Maracai Bay | Legendary Items Risen 2 Guide

Skull of Death

Obtaining this artifact is a very complicated process - you can get it only if after completing the Chaka Datu's Legacy quest.

There are two ways of completing this quest, depending on which faction you've sided with while on the Sword Coast. Most of it is exactly the same - the only difference is that you serve a different master (the Native supporters will favor Zaalu [#2], while the Inquisition members - Hakeke [#3]).

The Native fan will traditionally use magic...

The beginning of the quest is the same in both cases - talk to your future patron and get rid of their number two (see: Get Rif of Potaka or Get Rid of Daiki). When you do it, speak to Datu and ask him for three trials. This is when the quest Paws for Zaalu (or Paws for Hekeke) activates. Regardless of the faction, the goal will be the same - killing The Black Hunter together [#4] (see: The Black Hunter). The paths of both candidates will part after it's dead.

If you have sided with the Inquisition, you need to support Hakeke in his hunting skills trial (see: The Four Feathers). You need to collect all four feather left by Kenan. Bring your companion, then, and take a stroll through the jungle where all feathers are scattered ([#5], [#6], [#7], [#8]). When you have them, talk to Kenan [#9], then Hakeke, and report back to Datu.

While the Inquisitors will turn to technology.

If you have sided with the Natives, you'll need to possess Zaalu's body with a voodoo doll (see: Zaalu's Voodoo Doll), and answer Datu's riddles (see: The Three Questions). The correct answers are: darkness, time and nothing.

Regardless of the chosen side, the final round will always look the same - you'll need to face your rival's representative on a special arena [#10] (see: Duel with Zaalu's Halmak or Duel with Hakeke's Halmak). When the foe is down, simply report back to Datu. This is when the quest ends and you receive a reward from your patron (an amulet or a shotgun), as well as from the chieftain (legendary item - Skull of Death).

Bonus received: +1 to Voodoo

Cannonball

You shouldn't have any problems with obtaining this artifact. You can buy it from the storehouse master Mercutio [#1] if you complete the Storage Barrels from the Wreck quest for him, or by persuading him to trade with you (requires Silver Tongue at 65). The artifact costs 2000 Gold - there's no other way to get the Cannonball. If you don't have that kind of money, do some quests - most of them involve a certain monetary reward.

Bonus received: +10 to Shotguns

Jaguar paw

This artifact can be found in the temple [#1] east of the Natives' village [#2]. Kill the Termites prowling the area (not only Worker, but also Warriors). Go inside, turn left and get ready to avoid a dangerous trap - a swinging blade which will cut you in half if you fail to press Space quickly enough. If you survived, move forward and search the body of a dead pirate for the Jaguar paw. Leave the location, once again avoiding the trap.

Bonus received: +10 to Ritual

Note! There's also a Golden mask from The Graves of the Ancestors quest in this temple. Take it and put it back on the pedestal to activate that quest.

Broken rattle

This item can be obtained only during The Graves of the Ancestors quest - it's the reward for completing it. Here's how to do it:

Enter the temple that rises above the central part of the land [#1] and take care of three Ghouls that live there. Then, go inside the room with the Golden mask placed on the pedestal. When you try to lift it, a huge monster will appear - Yagul. The spirit will be angry at your behavior - you've just desecrated one of the holy places of the Maracai tribe. To repent for your sins, you'll need to recover three other masks and bring them back to where they belong. If you agree to do it, the quest will be triggered. Otherwise you'll have to fight Yagul and three Warriors - which basically means certain death. What's more, even if you did manage to survive, killing the monster cancels the whole quest!

A mighty guard watches over the artifact.

Head for the temple east of the Natives' village [#2] and get rid of Termites that prowl the area (there're not only Workers, but also Warriors). After entering the temple and turning left, prepare for a meeting with a dangerous trap - a swinging blade which will cut you in half if you fail to press Space quickly enough. If you survived the trap, move forward and search the body of a pirate for the Golden mask. Place it on the pedestal near the corpse. This will close the door leading to the room on the right (there are some treasures inside, so take them before closing the door), and complete the first part of the quest. Before leaving the room with the pirate, though, take the Jaguar paw lying next to him - it's a legendary artifact. Now you can leave in peace - the trap has been disabled.

The Jaguar paw is another legendary artifact.

The third temple lies north-east of the Maracai village - the same place where you've met the plunderers from The Peace of the Dead quest [#3]. Eliminate the Ghoul lurking near the entrance, and jump down to the hole in the inner corridor of the building (unfortunately, you're going to have to leave your companions). Kill another Ghoul and move forward - on the crossroads you'll find a body of a pirate. It holds another Golden mask - take it and get ready to fight a Guard. He's a powerful enemy, best killed by using the Parrot and continuously jumping sideways (he's pretty slow). When you defeat him, proceed ahead and immediately dodge the swinging blade which will fall on you at the exit of the corridor (press Space). Move forward, pull the lever on the wall and kill another Ghoul. Place the Golden mask on the pedestal in the next room and leave through the newly opened gate (you'll have to jump over a hole that got you underground).

Even a demon has to yield to the power of the Parrot.

The most problematic part of the quest is its ending - the mask is found in a completely different location than where it's supposed to be placed. You can get the precious artifact from a cave in the south of the map - the same in which you've found the wall of flames [#4] (see: The Barrier of Flames). When you stand before it, turn left and take the stairs up. Kill a Grave Spider which will dig out from the ground, and then take the Mask from the table on the right. With it, go to the temple north-east of the Maracai village [#5] - you should be familiar with it thanks to The Naked Corpses quest. Go inside and put the artifact in its rightful place. Yagul will show himself to you and erase your sins. This is when the quest ends, but in order to receive the most important reward for it you also need to go to the shaman Osamu [#6]. Tell him about your achievement, and he'll give you the Broken rattle - one of the legendary items.

Here's the last of the masks.

Bonus received: +10 to Black Magic

Note! The order at which to visit the subsequent temples is up to you - and what's more, you can activate this quest at any of it. Simply attempt to steal one of the masks - Yagul will surely notice.
