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.

The Crucible is a quest in Seeker, Slayer, Survivor

Synopsis[ | ]

Before the Faces of the Hunt deign to talk to the Watcher, the Watcher must prove themselves worthy of talking to. To achieve this, they need to retrieve at least one relic from the Isle of Kazuwari, so that they may trigger the next challenge.

  • The quest frames the collection quests for each of the faces and effectively aligns you with one of them, based on which artifacts you collect and which challenges in the pool you complete.
  • While you can unlock all three sets of challenges by completing the first step of their associated quests and offering the artifacts at the Pool of Memory, only one of them can be finished, thus awarding only one of the three soulbound items:
