The Sallow Man | Nameless Issle Divinity Original Sin 2 Guide, walkthrough

Last update: 13 October 2017

Note: completing this quest automatically cancels the An Unlikely Patron quest.

1. The Nameless Isle - Forktongue

2. Temple Of Tir-Cendelius - Alexander

3. Temple Of Rhalic - entrance to The Cave

This quest is activated automatically if you've sided with the Black Ring during the fight in the Temple Of Rhalic. If you haven't done that, you always can activate it in the Black Ring camp, near the Temple Of Tir-Cendelius. There, you can convince Forktongue, to give the Black Mirror to you and let you talk to The Sallow Man. If you don't manage, you can kill him and take the Black Mirror from his cold, dead hands.

Use the Black Mirror to contact The Sallow Man. He will demand you bring him Alexander's head.

Alexander is in the Temple Of Tir-Cendelius, where he congregated with a group of loyal magisters. You will have to fight them. Watch out the units on the platforms!

After the fight ends, take Alexander's head and use the Black Mirror. This will reveal the Black Ring's hideout, guarded by a troll named Krug. You can convince it to let you in. If you don't manage to do that, you will have to kill it. Same as the trolls from the Reaper's Coast, it will have the Troll Blood status, which allows him to regenerate once every turn. You can cancel that status with Restoration. If you also have the Teleportation skill, you can just move it into the lava below.

Once you're in the cave, place Alexander's head on the altar. This will open the passage to the main area, where The Sallow Man is. Talk to him, and give him Alexander's head.

Note: if Loshe is in your team, swap her for someone else before talking to The Sallow Man. Her presence will instantly provoke a fight, preventing you from finishing the quest.
