    On the South Road, enter the north-west cave. Search the loot bags near a corpse to find a Treatise on Forgotten Heroes.

    Search his remains for the Rapier of the High Roads and the Charwood Cultist's Journal.
  14. 14
    Go to Kendrack's Barracks and talk to Aarin Gend. Ask him how to gain admittance into Luskan. He will tell you to speak with the guard.
  15. 15
    After finishing side quests in Charwood, head north to the Green Griffon Inn area.
  16. 16
    You will be attacked by Darktongue Breakbone and his two bodyguards. Kill them (spells from a distance are recommended for spellcasters).
  17. 17
    Talk to the Luskan Seargent in the far north to gain entry into Luskan. Note that once you enter Luskan, all side quests for this area of the chapter will become unavailable.
Tips
  • The Treatise on Forgotten Heroes, the Old Scroll, and the Explorer's Journal do not pertain to the main or side quests but are found in this area.
  • High Constitution is required to swim through the well. Cast an Endurance spell or drink a Potion of Endurance if your character has low Con.
  • To activate the pillar in Charwood, you must have both the Old Scroll and the Explorer's Journal in your inventory.
  • Darktongue Breakbone is a tough Dwarf skilled in melee combat; spells from a distance are your best defense if you are a spellcasting character.
  • It is advised to complete all side quests in Charwood before entering Luskan to gain XP and useful items.
