| Pillars of Eternity 2 Video-Based Walkthrough by David Milward |
Kraken's Eye
Burning Bridges
I travel directly to Rinco's Home, and then give him Rinco's Coin Purse. I get 4,500xp and 1,000cp as rewards for completing the Burning Bridges Task in a way that was favorable for Rinco.
I emerge at the door at #18 on the map of Port Maje Harbor. I go east until I reach the door at #8.
*Evil* To Kraken's Eye
Zarathos takes Blooded. It provides a +25% bonus to Damage while the Barbarian is himself at 25% Health or less. A Death Godlike Ravager protected by Barring Death's Door will be able to make use of this passive often, and to devastating effect.
Eder takes Escape, the first ability that will allow him to make Backstab Attacks.
Xoti takes Suppress Affliction. It won't prevent new hostile effects, it only suppresses ones that were already in place, which can still be very helpful. If the hostile effects are themselves lengthy, then Suppress Affliction can be prolonged with Salvation of Time.
Thorel
I start off at the door at #1 on the map of the main floor of Kraken's Eye. I speak to Thorel. He wants me to clear out an unwelcome patron named Galian from one of his rooms. The request starts The Better Man Task. He also gives me the Kraken's Eye Room Key towards that end.
*Evil* Thorel
Zarathos elicits a rather more hostile reaction from Thorel when he wonders if the job will mean killing Galian.
He also earns Shady disposition by insisting on payment from Thorel.
Mabel and Peredyne
I feel a need, either for the good party or the evil party, to recruit two NPCs from the Kraken's Eye roster. Some of the upcoming battles will also be some of the toughest, so extra hands are welcome.
One choice was a Paladin named Peredyne. She can both tank and provide healing through Lay on Hands when needed. I spent an extra 300cp so that she came equipped with a War Hammer and Large Shield.
My other choice was a Dwarven Cipher named Mabel. She can provide thieving skills that the good party hasn't had so far. Her Whispers of Treason power will also come in handy during some of the fights. I definitely don't pay the extra 900cp to bring her in equipped. I already have some cheap equipment on hand that will suffice.
Stealing the Kraken's Eye
I have Mabel go into Stealth mode. She waits until her Stealth Circle is not filled full with Red, and has time to steal from the oven in the northeast corner before her circle does fill red. I get four Mariner's Porridge, which will provide useful Resting bonuses (+2 Constitution, +1 Might) for the upcoming fights.
I also have her wait patiently until she has a chance to nab the Kraken's Eye from #2 without being noticed.
I thereafter go up the stairs at #4.
Galian
That brings me to the stairs at #1 on the map of the upper floor.
A merchant named Norgun will be at #3, although he occasionally leaves it. I lift some Cinder Bombs from a chest in his room when he's temporarily away from it.
I use the Kraken's Eye Room Key to open the door at #4. Galian, along with his bodyguard named Baru and another Reveler, will be at #5.
There are numerous possibilities for convincing him to leave willingly. One branch opens up by threatening to bring the guards into it:
*Evil* Galian
Zarathos starts with an Aggressive dialogue option that involves telling Galian that Thorel has given the Watcher a license to get rough about things. He will attack you, along with an Aumaua bodyguard named Baru and another Reveler. Setting up Flanking positions on Baru, and then Galian, makes the fight go much easier. He offers surrender. I could convince him to leave willingly with very little effort. But I decide to just kill him and be done with it.
The Better Man
I am again at the stairs at #4 on the map of the main floor. I speak to Thorel at #3. I get 1,500+ xp and 1,200cp as reward for completing The Better Man Task.
Skipper's Stay becomes available in the Kraken's Eye as a Resting option for 43cp. It provides +2 bonuses to Bluff, Diplomacy and Intimidate until the next Rest.
However, I leave out the door at #1. I then leave Port Maje by foot for the time being. Once outdoors, I rest with everyone but Mabel getting Mariner's Porridge for until Rest bonuses of +2 Constitution and +1 Might. I only got four Mariner's Porridge, so I had Mabel consume Silverfish, which provides +2 Intellect. More Intellect will mean her Cipher powers, like Whisper of Treason, will last longer.
*Evil* The Better Man
Thorel is quite angry at Zarathos for killing Galian and Baru. I still get the xp reward, but not the monetary one. The Bloody Mess (-2 Diplomacy, +10% Damage) will also be my only Resting option here.
I leave Port Maje and likewise Rest up on Mariner's Porridge for everyone.
Now it is time to explore Maje Island.
