [Intellect 12, or Resolve 14, and 50 pands] Explain that the dagger isn’t worth that much and settle on 50 pands.
  • [Attack] Take the dagger by force, for free. Expect combat with five foes who aren’t your usual fodder.
Task Updated
Objective: Return to Gordy in Copperlane

Part 3: Conclusion: Secret Stones Under the Amphitheater

Locate Gordy (1) again, and hand over the dagger (with any conversation choice you wish) to complete this task. He dutifully tells you of a loose stone near the amphitheater that he’s seen folk hiding valuables in. Though the task is over, you may head to the amphitheater at any time, start to scout, and locate the loose flagstone shown on the map.
