Walkthrough[]
Upon completing "Destroying the Dark Witnesses," Wyress Freyda will tell you that Uela is here, but that her wards are weakening Wyrd magic. She will task you with destroying the Reachmen totems, alongside her sister Wyress Rashan. She will call Rashan to her after you are done talking.
Rachan is the wolf. Speak with her and she will say she will help you destroy the totems. The first totem is to your north, unguarded in a circle of fences. Destroy it, then head west for the second totem, which will be west of the crossroads among similar fences. South of this totem is Wyress Shannia, who will give you the quest "The Last Spriggan." That quest takes place in the same areas as this one, so it is efficient to do both simultaneously. Either way, head further west and you will find the third totem, though there will be many Reachmen and Lurchers in your way. Once all of the totems are gone, speak with Wyress Rashan and she will confirm that the magic is returning to the forest. She will tell you to meet her by the old tower to deal with Uela. After you are done talking, a Strange Crow will appear to act as Uela's spokesperson. She will warn you that only the crows can find out her location, and they will never help you.
Head to the tower and speak with Rashan. She will be in her human form now. She will tell you that Uela has taken control of the crows' physical forms, and that their spirits can only watch from the nature realm what happens to their bodies. She will then use her forest magic to bring you into the nature realm in the form of a wolf, so that you may speak with the crows.
The Vestige must then talk to several crows. The first one approached will have the following to say:
"Must be nice to be able to travel between this realm and the physical realm. I'm stuck here. Yes. I'm stuck here."
- We're here to help. How do we find the Hagraven? "If she were here, I'd peck her eyes out. No. She's not in the nature realm. But of course, you can't reach her in the physical realm. Maybe one of the other crows knows more."
- I'll look for another crow then.
The second crow will say:
"A wolf tried to eat me once, you know. Just because we're in the nature realm, you think we can be friends now? Maybe. Did that Hagraven trap your spirit here as well?"
- No, but I am trying to find her. "Oh? If you can access the physical realm, you might have a chance. The door to Uela's lair is in this realm, you see, but you have to break the wards in the physical realm. There's more to it, though. You should ask one of the other crows."
- All right. I'll look for another crow then.
The third crow will finish:
"We can dispense with the small talk. I know why you're here. Even in the nature realm, news travels fast among crows. Getting to Uela is impossible though. Even if you break her wards, entering her domain will corrupt your soul."
- What if I don't have a soul? "Well, why didn't you just say so? That would work. There is something different about you, isn't there? Uela's lair is in the island tower. Break the wards in the physical realm, but enter the door from here. Don't tell her I told you, though."
With this information, head to the island tower in the south. There, speak with Wyress Rashan and she will tell you that she is going to need you to return with Uela's heart so that she can perform the ritual to cleanse the forest. When you are done talking, she will return to the physical realm to break the ward on the door. Head in. You will no longer be in wolf form; rather you will return to being your normal self. Head along the path to the big room, where Uela will be waiting. She is hostile and will put up quite a fight, but once she is dead, you should take out her heart and then talk to the crow at the entrance.
When Uela is dead, the crow will remark:
"Freedom. Freedom at last! And Uela dead. Dead!"
- Yes, she is. "Sweet relief. No more voices, no more restraint. Bodies and minds together again. The crows of Jackdaw Cove are in your debt."
- I'm just glad you're free again. "Yes, free and feasted! The Hagraven was all skin and bones, but what's there is sweet to eat. So thank you for saving us, and thank you for supper!"
- I'll leave you to enjoy that then.
- I'm just glad you're free again. "Yes, free and feasted! The Hagraven was all skin and bones, but what's there is sweet to eat. So thank you for saving us, and thank you for supper!"
When Uela is killed, the crow will also say "You killed her. You freed us. Haha!"
After talking to the crow, head outside and speak with Wyress Rashan. She will tell you that Uela's death prompted infighting among the Reachmen, allowing the wyresses to easily dispose of them. She will then ask you to do the honours of partaking in the ritual to cleanse the land. The wyresses will create a ritual circie; throw Uela's heart into it and the forest will be cleared of the Reachmen's vines. Talk to Rashan after this to finish the quest and start the next one, "The Parley."
