Complete the Sand Corsairs quest in Outward. Pay 50 silver to Dawne for a Desert Khopesh or fight Markus for 100 silver.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To speak with Dawne, find her in the eastern slums near the training area. Choose dialogue option 2, “Where did you get that food?”. You must pay a minimum of 50 silver. Paying 100 silver rewards you with a Desert Khopesh (20 physical damage, 17 impact, 1.1 attack speed).
  2. 2
    Alternatively, find Markus in the south-west slums near the Undercity Passage entrance. Choose dialogue option 2, “You seem shady enough. I’m looking for some information.”. Pay 50 silver by selecting option 2, “Ok, let’s do it.”. Defeat Markus in a fight, then speak to him again to receive information and 100 silver.
  3. 3
    After speaking with either Dawne or Markus, head to the ruined outpost located in a valley southwest of Levant. Leave Levant by the main entrance, head south, and look for an opening to the west. The outpost is guarded by a Desert Lieutenant and either a Desert Bandit or Ice Witch.
  4. 4
    Inside the outpost, speak with the Blue Chamber Scout. You can bribe them for 100 silver, threaten them (leading to a fight), or use a Writ of Tribal Favour.
  5. 5
    Return to Yzan in Levant and inform him. Propose attacking Old Levant through The Slide, a cave system.
  6. 6
    The most convenient entrance to The Slide is west of the Parched Shipwrecks, northwest of Levant. Head northwest from Levant's main entrance, past the Walled Garden, to find a valley with a shipwreck. From the ship, head northwest to find the entrance.
  7. 7
    Inside The Slide, take the path to your right to a metal gate. Use a key to open it and proceed west to a room with three bandits. Take the stairs immediately to your right, follow them to another metal gate, and use the key to reach the large wooden door to the Ruins of Old Levant.
  8. 8
    In the Ruins of Old Levant, go to the western part and head towards the Vigil Tower to stop the Corsair leader. Turn right from the oasis, head south, then southwest to the Corsairs’ Headquarters.
  9. 9
    In the headquarters, enter the room to the north. Kill the two bandits and speak with their leader, Zagis.
  10. 10
    You have two options: fight Zagis (option 1) or surrender honorably (option 2). If you fight and win, you get Zagis’ Saw (40 physical damage, 48 impact, 0.8 attack speed, inflicts pain). Use the room's space or stairs to evade his attacks. Option 2 resolves the conflict without a fight and without obtaining Zagis’ Saw.
  11. 11
    After dealing with Zagis, leave the tower and walk forward to meet Yzan and Cyrene to decide Clayton's fate.
Tips
  • If you are having trouble with Markus, use the slum streets to kite him while you recover stamina.
  • Use the space of the room or the nearby stairs when fighting Zagis to recover health, stamina, or mana.
