Continue the Murder Investigation by Digging in the Cemetery

Continue the murder investigation in Divinity: Original Sin by digging up Councillor Jake's grave in the cemetery. Uncover clues, speak to Murphy the dog, and find a dead sheep.

When you were in the murder room in the Inn, you should have noticed that the body of Councillor Jake wasn't there. You would surmise that the undertaker already took him. But you need to examine the body for clues. There are two ways you can get the same information, and you can undertake both. Pun intended.

First, head north to the cemetery, and look for Jake's freshly dug grave. His dog, "Murphy", will be barking around the grave. If you have the Pet Pal Talent, speak to Murphy the dog. You'll learn that he misses his best friend Jake, but he senses something is afoot with the grave. If you can't talk to animals, just dig up the grave with the convenient nearby shovel to exhume the body on your own. Gasp! You don't find a body in the grave. Instead you find a dead sheep. Whoa. You will want to go and speak to Bertia in the Market as this just might be her lost sheep.

During your investigation of the various suspects in town, you will find Smelly items that you can bring to Murphy, Jake's dog at the cemetery, and let him smell them. You will find Smelly Panties at Esmeralda's House, some Smelly Socks in the office of Aureus, the Captain of the Legion and Smelly Shoes at Mayor Cecil's Office. Murphy will tell you about his own suspicions of guilt or innocense of the owners of the items.

There are a number of other graves in the graveyard that you can dig up. You can do so now, or come back a bit later. A friendly warning. Not all graves contain "dead" bodies. This Guide will have you come back to the graveyard for further exploration. First, let's find out about this sheep thing. And where the heck is Jake's body??
