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.

Bounty: High Arcanist Ysly is a bounty in Pillars of Eternity.

Synopsis[ | ]

High Arcanist Ysly has apparently angered the wrong people, as there is a hefty bounty on her head.

Walkthrough[ | ]

Speak to Warden Fyrgen in the restored Warden's Lodge in Caed Nua and accept this tier-4 bounty task. He'll only offer it to you after you have completed all of his tier-3 bounties:

Once you have the task, travel to Heritage Hill, enter the tower, and go up to the second floor.

Ysly (an 11th level wizard) and her party hide out there, and attack as soon as they see you.

Defeat them, and pick up her head from the bodies. Ysly also drops the unique rod Pretty Pretty's Rib and the grimoire Grimoire of the Elements. The Telaneir Sorcerers drop Sorcerer's Volumes.

Bring the head back to Warden Fyrgen at Caed Nua to collect your reward: Copper pands (cp)2,750.
