Following Garcia's Trail | Caldera II - Quests Risen 2 Guide

Quest giver: Carlos [#1]

This quest is part of: The Greedy Captain

You receive this quest from Carlos when you report to him after coming back from the Sword Coast (see: A New Ship). Your goal is to find Garcia - the pirate who owns another Titan artifact. Though it seems easy enough, in truth it involves a whole lot of subquests you'll be forced to complete. Even the first one, Mauregato!, can be finished in two different ways, depending on the faction you've sided with. Leave the Crystal Fortress and go to Mauregato's house [#2].

If on the Sword Coast you have sided with the Natives, you can obtain Mauregato's Wig and use it to possess him. Go to the east part of his house and take the Claim ticket [#3]. Show the document to the merchant Pantaleo [#4] (if you don't have it, you can simply steal the Wig from him, as long as your Thievery is at least 75). Regardless of the chosen option, the item will be yours. Lastly, go to the second floor of the hotel and use Di Silva's altar [#5] to create a voodoo doll. With it, return to Mauregato and use your magic.

The Inquisition's city could use some charm.

In the body of the grumpy politician, go to the cathedral [#6] and talk to Custodio [#9] there, who will inform you about a council meeting. Then, tell the man on your right, Puco [#10] how he should vote (for or against the alliance with Mara). Sneak into Mauregato's office [#11] to steal the Incriminating letter (you need to do it before going to the library!). In the library [#12] read the scroll with High Council Rulings - it will end the Following Garcia's Trail quest and start a new one - Maracai Bay.

If you want to finish the Mauregato! quest, enter Godin's office [#13] (opposite the reading-room) and tell him about the meeting. Meet with all the politicians in the main hall and carry out the voting. Unless you vote for the alliance with Mara and then reveal your treachery, the outcome of the voting will have no effect on the plot. Otherwise, you'll be killed and the quest will be cancelled! If that's what's happened, the only other way to solve the problem of Garcia is to do the Errand Boy quest.

If you want to disgrace Mauregato, steer the voting into not supporting Mara, and then admit to treachery. The man under your control will lose his position in favor of his opponent - Azuro.

During the voting you can utterly humiliate Mauregato.

If on the Sword Coast you have sided with the Inquisition, the Mauregato! quest will end the moment you talk to man in question. Since you weren't able to gain anything, ask the townspeople about the wanted pirate (see: Follow the Servant). Thanks to that you'll be approached by the Servant Azuro [#7], who will let you talk to his master [#8]. This opens the Errand Boy quest. It's divided into two subquests:

• Messenger's Attire - bought from Pantaleo [#5] for 500 Gold;
• The Signet Ring - has to be stolen from Mauregato's house [#2]. Get the Key to his bedroom (it lies in the room on the ground floor, and the cook Hermina carries another one on herself). Use it to open the door to the bedroom on the upper floor, and take the Signet ring off the table.

The signet ring lies in Mauregato's bedroom.

With both items in your possession, report back to Azuro. He'll give you a forged Pass which will allow you to enter the cathedral (put on the messenger's clothes first!). Inside, talk about Garcia to Custodio [#9]. This way you'll discover that the librarian Cassandra [#14] had talked with the pirate about books. Meet the woman, then (see: Scrolls, Books and Shelves), buy a key to Mauregato's office from her (costs 500 Gold) and steal the Incriminating letter from there [#11]. Next, enter the library itself (see: Access to the Archives) and read the scroll titled High Council Rulings. At that moment, the Following Garcia's Trail will end, and another one will begin - Maracai Bay.

Rewards:

• 500 Glory points for completing the quest.
