Walkthrough

1
Vilario's Rest: After talking with the Steward and Edér, you can recruit him. Choose his class (Fighter, Rogue, or Swashbuckler). If you prioritized salvage, find a crate on the beach with Oil of Allure, Thief's Putty, and Killer's Gloves.
2

3
Assist Irrena: Use Survival 2 to patch her injuries or Athletics 2 to help her down. Edér can assist.
4
Beach Exploration: Back on the beach, head north and defeat a Young Boar. Find a wandering spirit of a dead sailor; you can let it follow you.
5
Chitupec and Beodul: Continue north to find Chitupec, who will tell you Beodul ran into a nearby cave.
6
Eld Engrim and Vela: Head east to find Eld Engrim near the area exit. If you saved Vela (Orlan baby) in the previous game, you'll find her here.
7
Sea Cave Entrance: Backtrack to Chitupec's location and enter the Sea Cave.
8
Sea Cave Navigation: Use stealth if desired. Examine the crate on the jetty for supplies. At a fork, continue east. Fight a Cave Beetle and three Skeletons (avoid Pierce attacks).
9
Waterlogged Note: Head up the steps, grab the Waterlogged Note and lockpicks from a body. Use the △ button in your inventory to read the note. It mentions Benweth.

Locked Chest: At the top of the platform, find a level 2 locked chest containing a Vailian Frock Coat and minor loot.
11
Rusted Copper Construct: Go back down and take the north path to find the Rusted Copper Construct and a Revenant. The Construct is vulnerable to Crush and Shock damage.
12
Ring of Minor Protection: After the fight, search a corpse in an alcove for a Ring of Minor Protection and find a Scroll of Fan of Flames.
13
Beodul and Bear Traps: Go west to find Beodul surrounded by bear traps. Deal with them using Mechanics 1, Perception 11, Bluff 2, or Intellect 13 / Sleight of Hand 2.

Scout Ahead: Use Edér to scout for air pockets (Athletics 1) to make the swim easier.

Maje Island (W): Interact with debris northeast of Vilario's Rest for supplies. Click on Ilonet's Fork for a scripted interaction with a stuck cart.

Tips

Edér can be recruited early and his class choice is permanent.
Pay attention to enemy resistances, especially the Skeletons' high AR vs. Pierce.
The Rusted Copper Construct is weak to Crush and Shock damage.
The 'Trapper' trophy can be obtained by repeatedly disarming and resetting bear traps if you have Mechanics 1.
The 'Burning Bridges' trophy involves making aggressive choices that will cause Edér to hate you.
Use Edér's scouting ability with Athletics 1 to make the underwater swim easier.
