Complete The Elven Seer quest in Divinity: Original Sin 2. Learn how to start the quest, complete the Trial For All Seasons, and defeat the challengers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Fast-travel to the Driftwood - Fields waypoint (a marker on your map you've manually placed as a destination) and head east, then north to a clearing with four carved wooden totems and a brazier called The Tongue of Flame.
  2. 2
    As an elf, speak to The Tongue of Flame to begin a trial. It will present a riddle: "Winter shudders with ice and snow. / Autumn rumbles, the sky lit aglow. / Summer burns, air fiery as a hearth. / Spring quenches, with bloody rebirth."
  3. 3
    To solve the riddle, create specific surfaces and clouds:
    • Hero of Winter: Use a Freezing Arrow to create an ice surface.
  4. 4
    Hero of Autumn: Use a Fire Arrow for a fire surface, then a Water Arrow for a Steam Cloud, followed by a Shocking Arrow to electrify it.
  5. 5
    Hero of Summer: Use a Fire Arrow for a fire surface, then the Vaporise skill to create a fire cloud.
  6. 6
    Hero of Spring: Stand in front of the totem and use Flesh Sacrifice to create a blood surface.
  7. 7
    Warning: On Tactician difficulty, all four effects must be active simultaneously. You can create a permanent steam cloud by the Autumn tree with a fire spell followed by Rain. Then, make a quick save and quickly perform these actions:
    • Fire arrow for fire surface by the Hero of Summer.
  8. 8
    Shocking arrow to electrify the steam cloud by the Hero of Autumn.
  9. 9
    Vaporise the fire surface by the Hero of Summer to create a fire cloud.
  10. 10
    Freezing arrow for an ice surface by the Hero of Winter.
  11. 11
    After passing the elemental trials, challengers will emerge from the totems. Defeat the Challenger of Winter (STR: 15, FIN: 31, INT: 16, CON: 24, MEM: 21, WIT: 22; Initiative: 22; Health: 750; Armour: 165/605; Resistances: Fire 10%, Water 140%, Air 10%, Poison 10%; Abilities: Huntsman 10, Hydrosophist 10, Perseverance 10), Challenger of Autumn (STR: 18, FIN: 28, INT: 16, CON: 24, MEM: 21, WIT: 23; Initiative: 23; Health: 750; Armour: 220/330; Resistances: Water 10%, Air 140%, Poison 10%; Abilities: Scoundrel 10, Aerotheurge 4, Perseverance 8; Talents: Opportunist), Challenger of Summer (STR: 19, FIN: 35, INT: 22, CON: 24, MEM: 21, WIT: 33; Initiative: 33; Health: 750; Armour: 385/165; Resistances: Fire 140%, Air 10%, Poison 10%; Abilities: Huntsman 10, Pyrokinetic 10, Perseverance 6; Talents: Executioner), and Challenger of Spring (STR: 26, FIN: 18, INT: 15, CON: 24, MEM: 18, WIT: 27; Initiative: 27; Health: 750; Armour: 550/220; Resistances: Earth 100%, Poison 100%; Abilities: Warfare 10, Perseverance 3; Talents: Opportunist, Leech). The Challenger of Spring has the Fortified effect, preventing teleportation.
  12. 12
    After the combat, the Tongue of Flame declares you victorious. Take the Phoenix Heart from the brazier and loot the chest. An elf can eat the Phoenix Heart to acquire the Flaming Tongues skill.
  13. 13
    Return to the path south of the clearing and head east. When you see an abandoned cart, head south to a clearing. You will be challenged by an Elven Wildstalker.
  14. 14
    Make a Persuasion check to pass. If you are an elf, the [Constitution Persuasion] option will pass automatically.
  15. 15
    An elf shaman named Tovah is conducting funeral rites. If your character is an elf, you can participate in the rites.
  16. 16
    Speak to Tovah, who asks for your help finding her daughter, Saheila, who was taken by Roost Anlon. Agreeing to find Saheila initiates the Elven Seer quest.
  17. 17
    Head north from the Trial For All Seasons clearing to Cullwoods Mill. You can find Bromley's Buried Valuables marked on your minimap (a type of radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked)). Dig up the Chest of a Dwarven Hero to obtain the unique Justinia's Favour gloves and other loot.
  18. 18
    Go north across a fallen tree past the western side of the mill, avoiding explosive mines. Continue north to a dirt mound by the water's edge; dig it up to find a Damp Wooden Chest.
  19. 19
    Return across the fallen tree and head east to the front of the mill. Use Rain to clear the poison surface by the outhouses and use movement skills to bypass explosive traps and Noxious Bulbs. You will reach three graves.
  20. 20
    Digging up the grave on the left uncovers a chest with gold.
