Perhaps the biggest change from a mechanical standpoint is (once again) to spellcasting-wizards/druids/priests/et cetera now “Master” certain spells, meaning they can be cast once per encounter without taking up a slot in your grimoire. There are also the usual handful of unique weapons, smaller tasks, et cetera, though nothing quite as big as the raft of new features in Part One. A few pull double-duty-namely Stalwart and parts of Durgan’s Battery-but in general you’re exploring untouched areas of the White March region, from long-forgotten abbeys to military forts.Īs far as raw numbers, I count five or six major new areas and one new companion (Maneha, a barbarian). I half-expected to spend Part Two double-speeding through the same areas as last time, fighting new enemies on the same ol’ maps.

Seemingly everyone recognizes you-“The hero who re-lit the fires of Durgan’s Battery!” People are a lot friendlier. During the preparation step of the quest Battle of. Returning to Stalwart, you’re hailed as a hero. In Pillars of Eternity he can be found in the Command Post tent in the Iron Flail Fort.

Apocalyptic-that’s the best way to describe The White March Pt. The Iron Flail The quest triggers once you have completed The White Forge quest, and have rested anywhere outside the White March map.
