Objectives
Walkthrough
After awakening on the Merryweather, leave the tutorial deck to speak with 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 
Payde, who must be interacted with to gain access. Otherwise, the player character can pickpocket the 
Key to Stern Room from him.
In the stern room, 
Windego is being interrogated by three Magisters. She confesses to killing Finn, breaks her 
Source Collar, and kills all nearby 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, 
Ricks and 
Murtof have locked themselves in the easternmost room. The player character must attack the door to break it and gain access. Upon entering, Murtof immediately questions the player character. If failing to persuade the Magisters to lay down arms, both Ricks and Murtof become hostile.
On the other side of the middle level, 
Medwyn's corpse can be found, which contains a Skull-Marked Key unlocking the skull-marked door with Deathfog Barrels. If entering, tentacles smash through the walls, breaking the death fog barrels and contaminating the area.
On the upper level, the player character immediately enters combat with two 
Viscous Voidlings. After killing the Voidlings, continue along the upper deck, where tentacles break explosive barrels, killing 
Captain Kalwyn and another Magister Knight. Investigating Kalwyn's body reveals a 
Blinding Radiance Scroll.
On the northern end of the upper level, 
Gil is in a lifeboat with two children. He is rushed to leave, but one of the children insists on saving survivors on the lower deck. The player character can leave immediately or return to the lower deck.
If returning to the lower deck, 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 
High Judge Orivand, and ending the Prologue.
