Quest: Investigate the Beach
The Investigate the Beach quest begins when you interact with a child. This quest takes you to the Ravaged Beach, where you will find Shadowheart unconscious. Interacting with her is a key step in progressing this quest and potentially recruiting her.
During this quest, you may encounter several other related quests or opportunities:
- Save Arabella
- Save the Goblin Sazza: Completing this by escorting Sazza to the Goblin Camp rewards you with an item.
- Investigate Kagha: Completing this quest by persuading and sparing Kagha before Rescue the Druid Halsin can reward a Druid character with the Pale Oak staff.
- Find your Belongings
- Steal the Sacred Idol: Completing this quest rewards you with an item from Mol.
- Save the Refugees
- Get Help from Auntie Ethel: This offer to eliminate the parasite at the Riverside Teahouse is mutually exclusive with Volo's Ersatz Eye and Wyll's stone eye options.
- Get Help from Healer Nettie
Other items and rewards can be obtained during this questline or in related areas:
- The Pale Oak staff is awarded for completing Investigate Kagha and persuading/sparing Kagha, but only if you are a druid.
- An item is granted by completing the Help Omeluum Investigate the Parasite quest.
- An item carried by Zevlor in the Druid Grove can be bought, stolen, or earned as a reward for Investigate Kagha.
- Omeluum offers an item at the end of Help Omeluum Investigate the Parasite, purchasable with gold or by trading a story/information about the Nautiloid (70 gp).
- The Strange Ox in the Druid Grove (or later at Dammon's blacksmith in the Last Light Inn) can be looted for an item, but killing it prevents completion of the Help the Devilish Ox quest.
- An item can be found in the Apothecary's Cellar, behind a moveable bookshelf, in a casket.
