DOS2:Merryweather
More actions
The Merryweather is a location in the Prologue of Divinity: Original Sin II. It is where the player character awakens as an imprisoned Sourcerer en route to Fort Joy.
Overview
The Merryweather is a Lucian-class frigate[1] travelling the High Seas. The Magisters of the Divine Order are transporting Sourcerers on the ship to Fort Joy, where they will be cured of Source. In recent years, Source activity has attracted creatures from the Void known as Voidwoken, which threatens to eradicate Rivellon and all existence. Thus, Sourcerers are shackled with 
Source Collars that stifle their use of Source, and shipped to the island of Reaper's Eye, where Fort Joy awaits.
The Merryweather is divided into four levels: a tutorial, lower, middle, and upper deck. To advance the story, the player character must progress through each level to reach the upper deck.
Tutorial deck
Upon awakening, the player character can access a nearby ladder to the lower deck. However, it is recommended for new players to explore the area to learn basic controls and game mechanics. In the cell area of the tutorial deck, 
Rennart guards an imprisoned Sourcerer, 
Hemwar.
Lower deck
On the lower deck, 
Siwan instructs the player character to report to 
William in the stern room, located on the other end of the deck. The player character can interact with others to learn an imprisoned Sourcerer was murdered and the killer still roams. To progress, the player character must enter the stern room, where the murderer reveals herself, using Source to summon Void creatures in her escape. In the stern room, a staircase leads up to the middle deck.
Middle deck
Two surviving Magisters, 
Murtof and 
Ricks, have locked themselves in a room. They believe a mutiny is underway, carried out by all Sourcerers aboard the ship. They are unaware only a single actor is responsible. To enter the room, the player character must physically destroy one of the locked doors.
Upper deck
On the upper deck, two Voidwoken immediately attack the player character. After defeating them, interacting with 
Gil on the lifeboat presents options for leaving or retrieving survivors. If returning to the lower deck, the player character and survivors rally against Voidwoken.
