The Dragon's Way is a sub-quest to Escape from Reaper's Eye in Divinity: Original Sin II. It is initiated by speaking with Slane the Dragon Knight on Dragon's Beach.

Objectives

Quest content may vary based on party choices.

Free the dragon.
We came across a captured dragon, chained to a stake. If we could free it, it might fly us away from the island.

Find a way off the island.
Slane is in fact an ancient Dragon Knight. We cured him, and he promised to help us... when the time comes.

Quest complete.
We boarded the Magister flagship, the Lady Vengeance. We have escaped the island!

Walkthrough

Slane is held captive on Dragon's Beach, located on the eastern shoreline of Reaper's Eye. After destroying the two totems chaining him to the island, Slane reveals he is searching for Radeka's Purging Wand, which was used by Radeka the Witch to steal his Source and capture him. To retrieve the wand, Radeka can be found in a skull cavern near the Dragon's Beach waypoint at   X: 582  Y: 103  .

In the cavern, Radeka is harvesting blood roses. The Purging Wand can be obtained by pickpocketing her or defeating her in combat. If combat ensues, Radeka summons several beetles and Undead to surround the party.

After retrieving Radeka's Purging Wand, the party can offer the item to Slane (+2,100 XP) or refuse to part with it, in which case Slane becomes hostile and initiates combat. In the latter option, defeating Slane grants +6,000 XP and the party retain Radeka's Purging Wand.

To maximize XP (at the expense of the wand), one party member can begin a conversation with Slane. Upon starting the conversation, do not progress the dialogue. Switch to a different party member and attack Slane three times while Slane is still in conversation. Afterwards, switch back to the first party member who is interacting with Slane, and advance the dialogue to offer Radeka's Purging Wand. The party gain +2,100 XP for delivering the wand; however once the conversation ends, Slane is hostile and combat immediately ensues. Defeating Slane grants an additional +6,000 XP but Radeka's Purging Wand is lost.

Alternatively, the party can allow Slane to continue living his life after this quest, in which case he defeats the Shriekers barring passage off the island.

Tutorial

Destroy the two totems holding Slane captive at   X: 578  Y: 160  .
Speak with Slane.
Teleport or walk to the nearby Dragon's Beach waypoint at   X: 582  Y: 103  .
Enter the adjacent cavern adorned with skulls.
Retrieve Radeka's Purging Wand by pickpocketing Radeka or defeating her in combat.
Report back to Slane with Radeka's Purging Wand. Select one of the following options:
1. Offer the wand to Slane (+2,100 XP).
2. Refuse Slane the wand and defeat him in combat (+6,000 XP).
3. Offer the wand while another party member attacks Slane three times (+8,100 XP but the wand is lost in the process).

+{{MdChar DOS2|Slane}} is held captive on {{DOS2|Dragon's Beach}}, located on the eastern shoreline of {{DOS2|Reaper's Eye}}. After destroying the two totems chaining him to the island, Slane reveals he is searching for {{MdItem DOS2|Radeka's Purging Wand}}, which was used by {{MdChar DOS2|Radeka|Radeka the Witch}} to steal his {{DOS2|Source}} and capture him. To retrieve the wand, Radeka can be found in {{DOS2|Radeka's Cave|a skull cavern}} near the ''Dragon's Beach waypoint'' at {{Coords DOS2|582|103}}.
-Once you interact with Slane at {{Coords DOS2|578|160}}, you will find that he cannot talk to you until you break the chains or totems. Break the two totems and talk to Slane. He will reveal that he needs Radeka's Purging Wand as she used it to steal his source and capture him. To obtain the wand, go to the 'Hollow Marshes - Dragon's Beach' waypoint found at {{Coords DOS2|582|103}} and enter the skull-looking cavern at {{Coords DOS2|588|96}}.
-Inside the cavern, {{MdChar DOS2|Radeka}} is harvesting blood roses. By either stealing it from her body or upon initiating combat, Radeka's Thorn can be looted off of her body.
-'''Note: If fighting Radeka, be prepared for her to summon various beetles and undead enemies.'''
+In the cavern, Radeka is harvesting {{MdItem DOS2|Blood Rose|blood roses}}. The Purging Wand can be obtained by pickpocketing her or defeating her in combat. If combat ensues, Radeka summons several beetles and Undead to surround the party.
-Return {{MdItem DOS2|Radeka's Thorn}} to Slane for 2100 xp or keep it, which initiates combat. If you defeat him, you recieve 6000 xp and retain Radeka's Thorn.
+After retrieving {{MdItem DOS2|Radeka's Purging Wand}}, the party can offer the item to Slane (+2,100 XP) or refuse to part with it, in which case Slane becomes hostile and initiates combat. In the latter option, defeating Slane grants +6,000 XP and the party retain Radeka's Purging Wand.
-For maximum exp, return the purging wand to Slane, granting 2100 xp, and before ending dialogue, have another party member attack Slane 3 times and then end the dialogue. This will start the combat right after he takes Radeka's thorn, and defeating him grants 6000 xp, for a total of 8100 xp. You will lose out on the purging wand with this option.
+To maximize XP (at the expense of the wand), one party member can begin a conversation with Slane. Upon starting the conversation, ''do not progress the dialogue''. Switch to a different party member and attack Slane three times while Slane is still in conversation. Afterwards, switch back to the first party member who is interacting with Slane, and advance the dialogue to ''offer Radeka's Purging Wand''. The party gain +2,100 XP for delivering the wand; however once the conversation ends, Slane is hostile and combat immediately ensues. Defeating Slane grants an additional +6,000 XP but Radeka's Purging Wand is lost.
-If Slane is kept alive, he purges the shriekers blocking the entrance to the final fight in Act One against {{MdChar DOS2|Alexandar}}.
+Alternatively, the party can allow Slane to continue living his life after this quest, in which case he defeats the Shriekers barring passage off the island.
