Death Belowdecks is a quest in the Prologue of Divinity: Original Sin II. It is initiated by speaking with Magister Waters on the lower deck of the Merryweather.

Objectives

Quest content may vary based on party choices.

Find the murderer.
A Sourcerer lies murdered. The Magisters will pay for a lead on the killer. If Waters is killed: Magister Waters is dead. The Sourcerer's murderer is still at large.

Tell the Magisters who killed the Sourcerer.
The victim was attacked by an old woman.

Find the old woman who killed the Sourcerer.
An 'old woman' isn't enough information. The Magisters need more.

Quest complete.
A woman named Windego confessed to the murder, implied that we would have next, then triggered an explosion and fled.

Walkthrough

If the player character is an elf, they can sneak behind Magister Waters to steal a piece of Finn's corpse. Upon consumption, Finn's memories reveal an old woman approaching him, which can be relayed to Waters.

Otherwise, the player character can interact with Payde to gain entry to the stern room. Inside, several Magisters interrogate Windego, who confesses to murdering Finn before killing the nearby Reds and knocking the player character unconscious.
