DOS2:Withermoore's Soul Jar

Withermoore's Soul Jar is a quest in Divinity: Original Sin II.

Walkthrough

This is a quest that is initiated after talking to Lord Withermoore in the Forgotten Cell of Fort Joy. In order to remove the spear pinning him to the wall, 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, he asks the player character to find his soul that has been separated from him by Braccus Rex. The vault containing his soul jar may be found in the Ancient Passage beneath Fort Joy. It may be accessed by interacting with the statue in the courtyard of the Joy at Template:Coords. Once in, pull the lever at Template:Coords 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. Enter to get to the Fort Joy Prison. At Template:Coords, a lever can be revealed with enough wits that, when switched, reveals a hatch under the altar. Entering the hatch sends you to the Ancient Passage and a room with 5 identical 'Withermoore's Soul Jar.' The correct jar is the northwest one, with the 'Supplicant' plaque. 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.

From here, you can either:

1. Destroy the soul jar and free Lord Withermoore, grants 1600 xp

2. Pick up the jar and go back to Withermoore, telling him you have his soul jar, grants 1400 xp

3. Both-- Return to Withermoore but refuse to hand it over. While in dialogue, switch to another party member and have them destroy the soul jar for a total of 2800 xp

Note: You may also choose to kill him instead of destroying his soul jar, only granting 200 xp for his death, but looting his corpse gives you Withermoore's Girdle.

In any case, the quest ends there.
