Chapter 1 Harbor City Joining the Order Quests

Overview

These quests are the ones you need to do in order to join the Order’s forces. There are seven in total and only four are required to successfully be on Inquisition’s side. They are mutually exclusive with equivalent bandit quests.

Once you’ve completed at least four of those seven, you’ll have advanced Peace and Order as well, which basically means that you’ve decided to follow the Order’s cause (either as a warrior of the Order or a mage). The remaining quests to be done in the harbor city that are Order-specific are Where Are the Artifacts Disappearing to? and Get Rid of Scordo.

Peace and Order

This quest is received from Carlos (#1) the first time you speak to him during Talk to the Commandant of Harbour Town. You just have to agree to help him, but you don’t really have to mean it. Anyway, once you choose the Order, a random Warrior of the Order will approach you and send you to Carlos.

After a long dialog, you’ll receive 1000 experience for completing this quest, along with the achievement Peacekeeper. You’ll learn that artifact smuggling throughout the city is still popular and Carlos would like to find who’s in the focus of all the circulation. Therefore, you’ll receive a new quest called Where Are the Artifacts Disappearing to?. Carlos gave you pointers at the brothel, particularly Madam Sonya (#2).

Note that after completing this quest, the Don’s men in town will be dead. You can loot their stuff as there might be a few goodies.

Where Are the Artifacts Disappearing to?

As you head out on your search for the artifact smuggler, you’ll first stop at Madam Sonya’s (#2) for extra information. You’ll need to ask her about artifact smuggling, the abundance of gold artifacts and then who calls the shots about it. She’ll reveal the secret about Scordo, the chief Esteban’s man in town. He’s behind the painting switch in the left room (#3). You’ll need to traverse a narrow tunnel to reach him.

Scordo will attack you after a long conversation. Be prepared, as he’s one of the harder opponents so far. Once you’ve knocked him down and obtained a key, continue on the way and turn right. You’ll find yourself outdoors, on the beach (this completes another quest called Find the Secret Access to Harbour Town!).

Return to Carlos (#1). You’ll receive 500 experience points for solving this quest, and 100 in addition to killing Scordo, and another 100 for having Belschwur’s blessing (Medicine for Everyone) and once again 100 experience for choosing the Order path, as well as receiving the official letter that will allow you to receive training you wish at the monastery.

Knock Out Scordo

This mini-quest is triggered after you defeat Scordo. You’ll receive 100 experience for the quest after the fight, along with 160 for actually knocking him down.

Scordo’s Key

After looting Scordo’s body, you’ll come across a key. A small quest also completes itself and gives you 100 experience.

Get Rid of Scordo

This quest is hinted at by Carlos (#1) during your conversation with him. You’ll need to find Scordo and kill him. Once you do find him behind the tunnel at #3, make sure to stab him after knocking him down. Simply attack him while he’s still on the ground. You’ll receive 500 experience bonus and the quest is completed.
