Guide to convincing Rissa Abderdeen, Sagard Battleborn, and Gabriella Sullivan in Outward's Hallowed Peacemaker quest. Includes tips for fighting Sagard and acquiring items.
Walkthrough
- 1Convince Rissa Abderdeen: Find her in Berg, northeast of the city, beside an ancestral tomb. You need to provide either a Writ of Tribal Favour or 150 silver.
- 2Convince Sagard Battleborn: Locate him in the Old Coin’s Inn, southwest of Rissa. You can persuade him by:
- Providing a valuable Tsar Stone (if you have one).
- 3Asking a favor (only if you gave him evidence during the Purifier quest).
- 4Fighting him.
- 5Fight Sagard Battleborn (if necessary): Select dialogue options like “Call off your armies, or I’ll call them off for you” or “Oh, is the great Sagard Battleborn too pathetic to fight one puny little person?”. Sagard is aggressive with high health. Use evasion techniques like dodge and sidestep. Use the table in the inn for cover and to create distance. Equip a weapon with at least 40 impact resistance, preferably 45+, to exploit impact interruptions. Use the table to get in ranged attacks with a bow or magic, and to place traps. His main attacks are a leaping charge and a swift two-slash AoE.
- 6Convince Gabriella Sullivan: Speak with her in Berg after convincing Sagard. You can convince her by:
- Providing a Writ of Tribal Favour.
- 7Giving her a Coralhorn bow (crafted with two Coralhorn Antlers, one Crystal Powder, and one Recurve Bow).
- 8Acquiring a Horror Chitin from the Cabal of Wind Temple in Enmerkar Forest (southwest).
- 9Acquire Horror Chitin (if needed): Travel to the Cabal of Wind Temple. From Berg, take the southern exit, follow the main road south along the eastern shore of the lake. The temple is visible from the bridge south of Berg. At the road split, head towards the temple. Climb the hill using lighter soil pathways or approach from the west for an easier ascent. The west approach also leads to a supply cache and a ruined tower with a chest. Enter the temple from the south side and descend through a large hole in the ground. Kill or avoid the Immaculate guarding the hole. Inside, patrol corridors until you find a Shell Horror. Kite it to conserve stamina and defeat it. Take the Horror Chitin.
- 10Travel to Levant: After convincing Gabriella, Elatt will instruct you to go to Levant to intervene in the civil war.
- 11Prepare for Levant: Enter the Abrassar desert from Enmerkar Forest. Near Levant, find merchants camped beside Nomad’s Oasis. Speak with them for essentials and information from Smooth the Tailor.
- 12Enter Levant via Undercity Passage: Smooth will advise using the Undercity Passage, which requires a key.
- 13Acquire the Undercity Passage Key: The key is held by Zagis in the Hive Prison, located within the Colossal Hive ruins (southeast of Levant). Enter the Colossal Hive, look for ruins to the east (left). The prison is within these ruins.
- 14Clear the Hive Prison: Inside, you will face a Hive Lord and two Walking Hives. They are vulnerable to Fire and Decay damage. Use the prison cave to kite or retreat if necessary. Free Zagis to obtain the key.
- 15Find Undercity Passage Entrance: From the Colossal Hive, head northeast through the desert towards Levant. Near the city walls, turn south and follow the ruins. This is the entrance to Undercity Passage.
- 16Enter Undercity Passage: Inside, turn right and follow the slope down to the north.
