The Conspirators
"Return the Confidential Letter to Fedel."
Quest Objective
Fedel is greatly concerned that a Confidential Letter may have fallen into the wrong hands. Retrieve the missing letter.
Quest Rewards
- 35,000 Gold
- 18,000 Exp.
- 35 Rift Crystals
Obtaining both rewards
Once Ser Gabrian is given the letter (or a forged copy of it), the quest will be marked as "Completed". However, the Arisen can still deliver a copy of the letter to Fedel upstairs in the castle.
If the current active quest does not involve Fedel, he will have a blue question mark indicator over his head. He may speak as though the quest failed, but it will still be possible for the Arisen to give him the letter.
If the player plans to give Ser Gabrian a Confidential Letter Forgery, carry an original Confidential Letter in the Arisen's active inventory or the cutscene will not trigger.
Quest Walkthrough
his quest becomes available after meeting the Duke in the quest Come to Court.
From Fedel to the Cursewood
Speak to Fedel within the Duke's Demesne in Gran Soren to obtain this quest. Fedel seeks a meeting after nightfall to explain the sensitivity concerning the loss of the letter.
Sleep at the inn until night and head to the Duke's Demesne in the Noble Quarter. Avoid the night guards and wait for Fedel by the gazebo in the eastern garden area. Fedel takes time(upto 5 minutes) to come out, so be patient. There, Fedel will explain his quest and direct the Arisen to a location in the Cursewood where the lost confidential report was stolen by flying monsters.
At the crossroads in the Cursewood, the Arisen will find the remains of Fedel's cart and a Gargoyle will be seen flying away to the northwest towards Soulflayer Canyon.
Into Soulflayer Canyon
Now travel to Soulflayer Canyon to retrieve the letter. Reaching the correct ledge in the canyon can be a little tricky, but a pawn with full knowledge of this quest and Soulflayer Canyon will lead the Arisen directly to it.
From the west entrance, take a left at the passage fork. After slaying the Cyclops on the bridge, continue straight until reaching a treasure chest on the left side and a steep downward grade on the right side. Slide down the left side of this grade to the landing with two Godsthrone Blossoms (sliding down the right side leads to the main entrance). Slide down two more times toward the left to another area that may contain a snake and two spiders.
Collect some gold pouches, a Panacea and two Sconces on the left before encountering yet another downward slide. Slide down the right side of this downward grade to a landing with more gold pouches, the fleeing Gargoyle, quest items scattered on the ground, and a chest containing a Steel Beak.
Slay the Gargoyle and collect the Confidential Letter as well as the Parcels lying scattered on the ground and return to Gran Soren.
If entering from the east, just traverse the tunnels of the canyon until the fork after the west entrance is reached, and continue as above.
Return to Gran Soren
Back in the capital, one may want to make forgeries of the Confidential Letter at the Black Cat afore handing it in.
Upon entering the Duke's Demesne, the Arisen will be accosted by Ser Gabrian who was lurking behind a corner to the right of the entrance. This is the only opportunity to speak to Ser Gabrian. Either give him a copy or refuse. If refused, the letter must then be taken to Fedel.
The quest ends when the Arisen brings back the Confidential Letter to Fedel, or Ser Gabrian.
Rewards and outcomes
By forging the letter, the Arisen can obtain the gold and experience reward for the quest twice: first when giving one to Ser Gabrian near the entrance, and the second to Fedel. To collect both rewards, Ser Gabrian must be given his copy first, then Fedel the second one.
The storyline will not be altered either way the Arisen handles this quest, though Fedel is correct about signs of a rebellion. It seems the letter refers to the soldiers who later rebel at Windbluff Tower. Ser Gabrian is almost certainly trying to intercept the letter and thus is in league with the treachery at Windbluff Tower.
The sedition reaches its peak during the revolt in the later quest Pride Before a Fall.
Quest Notes
- Caution ! Completing both Trial and Tribulations and Griffin's Bane will cause this quest to fail if it is not already complete.
- Fedel will always observe that the seal on the letter is unbroken, whether given a forgery or not.
- Upon entering Soulflayer Canyon through the eastern entrance near the Cursewood, the Gargoyle is visible from the open area where the Sulfur Saurians lurk and can be shot from afar with the Ranger's Comet Shot or the Assassin's Lyncean Sight skill.
- Badge of Vows 47 may be found near the remains of the cart at the crossroads.
- (BUG) Pc, Nintendo Switch, - The game may freeze if Ser Gabrian is initially ignored, and he chases the Arisen to speak to him.
