Sacred Instruments – Pillars of Eternity Quest

This guide is for a quest in Part 1 of Pillars of Eternity: The White March. The guide has a walkthrough of the area, and a map with a legend.

Map Legend

1 – Ista
2 – Ice Cave

Background

You’ll receive this task from Ista in Stalwart Village (#1).

Walkthrough

Ista will tell you that she’s created an Ore-Locating Device, and that she just needs somebody to test it for her. If you volunteer, then she’ll hand it over to you, and she’ll ask you to use it just outside Durgan’s Battery.

When you reach Durgan’s Battery, the device will screech at you every so often, and it will point you towards a cave on the southern side of the area (#2). Inside the cave, you’ll encounter some lagufaeth, but the device will detect some White Adra Gems sitting in a crevice on the western side.

When you return to Ista, you’ll have three ways to complete the task:

• You can lie to Ista and tell her that the device didn’t detect anything. She’ll reward you with 300 cp, and you’ll get to keep the gems, which you’ll be able to sell for 1500 cp.
  
  
• You can tell Ista about the gems and then give them to her. She’ll reward you with 800 cp and you’ll earn a “moderate” amount of reputation with Stalwart Village.
  
  
• You can tell Ista about the gems but then hang onto them. She won’t give you a reward, but you’ll get to keep the gems, which you’ll be able to sell for 1500 cp.
