== Walkthrough ==
After awakening on the Merryweather, leave the tutorial deck to speak with {{MdChar DOS2|Siwan}} on the lower deck. She directs the player character to the stern room on the opposite side of the lower deck. The entrance to the stern room is guarded by {{MdChar DOS2|Payde}}, who must be interacted with to gain access. Otherwise, the player character can pickpocket the {{MdItem DOS2|Key to Stern Room}} from him.

Inside, {{MdChar DOS2|Windego}} is interrogated by three {{DOS2|Magisters of the Divine Order|Magisters}}. She confesses to killing {{DOS2|Finn}}, breaks her {{MdItem DOS2|Source Collar}}, and kills the Magisters while knocking the player character unconscious. Upon awakening, the player character can take the nearby staircase to access the middle level.

On the middle level of the ship, {{MdChar DOS2|Ricks}} and {{MdChar DOS2|Murtof}} have locked themselves in the easternmost room. The player character must attack the door to break it and gain access. If failing to persuade the Magisters to lay down arms, both Ricks and Murtof become hostile. 

On the other side of the middle level, {{MdChar DOS2|Medwyn|Medwyn's}} corpse contains a {{MdItem DOS2|Skull-Marked Key}} unlocking the skull-marked door containing Deathfog Barrels. If entering, tentacles smash through the walls, breaking the barrels and contaminating the area.

On the upper level, the player character immediately enters combat with two {{MdChar DOS2|Viscous Voidling|Viscous Voidlings}}. After killing the Voidlings, continue along the upper deck, where tentacles break explosive barrels, killing {{MdChar DOS2|Kalwyn|Captain Kalwyn}}. Investigating Kalwyn's body reveals a {{MdItem DOS2|Blinding Radiance Scroll}}.

On the northern end of the upper level, {{MdChar DOS2|Gil}} is in a lifeboat with two children. He is eager to leave, but {{MdChar DOS2|Trice}} insists on saving the survivors on the lower deck. The player character can immediately depart on the lifebaot or return to the lower deck.

If returning to the lower deck, {{MdChar DOS2|Void Hatchling|Void Hatchlings}} attack the player character and remaining survivors. After combat, the player character can return to Siwan, who is severely wounded but alive. Regardless of whether the player character attempts to save or kill her, the Merryweather sinks, triggering a cutscene with {{MdChar DOS2|Orivand|High Judge Orivand}}, and ending the Prologue.
