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.

Eulogy for the Dead is a side quest in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

Synopsis[ | ]

Kasu, High Priest of Berath, wants to recover a sacred text, the Eulogy of Yseyr. The eulogy rests in the catacombs under the Sacred Stair, a place where only those marked by Berath may enter.

Walkthrough[ | ]

  • Visit High Priest Kasu (Temple of Berath) to start the quest. Nearing death, he wants to obtain the eulogy, but explains that the tombs only open to those baring Berath's chime. Kasu gives you The Eel's Coil, an item which will resonate with your "chime" to open the entrance to The Hanging Sepulchers, found on the lower walkway outside the temple.
  • The eulogy itself was split into three odes written by Yseyr's champions, and placed next to their tombs. Finding those tombs will be the first step. The locations of the tombs are covered on the page The Hanging Sepulchers, including a way to talk Yseyr himself down.
  • Once you have obtained all three tablets (Eulogy to Yseyr - The Vigil, Eulogy to Yseyr - The Gate, and Eulogy to Yseyr - The Sword) return to the priest.
