Outward 2: Essential Missables & Timed Quests

AntMag.NET

There are quite a few things that are easy to miss or easy to fail. This guide covers the most important unique weapons, timed quests, and sidequests.

Unique Weapons

Brand

A 18/18 physical/chill one-handed sword that inflicts chill and pain conditions. It's considered one of the best one-handed swords in the game.

Crafting Ingredients:

Strange Rusted Sword - Found on top of Conflux Mountain.
Chemist's Broken Flask - Purchased from the alchemist in Levant for 700 silver.
Mage's Poking Stick - Purchased from the alchemist in Monsoon for 375 silver.
Blacksmith's Vintage Hammer - Purchased from the blacksmith in Berg for 300 silver.

Dream Halberd

An easy-to-miss unique weapon obtained by finding the Immaculate Cave in all four locations and refusing the gift from the Immaculate each time.

Important Note: If you join the Holy Mission, you can no longer interact with the Immaculate. Ensure you find all four caves before joining Elatt if you wish to obtain this weapon.

Important Timed Quests

Vendavel

This quest becomes available immediately after joining a faction. You will hear news that Cierzo is under attack by bandits. You must travel to Cierzo and accept this quest as soon as possible.

Failure Condition: If not completed within 30 days of joining any faction, Cierzo will be permanently destroyed.

Walkthrough: Travel to Vendavel Fortress (south/southwest of the map). The objective is to kill three warlords or complete a small task for them to bypass the fight. Upon completion, Cierzo is saved, and you receive the town key, which opens an Ornate Chest in the town hall and grants access to the Legacy Chest in Cierzo Storage.

Blood Under the Sun

This quest can be obtained after joining a faction and has a strict time limit. It offers a decent amount of early money or a free house (if you are in the Heroic Kingdom faction).

Quest Givers:

Elatt or Blue Chambers: Obtained inside an inn from a person near a table in Berg.
Heroic Kingdom: Obtained during the main story.

The priest will send you to the Hive Prison (northeast of the 'colossal hive' mark).
