This article is about the item. For the quest of the same name, see The Grey Sleeper (quest). |
The Grey Sleeper is a soulbound estoc in Pillars of Eternity, added in The White March - Part I expansion.
Unlike the other soulbound weapons, it can be used by any class but the bond is permanent: once bound to a character, it cannot be severed. Upgrading is done by completing stages of the Grey Sleeper quest that starts once the weapon is obtained.
Description[]
As with other soulbound weapons, the in-game description of The Grey Sleeper is only gradually revealed. The description starts with two verses and a new one is added each time the weapon is upgraded.
