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.

The Surviving Face's Hunt for the Matron's Skull is a task in Seeker, Slayer, Survivor.

Synopsis[ | ]

The Surviving Face wishes me to travel to Neketaka in search of someone or something which persists without surviving. I can return what I find for favor with the boar.

Walkthrough[ | ]

  • You find The Matron's Skull in the northern part of The Hanging Sepulchers, in the The Sacred Stair district of Neketaka.
  • After picking up the skull a wave of skeletons around you will rise from the dead to kill your party. They are easy to beat so after them another wave of skeletons will try as well, tougher this time.
