Pillars of Eternity Wiki

In response to patch v1.3.7.0.1377 to Pillars of Eternity (June 6, 2024), the random loot tables shown on the wiki have been updated. These changes may take time to propegate.

As a result, random loot data is no longer accurate to old versions of the game, including all console ports. We'll be working to provide a mechanism to switch between pre-patch and post-patch loot for console players.

A Rising Star is a task in The Forgotten Sanctum.

Synopsis[ | ]

Bekarna might have regained her mind, but she still needs her grimoire returned. Problem is, it was lost somewhere in the Archives section of the facility.

Walkthrough[ | ]

  • Bekarna's grimoire is located in the Quarantined Section, on the left side of the southwestern room. A clue to its whereabouts is found in The Central Stacks, but is not required to complete the quest.
  • With the depleted grimoire in hand, you'll need to expose it to starlight in order to restore its power. To do so, you can either:
    • Place the grimoire on the pedestal in The Oratory of Wael during nighttime.
    • Walk outside to the world map during the night, a dialogue will pop up and the grimoire will transform.
  • Return the completed Bekarna's Celestial Grimoire to Bekarna. She will ask for a piece of starmetal next, triggering the final piece of her questline, Out of Eternal Horizons.

ID Objectives
0 A Rising Star
10000 Bekarna lost her grimoire in the Halls Obscured. She thinks it might have been cataloged somewhere in the Archives by now.
2 Scour the Archives for Bekarna's grimoire.
10002 In the Halls Obscured, it seems that all books flow through the Archives eventually. Bekarna's grimoire may have ended up there.
20000 A note in the Archives mentioned an anomalous grimoire that reacted to being carried into an eastern area of the Oratory of Wael.
20003 The eastern area of the Oratory of Wael has a breach in the ceiling, exposing the space to outside light.
3 Return the grimoire to Bekarna.
10003 Exposure to starlight restored Bekarna's grimoire. No doubt she'll be grateful to see it returned.
6 Restore Bekarna's grimoire.
10006 Bekarna's grimoire seems lifeless, almost devoid of arcane power. Perhaps there's some way to recover its functionality.
20002 According to the note I found, bringing the grimoire to an eastern area of the Oratory of Wael may help restore its power.
20004 Bekarna said that her grimoire thrives on starlight.
20006 The eastern area of the Oratory of Wael has a breach in the ceiling, exposing the space to outside light.
20005 Nothing happened when I exposed the grimoire to daylight. I could always try the same thing at a different hour. Bekarna might also have some advice.
End states
No 30000 Bekarna is dead.
Yes 30001 Bekarna's grimoire has been returned.
