Walkthrough in Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire is covered on this page.

Walkthrough

In the first PoE game, you ruled a castle named Caed Nua. However, when Eothas, god of light, awakened at the beginning of PoE 2, your castle was destroyed. 

You can import your save from PoE, if you don't have a save. You can edit your Pillar of Eternity history before you leave in-between. (Talk to Pallid Knight, You can choose Benevolent Soul, Fair and Balanced, Survival of the Fittest, Dark Times, Keeper of Secrets,  Everything bad as your PoE history. Each background you pledged to a different god except Everything Bad history, granting different bonuses.) You can create your character when you talk to the Pallid Knight, see Character Creation for more information.

When you wake up, talk to Edér and Steward of the situation. Before you go to face the pirates, you can find some equipment inside a wardrobe. (depends on your Classes and weapon proficiency)

A storm hit the ship after the pirated been defeated, knock you unconscious and send you to Vilario's Rest. (you can chose to save a crew of yours or a crate from Caed Nua during the storm)

There are 3 quests available when you arrived the island: To Hunt a God, Helping Hands, Stranded. But before you explore the area, you should equip your Pets first. (Pets can be seen as a special type of equipment, grant party wide bonus.) Talk to Edér, and decide his class. (Fighter, Rogue or Swashbuckler)

Explore the beach, you can find lots of lootable objects and some souls. (you can use TAB to highlight objects) Asking a soul to merge with you will give you some XP. 

One of the Crew, Irrena, can be found on the deck of Defiant. To get there, you need to pass Athletics check or use Rope and Grappling Hook. You can carry her back to the beach if you have 15 might and 2 Athletics, if not you need to have 2 survival skills to help her. Another crew Chitupec can be found at the north of the beach, he's been attacked by a boar so prepared for a fight. Eld Engrim can be found on a road leading east. He also gives you some clue about fixing your ship. (quest Stranded)

Beodul can be found inside Sea Cave, surrounded by some traps. Help him get rid of the traps and he will wait you outside. There are lots of enemies in the cave (skeleton, spider, construct, bat etc.), if you feel the fight is too hard or your health is too low. You can use some food to rest. If you have high Athletics skill, you can use the Underwater Passage to reach the northwest corner of the Vilario's Rest.

To repair the ship, you need to seek help from locals. Leave Vilario's Rest and head for Port Maje. Before you reach there, you will encounter some farmers on the road (Ilonet's Fork), help them and you can get some coins and reputation. There's some lootable objects on world map too so don't miss them.

The governor of Port Maje will ask you to do him a favor before he helps you repair the ship. But before you help him, you can explore Port Maje first, there's a potential companion Xoti can join your team, along with some minor tasks:

• Burning Bridges - Help Rinco get his money back from a Huana women, you can find her at Satahuzi. After you hear another part of the story, decide what to do then back to Rinco.
•  Restoring Order - Help Savia at Port Meja Prison tp restore the order. Travel to Gorecci Street and take care of Ilari.
• The Better Men - Help the innkeeper to get rid of Galian.

Vist Rinco's House, Port Maje Prison and Kraken's Eye to get these tasks. After you complete them, venturing forth to Engwithan Digsite.

If you explore the island, you may find a Burial Site to the west of Port Maje, if you spend some hours explore the area you may get some fine equipment. To the east of Port Maje, there is Old Battle Ground, you can try to explore it for equipment.

If you entered Upoho Wharo Woods, you will find an old druid and some boars. If you convince him you mean no harm and just need some help to pass the woods, he will give you the Wise Teeth Necklace.

Whakura Pass has some traps set by xurips, disarm them with Mechanics skills. You can ambush the xurips later for more gain, and if you are Cipher, you can turn xurips fight each other and gain XP and coins without a fight.

Engwithan Digsite is a place with many sub-areas, like Ancient Training Hall, Foreman's Quarters, and Luminous Adra Pool. There are some enemies in these subareas as well as lootable.

At the bottom of the Arena, there are some panthers. Kill them and free the researchers in the cage nearby, you will learn what happened here and find potential companion Aloth.

Arena Sub-Level is filled with skeletons, wisps and constructs. If you find them to hard to handle, you can use the gunpowder barrel to wipe them out. (by luring them to gunpowder then light them up. Just be careful dont stand too close to the barrels.)

There is a puzzle in a room called Trial of Flame, to put out fire, you need to activate three sigils on the ground that matched the shields in previous room. (the correct sigils are top-left, top-right and bottom-left)

Oderisi's remain's can be found in front of the Pillar of Adra. Once you touched the pillar of adra, you will be connect to Eothas. However at this point you can do nothing to stop him. When you leave the area after you activate the pillar, a group of souls will appear, asking for help. (Help them earns you reputation of Xoti, and some XP)

 Return to Governor Clario, you can decide to give him the note of Oderisi or not. Either way, he will help you repair the ship and instruct you travel to Neketaka. (Before you set sail, remember to buy some supplies like food and water, medical supplies and repair supplies. Remember your crew will consume foods and water daily. Also, you may want to recruit 4 crews before you leave. You need to pay their wages so don't spend all your money!)

Note: There is a rice farm at the south of the island, you can buy cheap rice there.

Once you repaired the Defiant, you will recieve 2 new tasks: Skeleton Crew and Basic Provisions. You can hire the crew and purchase the supplies at Port Maje. If you have a lot of coins to spare, you can free Rum-Dumb Riggere in the prison (The Drunk Sailor), he is a seasoned Deckhand.

A World Map:

A strange ship will approach you the first time you set sail, it's captain wants you to hunt the pirates for him. His lieutenant, Serafen, is a potential companion of yours. (Cipher/Barbarian/Witch)

Tip: Traveling on sea can be dangerous. Especially when your ship is not upgraded. After you leave Port Maje, sail north to Neketaka first, if you try to explore west you may be caught by fast pirate Dhows. (You can hunt and defeat these pirates later for Bounty Tasks.)

After you activate the first pillar, one night at sea you will have a strange dream. In this dream, some gods will communicate with you and urges you to find Eothas and what he is up to.

Note: On the island west to the Port Meja, you can find Meryel the Mad, she is wanted for Bounty - Meryel the Mad. 

There is an unnamed island between Neketaka and Port Meja, on it is the Cavern of Xaur Tuk-Tuk. To explore the island you need to fight some xaurips and Desert Wurms etc in 2 encounters (Howling Gorge and Broken Spear Pass). Once you clear the Cavern of xaurips, you can save a high rank xaurip, Mother Sharp-Rock, she will follow you afterwards. Explore the ruined tower can find some supplies. (once you explore the whole island, you can name it.)

The first time you reached Neketaka, a harbor master will appear and question the nature of your visit. In reaction to her unfriendly manner, you can scare them off with the help of Pallid Knight - the goddes of death.

There's lots of merchants in Queen's Berth, as well as quests. If you have enough coin to spare, upgrade your equipment here. Also, you can buy bigger ships and all kinds of ship equipment from shipwright. (He also gives quest The Shipwright's Plight, finish it first to recieve a discount.)

Near the Sanza's Map Emporium doorstep you meet Nera Bardatto, she is searching for her brother. Larro Bardatto can be found behind distract's waterfall. However, he is engaged in duel with Orso Valera. Settle the conflict, then head back to Bardatto estate. (you will also get the quest Family Pride.)

Nera Bardatto will reward you, speak to her mother to get next quest A Sinking Feeling. (if you have high perception, you can peak her documents when you talk to Ezzali Bardatto.)

Both quests lead you to Zili Valera, he is playing flute around one of the local watchtowers.

From Zili Valera, you learn that Persa is in charge of the plot. She can be found in The Gullet tavern. Take care of her and her guards, then report to Ezzali Bardatto. (the quest A Sinking Feeling is complete here. the rest is Family Pride) Ezzali wants you to guard the vault, speak with Captain Vilami and wait for thieves. Deal with the thieves, then report to her. She gives you another job to kill Valera. Alternatively, you can visit Valera family and persuade them to abandon the plot. This way you can arrange the two families to have a truce. Otherwise, you will have to kill one family leader to complete the quest. You can also switch side and kill Ezzali. Either way the quest is complete.
 

 

In front of Vailian Trading Company Headquarters, Tawenu wants you to deal with the land contract between locals and the VTC. Listen to him and learn his situation. If you agree to intervene, you need to talk to Luca inside the Headquarters. (you can only enter the HQ in daytime)

Luca, on the other hand, told you Tawenu used forged papers in order to get the land back. You can persuade Luca to nullify the contract with diplomacy skills, or you can steal the original contract from the archive room in headquarter building. (you can find this information catching Luca in the local tavern drinking)

You can also aid Luca to get rid of Tawenu by persuading Tawenu to leave. Remember don't try to kill Luca or Tawenu otherwise this matter cant be solved legally. After the issue is settled, return to Tawenu or Luca for reward.

The governor of VTC will give you the quest Storm of Poko Kohara, but this quest will need to you leave the city so you can do it later.

You may also want to visit Drowned Barrows before you sail to Ukaizo. It's on an island at 8 N 36 E. Northwest to the Ori o Koīki. (See our Locations.) You will recieve two quests there: Nemnok the Devourer and  The Lost Grimoires.

The easiest ally you can get is Huana, since they have fewer quests. Vailian Trading Company and Royal Deadfire Company's quests require you to take hostile actions against another. In Principi quest line, you need to choose sides between Aeldys and Furrante. (you can also get a special carrack in Principi line, but it's not as good as a fully upgraded Junk.)

If you ally with Royal Deadfire Company, you will get the Blade of Takōwa, a Rauatai submarine. 

Once you make an ally, or you are ready to across the storm yourself.(you need high ranked crews as well) Sail to the Ondra's Mortar at the northeast part of the archipelago. Sail across the Magran's teeth to reach there. ( you need high rank of crews to help you across the storm. Otherwise, your ship may suffer too much damage and destoryed. ) 

If you allied with one of the four factions, you need to defeat the rival faction's fleet before you enter the storm. There will be 2-3 battles in a row. If your ships' health dropped too low, it may not survive the storm. However, if you help the dragon in the quest The Shadow Under Neketaka, it will help you now. Once you acrossed the strom you reached Ukaizo.

(Note this game does not allow you to keep playing after you reached Ukaizo. If you want to achieve a satifying ending, complete the sidequests before you across the storm.)

The Guardian of Ukaizo is an adra construct dragon with three heads. At first, it will summon some construct enemies to join the fight. Once you damaged it to less than half HP it will summon the second head and regain some health. When it is near death, the third head will attach to it and restore its full health. You need to prepare some high penetration weapons in order win this fight.

In order to reach Moi Gweath , you need to shut down the machine at Ondra's Spire, then take the stairs at Grand Promenade.

Depend on which faction you allied with, you will meet different group of enemies at Grand Promenade. (Principi if you sail here alone.) Defeat them to proceed.

Confront Eothas at Moi Gweath, then chose what you suggest him to do.

The first quest of The Forgotten Sanctum DLC, Hidden Depths, can only be acquired when you sailing on the sea. (the chance of this random encounter is not very high so you may need to sail for some time.) After the meeting with Llengrath, travel to Hall of the Unseen (On an island of the southeast region of Deadfire archipelago, see Locations if you don't know where it is), in the center chamber, you will meet Llengrath again, follow her to the Temple of Revelation.

The Central Stacks

Enter the central stacks, the librarians here will tell you about Maura and how she was chased by one masked wizard. You can explore this area peacefully. But steal books will turn librarians hostile. (you can distract them first then steal the books. They won't attack you as long as you are not caught.)

In the Catalog Room, you will find Infested (pet) and Catalog Record: Bekarna's Celestial Grimoire (Wasting Minds).

To open the door to Restricted Section, you need to place 2 books on the indentations. See below:

The masked wizard will turn on you next, and he can use environment mechanics to attack you, so stay alert and keep your group away from the energy beam. After you destroyed the two power conduit on the west and east, Fyonlecg will join the fight himself. Be careful he can summon tentacles and mirrored souls.

After you defeated Fyonlecg,v you can find the book Maura was looking for at bookshelf near her body. If you have Bekarna's grimoire, you can place it on the table of chief librarian's room in midnight. (For A Rising Star. You can come back later for this quest.)

Open it to find The Weyc's Oracular Focus (legendary small shield). If you dont have the required item dont worry, you will revisit this place later.

If you already explored both collection and library, you can now use the key you get at The Assembly of Echoes to interact with the machine in the middle. You need to sacrifice the memory to use this machine to reveal the stairs to The Upper Bowels.

If you haven't explored both locations, back to Temple of Revelation and head to another area.

Once you sabotaged all three bile conduit, descend to The Heart of Mystery.

 

The Heart of Mystery

You need to face the Oracle of Wael here, so make sure your team is buffed, and have enough potions/scrolls.

The Oracle is weak to all afflictions except those of the mind, but it can summon minions. Put them down first, then focus fire on the Oracle, it will fall quickly.

After you defeat the oracle, you will meet Wael and decide what to do with its body. (if you have the skull of Concelhant, you can give the body to him. Either way, the main quest of The Forgotten Sanctum is completed.)

The last piece of the artifact (quest The Seeds of Deception) is on the opposite side of the Oracle. Find it and return to Tayn.
