Family Ties - Dalanir's quest | Companions quests Sword Coast Legends Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

While in the encampment, approach Dalanir and talk to him. Your quest will be to find Valagh to obtain specific information. This is why, you need to go to Darklake District, to the inn. From Valgh, you learn the exact whereabouts of Dalanir's sister. Go to the nearest city exit and set your destination to Belwar Mine. Follow the corridors of the cave, and you will soon reach the first riddle which you need to solve to open the next door. For this, you need to collect two, out of three, required crystals. The green one is in the chest in the Western part of the cave (M13,5) and the turquoise one is in the Southern part of the cave (M13,3).

With both crystals on you, approach the circle in front of the door (M13,7) and arrange them in the way shown in the above screenshot. The violet one is, by default, already set in its place. Leave one spot free, in the left, and put the turquoise one in the spot next to it. The next slot is for the green crystal. There should be no gaps between the two crystals, without any gaps between the turquoise one and the free one on the left. This way, you open secret door to Bregan D'arthe. In the corridors up ahead, there are chests. Inside one of them (M13,8), there is the symbol required for the next riddle(Symbol of House Mizzrym). As soon as you approach the altar (M13,9), place the symbol onto it and the next door opens. At the end of the path, use the lever to open the next door. While killing monsters, you learn that all of this was just a trap.

Note! That this walkthrough leads you into the trap is done on purpose, because in the room with the monsters, there is another dusty volume (M13,10) that you need for the Alteration Observation side quest.

After you defeat monsters and collect the tome, use the lever to get back to the altar. After you get to the altar, collect all of the symbols on it and on the three pillars (Remove the symbol) to unlock secret passage to the next temple. After you make it into the next part of the cave, first talk to Jeggred and enter the room and talk to Dalanir's sister - Talisstra.

There are several endings to this quest and they are different from each other, in terms of the reward and the presented situation.

If you kill Talisstra, go to the mysterious stranger to claim your reward (M4,Mysterious Stranger), who will present you with a dagger - The Crescent Fang.

If you spare Talisstra's life, you need to lift the curse from her, by finding the priest that can do this. The first one is Corellon Larethian of Luskan (Market District), whom you can find in the house to the West of the city. If you choose him, Dalanir receives +2 to constitution (CON) and +2 to intelligence (INT). You need to pay the priest 8000 GP for that. Another priest is Priest of Lollth, whom you can find in Darklake District. His remuneration is 15000 GP, but this way, Dalanir receives +1 to dexterity (DEX), +2 to intelligence (INT) and -1 to constitution (CON).

For completing the quest, you will be rewarded with 3000 experience points.
