Aeldari in Distress: Locations & Choices: Yrliet

Need help with the Aeldari in Distress quest in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader? Follow our guide to find Yrliet's kin across the Forgotten Twins, Odaenathus XI, and Tenebris Aquae systems.

Alright, let's get Yrliet's personal quest, 'Aeldari in Distress,' sorted. This one's all about tracking down some Aeldari ships across a few star systems. It sounds straightforward, but each stop has its own little challenge, so pay attention!

The Quest So Far: You're looking for three specific star systems to help Yrliet find her people.

The Systems You Need to Visit:

1. Forgotten Twins
2. Odaenathus XI
3. Tenebris Aquae

Forgotten Twins Location

First up is the Forgotten Twins system. If you're starting from Janus, this one's pretty close. Just keep an eye on the bottom right of your screen if Janus is centered. Head right towards Langrenn's Belt, then dip down. You'll find the Forgotten Twins system there. Interact with the derelict ship you find; it’s not much to look at, just an adrift vessel, but Yrliet will give you some insight into its Aeldari origins. It's a quick stop, mostly for story and Yrliet's personal quest progression.

Odaenathus Xi Location

Next, we're heading to Odaenathus Xi. This system is located towards the top of the star map in Chapter 2. From the Forgotten Twins, you'll need to navigate a bit: go up through Mu-Rho 79, Mundus Nulius, Mundus Valancius, Narmer IV, and then make your way right to Odaenathus XI. Now, here's the tricky part: this system is crawling with Drukhari. There are four of their vessels guarding points of interest. If you get too close to them or the planets they're guarding, you'll trigger a space battle, and they'll call in reinforcements. To avoid a massive fight, just carefully weave your way through the gaps between them. Your goal is to reach the Aeldari vessel without engaging the Drukhari. Once you find it, you can scavenge and loot for more information about what happened to the craft.

Tenebris Aquae Location

Finally, we have Tenebris Aquae, which is way over on the far left of the star map. It's a bit of a trek. Your best bet is to head back to Telikos Epsilon (Janus). From there, navigate to Orsellio Prophecy, then head left to Adermatt II. From Adermatt II, move down one system to reach Tenebris Aquae. When you arrive, you'll witness an ongoing battle between the Imperial Fleet and an Aeldari ship. You've got a couple of choices here:

• Aid the Aeldari: Engage the two Imperial vessels. This will allow the Aeldari ship to escape.
• Persuade the Imperials: Tell the Imperial vessel to stand down. The Aeldari will try to flee, but sadly, their engines will go into overdrive and destroy the ship when you catch up.

Unfortunately, no matter what you choose, you won't be able to establish contact with the Aeldari vessel here. It's a bit of a downer, but this is the final location for the quest. Don't worry too much about the outcome here; you'll get more context and opportunities related to Yrliet's questline later in Chapter 3. Completing this step means you're done with the 'Aeldari in Distress' mission for now!
