Purifier is a Parallel Quest in Outward.
Timer
This quest has a timer of 35 days, which begins at the start of the quest. Failing to complete the quest in this time-frame will result in an immediate failure.
Note: The quest will not fail if you are in the Hallowed Marsh region when the 35-day timer elapses.
Additionally, this quest will also be failed if you have not completed it by the time you reach your third faction quest, and wait the 3 days.
Walkthrough
- Find white-clad missionaries on the Pilgrim Road, flanked with luminous Sun-Pillars, in the Hallowed Marsh.
- See this map for the two possible locations
- If they are not at the main location, check the alternate location
- [Optional] Talk to Mofat in the city of Monsoon.
- Mofat can be found to your left after entering Monsoon.
- [Optional] Talk to the Philosopher Trainer Alemmon, in the north-east of Monsoon.
- Talk to Alemmon, who can be found on the opposite side of Monsoon to Mofat.
- Find the bandit hideout on spiraling cliffs, in the Hallowed Marsh's west.
- Head to Dead Roots, and enter from either the top or bottom entrance (top is faster).
- Investigate the hideout for several pieces of evidence.
- You will need to find 3 notes in this dungeon to use as evidence. The notes have a glowing indicator on them and are all found on tables and surfaces through the dungeon.
- While only 3 notes are required, obtaining all 4 will grant you the Dead Roots Key.
- From the top entrance:
- Head directly forward over the first wooden bridge, down a set of stairs, and through the bushes into a hidden room with an Immaculate. The note is on the table at the back of this room.
- Head back and continue down through the dungeon. Walk until there are metal cages on your left and wooden stairs ahead. The note is on the left on a small table.
- The third note is down the wooden stairs on the next table.
- The final note is at the bottom of the dungeon, near the bottom entrance on a table.
- [Optional] Once all 4 notes are obtained, receive the Dead Roots Key and use it to unlock the wooden 'Tuanosaur' door to Dead Tree, near the bottom of the dungeon. A fifth note implicating Jager Sullivan and the Glowstone Backpack are in this room, guarded by an Immaculate and Illuminator Horror.
- [Optional] Present the evidence to Damian Lockwell, in Monsoon.
- Talking to him with all evidence will bolster the security of Monsoon, helping you in the final faction quest.
- Go to the City of Berg, in the Enmerkar Forest, to warn someone in a position of authority.
- See the Outcomes section below for information about the different rewards from the different NPCs.
Outcomes
Success
If you spoke to Lockwell about the evidence:
- The number of Guards in Monsoon is increased, and they will aid in the player's final faction quest.
Depending on who you hand the evidence to:
- Rissa Aberdeen: 25
silver, and a Writ of Tribal Favor.
- Note: Rissa may be at the Burnt Outpost if you did not finish your faction quest yet after the attack on Berg
- Mathias: Mathias opens a small equipment store, 25
silver, and 1 Palladium Scrap. - Sagard Battleborn: 50
silver, and members of Blue Chamber or Holy Mission can ask Sagard for a favor in the final quest instead of dueling him. - Cyril Turnbull: 50 or 75
silver, and a Trader Backpack (details unclear on what causes 50 or 75 silver) - Jager Sullivan: 100
silver, and 3 Hackmanite
- Note: He will give 75
silver, and 2 Hackmanite instead if you did not read the evidence inside Dead Tree. (This may be currently bugged, as it is possible to get the lesser reward even with all evidence.)
- Note: He will give 75
Holy Mission
Members of the Holy Mission will also receive on success:
- 3x Survivor Elixir and the recipe for it, provided you did not give the evidence to Jager.
Sorobor Academy
Sorobor Academy members may hand the evidence to a member of the Academy:
- Headmaster Raul Salaberry: Unlocks the Preferential Treatment passive
- Sekiguchi Meiko: Removes the increased buy prices in Harmattan Market
- Hugo Lockwell: Unlocks a private stock of Potions which he sells in packs at a discount
Failure
- The amount of enemies in Monsoon during your final quest is increased, and the number of Guards is reduced
