| Pillars of Eternity 2 Video-Based Walkthrough by David Milward |
Spire of the Soul Seers
Flaune Elette
I have just entered the Spire of the Soul Seers. I go up the stairs at #3.
And that brings me to the stairs at #1 on the map of the Rooftop of the Spire of Soul Seers.
I speak to Flaune Elette at #3. She wants me to participate in an experiment that involves teleporting between pillars of Luminous Adra. I agree, and that starts the Quest called A Glimpse Beyond.
But I don't go through the portal just yet. I tell Flaune I have something to take care of first, and have Aloth take two abilities on his 13th level-up.
One of them is Superior Deflection, which increases his Deflection by +4. It's the logical choice for a Battlemage tank build that wants to maximize its Defenses.
He also takes Rapid Casting. Several of his spells, especially his offensive ones, will have significant casting times so this passive will definitely be a welcome addition.
I speak to Flaune again after that, and this time go through the portal.
*Evil* Glasvahl
I now show this part from the perspective of the evil party. Stepping through the portal brings me to #1 on the map of the Realm of the Beast of Winter. I go west and south, killing the odd Scourging Blight and collecting Spirit Residues along the way.
Zarathos encounters Glasvahl at #3 and speaks with him. The reason being that Zarathos had helped Glasvahl breach the barrier in the Noonfrost as part of the Pillars of Eternity 1 history.
*Evil* Soul Collector
I go east and battle a Soul Collector and several Scourging Blights. The Soul Collector moves slowly and attacks slowly (i.e., significant Recovery Time in between attacks), but it can score hefty damage and Enfeeble (-5 Constitution, -100% Healing Received, +50% duration of Hostile Effects) when it does connect with its attacks. But my party of 13th and 12th level characters now actually have little trouble quickly getting rid of the Blights and then ganging up on the Soul Collector.
*Evil* Rymrgand
I continue east and continue to collect Spirit Residues from the numerous Ashen Husks. Rymrgand himself speaks to Zarathos through the stone face at #5. He will express a desire to destroy the Watcher. The Aggressive option that welcomes oblivion will indeed mean the death of the entire party and the end of the game. The "Wait!" (which I chose) and Stoic options will persuade him to let the Watcher live. He asks Zarathos to give a warning to the Animancers, and then opens the portal at #6.
*Evil* A Glimpse Beyond
Flaune Elette rewards Zarathos with 1,800+ xp and 400cp to complete the Quest called A Glimpse Beyond.
Mirke gains two abilities on her 13th level-up. One of them is Superior Deflection. Boosting Deflection is always a natural choice for a tank, but in this instance also maximizes her chances of instant Recovery when using the Rannig's Wrath Rapier.
The other is Enervating Blows. It will place the Weakened (-5 Constitution, -50% Healing Received) Affliction on the target on a Critical Hit. And Critical Hits are more likely when using the Needle Strike modal of a rapier.
I leave the Spire of the Soul Seers. The Hanging Sepulchers are my next destination.
