Walkthrough

After awakening on the Merryweather, this quest is initiated by speaking to Magister Waters on the lower deck of the ship. Water is in a room guarded by Cadoc and Marel, investigating the remains of a Sourcerer's corpse.

Elves can Sneak behind Waters to retrieve a piece of Finn's corpse. Upon consuming, the skill Adrenaline is learned, and Finn's memories reveal an old woman approaching him. This information can be relayed to Waters.

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