ROGUE TRADER Blades in the Void Walkthrough

After completing Attack in the Silence of Mer-Segrit, Blades in the Void will update. Please check that link to learn more about what you have to do to complete Attack in the Silence of Mer-Segrit.

• Forge a path to Vheabos VI

According to Achilleas Scalander, the xenos raids may have struck the penal world of Vheabos VI. This report requires further investigation.

Visit the Mortus Acies system, and you will discover the Vheabos VI planet. 

• Find out what is happening on Vheabos VI

Preliminary scanning revealed a catastrophic change in the planet's atmosphere and devastation of infrastructure on its surface, and it also detected the presence of enemy vessels. Reconnaissance must be carried out immediately to ascertain the situation on Vheabos VI.

Before landing on Vheabos VI, you will need to engage in a battle against x2 Last Hatred Frigate. Once you defeat them, you will be able to visit the planet.

• Destroy the xenos and their minions

Set out on your exploration until you cross paths with Tazarra. Engage in a battle against a group of Gladiators led by her. Kill them to complete this part of the quest. Loot the corpses to obtain  x6 Poisoned Hekatarii Blade, x1 Blast Pistol, x2 Splinter Pistol, x6 Wych Armour, x1 Hunter Carapace and more.

• Wait for a response from Dargonus

Vheabos VI has been purged of xenos, but the raid leaders evaded capture. Information about the pillaging of Vheabos VI has already been sent by the Astropathic Choir to Dargonus. A response may take some time to arrive, and it would be unwise to spend it waiting on the poisoned penal world.

• Stop the xenos raids on your holdings

Achilleas has directed his spy network to discover the xenos' future plans and hunt down the leaders who were detected on Vheabos VI. Before any new information is found, attacks on the colonies and trading vessels must be stopped to avoid any further damaging the von Valancius. 

• Answer the call for help from Grantis

Achilleas has reported an attack on a world belonging to the Winterscale dynasty. Heading the raid is apparently one of the xenos leaders who has been carrying von Valancius holdings. This is an opportunity to strike blow against an enemy and learn more about a rival. 

Players will need to travel to the Palatium Stellos. This planet may not have been scanned yet, but it will be marked with a quest objective marker, so you will know where to travel. Once you get there, you can begin the scan and Grantis will be added to the worlds of the Expanse. When you arrive, you will be at the Governor's Camp. Follow the main path to advance and there will be a few bodies ahead you can observe. Watch out for any traps before you step. The path should take you south and turn west where you will encounter a few goods chests before finally reaching the camp as you turn north. When the path begins to curve north, prepare for battle.

Once you reach the camp, it will pan towards Marazhai and begin a dialogue. The objective will be completed in the middle of the dialogue. You will have the option to continue the conversation or [Shoot the xenos] or [Draw your Weapon] later on if you choose not to shoot the xenos. Eventually, Marazhai will state that the conversation is over and will initiate the attack despite your response. 

Get your characters into position and begin the battle and clear the xenos battle to continue. You will be up against a Kabalite Blademaster, warrior and other xenos opponents. There will be plenty of places to take cover. Position your melee attackers near individual opponents and position your. ranged warriors behind walls and crates. Pan over the whole arena to locate those hiding behind objects and clear them out. Loot the areas when you have cleared the battle and explore the rest of the governors camp for all other loot crates before you exit this location. When you're ready, head back to the voidship so you can begin exploring the systems fo the Cinerus Maleficum Nebula. 

•  Explore the systems of the Cinerus Maleficum nebula

The xenos Marazhai dares to give the Rogue Trader an ultimatum-- Fight a final battle in the Cinerus Maleficum nebula or continue fending off raids. It would be unwise to agree to terms set by enemies of Humanity, but it is permissible if it will mean an end to constant attacks.

Open up the inerus Maleficum nebula map to fulfill the objective. Upon exploring the planets of the Cinerus Maleficum nebula, you will also find a Mysterious object marked on the map. While viewing the star rmap, the objective will be updated and you will be tasked to travel to the mysterious object. 

• Examine the Mysterious object 

From the map, there will now be a marked Mysterious Object. Players can travel there from voidship to fulfill this objective.

The objective will be complete upon arrival. A ship battle will begin immediately. This should take you into a grid system where you can position your ship in a ship battle. You will need to clear the surrounding ships. Take your ship closer to view the nearby ships and focus your attacks to clear one ship at a time while waiting for the others to approach.  Be patient with your attacks. 

Once the battle is cleared a dialogue announcement will begin stating that a xenos boarding party has landed on a ship and are heading towards the plasma drive. End the dialogue and you will be able to choose the party members you wish to take to aid in the next battle within the Plasma Drive Chambers. Once you have arrived in the chambers, the objective will be updated.

• Stop the boarding party

You will need to go ahead and move forward to look for the boarding party. When your own party arrives, you will have the choice to head straight or take a right down the stairs. You will already find some of the boarding party members here including a Kabalite Specialist. A dialogue amongst them will then begin immediately followed by a battle. They will be spread apart so focus your attacks on clearing those closest to you. You will need to maneuver your members around the machinery in this area and they will take a few turns to approach. Watch out for the members on the second floor as they will be able to shoot at you from a move if you're not behind cover. Stand behind pillars, machines or crates to stay out of range of their ranged attacks. If you have a clear shot or available ranged attacks, you can try to aim your attacks to those on the upper floors. Those with a more limited ranged can be used to clear out those within the same floor. Clear out all the members of the boarding party to complete the objective.

• Disarm the Explosive Device

Your next task in the Plasma Drive Chambers will be to Disarm the Explosive Device. Loot the area. Head to the upper floors where the charge is. There should also be a goods box that you can loot. A surviving crew member will then also begin a dialogue talking about a man in officer's uniform. Choose your responses until you need to make a decision: 

1. [Iconoclast] [Let the officer slip into the hallucination] I think I hear your son calling you
2. [Heretical] Leave. the officer between the two worlds] I want to watch the scum suffer
3. [Dogmatic] [Excuse the traitor] In the name of the Emperor, death to all heretics. 

Choose the fate of the surviving crew member and you will get + points for the Conviction it aligns with. Your interaction here will also advance in the quest and will have completed the task to 'explore the plasma drive chambers.' You will still need to disarm the explosive device. There will be a device at the corner that you can interact with to examine the charge. After examining it, you should now be able to defuse the charge with Demolition. This will complete the objective. 

• Return to Dargonus

The rendezvous point set by zenos turned out to be a trap. The Rogue Trader must return o Dragonus immediately to regroup and clarify the situation. 

From the Plasma Drive Chambers, return to the Voidship bridge to return to Dargonus Mundus Valancius. View the whole map of expanse and look for Mundus Valancius so you can travel straight to Dargonus from there. On your way back to Dargonus, you will need to face Drukhari Voidships (x1 Dark Mirror Light Cruiser, x2 Immortality Denied Destroyer). Once the battle is cleared, you will gain some XP, Scrap, and additional loot. 

Finally, travel to Dargonus. It should have an active objective marker on it. Select your party to travel to Von Valancius Palace. A dialogue will soon begin with Clementia Wrserian. Complete the dialogue and another scene will immediately begin. 

• Defend the Von Valancius Palace

A fight will erupt nearby and you will join in another battle. When the battle is cleared, loot the area. There will be a few loot crates nearby, but make sure to watch out for traps on the ground. When you are done with this area, the path will take you straight north. Be ready for an additional combat against Tazarra and her crew. Afterward, loot the corpses to obtain x1 Bloodthirster, x3 Heavy Leather Armour, and more.

• Return to the ship

Upon successfully returning to the ship and speaking with Vox Master Vidgis, this quest will be marked as completed.

 

Dreams and Stories Walkthrough

WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER Dreams and Stories OBJECTIVES

• Look for a cache by the windows in Dock Alpha-Rho - The hint mentions a small quay and large windows - that sounds like part of Footfall's Void Dock Alpha-Rho
• Look for a cache in the old tunnel in the Shadow Quarters - The hint mentions "a tunnel in the shadow of a bridge, a bridge in the shadow of the great statue." It must be referring to the Shadow Quarters.
  • This part of the Shadow Quarters is currently under quarantine due to a possible outbreak of disease.
• Examine the cogitator by the statue of Footfall's founder - The hint mentions a cogitator and a statue in the Small Temple. Footfall's Atrium was once supposed to be the nave of the Little Cathedral.

ROGUE TRADER Dreams and Stories Walkthrough

During Dreams and Stories, players have to visit certain areas in Footfall and interact with them to find notes that point towards other areas. 

First, you need to find the cache in Shadow Quarters and Atrium.

 

THE FIRST NOTE

The clue to quest Dreams and Stories can be found in the restaurant area. 

THE SECOND NOTE

The second note can be found in the Shadow Quarters. This area is off-limits upon arrival on Footfall. After clearing the Janus planet, it will become available, and players may explore it. Head to the area in the following picture, pass a demolition check to be able to loot the cache. It points towards the statue of the Founder of Footfall, and a small temple.

Head to the Atrium, to find the third note.

 

THE THIRD NOTE

Return to Atrium, and use the computer (Realizing design) near the founder's statue to claim your reward.

 

Flame in the Dark Walkthrough

An attempt to establish first contact with Kiava Gamma in the Cranach system provoked a hostile reaction. The Lord Captain must review the situation on the planet and take necessary steps to reassert the Rogue Trader's control over the industrial world.

WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER Flame in the Dark OBJECTIVES

• Make planetfall on Kiava Gamma
• Find out what is happening in the industrial world: Kiava Gamma's manufactorum continues to operate, despite the presence of enemy Forces in the system. More information is needed to assess the situation.
• Eliminate Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim
• Find a way to the heart of the Manufactorum
• Return to the ship: The Vox Master is awaiting orders regarding the fate of this world

ROGUE TRADER Flame in the Dark Walkthrough

 

The Flame in the Dark Main Quest will start once you've reached the Cranach System. There are a lot of objectives and quests that an individual can do while progressing and most of the time Quests branch out and connect other quests as well. In these guides, we are trying to reorganize the quests on a level that one can follow easily. Now starting with the first objective.

 

MAKE PLANETFALL ON KIAVA GAMMA

Located in the southwestern region of the system, scan the planet and proceed to land at the "Manufactorum." Ready your party, as the upcoming events will lead you into a series of battles. Upon landing on Kiava Gamma, prepare to explore the Manufactorum's dark halls.

 

FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD

You will find a group of Corrupted Servitors in the room on your left. When one of them attempts to reach you, you'll need to pass agility and medicae tests. These five corrupt servitors will come in handy. It's recommended to save your progress in case of any mistakes later on; this allows you to go back if needed. The Servitors can be highly beneficial in the upcoming events, so it's advised to enlist their help. You will be able to do so following these dialogues.

 

• What do you find so appalling about this custom?
• [Observe the servitor] (try passing the Agility check afterward. If you don't you'll take around 7 dmg.).
• Find the source of the repeating clicks.
• Requirement: Medical -25, Cut away the tumor-forming on the spinal cogitator. This is the important one. If you fail the check you'll have to fight them.
• Um... follow your default programming?

 

 

Once you pass them, the servitors will move aside. There will be some goods you can pick up, including a Multikey. Proceed to the cogitator's panel; if you pass the logic test, you can trick the system and access the hidden data about The Fabricator-Censor. Leave the room and continue exploring the building, you will find The Sixteen Universal Laws: The Misteries' tome. Afterward, you'll face a Corrupted Magos. Now that's settled, head back outside the servitor room and proceed north to initiate a scene with a Tech-Priest. This marks another crucial choice. Any of the dialogue options will eventually give you the choice to either have him adhere to his protocols or attack him. Regardless of your decision, you will end up in a fight against him and several other Tech-Priests. However, your choice determines the location of the confrontation. If you decide to fight the tech priest in your current location, be ready for a battle and eliminate all kinds of threats. You will be dealing with a handful of Corrupted Servitors and tech-priests. This is going to be an easy fight regardless since you do command five Servitors. Use this to your advantage. If you choose to interact with him, pass an Awareness test, and select the option: 'The fabricator-Censor is a traitor to the Imperium and Humanity. I will not comply with any protocols approved by him' the quest will be updated. Subsequently, you will have to engage in a battle against the Corrupted Magos, a Magos Heretek, and a group of eight servitors (four volatile servitors and four corrupted servitors). After defeating them, loot the dropped items, including a Krak Grenade and an Omnissian Axe.

After the fight we need to backtrack to where we encountered the first Tech-Priest. If you engaged the enemies there, there's not much to do. However, if you go upstairs, you'll need to find an alternative route since the elevator is no longer functional. Be cautious as you navigate an area filled with scalding steam, causing potential injuries to your party members. Unfortunately, the Servitors will be stuck upstairs, but there's a way to bring them down, even without the working elevator. Return to where the Tech-Priest was. If your party members suffered injuries from the steam, head back to your ship to heal automatically before returning.

 

ELIMINATE FABRICATOR-CENSOR CUBIS DELPHIM

Continue exploring the left wing of the building to discover more goods. Soon, a cutscene featuring Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim as the protagonist will begin. Moving forward from the Tech-Priest, head north to trigger a scene with Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim, the main antagonist of this planet. Ask him everything, and eventually, he'll depart, bringing forth several enemies. You are not going to engage in a battle so relax. Proceed to the next floor where you'll discover additional goods to collect. Talk to the Lexmechanic to obtain information about the Fabricator-Censor, the sacred machine and the corrupter cogitators. Subsequently, the Secrets of the Cult Quest will be updated.

 

FIND A WAY TO THE HEART OF THE MANUFACTORUM

After the encounter, take note that to the north, there's a staircase on the left side just before encountering some enemies. Avoid engaging in combat at this point. There's a strategic opportunity to eliminate around five enemies before initiating any confrontations. Ascend the aforementioned stairs and access the door in this direction. Upon entering the next room, be cautious of a trap, disarm it, and utilize the console to lower the bridge where the enemies originated. Proceed towards the cracked wall at the rear, save your game, and successfully pass the Demolition check. This step is crucial for bringing the servitors back down here, ensuring their continued assistance.

After demolishing the wall, successfully navigate the Acrobatics check to reach the opposite side, where your servitors should soon appear. They'll join you shortly. Within this room, take a moment to save your game just in case you make mistakes later, and inspect the console located near the corner. Pass the Tech-Use check, then promptly activate the machine spirit to initiate a scene where some enemies outside meet their demise. Impressive! Now, proceed to loot the box situated in the corner, yielding Medikits and weapons. Once prepared, save your game again and use the nearby button to open the large door. Upon any movement command, the servitors left in the previous room will rush toward you, likely triggering the commencement of the impending battle. Exit the room promptly to join the fight.

There are several enemies, but as you can see the Corrupted Skitarius are very weak and easy to deal with. Upon concluding the battle, proceed with your usual post-fight activities, such as looting the corpses. Take note of the bridge that was previously lowered to the northeast. Before crossing it, move north from its location to discover a Tech-Priest on the verge of death. Engage in a conversation with him to glean more information about the ongoing situation. Although his demise is inevitable, successfully passing either the Persuasion or Medicae checks will reward you with some additional experience points.

Proceed across the bridge, but halt immediately. This area is riddled with traps, so exercise caution. Assign your primary trap spotter to navigate the surroundings alone and carefully inspect for traps. Subsequently, deploy your trap master to eliminate any detected traps. Before venturing south, take a moment to loot a crate in the vicinity, yielding a Multikey. Optionally, you can check a console to the northeast for additional items. There's not much interest here, so head south across the bridge to reach the circular area where Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim was encountered.

Note that the bridge extends further south, but interacting with the central console will reorient the bridges to run in a west or east direction. Although I won't delve into it here as it's not part of the main quest, if you wish to pursue Heinrix's Companion Quest, continue south across the bridge. Be prepared for a confrontation, and refer to the provided link for more details. For the main quest, Secrets of the Cult, use the console in the center and proceed east. Upon crossing the bridge, head north to find yourself at a fork. Descend the stairs to the north and interact with the console on the eastern side to lower a bridge.

Proceed to a locked door and utilize a Multikey to open it. In the next room, discover various goods, including a Melta Ultima. You'll also have the opportunity to hack the cogitator's system after successfully passing a Tech-Use test. Continue to the next room on your right, where you'll find more goods and a new cogitator. Activate the emergency bridge lowering protocol using this cogitator.
Advance to the right wing of the building, where two chests await you, containing a Flamer Digi-Weapon ring, a Master-Crafted Power Maul, and a Krak Grenade. Prepare to face a Chaos Marine and a group of Tough Cultists. After defeating them, search the corpses to acquire the Arch-Stategist's Mant, x6 Chainaxe and x5 Carapace Chestplate. 

Climbing the stairs to the north will lead you into a confrontation with a Chaos Marine. Overcome this adversary, and just beyond awaits the arena of Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim. However, for the time being, bypass this encounter and continue exploring. Head south for a short distance and inspect the mine carts to discover a lootable Valve. With the valve in your possession, return north and enter the room to the east. Inside, loot the container for a substantial amount of cargo, then examine the console and choose the first dialogue option. This attempt to open a wall will get stuck, so use the recently acquired valve on the metal component to open the door manually. Exercise caution with the traps as you enter, but within, you'll find another console. Interact with it and request Theodora's data, which will release some poison gas. Endure it and interact with the console once more to obtain the Data-Bank With Von Valancius Coat of Arms.

After that, I suggest a quick return to your ship to neutralize the poison or toxic effects before coming back to the location of these stairs. Starting from the stairs leading to the Chaos Marine, proceed south until you reach the corner. Save your game just in case. As you continue exploring, you'll discover an Adaptive Flak Vest. Eventually, you'll encounter Dementz; interact with him and, if you choose the option 'You are a heretic!,' the battle against him and some Servitors will commence. One thing to note is the Combat Servitor poses an exceptionally high level of danger due to its nature. Delivering significantly more powerful blows and having a thick defense. The next one is the Ruststalker which normally throws a Mindscrambler Grenade that binds your characters, leaving them unable to act. Plan accordingly and eventually, you will emerge victorious. Upon concluding the battle, collect the Portable Cogitator and the [Mezoa-Pattern] Plasma Gun dropped by Dementz.

As you progress toward the bottom of the right-wing, you will find the Redemption Gauntlets. If you're inclined, you can reposition the ladder here to access the upper region, which is beyond the steam-filled area where the initial fight took place. This concludes the exploration phase. Head back north to the location where I mentioned the Chaos Marine, and ascend these stairs. As you approach the area, a dialogue will be triggered, or you can opt to initiate the fight. You will be thrown into a battle so prepare. You will be dealing with a Chaos Marine and six other minions. Following the encounter, make sure to collect the Arch-Strategist's Mantle from the Chaos Marine's body.  Afterward, utilize the console located in the corner to elevate the metal beams. Proceed northward from this point, disarm the traps situated at the base of the stairs, and come to a stop. It's advisable to create a manual save at this juncture, particularly if the impending boss fight proves challenging. When you feel prepared, head east to encounter Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim. Be ready and brace yourself for a formidable battle.

Before you start the battle, use the surrounding covers to your advantage. Depending on your setup, place the characters you think its best behind the said covers. You will be dealing with Forgefiends, Corrupted Technomats, and Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim. I suggest taking out the Corrupted Technomats first and the nearest Forgefiend to your party since these are easy targets to eliminate so you can mitigate some of the possible incoming damage later. Do not forget that you still have the Servitors that will help you a ton in this battle. After defeating the first set of Technomats and the first Forgefiend, head to the next batch. It is advisable to not break your party's initial formation and little by little snipe the Technomats on the other side. While in the process, Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim will join in the fray but as much as possible, focus on the minions first, and then once the minions where taken out, focus on Delphim. Not for long, he will go down in no time.

After successfully defeating the Fabricator-Censor Cubis Delphim, this quest will be updated. Be sure to loot the corpses to acquire valuable items, including a Shifting Combi-Tool, a Carapace Chestplate, a [C-Delfim pattern] Omnissian Axe and a [Mars-Pattern] Lasgun.

 

RETURN TO THE SHIP

As you begin your journey back, you'll pass by a few cages containing piles of human bodies. Interact with them to inspect the mutants' bodies after passing a Medicae test. After passing through the next door, engage with the massive cogitator. If you choose the option 'We need to stop the cogitator, for the sake of the people still alive down there!' you will have to face a Screamer of Tzeentch. Once defeated, a few demons will spawn. 

After this battle, continue forward on your path, interact with Uralon The Cruel, and then return to the voidship. This concludes the Main Quest Flame in the Dark. Take this time to rest or do your upgrades and be ready for the next quest.

Hunger's Hand Walkthrough

The Liege of Footfall Vladaym Tocara has come with a request about the station's survival. His people are at risk of starvation, and Vladaym's current patron, Calligos Winterscale, is not rushing to his aid, so Liege Tocara is seeking a new ally and protector. If the von Valancius dynasty does not help him, he will be forced to submit to the rule of the merciless Rogue Trader Incendia Chorda.

WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER Hunger's Hand OBJECTIVES

ROGUE TRADER Hunger's Hand Walkthrough

For this quest, Tocara will request to supply rations to Planet Janus. You can drop by Planet Janus during the main quest "Reclaim What Was Lost" and "World Shapers". This will happen once the World Shapers quest has been completed once you leave the planet. In a set of dialogue options, select the option where you can send food to the planet's food shortage.

 

Tattered Spirit Walkthrough

• Meet with officer's on the ship's bridge - To coordinate the next steps, the Lord Captain must hold a meeting with his retinue.

ROGUE TRADER Tattered Spirit Walkthrough

After the events of The Escape, head to Footfall with your voidship and dock at Void Dock Alpha-Rho. The Liege Representative will receive you at the port, but an ambush set by a local gang called the Anvers will ambush the Rogue Trader and kill the liege representative.

Players can also trade with Vladaym, as he is a representative of the Kasballica Mission. 

 

As you leave the liege's domains, Vox Master Vigdis will inform that the ship is ready. Return to the voidship and the quest will automatically end.

 

On the Hunt for Knowledge Walkthrough

The representative of the Explorator Cognisance Fleet, Opticon-22, is willing to pay for information on planets studied by the Rogue Trader.

WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER On the Hunt for Knowledge OBJECTIVES

• Study ten planets - Ten planets worth of scanning data from the ship's augurs is a worthy start to the Rogue Trader's working relationship with Opticon-22

• Give the planetary data to Opticon-22 - The collected reconnaissance data must be delivered to the Adeptus Mechanicus representative based on Footfall

ROGUE TRADER On the Hunt for Knowledge Walkthrough

As soon as you arrive at Footfall, after the initial ambush, head right to find a tech-priest called Opticon-22. The tech-priest is a member of the explorators, and beside his wares, he can offer you this quest. To receive it, select the "I seek the friendship of the Adeptus Mechanicus" option.

Return to Opticon-22 on Footfall to receive a +1 Profit Factor.

 

Reclaim What was Lost Walkthrough

The von Valancius protectorate has been destabilised by the disturbances in the warp and the severing of trade and transport routes. Restoring links with key worlds will provide the Rogue Trader's planets with the supplies and support they need in this time of crisis.

WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER Reclaim What was Lost OBJECTIVES

• Restore shipments from Janus: The populations of numerous von Valancius worlds are in need of food supplies. Only the agri-world Janus has the capacity to meet the needs of several dozen planets.
• Deal with the disrupted shipments from Kiava Gamma: The industrial world Kiava Gamma provides the von Valancius dynasty with heavy machinery and a host of useful minerals not found on other planets. Controlling this industrial world guarantees the manufacturing power the protectorate needs.
• Restore the operation of the administrative apparatus on Dargonus: Dargonus is the capital world of the von Valancius dynasty and home to key administrative assets. Discovering this world will help to restore essential channels for communication and trade between the Rogue Trader's holdings.

ROGUE TRADER Reclaim What was Lost Walkthrough

To achieve the initial goal and advance in the primary storyline, "Reclaim What Was Lost," upon entering the Telikos Epsilon system, you will immediately initiate a new Main Quest called "World Shapers." Upon completing this initial quest and exploring the associated planet, it is recommended to return to Footfall in the Furibundus System.

 

RESTORE SHIPMENTS FROM JANUS.

While on your way back, you are likely to encounter events involving Cassia, relayed by Vox Master Vigdis. If this occurs, it will activate Cassia's Companion Quest, titled "Stranger Among Her Own." Additionally, as you navigate the space map, you will undoubtedly receive another quest Idira's Companion Quest, known as "Echo of the Past."

 

DEAL WITH THE DISRUPTED SHIPMENTS FROM KIAVA GAMMA

Now that we've addressed those points, let's shift our focus to Kiava Gamma. Locating this destination proved to be a bit challenging for me. It is situated in the Cranach System, which doesn't readily appear on the map. To reach Kiava Gamma from Footfall (Furibundus System), travel northward to Telikos Epsilon where Janus is located. From there, follow the designated route should be Orsellio Prophecy, Agathus Archides, Adermatt II, Tenebris Aquae, and Cranach. Certainly, we'll delve into the details of each system along this route, discussing what you can encounter and expect in each of them.

Within this Orsellio Prophecy system, we have planets that are relatively sparse in terms of content. One of them presents an opportunity for a skirmish against just a couple of ships that you can raid. Moving on to the subsequent system, the Crossroads of a Hundred Dreams, it offers a handful of planets available for exploration, albeit with modest rewards. The next planet on our itinerary is Pillars of Viridice, featuring a total of three additional planets. Notably, there is a planet shrouded in ice, housing an area known as the "Inquisition Shipwreck" for you to visit and explore. The remaining two worlds lack significant activity, but let's delve further into the details of the Frosted World.

To advance through this Frozen World, you'll encounter actual scenes, while there's loot scattered around, the unfolding narrative reveals the events that transpired in this location. Progressing through the area with cages, you'll enter a hallway where a surprise ambush awaits, featuring several Poxwalkers. Accompanying them are a pair of corrupted turrets capable of unleashing deadly firepower, posing a significant threat to you and other adversaries in the vicinity. This hazard has the potential to swiftly eliminate your party members of your party with a single shot, which is undeniably perilous. It is advisable to navigate the hallway cautiously, utilizing the nearby walls as cover to shield yourself from the turrets and mitigate the risk.

Following this encounter, you'll continue exploring, and there awaits yet another battle, the final one in this location. This particular skirmish is distinctive. Although it involves a straightforward confrontation with additional Poxwalkers, the crux of the challenge lies in dealing with an Occluding Sphere to successfully conclude the fight. The catch is that the sphere itself cannot be directly attacked. Instead, you must repetitively eliminate Poxwalkers several times. Every time the Occluding Sphere takes its turn, various types of Poxwalkers, including a Plaguebearer, are summoned into the fray. Eliminate the new spawns to complete the battle. You get to gather items in the area. You can find a key in one of the bodies that open a chest in the room before the hallway with the turrets. This chest has Inferno Pistol and Tempestus Carapace for you to loot.

Let's now shift our focus to Agathus Archides. This region offers additional planets for exploration, including a ship. Commencing with the ship, there's a minor event to engage in. While not particularly significant, you can uncover the Cargo rumor for Kiava Gamma here. To do this, when prompted, accompany Young-ho Sohn to the bridge, successfully pass the [Willpower] check, and consistently choose the top response to obtain the rumor. Alternatively, if you choose to follow Captain Venti, you'll acquire a substantial amount of cargo, which is also advantageous. Although the planets in this area appear empty, it's worth giving them a little time to gather spoils.

Moving on to Adermatt II, you'll find three explorable planets in this area, though they lack noteworthy content. The Recolligers' Plot, while accessible for interaction, doesn't yield significant outcomes. Entering and conversing with the occupants provides no substantial gains. The Unidentified Voidship, on the other hand, requests Flogiston, and you have the option to provide it if available. Alternatively, you can bid farewell to the voidship or even opt for an aggressive approach. Choosing to engage in combat leads to a formidable and challenging fight. However, if you decide against confrontation and simply bid farewell, you'll obtain the Pilgrim's Way rumor.

Entering the Tenebris Aquae system is the next step. Upon arrival, you'll immediately come across the aftermath of a space battle. This holds significance for Yrliet's Companion Quest, so be sure to investigate. Interact with the scene and have her analyze the xenoship. Employ [Commerce] and [Coercion] to persuade Chorda to grant you access to the area, which, in turn, will advance her quest. Additionally, on the planetoid within this system, you'll find a mirror that you have the option to take. However, it is advised not to do so. Instead, opt to destroy the mirror.

Proceeding to Cranach is our next move, and it's our intended destination! Upon entering, a brief event unfolds, initiating another main quest called "Flame in the Dark." Regarding the planets in this system (excluding Kiava Gamma), there's nothing particularly noteworthy. However, to land on Kiava Gamma, be prepared for a skirmish against a fleet of ships.

 

RESTORE THE OPERATION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE APPARATUS ON DARGONUS

Congratulations on successfully finishing the earlier tasks, and now that we are done with Kiava Gamma for now, let's advance to Dargonus, often referred to as the "Von Valancius" planet. To reach it, backtrack to Telikos Epsilon, this is where Janus is located and where we previously completed the "World Shapers" Main Quest, and from there, head northward. Naturally, as we journey, we can take the opportunity to explore other systems along the way. It's essential to consistently scan for routes whenever you enter a new system.

Starting with Pulvis Platinum, there are multiple space dust regions offering substantial cargo, which is a welcome bonus. Alongside a planet, you'll come across a "Gutted Voidship." Engaging with this voidship triggers a battle against several mutants. It's a relatively straightforward encounter, the primary items of interest here are a small chest embedded in the wall, containing a Distraction Cape which reduces enemy perception, and the Staff of House Cassini.

Moving on to the next destination, we have the Silence of Mer-Segrit. Within this system, you'll encounter four planets. The "Desert World" holds a notable discovery, the Archeotech Mechanism Fragment. It appears to be one part of a Mechanism. It's essential to take note of this detail. Additionally, obtaining this fragment will unveil the rumor of the Unknown Mechanism.

Now for the next destination, Langrenn's Belt. In this system, we encounter three planets, each devoid of any useful resources but featuring some scattered cargo and a Ravaged Void Station. Dealing with the pirates in the vicinity is necessary to explore the station. Notably, the station hosts one of the most substantial enemy counts. Many adversaries move in groups, and the majority are of the weaker variety, that are easy to clear out. After clearing all the enemies on the premises, completing this formidable encounter also fulfills the Hotbed of Xenoheresy rumor, initially obtained from Opticon-22 in Footfalls. In terms of loot, keep an eye out for the Ranger's Visor (providing a +10 bonus to Ballistic Skill) and any additional items from the named enemies.

Our next stop is the Nameless Star, featuring four planets that you can check and explore and a Projection of Warp. Notably, the "Oasis V" planet houses an Ancient Bunker area for exploration. Exercise caution in this zone as it is toxic, rapidly draining your HP just by being present. However, you can effortlessly open the bunker's large door by passing a [Tech-Use] check. Opening the door, though, will fulfill the Unending War rumor. The Warp Projection event unfolds as a text-based occurrence where it appears individuals within the ship exchanged places, leading to an unexpected location. Engaging with this event allows you to gain some valuable experience points.

Advancing, we encounter the Forgotten Twins System, hosting a sum of five planets and signs of a space battle. The "Jungle World" has a specific request for provisions, and fulfilling it with two will grant you the Needle Rifle, an armament inducing poison on an enemy for three rounds. The space battle is integral to Yrliet's Aeldari in Distress quest. To scrutinize the region, deploy scouts. After this, our course leads us back in a northern direction.

Moving on, we come to the Mu-Rho 79 system, which consists of just two planets, both lacking any notable resources but within the "Explorator Void Station," a beneficial exchange awaits and you can provide them with two units of fuel, and in return, receive cargo along with a Mechanicus Respirator. Let's move on to the next one, which is the Latotian's Passage.

In this location, you'll find two planets and encounter some "Unknown Ships." The "Dead World" features "Unidentified Ruins" available for exploration, including a Xenos altar, albeit with limited interactions. Activating the altar doesn't yield any immediate consequences, but your entire party will incur a Fresh Injury. While not particularly impactful, it remains intriguing to witness. The "Unknown Ships" in the vicinity are, unsurprisingly, pirates. If you intend to confront them, initiating the attack yourself is advisable to seize the advantage. The next destination is Mundus Nullius and I couldn't find any point of interest that will make the trip beneficial however, feel free to explore.

Advancing to the next system, Mundus Valancius initiates a conversation with your Master Helmsman regarding your arrival at the designated planet. However, before delving into the quest, take the opportunity to explore the system. While the planets themselves may lack noteworthy content, the Adeptus Mechanicus Ship stands out. Approaching it triggers scenes where you reunite with Opticon-22, the Tech-Priest previously encountered in Footfall. Alongside him is a larger Tech-Priest named Tarzus. Despite the array of dialogue options, the outcome inevitably leads to a confrontation with Tarzus and several other Tech-Priests. After the fight you'll get a lot of lore about the Tech-Priests Once ready go ahead and loot the bodies then proceed to do the Main Quest Spiders in a Jar.

Rot Walkthrough

A new, particularly aggressive gang has set up shop in Footfall, showing no fear of either the Liege or Rogue Traders. Their thuggish behavior must be stopped.

WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER Rot OBJECTIVES

• Find out more about the strange gang: It is worth taking a closer look at the belongings of those killed by the Anvers and searching for other evidence. The Anvers' brazen actions guarantee that they will give themselves away sooner or later.
• A note found on the body of Cinder, an Anvers leader, mentioned a location. Apparently, it's near the Adeptus Amasecus - the turn-off is visible from the bar's entrance.
• A note found on the body of one of the Anvers' leaders mentions "Sector 2"
• Visit the Anvers' base - The location of the base has been found - its entrance is somewhere in Sector 2 in the Shadow Quarters. The turn-off to the entrance can be seen from the Adeptus Amasecus. This should be enough to find the place.

ROGUE TRADER Rot Walkthrough

During the conversation with the Liege during Tattered Spirit, he will mention a slight problem that you can aid him with, in the form of a disruptive new gang. Asking him about it will officially start the Quest Rot. After you end your conversation and head out, Bastian Chorda, a member of Rogue Trader's Incendia Chorda trust approaches you and tells you to not accept the liege's offer, thus forcing him to accept the only offer remaining, Incendia's. He states that doing so will benefit both parties involved, and they will share their profits with the von Valancius house by allowing this trade to happen. 

Before anything else can happen, Bastian is killed by the Anvers Gang and a fight ensues.

After the fight, you will find the Anvers' Notes from the Atrium on one of the dead bodies. These notes mention Sector 2, in the Shadow Quarters as a meeting place. (Updates the quest).

Head to the Shadow Quarters, turn left and as you reach the first house get behind it, and take the stairs down. You will eventually reach a ladder, and as you approach it, a scene will be triggered.

Take the ladder up and face the Anvers' crew. Once defeated, one of them will drop Anvers' Note from Cinder's Crew, which gives more direction regarding the gang's location.

Head to the area marked in the following screens, to find the door that leads to the Dark Hideout.

 

 

Enter the Dark Hideout, once inside you will find the Anvers Kingpin, as well as his retinue of guards. After the conversation, the fight starts but before that, he activates the giant fan creating a toxic cloud in the area that inflicts the Toxin effect on all party members.

Head to the Anvers Kingpin location as soon as possible to activate the fan and remove the toxic cloud.

Defeating the Kingpin during the fight will complete the Quest. Players can loot the Pirate's Scarf from the Anvers Kingpin once defeated. Adrenaline Warboots can be found inside one of the crates in the area.

Spiders in a Jar Walkthrough

The capital world of Dargonus is home to the high aristocracy of the von Valancius protectorate. The power of any one of the noble families exceeds that of the colonial governor, and securing the complete loyalty of the nobility is an important step to legitimising the authority of the new Rogue Trader.

WARHAMMER 40K: ROGUE TRADER Spiders in a Jar OBJECTIVES

• Make planetfall on Dargonus - The capital world of the Von Valancius dynasty has been found and is awaiting the arrival of its sovereign.

ROGUE TRADER Spiders in a Jar Walkthrough

To formally start the quest Spiders in a Jar Quest, it automatically as soon as we arrive at the Mundus Valancius System. If you are following this guide, there is high chance that you already activated this since the Reclaim What Was Lost quest will require you to visit Mundus Valancius System. 

 

MAKE PLANETFALL ON DARGONUS

Proceed with landing on the Dargonus planet, specifically at the Von Valancius Palace. You'll encounter scenes where nobles and higher-ranking individuals extend their greetings. Amid these interactions, you'll come across two significant figures within our dynast. Clementia Werserian and Achilleas Scalander. 

 

TALK TO ACHILLEAS

After the unfolding scenes and when control is restored, access your map. You'll notice some of your party members positioned in this vicinity. While direct communication isn't possible, you can click on them to glean their thoughts. Additionally, there are containers on both the western and eastern sides of the area, containing only cargo. When prepared, head north towards the Von Valancius Palace. As we approach the palace, let's explore the area. Upon entry, a servant will greet you, providing information about your palace. Essentially, proceed north using either staircase at the top, head right to reach your chambers, and heading north leads you to the throne room. 

For the time being, ascend the staircase and turn right to enter your chambers. Once inside, feel free to explore the surroundings and gather any loot available, and notably, you can obtain the Breezecatcher Boots from the small hole in the wall near the entrance. However, your main objective is to head south into the adjoining room, resembling a treasure chamber, for you to be able to enter, you must open the passage using the button located on the shelf next to the bed. As you settle down, several options will present themselves. Opt for the following choices. Doing this will net you the Data-Bank With Von Valancius Coat of Arms.

Once you're done in here, leave your chamber and head north to the throne room. Look around for your party members. Just like before you can't talk to them directly. There are some containers we can loot so make sure to do so then it's time to talk. Let's start by talking to Clementia Werserian on the northern side. There's not much to talk to her about in terms of dialogue options, but she gives you a pretty good idea about what a chancellor does and whatnot. Subsequently, initiate a conversation with Achilleas, who is near Clementia. While the dialogue options might be limited, this exchange provides valuable insights into the lives of the local nobility. Once you've concluded these discussions, return to Clementia and express your readiness to engage with the Governor.

This transition will lead us back to our chambers, where the discussion with Governor Urbend Drivestem will commence. During this conversation, the topic of the outpost Vheabos VI will surface, revealing underlying issues. Additionally, the dialogue may touch upon our experiences in Janus and Kiava Gamma, assuming we've already visited those locations. As we approach the conclusion of the conversation, a new main quest will be assigned, seamlessly continuing from the current one

Additionally, there's a decision to be made regarding the selection of a noble house to stand beside us during our inauguration. Any of the noble houses present can be chosen for this honor. With these decisions made, the current quest, along with Reclaim What Was Lost Main Quest will conclude, making way for the automatic commencement of the next quest.

ROGUE TRADER The Emperor and my Right Walkthrough

The Emperor and My Right quest becomes available while progressing the Blades in the Void and after traveling to Von Valancius Palace in Dargonus. As you land in your palace, you will be greeted by Celestia Werserian who appears to be disheveled and will report to you about the recent Xenos attack which will also update the Blades in the Void quest. As you explore the palace and defeat the invaders, you will have another conversation with Celestia Werserian informing you that you have cleared the estate, this will add the new quest The Emperor and My Right to your Quest Journal. 

You will notice that some items and goods can be picked up that were left by the invaders. You can take your time going through them and when you are done, return to the Voidship to progress the quest. You can return to the Voidship by returning to the area where you first spoke with Celestia Werserian and the prompt to return to the Voidship bridge. After the loading screen, Vox Master Vigdis will welcome you and he will be giving his report and updates regarding the estate. This conversation will also complete the Blades in the Void quest. Shortly after, he will inform you about the preparations for the Magnae Accessio- the grand ceremony of the Rogue Trader's public induction as the heir of the honorable Theodora von Valancius.

 You'll have the following options to respond to the announcement:

1. "Why would I need some ceremony?"
2. "I have only just returned from Dargonus. What kind of celebrations can they hope to hold amid the ruins?"
3. "What is this ceremony? I swear an oath, then I shake a lot of sweaty hands?"

Choosing the second option will have your Vox Master bid you not to take likely how much they want to gain your favor, and that they're already cleaning up in preparation for the celebration as you speak. The first information will affirm why you need to enact the ritual, and finally, the final dialogue choice will reveal how big of a celebration it will be and that other Rogue Traders will be present. You'll then have more options to continue the conversation:

1. "Must I decide how to entertain my subjects now too?"
2. "Did the Rogue Traders from the other dynasties flock to Theodora's Magnae Accessio as well?"
3. [Iconoclast] "Let the poor be fed and fuel cells handed out to those in need. My reign shall begin with an act of benevolence."
4. [Dogmatic] "Execute every known embezzler, scoundrel, and conman. I will begin my reign by purging my realm of vermin."
5. [Dogmatic] "I wish to hear prayers and witness the people's faith."
6. [Heretical] "Now what does the rabble like to see... Give out enough amasec for everyone and hold fights between tougher serfs."
7. "Let them decide for themselves, both on this matter and the rest."

You can get information by choosing the first two options first if you want. Choosing the third option grants you a +3 in Iconoclast. You'll then have to choose two Companions who will accompany you during the celebrations. This may or may not affect your relationship with them. After you make your choice, your conversation with the Vox Master will end.

When you're ready to progress the Quest, head back to the Von Valancius Palace in Dargonus. Head straight to the throne room inside to speak to the Master of Ceremonies. You'll have the following initial dialogue options to start with:

1. "You have been entrusted with arranging the festivities?"
2. "Is everything ready?"
3. "Then let us begin."
4. "The ceremony will have to wait."

You can confirm his purpose, as well as the current state of preparations with the first two options, and then choose the third option to progress the Quest. You'll get 70 Experience for doing so. After you end the dialogue, a cutscene will automatically ensure that begins with an announcement made on your celebration, as well as how you chose to start your reign, like distributing rations and a personal fuel cell for the citizens. It will then proceed to show you along with your chosen Companions in the proceedings of the Magnae Accessio. After some introduction, stating some of your deeds and achievements, you'll have the following options to address your people:

1. [Dogmatic] "Praise the Emperor, faithful souls! The darkness around us may be fierce, but the blaze in our hearts is fiercer still! Evil will burn!"
2. [Iconoclast] "Fear not the coming day. Henceforth, you are all my charges."
3. [Heretical] "Remember that you have no other ruler but me. For any who dare to forget this, the howls of daemons from the warp will sound like the babbling of babes, and xenos blades will seem like a soft feather bed compared to the horror of the punishment I'll inflict!"
4. "Serve faithfully, and I will lead you to prosperity. The Kronus Expanse will enrich us all!"

The Iconoclast option grants you a +3. You'll then be asked to make an oath as the heir to your Rogue Trader empire and will have just one dialogue option to click on. After the proceedings, you'll find yourself inside the palace where you can talk to your charges and various other important people. If you head to the passageway near one of the sets of tables, you'll find Governor Urbend Drivestem addressing a group of people, including Xavier Calcazar himself. You can speak to the group to get various information as well as meet new important characters and get a feel for each of their personalities. Meeting the Inquisitor will also complete the Rumour Warden of the Expanse. You can also get various bonus points and experience depending on how you navigate your conversations. Following through to the end of Astartia's conversation can start a new Contract for Void Beacons. When you say that you're ready to receive their congratulations, they'll start giving you gifts. These will include the Severed Hand weapon, and the Coordinate Oracle helmet.

When you've had your fill of these nobles, you may head to the large room in the palace where you'll be able to find other important characters, including your Companions. You may speak to the groups of people in a similar fashion to possibly get several bonus points and experience. One of these groups consists of your guest Rogue Traders, Calligos Winterscale and Incendia Chorda. Calligos will offer you a gift for aiding him previously. Make sure to thank him through the dialogue options to actually get the Eye of Hecaton weapon. As you continue the conversation, you'll get some information about Incendia's predecessor Aspyce Chorda, who seems to have a really bad reputation.

When you're ready to complete the Quest, head to the Master of Ceremonies in the middle of this room and tell him that you're tired. He will accompany you to your chambers, which will mark the end of the celebration. Unfortunately, things are never simple and easy and your Master of Ceremonies will be knocked out by Heinrix along the way, as the Inquisitor Xavier Calcazar wants to talk to you in private. You'll have the following options to react to the incident:

1. "Remind me, who are you?"
2. "Will my servant live?"
3. "Heinrix, I thought we were friends. But friends don't break into each other's chambers in the middle of the night with weapons, do they?"
4. "If the inquisition wishes to have a talk with me - I am glad to be at its service."
5. "You think you can just barge into my chambers? Are you quite mad, Inquisitor?"
6. [Aim your weapon at the intruder] "If something looks like an assassination and smells like an assassination... perhaps I ought to start treating it like one?"

If you ask about your Master of Ceremonies, they'll reveal that he will live and was just not allowed to hear about your impending conversation. If you continue with the fifth option, he'll outline your recent achievements and status, giving you the following options to respond with in return:

1. "This feels an awful lot like an interrogation."
2. "What do you wish to know about the events on Janus?"
3. "What questions could you have for me about Kiava Gamma?"
4. "The Drukhari have shown an interest in me? Are you referring to my ruined capital?"

Each of the topics for options 2-4 will have subsequent discussions you'll have to navigate. You'll get an inkling as to how the Inquisition works and the negative position you have as someone who has inevitably inherited all of your predecessor's mistakes and all that she had allowed to fester in her colonies. The fourth option will reveal that you are being accused of something even bigger. These accusations will lead to slight blackmailing, which is a surprising turn of events, considering how straight-laced Xavier seems. You'll have the following options to respond with:

1. "Theodora cooperated with you?"
2. "Why such an interest in my person?"
3. "Blackmail? To what end? I am a Rogue Trader, and this is a flagrant violation of my privileges."
4. "Is Heinrix staying in my retinue? Or are you taking him back?"
5. "What kind of a deal are we talking about?"

If you choose the first option, he'll straightforwardly tell you that she did indeed and that even Idira Tlass's existence is something that he merely allows. The second option reveals that the other Rogue Traders have become preoccupied with other things so you and the Inquisition stand to be the only protectors of the expanse. If you choose the fourth option, you'll ultimately have the choice to either let Heinrix go or have him continue as your party member. When you finally choose the fifth option, you'll be gifted with the White Signet of the Inquisition. When you accept the gift, and therefore the deal, The Emperor and My Right will finally be complete.

ROGUE TRADER Underworld Walkthrough

PLAYING ALONG AS FIDELIO

Past Hieronymus Doloroso area, to the southwest of Footfall's atrium, there is a large gathering, as you head there, a scene will automatically start. A NPC called First Mate Daggen will greet you as Master Fidelio. You can play along or identify yourself as a Rogue Trader.

Play along to enter the celebration. The chaplain will give a speech, and you will regain control of your party.

Interact with the coffin. Abelard will point out that Bellardo, the deceased, was a famous pirate in the region. This will update the quest. Sister Argenta will remember Master Bellardo, as being mentioned by Hieronymus Doloroso as one of the biggest donors to the temple.

Inspect the book of Remembrance on the other side, to update the quest once again.

Head to the backside to detect a trap, disarm it and enter through the back door. 

As you attempt to enter, the clerk will meet you there and ask for your help. He replaces the implants of the deceased with identical replicas and sells the originals to make some profit. The problem lies in that Bellardo's implants are in the crematorium's furnace.  Agree to help him to update the quest. You will also receive the Hidden in the Furnace quest.

If you tell the clerk that you are indeed Master Fidelio and want a copy of every document that has your name on it, he will comply, and the quest will update.

There are a few other NPCs the Rogue Trader can talk to learn more about the situation and also update the quest. The Chaplain will update the quest regarding the inheritance. Near him, you can find Adelia, Master Bellardo's granddaughter, crying behind a big box. She will tell you his father, and Bellardo's son, Kas Bellardo is also in the ceremony. Keep talking to her to update the quest when she mentions the "dead eyes" always watching him. She also says that she didn't write in the book.

Kas Bellardo can be found at the other way of the ceremony, he isn't as affected as his daughter, and he will tell you a little more about the repentance situation.

Head to the crematorium. Loot the area first and then pass the Athletics check to enter the furnace. Loot the box on the side, and as you do, the door will close with the whole team inside, and the furnace will start burning you alive.

Between the belt and the furnace, you will notice a breakable area. Shoot it to create a path and get there as soon as possible.

The party will fall down to the sewers, where a few vagabonds will help you up. In the sewers, there is nothing remarkable to be found. Explore the area until you find the stairs that lead to a warehouse.

Head to the warehouse and fight the clerks and servitors. As in the sewers, there is nothing incredibly remarkable to be found here. Leave the area and return to the ceremony.

As you enter the ceremony area, all guests will point weapons at you. First Mate Daggen, and Kas Bellardo, decide to unite forces to fight against you because the deceased has decided to leave his fortune to Fidelio. This leads to another fight.

Once the fight is over, you can decide to treat their wounds, kill one Daggen or Kas, or kill both of them. You gain +3 Profit Factor after winning the fight.

By killing both of them, you receive +1 Profit Factor and are considered Fidelio, since no one has identified as them, thus receiving the inheritance.

 

IDENTIFYING AS THE ROGUE TRADER

If you identify as Von Valancius as you start the quest, things can go differently. Both Kas and First Mate Daggen will ask for your assistance regarding the inheritance.

• Find leads to track down the rebel leaders 

The governor has suggested starting the search of the rebels' base by questioning the servants and other witnesses to the assassination attempt. It may be possible to extract key information from the conspirators themselves(regardless of their vital status)

Leave the palace and there will be four quest markers on your map you can approach, marking the people that will progress the quest. You will need to interact with 5 characters. One of them will not be marked on the map. Look for the following: 

• Atilius Quint: When interacting with Atilus, you'll have the option to take a [Dogmatic] approach where you claim that you have uncovered the servant who betrayed the governor. Other options will allow you to ask to find out more information about his background and Janus.

You have the option to allow him to kill the rebel he has in the building or get inside anyway. If you manage to get in with the rebel still alive you can also interact with the Wounded Rebel.

With the Security officer, you have the option to let him go, take him into custody under your protection,  or execute him before you end the dialogue with the following: 
• Old Servant: The old servant will not be marked on your map, but you will need to speak to him to find out more information and continue. When interacting with the servant, he will immediately react as you approach and you will have the option to execute him or continue to press about his thoughts on the governor using either a Dogmatic, Iconoclast, or Heretical approach.

Speak to these characters and you will be able to ask a few questions and sometimes have a few hostile options. Go through the conversation and complete the dialogue. When you've successfully completed your interactions, the quest will be updated. You will have successfully Gathered more information about the rebels and found leads to the rebel leaders.

• Conduct the Search Operation from the Voidship by Scanning the Planet

A vox with recordings of the rebels' conversations will make it possible to launch a large-scale reconnaissance operation. The Rogue Trader must return to the ship to engage its systems in the search. 

Return to the voidship. Yrliet will strike a dialogue interaction. Complete the dialogue and the next scene will continue and will take you into the Forests of Janus. 

• Track down the rebel leaders

The information obtained during the operation has made it possible to pinpoint the location of the rebel leads on Janus. The rapid deployment of a small team and armed reconnaissance on the ground will solve the rebel problem on Janus for good. 

Head out to the Forests of Janus (Janusian Jungle). Head north to map out the area. There will be a path that branches out west. You will need Athletics to drop down. This will lead to the rebel camp. You can choose to avoid the battle or clear them and take the loot nearby, but we will return to this location. The location of this rebel camp is on the map below. 

You can clear this rebel camp now or later, since we will be coming back to this location. If you wish to avoid the fight, head back up and continue north. There will be other rebel camp battles and wildlife encounters scattered through the jungle. From here, you can continue to head north. If you head back on the original path, you will eventually come across a river and a plank bridge.

Just across the bridge is a rebel camp. A battle will begin when you approach. Clear them out to continue on the path. Loot the area before you move on and keep heading north. Past the waterfall north of the camp there will be a cliff that can be climbed by the group with Athletics and another crossing just opposite the cliff. There will be a plank bridge that will help you cross the river to reach this cliff.

Just above the waterfall, there will be a mutilated body you can observe. There won't be much else to see so you can head back down and head take the path across the cliff. Mind your step since just across the crossing, there will be a trap ahead that needs to be disarmed. Get past the trap and continue. 

On the map you will find your location here: 

It will take you to an open area and an examinable vox-tower. If you enter this clearing, get ready for battle. against a few Janusian Lacerax one of them is the Alpha. Try to keep a distance for the start of the fight so you can start with your ranged attacks. Watch your back for this encounter. Focus your attacks on two of them at a time so you can focus your energy on the remaining two once they're cleared. 

Clear the fight and you can continue. There will be a Goods bax on the other side of some rocks. You will need to pass a check to reach it and open it. With the area now safe, you can also loot the rest of the arrow. Now that you've gathered all the loot in this area, you can head back down the same path and this time, return to the location where the path branches off west where the initial rebel camp is. If you previously cleared this area, this should be clear for you to pass.

Following the rebel interaction, Yrliet will engage in some dialogue, but you will need to keep moving. Get through the interaction to continue. Loot the area. The loot boxes will be marked on your map. Be careful of any traps as you continue. Take the southwest path before heading back north and continuing to map out the area.

 You'll be crossing the water and going through an area with red shrubs. Soon after you will encounter more Janusian Lacerax. Encounters with them usually occur in small numbers. Continue north and you will eventually find the wooden bridge and stonehead rock.There will be a trap you will need to disarm just before the bridge.

This will lead you to the location of the rebel leaders, so get ready for battle. Continue across the bridge and a short scene will play followed by dialogue interaction with Muaran. Continue through the dialogue until it ends.

You will also have the option to say nothing when prompted or immediately [Attack.] As the dialogue continues there will be additional responses where you can choose a Heretical, Dogmatic, Iconoclast approach if you have the required characters in your party. you can also attempt to use Persuasion to convince them to stand down 

1. [Nod at the rebels] What have you done to these people? They believe you are their commanders?
2. [Iconoclast] [Address Yrliet] I can't convince your kinsman, but I know you are on my side... Will you help me save the Lilaethan from the true enemy?
3. [Heretical]
4. [Persuasion -40] I cannot give Janus to the Aeldari -- humans will only be ruled by humans. But I promise that no harm will come to you. 

The end of this interaction will complete your current objective and you will have successfully tracked down the Rebel Leaders. A fight could still follow the interaction. Get through the fight so you can continue to fulfill your next objective. Depending on the success of your interaction, you can convince the rebel camp to turn against the leaders and fight with you. Otherwise, you will need to clear the Rebel leaders along with the rebel camp. For the best outcome, choose to Nod at the rebels to acknowledge them then succeed in a Coercion check to fight alongside them against the leaders. Fighting both the rebel camp and leaders is still doable, but makes the fight a lot longer, and will take a toll on your characters. 

When facing the Aeldari, note that they will be significantly stronger than those encountered in previous fights. Having the rebels by your side will spread out some of their attacks. Muaran has the ability to evade attacks and is immune to falling prone because of his Combat Master passive so be strategic when targeting him. His other Active Abilities include Prophesy of Doom, Eldritch Storm, and Mind War.

• Prophesy of Doom: Doomed creatures suffer a 50% penalty to dodge and parry and a -4 penalty to deflection. Also, enemies gain +50% hit chance against doomed creatures.
• Eldritch Storm: The Farseer calls down a vast psychic, storm, dealing 10 energy damage in a 40cell radius area. After 2 turns the storm returns to warp, dealing 35 energy damage
• Mind War: The Farseer inflicts slowed on an enemy makes them unable to use psychic powers. The target must pass an Awareness test with a -30 penalty to avoid the effects. 

Once the fight is finally completed, another dialogue will begin. Here, you will have the option to use a Dogmatic approach to kill her with the response 'Might as well send you off along with the rest.' End the Dialogue and you will receive an update for the quest 'Aeldari in Distress,' Before you leave, loot the area. 

• Return to the Governor. 

Explore the rest of the Janus Forest as you like. When you're ready to continue the questline, exit the area and return to the voidship so you can return to Governor Vyatt's Estate on Janus. Enter the mansion through the main doors and go back to the governor's room through the doors on the left once you reach the set of three doors. Update Vistenza Vyatt on your findings. Choose your responses. You can choose to accuse the governor of where her loyalties which will eventually also give you the option to attack or keep her secrets. 

1. I've already heard enough, Vistenza. But if you wish me to repeat myself -- we know that your loyalty lies with the Ruinous Powers.
2. [Heretical] Everyone has their secrets, I suppose. Everything between us can remain as it was
3. [Attack] I'm sick of your games and secrecy. Die! 

Choosing the first option will expand the dialogue and present an additional set of choices. The responses that follow will give you additional similar Heretical and Dogmatic responses You will also have a new Iconoclast response. 

• [Iconoclast] I will not allow a miscreant like you to continue wreaking evil!

Choosing this option will give you Iconoclast +3, and the dialogue will soon end. This will also lead you to your final objective: Kill the governor. 

• Kill the governor

The governor will soon be shielded away and will escape into a backroom. You will need Tech-Use to remove the obstacle ahead. There will be a wall candle on a pillar you can interact with to remove the wall and get through.

Head in and watch for traps on the floor. Save your game here. Maneuver around them or disarm them then loot the goods chest at the corner before turning the corner and heading through the next set of doors. Unlock the doors here and the next scene will begin.

A Battle will follow. Spread out your party, since the enemies in this battle will have a few AoE attacks that will be able to damage your party if clumped together. Watch out for the Maid of Honour who has the Summon Daemonette active ability. Clear those closest to you while also prioritizing clearing the Maid of Honour to minimize the opponents in the arena. Also, look to clear Vyatt since she will be able to restore the health of the summoned Daemonettes. Use the statues in the area for cover when needed. If you don't clear the Maid of Honour and Vyatt, Daemonettes will continue to litter the arena, but they will clear out once you get rid of her. 

Following the battle, a dialogue will begin. See it through and you will be able to continue to invite Yrliet with you. If you choose this response, she will accept your offer and the dialogue will end. 

• Return to the ship

The Vox Master is awaiting orders regarding the fate of this world.

Return to the voidship at the bridge. Once you reach the ship decide the fate of Janus. 

1. [Iconoclast] Send provision to Footfall
2. [Dogmatic] Leave footfall to the depredations of Incendia Chorda
3. [Heretical]
