When you reach the Sallow Man's room deeper in the cave, you will earn 30,100 Exploration XP. This will lead to the Mercy is Power quest. The 3 Black Ring members are worth 55,800XP each, and The Sallow Man is worth 97,650XP, making it a grand total of 265,050XP.Īlso, if you head deeper into the Sallow Man's lair, you will come face to face with Windego (2). Simply kill him again and he will die permanently. If you choose to attack the Sallow Man at this stage, note that he will resurrect once after dying. At this point, you can turn on your party members, attack the Sallow Man, or simply leave. "recognized for your innate nobility" = NobleĪfter that, he will give you a staff that can destroy corpses and prevent them from resurrecting."knowledge of the mystical world" = Mystic."always fancied yourself as something of a scholar" = Scholar."inner yearning for an outlaw spirit" = Outlaw."more barbarity in your nature" = Barbarian.The choices are obvious, but are still listed for the sake of completeness: Hence, if you're happy with your chosen background, do not select "claim your reward"! Choose instead to turn away and he will simply continue on with his dialogue. Note that by choosing to claim your reward, he will take away a random background from you (so for example if you're a Noble, he might take it away and replace it with your chosen background). From here, you can claim your reward, a changing of your background, or turn away. You will gain 100,300XP immediately and realize he was actually an elf, now a twisted shadow of his former self. Speak to the Sallow Man and throw him Alexandar's head. If you have Lohse in your party, make sure she does not get too close to the Sallow Man! If she gets too close to the Sallow Man, he will speak with her and immediately recognize the demon inside her, initiating combat immediately. Head down the ramp and into the large hall and you will come face to face with the Sallow Man (1). Now, head inside and you will gain 20,075 Exploration XP. Note: If you took the shortcut and met Alexandar directly at the Academy, you can still pass the wall by dropping a teleportation pyramid behind it (due to a glitch, the tunnel to the encampment will remain dark, but you can safely cross it tip: leave a pyramid behind for a quick return). The path to the Sallow Man will be clear. You can also just teleport him into the lava.Įnter the cave and either use the Cowl of the True Sight right after the altar, towards the fake wall, or interact with the altar and drop the head into it (this will not destroy the head, don't worry). If you kill him, you will need to nuke him down as he regenerates around 3000 health per turn by the "Troll blood" ability, that can be disabled by "regeneration" effect. Simply kill him, or pass a speech check to convince him to let you in the cave (you will gain 20,075XP for killing him). Obviously, kill Alexandar and after you have killed him, travel to the Sallow Man's camp as shown below ( DO NOT eat Bishop Alexandar's head or you will not be able to complete this quest!)Įast of the Temple of Rhalic, there is a troll guarding a cave: Simply make your way there and you will encounter him and Gareth fighting (see " Seeking Revenge" for more details). Bishop Alexandar can be found at the top of the Elven Temple.
In any case, the main objective of this quest is to simply find and kill Bishop Alexandar, and bring his head to The Sallow Man. Also, you may get a hood from Shadow Prince that can protect you from Sallow Man.)
(Note: this is not a necessary quest, you can also help the Bishop Alexandar at An Unlikely Patron. In order to prevent any unnecessary disruption of this quest, make sure to avoid conflict with Black Ring members by telling them that you are Almira's thrall, or that you are a member of the Lone Wolves. You can also obtain this quest by talking to Almira early on at the start of the chapter, or by taking orders from the Black Ring Captain. There are multiple ways to acquire this quest, with the most common one simply using the black mirror acquired from a Black Ring member. Give Alexandar's head to the Sallow Man.
