Walkthrough for the 'Strings of the Puppeteer' quest in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Includes steps for commandeering a vehicle and escaping Comorragh.
Walkthrough
- 1Commendeer a Vehicle: Make an Athletics (+10) check to reach the lower level. Demolish a structure (Demolition -10) to access a crate containing an Armour of Despair, Avenger Tactical Gauntlets, a Peripheral Control Monocle, and consumables. Head northwest to find Drukhari pilots and a craft. If Yrliet or Marazhai are present, they can pilot the craft to the Spire of the Reaving Tempest.
- 2Spire of the Reaving Tempest: If Marazhai is present, he mentions an ancient Webway Gate. Yrliet can also operate it if she finds a resonance device. Choose your party; Yrliet's companion quest, 'The Path We Lost,' requires Marazhai. Agree to help Marazhai find something memorable in the Kabal's abode to initiate his quest, 'Path of the Drukhari.'
- 3Find a Way to Escape Comorragh: Before entering the tower, search gondolas to the north; Marazhai won't find what he's looking for. He may invite you to admire the view; agree if pursuing a romance, otherwise respond as you wish.
- 4Spire of the Reaving Tempest Navigation: The passageway to the left of the entrance is bombarded by toxic bullets. Send a Lore (Xenos) specialist and trap spotter east and north to find a console to disable the guns (Lore: Xenos +10). Watch for traps. A barrier to the east of the entrance can be removed (Awareness +0) to access loot. Find a switch in the center to extend stairs to the northwestern platform after disabling traps.
- 5The Path We Lost (Yrliet's Quest): Continue east to find another toxic bullet-firing gun and a console to disable it (Lore: Xenos +10). Further east, find stitched-together bodies of Farseers from Yrliet's craftworld. Choose to wound the entity (Heretical) or end its suffering (Iconoclast). Remove a trap (Lore: Xenos -55) and head down stairs north to find a game board made from a Farseer's tissue. Make a Persuasion (-10), Willpower (+35), or Agility (+35) check to snap Yrliet out of her trance. Offer to take the Farseer's remains to the ship to gain an Imprisoned Farseer's Soul. Open a locked crate (Lore: Xenos -30) for the Special Privilege shield, Boots of Recoil, Gloves of Rapid Desolation, and consumables.
- 6Continue Spire Exploration: Head back up and down stairs south to find a barely-living Farseer in a vat; Yrliet urges you to free him. Use brute force to open the vat; the Farseer will die shortly after.
- 7Combat and Loot: Deeper in, you will be attacked by eight Bloodthristy Experiments and three Disciples of Pain. After defeating them, clear traps and search two loot containers for a Webway Resonance Device for Yrliet, a Wraithbone Woven Battlesuit, an Assault Cloak, and consumables.
- 8Rescue Farseer Eklendyl: The last Farseer is trapped in a device. Activate two consoles, one requiring a Logic (+0) check, to release Farseer Eklendyl.
- 9Interactions with Eklendyl: Use an Aeldari greeting gesture (Lore: Xenos +20). Allow Eklendyl to release the imprisoned soul and explain the destruction of their craftworld by a pestilence unleashed by Theodora. Make a Persuasion (-10) or Coercion (-10) check to learn they steered their craftworld to disaster following a false prophecy. Reassure Yrliet (Persuasion -10 or Lore: Xenos -10) that the destruction of Crudarach was due to Farseer decisions. Convince her to change the future (Persuasion -10). Eklendyl will join you to accompany you to the Webway Gate.
- 10Marazhai's Quest and Final Loot: Return west to the northwestern platform. Examine torture devices for XP and talk from Marazhai. Activate a nearby device to access a loot container.
