Walkthrough

Andrasta in her painting house.
The lost effigy.
Rys confronting Andrasta.

This quest will begin automatically once you hear Erica Braveblood's invitation to her gallery in Ark's South Quarters- Lateral View. Talk to her and accept her request to find her mother.

Visit Andrasta Braveblood to see if everything is alright

Follow the quest marker all the way to the Old Watermill. Despite Erica telling you the house is in the Dark Valley, it's easier to reach it from the Forstcliff Tarvern's Myriad Tower than the Dark Valley Myriad Tower. Prepare yourself before entering, because you'll have to face a Fire Elemental. After the defeating the elemental, you'll have a chance to talk with Andrasta. She'll tell you she stopped sending paintings because she was raided, and she wants you to recover one of the stolen paintings.

Find the lost effigy

Follow the quest marker to the Throatstone Processing Plant. You'll have to face some bandits inside, mostly warriors, so be prepared. After dispatching of them and their leader, you'll want to take the painting... only be greeted by something unexpected. After talking with the... "painting", you'll learn that Andrasta is in fact a wild mage that uses her power to trap nobles inside paintings to rid the world of their kind. The man trapped inside, Rys, has asked for your help to stop her.

Confront Andrasta with the accusations

Head back to the Old Watermill and talk with Andrasta. At this point, you'll have two choices.

Let Andrasta continue

You let Andrasta continue her "work" and Rys is taken, forever. Choosing to threaten Andrasta into stop killing people only changes the response dialogue. Andrasta will give you:

  • a Gold Diamond Amulet (Value 400)
  • Andrasta's Coin Bag (Quest item for Erica)
  • Scientia Sinistra: Psionic Splinter (Tier II)

Return to Ark and talk with Erica . She will give you 390 Pennies and the quest will finish (1500 EP).

Kill Andrasta

Andrasta is a formidable foe, so be prepared. After killing her, Rys will be returned to his body and can be found on a newly-opened room on the second floor. You can loot Andrasta and talk to Rys to receive:

  • 200 Pennies
  • Techniques of Loram Waterblade: Onslaught (Tier II)

Return to Ark and talk with Erica . If you choose to tell her the truth, she will become enraged and tell you to get out of her house. If you choose to lie and tell Erica her mother died because of bandits she will give you 200 Pennies. Either way, the quest completes (2500 EP).

Bugs

  • If you kill Andrasta and lie to Erica the quest will still finish as if you had told the truth: Erica will yell for you to get out of her house whenever she gets near you and the quest journal will say she was "enraged when told about her mother's death".

Notes

  • For the best monetary reward, you should kill Andrasta, talk with Rys to get 200 Pennies, then lie about her mother's death to Erica for another 200 Pennies.
  • The Farmer Guardsman at Watchtower at the Landlord Borek's Farm suggests a place and a person where to find the quest, but a conversation with him does not trigger any quests in the quest log.
