Follow this guide to complete the timed quest 'Murder Of Prince Jaden' in Outward. Find clues in Enmerkar Forest, Abrassar, and Levant to solve the murder.
Walkthrough
- 1Enter any Inn to acquire the quest. It is recommended to do this in Berg for efficiency.
- 2Head to the Burnt Outpost in southern Enmerkar Forest (southwest of the Huge Burning Tree) and read the note on the table for the first clue.
- 3Travel to the Hive Prison within the Colossal Hive in Abrassar (east of Enmerkar Forest entrance, within ruins). Find and read the note on the floor in the northwest part of the cavern for the second clue. Be cautious of the Hive Lord and Walking Hives; they are vulnerable to Fire and Decay damage. If struggling, you can grab the note and flee. Avoid the explosion radius of defeated Walking Hives.
- 4Go to the Slums of Levant (northeast of Colossal Hive, south of Levant). In the southeastern corner, ascend stairs, turn west, and find the note within a basket on a rooftop for the third clue.
- 5Locate Cyrene outside the Heroes’ Palace in Levant. Before speaking to her, pull the lever behind her to open a gate.
- 6Choose the dialogue option to join Cyrene in the attack, which teleports you to Undercity Passage.
- 7Enter the opened gate and proceed east to another iron gate. Interact with it to open and approach the Baron.
- 8You have two options: fight the Baron to obtain the Marble Shield (32 physical damage, 51 impact, 17 impact resistance) and Marble Axe (35 physical damage, 29 impact, 0.9 attack speed), or accept his bribe of 300 silver.
- 9After dealing with the Baron, return to where you met Cyrene and head south into the dungeon. Go to the bottom where tents surround a large stone pillar supporting a bridge.
- 10To the east, beneath the pillar, find Cyrene and Prince Pietro. Speak with Cyrene to advance the quest.
- 11You will be teleported to the center of Levant, completing the quest.
Tips
- Complete this quest before attending the meeting in the Blue Chamber for optimal timing.
- The initial quest of finding the priest in Abrassar is optional and offers no additional rewards.
- If you are struggling with the enemies in the Hive Prison, you can simply run in, grab the note, and run back out.
- Be sure to pull the lever behind Cyrene before speaking with her to open the gate, which provides access to the Baron later.
