Chapter 2 Faranga Island Meta Quests

Overview

This section contains the quests that span the whole second chapter in a way that other main quests are all related to them. In this case, you’ll need to find five crystal disks for the Inquisitor if you’re a member of the order, or for the Don, if you belong to the bandits.

• Find the Golden Crystal Disks
• Crystal Disks for the Inquisitor
• Assisting the Mages (M)
• Crystal Disks for the Don (D)
• Esteban’s Return to Harbour Town (D)

Find the Golden Crystal Disks

Once you’ve acquired all five crystal disks in any order, this quest auto-completes itself for 250 experience.

Crystal Disks for the Inquisitor

As you start the second chapter, talk to Inquisitor Mendoza in front of that massive door behind the monastery (#1). You’ll learn about the crystal disks that may be the key to opening the door.

You’ll also learn that some of the disks may be in possession of Don Esteban (#2) and he therefore sends you on a task to negotiate and agree to give him all the gold from his temple excavations in return for the disks. There are more disks to be found throughout the island.

After acquiring all the disks, talk to Inquisitor again. Tell him about Saurians (the lizardmen race) and then give him the disks for 1000 experience. Before opening the door, he’ll want you to persuade the mages to help him as well since they are too worried about protecting the holy flame.

Once that’s taken care of, talk to Inquisitor and he’ll open the gate. A dozen lizardmen will appear and a large fight will ensue. Afterwards, the chapter 3 begins once you talk to Mendoza once more.

Assisting the Mages

This mini-quest is received from Inquisitor Mendoza after you give him all the crystal disks only if you’re a mage. Find Ignatius in front of the main hall (where he usually stands) and tell him about the situation. He’ll give you a powerful protective amulet and bless you as you go back to Inquisitor. The quest ends with 50 experience.

Crystal Disks for the Don

In case you’re a member of the bandits, once you come back to Don (#2) for the first time after talking to Inquisitor (#1), he’ll suggest bringing all the disks to him instead. Doing this will allow Don to take over the city again (the quest Esteban’s Return to Harbour Town). You’ll also receive 300 experience. You’ll also be able to acquire new armor for 2000 coins.

Esteban’s Return to Harbour Town

After giving all the disks to the Don (#2) (or the other four which aren’t in his possession to the Inquisitor), he’ll trade the disks (or only the last one) only if the Inquisitor gives him control over the city.

Since the Inquisitor (#1) doesn’t really have a choice as he needs the disks, he’ll agree to it. Talk to Carlos (#3) in Chapter 3 in town as well and tell him to leave the city. The next time you want to talk to Don Esteban, he’ll be in his old house in harbour town. This quest gives you 500 experience. You can also buy a new armor for 5000 coins.
