Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for the Dawntreader quest in Avowed's Dawnshore 2. Discover how to start the quest, navigate the Eothasian Temple, retrieve the Splinter of Eothas, and find the lost expedition team.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the Quest:
    • Speak with Secgwin and Kauia outside the Eothasian Temple in Dawnshore, north of the Northern Farms beacon.
  2. 2
    Meet Ofryc near the embassy in Paradis, who mentions his brother Caedmon is trapped.
  3. 3
    The quest also triggers if you enter the temple without speaking to anyone; Kai will mention the missing Free Expeditions Corps members.
  4. 4
    Enter the Eothasian Temple:
    • Proceed past Secgwin and Kauia into the cave leading to the temple.
  5. 5
    At a forked path, the left route has a locked gate. Use an electric grenade on the contraption below the yellow shield to open it. Beware of awakened skeletons. Loot the area and return to the fork.
  6. 6
    Take the right path. You'll see an underground cavern to the left with forgotten structures.
  7. 7
    Navigate this area, using parkour. You can fight or sneak past lizard-like xaurips. Sneaking is recommended by going left of the first enemy.
  8. 8
    You'll reach a ledge near strange purple light. Jump over electrified water and climb the stairs to find an injured Caedmon.
  9. 9
    Offer him a healing potion via dialogue. He suspects his captain, Gjeda, is infected with the Dreamscourge.
  10. 10
    Continue towards the map marker to find the Oracle of Eothas. Defeat more xaurips and use platforming skills.
  11. 11
    You'll reach a bridge leading to the Oracle Sargamis, who is near a large statue with wires and adra stone contraptions.
  12. 12
    Retrieve the Splinter of Eothas:
    • Speak with Sargamis. He will explain his past and you can discuss your Godlike heritage.
  13. 13
    Sargamis tasks you with finding the Splinter of Eothas in a cave system beneath the temple. He claims unawareness of the expedition's arrival and warns you about the statue and its contraptions.
  14. 14
    Head towards the objective marker for the relic. You'll enter a new cave network.
  15. 15
    Ignore the locked door on the left and the broken bridge in the middle for now. Head right to find an underwater tunnel.
  16. 16
    Dive into the tunnel and resurface in a library infested with spiders. Defeat them and clear webs using Kai's ability or a fire weapon/grenade.
  17. 17
    Continue until you encounter more xaurips near a broken bridge. Defeat them.
  18. 18
    Jump on the broken bridge section to cross.
  19. 19
    Proceed to a sanctuary littered with bones where the Splinter of Eothas is located.
  20. 20
    Before picking up the relic, use an electric grenade on the contraption to the left of it. This opens a locked door to the left containing a chest with gems.
  21. 21
    Save your game. Grab the relic to trigger a battle against hordes of enraged skeletons led by the Godless Executioner, a mini-boss. Dodge and block attacks, managing your stamina. The cavern will appear to crumble, but it's mostly visual.
  22. 22
    Find the Aedyran Expedition Team:
    • After defeating the mini-boss, retrace your steps to the cave with the broken bridge, which is now flooded.
  23. 23
    A large tree root forms a new path across.
  24. 24
    Cross the bridge again, but in the opposite direction. The path ahead is blocked.
  25. 25
    Look for a blue circle on your screen indicating the lost expedition's location to your right.
  26. 26
    Climb the rocky outcrops. You'll spot a large hole to your left and a glowing fissure to your right. Do not head left yet.
Tips

  • Use an electric grenade on the contraption near the Splinter of Eothas to unlock a hidden chest with gems.
