Main mission - The Search for Survivors | Act 1 Dungeon Siege III Guide

You will receive this mission from Odo in Chapterhouse (M4,1) and then move it forward thanks to Katarina in Raven's Rill (M3,7). Katarina (or a different character, if you're playing as her) will want you to reach the entrance to the Stormsong Cavern, where you need to talk with Leona. In order to get there, you have to exit Raven's Rill and head west - on the crossroads (M5,1) you must go right to reach the cavern. After a short conversation with Leon (M5,2) and taking a look around the area, move to eliminating the enemies (north-west road).

Beautiful and dangerous.

After a series of fights with hordes of Lascanzi, you will reach a boss - Vera the witch (M5,3). You have to look out for her and divide attacks between her and her underlings (she can revive them).

This time attacking Vera is more important than killing her allies.

After the fight, open the cage (M5,4) to free Anjala (or Lucas of you're playing as Anjala yourself) and Armanda. During the conversation you can calm down your new companion to increase her/his trust (in case of the Archon you must choose "you wanted justice").

Leona will appear arrive right afterwards and give you another mission - clearing the manor (Gunderic Manor). Leave the cave - you will have to fight a few Lascanzi on your way, but they shouldn't cause you any problems. Afterwards head to Odon - on your way you will be accosted by Tatyana in Raven's Rill, who will ask you to find her husband (Hiding Out).

After a short talk with Odon, he will give you Enter the Mournweald.
