The Hidden Valley | Maracai Bay - Quests Risen 2 Guide

Quest giver: Valdez [#1]

This quest is part of: Maracai Bay

You'll receive this quest upon your arrival at the Maracai Bay, as soon as you talk to Valdez in the harbor. There are two ways to complete it - the choice determines the way they're resolved. The first on involves saving Angus [#2] (see: The Deserter) - if you take him back to Valdez and talk to the Inquisitor, you'll learn the true identity of Corrientes [#3]. When you next see him, the Nameless Hero will automatically draw his weapon and attack the impostor. It's better not to hurry with this option, though - it will cancel all the quest received from the impostor and his men!

Fighting the whole village - not a wise choice.

Choosing this option is quite unfortunate because it means fighting with every one of Garcia's servants all at once - including the Natives which you'll have to stun (you'll kill the pirates, therefore cancelling their quests!). Since the battle is extremely difficult, don't forget to bring your companions along, and what's more, flee the village - you have zero chances while you're within its borders! Only when you get back you can try to lure your enemies, one by one, outside and take care of them there. Once you've dealt with them, kill Corrientes and take his Blood of the Ancestors - it will allow you to pass through the wall of fire (see: The Barrier of Flames).

The second option is talking to the shaman Osamu [#4]. When you report to him after completing the Secret Entrance Found quest and talking to Corrientes, the pirate's deception will come into light. The Native will give you the Blood of the Ancestors, which will allow for a pursuit. Your destination is a wall of fire [#5] in the cave south-east of the village. You'll have to fight with two of the pirate's thugs - Egas and Palomo. After you kill them, go through the magical barrier (sadly, you can't take your companions with you).

Tomb Risen.

No matter which choice you make, you'll have to kill a Ghoul after passing through the wall of flames, and a little further after him - a Grave Spider. In the location with the latter, turn 180 degrees, climb the upper level and approach the wall with the door forged in it. There is a button at the top which will open it. This passage will allow you to go back to the companions you had to leave in front of the flame barrier, and continue on with them.

Leave the cave by the corridor right of the Grave Spider. You'll complete the mission when you see daylight [#6]. Now there's only Corrientes to take care of (see: Maracai Bay).
