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.

  3. Go to Valewood and head north-east until you see an outlaw/bandit. Kill him and then head east.

0 Late for Dinner
10000 The Black Hound Inn in Gilded Vale has lost its beloved cook.
1 Find Tenfrith.
10001 Much like the rest of the town, Gilded Vale's inn has seen better days. It doesn't get much business, but the inn's master chef usually draws in a small but steady amount of visitors - that is, until his recent disappearance during a routine trip north for supplies. The innkeeper has suggested he might have come to harm on the road through the Valewood, and is seeking aid in seeing the chef safely returned.
2 Speak with the innkeeper at the Black Hound Inn.
10002 Tenfrith was very grateful for my assistance in freeing him from captivity in the bandit camp. He suggested I speak with the innkeeper at the Black Hound Inn in Gilded Vale, who is in a better position to reward me for my efforts.
