Daughter of Darkness: Difference between revisions

Once the Nautiloid arrives in the Material Plane and crashes on the Sword Coast, Shadowheart can be found unconscious on the [[Ravaged Beach]] (X:273, Y:223) if she was rescued or banging on the door to the [[Dank Crypt]] (X:285, Y:305). If the party either ignores her or refuses to let her join, she appears yet again in the [[Druid Grove]]. Lastly, if she has still not been recruited, she'll appear in either the [[Goblin Camp]] or the [[Mountain Pass]] with the [[Mysterious Artefact]] as the party is being overwhelmed by the voice of [[The Absolute]].

=== Shadowheart's Memories ===

==== Shadowheart and Wolves ====

The party can gain a powerful curative mushroom known as the [[Noblestalk]] (X:-4, Y:-62) in the [[Underdark]] in the same area as [[Find the Mushroom Picker]]. In order to safely acquire the Noblestalk, the Bibberbang in the area must not be detonated. There are many ways to achieve this, such as using [[Glut]] to move the Noblestalk, using the [[Sovereign's Key]] to prevent the Bibberbang from activating, jumping on high strength characters, or utilizing spells such as [[Misty Step]] or [[Fly]].

==== Night Orchids ====

Within the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], a Night Orchid (X:57, Y:179) can be found in the [[Ruined Battlefield]], northeast of the [[Last Light Inn]]. By talking to Shadowheart, the player can remind her that she told them about the flower, and that they have one for her. She teases the player, initially saying she hopes they didn't pick them by hand as they're deadly poisonous. However, she was only joking - they're safe, and beautiful. She thanks them for the gift, although she has nothing to give in return.

After entering the room (X:-767, Y:-755), the party notices a sacrificial bowl. The party must give a blood offering to continue onto the trial. If Shadowheart is in the party, she offers to do this. Once the offering is given, the party can proceed to the trial.

In this trial (X:-767, Y:-727), the party faces replicas of themselves. If the party attacks a replica of a different character, they gain a debuff that lowers their ability scores. An easy way to end this trial quickly is to remove all equipment until the replicas appear, then add the equipment again, so that the replicas are weaker. Using only one party member can also help, as it avoids the debuff. Once the replica has been defeated, an Umbral Gem is dropped.

The Faith-Step trial can be accessed by moving north of the other two trials and then following the stairs down (X:-752, Y:-727).

There are several ways to trivialize this trial:

The Silent Library is south of the Faith-Step Trial. Once inside, [[Silence]] is cast over the party. If the party is detected, a number of [[Justiciar Soulhunter]] and [[Justiciar Nightweaver]] attack. Defeating [[The Librarian]] at the centre of the room ends the Silence spell. With a successful Perception check, the party notices a button (X:-784, Y:-747) that unlocks the locked gate to the west.

To access the hidden room, the party must offer the correct book to the pedestal. The correct book is [[Teachings of Loss: The Nightsinger]] (X:-771, Y:-742) which is inside a trapped bookshelf (DC 15). Interact with the Riddle of the Night and combine it with the book to open the way. Inside is the Spear of Night, as well as [[Dark Justiciar Half-Plate]] and a [[Dark Justiciar Helmet]]. Giving the Spear to Shadowheart allows her to claim her place as a Dark Justiciar.

When Shadowheart arrives in Baldur's Gate, she says that her peers are no doubt watching her. She can find [[Ferg Drogher]] (X:45, Y:-98) in [[Rivington]] near the [[Requisitioned Barn]]. He calls out to the party as they get closer to him, if Shadowheart is in the party. He explains that the Sharrans are in the [[House of Grief]] in the [[Lower City]], starting [[Investigate the House of Grief]]. If the party enters the House of Grief with Shadowheart in the party, she is immediately led further in by [[Mirie]]. From here, either she or the player can undergo the Mapping of the Heart by an Inquirer of Grief. After the Mapping, the Inquirer reveals themselves to be none other than the Mother Superior herself, [[Viconia DeVir]]. She bids the party to come down further, into the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]].

* The decisions made throughout this questline dramatically affect a player's [[Shadowheart#Romance|romance]] with Shadowheart, as Lady Shar demands that Shadowheart give all of her heart to her, and no one else.
