The Chieftain's Hair | The Sword Coast - Quests Risen 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Quest giver: Chani [#1]
This quest is part of: Chani's Plan
To be able to reach and defeat Crow, you have to strip him of his influence over the Natives first. To this end, you should possess the leader of the savages, Bakir [#2], who had allied himself with the villainous pirate. Obviously, you can't accomplish that in a direct way - it would have ended in a quick and painful death. You need to be smart by making a Voodoo doll which will give you power over the Natives' chieftain. Unfortunately, it's only possible after obtaining his hair, which in itself is quite problematic.
But there is a solution - bewitch Jim, a pirate [#3] in the savages' camp, and use his own hands to obtain the desired hair (dreadlocks?). Naturally, to possess the pirate's body you need to have his hair first. Stealing them is the goal of the Ouch! quest (chose the option with the protective amulet against witches). Once you have it, create the magical artifact by connecting Jade, Teeth, Eyes, A knot of Jim's hair and an empty Voodoo doll (quest: A Doll for Jim).
This is when the most interesting part of the quest begins. Approach Jim and equip his doll (same as with sabres or pistols). Pull it out and use it on the pirate. After a while you'll wake in the poor fellow's body, right in the middle of the Earth Temple [#4]. Reaching Crow and Bakir [#2] inside won't go without trouble, though - that would be too much to ask.
Note! While being in the body of a possessed person, you can't save the game or change your equipment. Be on your guard!
As Jim, you need to complete the Redistributing the Loot and Distract Skinner quests. The first is about delivering three artifacts to Floyd [#5], which are in the possession of the rest of the pirates [#6] - Gunpowder Ben, Digger and Skinner. Robbing the first two isn't difficult, but the last one is a problem (it involves the second quest). You can look inside his pockets only when you get him drunk on Rum (bought from Digger after paying off your debt). Having all three artifacts, hand them to Floyd and you can enter the temple.
Inside, you will find Crow having a conversation with Bakir. Talk to the Native and then steal the Long strand of Bakir's hair. With it, leave the temple. At this moment the quest is completed.
