The 12 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Pyer Matriste

   Dialogue[-35,-60] · Pyer Matriste

   In the cosmetics marketplace of Bonta, Pyer Matriste collects Clawigraphs, rock engravings probably made by the rats. The men he sent into the sewers are no longer giving any sign of life: he asks you to take over.

   

2. 2Inspect the first Clawigraph

   [-31,-57] · Clawigraph

   Enter the sewers at [-32,-58]. As soon as you arrive at [-31,-57], talk to the Clawigraph on the wall, right next to the ladder: you notice signs of a struggle.

   The Clawigraphs are stuck to the sewer walls like graffiti: look for them on the walls and pillars.

   

3. 3Inspect the second Clawigraph

   Combat[-31,-55] · Clawigraph

   Go down the sewers to [-31,-55] and talk to the Clawigraph on the pillar. Rats attack you: the fight can be done in a group.

   Spells noted in this fight: Healerat (heals 20 % of allies' max HP in a circle of radius 2 and makes enemies in the area unhealable for 2 turns), Drainerat (80 Water life steal), Pusherat (140 Air in melee, pushes back 2 cells), Collapserat (100 Water and -1 AP dodgeable in a circle of radius 2), Weakenerat (-10 % critical and resistances), Slowerat (100 Fire, removes 1 turn of hex and 10 Flight), Skewerat (130 Earth in a line of 2), Launcherat (80 Air and poison of 40 Neutral over 2 turns) and Aurat.

4. 4Inspect the third Clawigraph

   Combat[-33,-54] · Clawigraph

   Go down one map then go left to [-33,-54]. Inspect the Clawigraph on the pillar to the right of the room: another rat attack takes you by surprise, doable in a group.

   Spells noted in this fight: Skewerat, Launcherat, Aurat, Collapserat, Weakenerat and Slowerat as in the previous fight, plus Clarifierat (+15 % critical to the caster and its allies for 2 turns), Thirsterat (100 Air in a line and poison of 50 Air) and Refinerat.

5. 5Question the White Rat's Envoy

   Dialogue[-33,-54] · White Rat's Emissary

   The hairless ones are not welcome: they have broken the pact of the depths, and the White Rat is very displeased. This pact, unknown to the Bontarians, was reportedly signed between the White Rat and the steward Danathor.

6. 6Ask Danathor for an explanation

   Dialogue[-36,-60] · Danathor

   At the Bonta palace, go right from the throne room. To avoid an open war, Danathor signed a non-aggression promise with the rats. Pyer's greed broke it: mere apologies won't be enough, you will need gifts to appease the White Rat.

   

7. 7Talk to Captain Swindels

   Dialogue[-32,-57] · Captain Swindels

   At the militia, from the main room, go right then up to reach the dormitories. Captain Swindels understands the situation and lets you take weapons to offer to the rats.

   

8. 8Collect the weapons from the warehouse

   Items[-32,-57]

   Leave the room and enter the one opposite, on the left: it's the warehouse. Click the big crate next to the floor grates.

9. 9Bring the weapons to the White Rat

   Items[-33,-57] · White Rat

   Enter the sewers at [-33,-57] and hand the weaponry to the White Rat as an apology. The looted Clawigraphs are the legacy of the Sphincter Cell, but it agrees to let a few of them disappear if the arrangement is renewed.

10. 10Survive Swindels's ambush

    Combat[-33,-57] · Captain Swindels

    Once the White Rat has left, talk to Captain Swindels, who has followed you: he has been ordered to eliminate you, because you know too much. The fight can be done in a group.

    • Captain Swindelsfight · level 110 · 2,700 HP · 10 AP · 6 MP

11. 11Report back to Danathor

    [-36,-60] · Danathor

    Go back to the right of the throne room and ask Danathor why they wanted to eliminate you. He is surprised to see you and claims that Swindels acted alone. You aren't fooled, but order is restored in the sewers and a deal is reached for the Clawigraphs.

    

12. 12Inform Pyer Matriste

    Dialogue[-35,-60] · Pyer Matriste

    Go back to the cosmetics marketplace and tell Pyer Matriste about the deal with the White Rat. He regrets not being able to grab all the Clawigraphs, but it's better than nothing. The quest ends.
