'''Withermoore's Soul Jar''' is a {{DOS2|Quests|quest}} in {{DOS2|Act One}} of ''[[Divinity: Original Sin II]]''. It is part of the chronicle {{DOS2|Escape from Reaper's Eye}}. The quest is initiated by speaking with {{MdChar DOS2|Lord Withermoore}} in the {{DOS2|Forgotten Cell}}.

== Objectives ==
''The sequence and content of quests vary based on party choices.''
{{Questline DOS2
| quest = Deal with Withermoore's lance.
| content = * We met an undead knight, skewered with a lance and pinned to a wall for centuries on end. Do we help him or leave him?}}

{{Questline DOS2
| quest = Find Withermoore's Soul Jar.
| content = * Lord Withermoore's curse is lifted. If we destroy his Soul Jar, he will help us escape the fort.
* We agreed to help Withermoore. A switch on the courtyard status leads to the Phylactery Room and his Soul Jar.}}

{{Questline DOS2
| quest = Quest complete.
| content = * We destroyed Lord Withermoore's Soul Jar, freeing his soul.}}

== Walkthrough ==
To remove the {{MdItem DOS2|Spear of Braccus Rex}} from {{MdChar DOS2|Lord Withermoore}}, a party member must have >=12 strength, >=1 telekinesis, or break the spear. 

'''Note: If breaking the spear, the weapon is not retrieved.''' 

Once freed, Withermoore asks the player character to find his soul that has been separated from him by {{DOS2|Braccus Rex}}. The vault containing his soul jar may be found in the {{DOS2|Ancient Passage}} beneath Fort Joy. It may be accessed by interacting with the statue in the courtyard of the Joy at {{Coords DOS2|202|158}}. Once inside, pull the lever at {{Coords DOS2|211|661}} to open the next door. Using a prison key found in the easternmost room or through picking the lock, open the door in the northernmost room, leading to {{DOS2|Fort Joy Prison}}. At {{Coords DOS2|316|673}}, a party member with enough {{DOS2|Wits}} notices a lever that reveals a hatch beneath the altar. The hatch leads to the Ancient Passage containing five identical 'Withermoore's Soul Jars.' The correct jar is in the northwest corner with the plaque, ''Here lies Withermoore the Supplicant''. The other jars set off traps when interacted with.

'''Note: The northernmost and southeast soul jars trigger fights, each providing additional XP upon defeating the guardians.'''

The party can:

1. Destroy the soul jar and free Lord Withermoore (1600 XP).

2. Return the jar to Withermoore (1400 XP).

3. Return to Withermoore with the jar, but refuse to part with it. During dialogue, switch to another party member, and destroy the soul jar (total 2800 XP).

'''Note: The party may also kill him instead of destroying his soul jar. This grants 200 XP, but looting his corpse results in {{MdItem DOS2|Withermoore's Girdle}}.'''
