In this guide, we will explore this chapter by going over how you can complete it, and gather the information needed to unveil who is behind the disappearance of the floating castle facing Garenhoff.

After speaking with the stranger, make your way to Wizard’s Fief which is located southeast of Kessex Hills. To get there, take the 
Once you reach Garenhoff, start speaking with all the strangers that are highlighted on the map with a green star. When you have gathered enough information, it is time to look for the house where the sketchy individuals were last seen.
The house is located on the right side of Garenhoff. Go inside then head to the second floor and interact with the documents on the table just next to the stairs.
You now have a lead. Make your way to the highlighted waypoint in Gendarran Fields, and then go west to find the strangers. Speak with them, and they will take you toward a lighthouse. Then talk to Ivan using the upgraded comms device and go up the lighthouse to begin the next step in the story.
It is now nighttime, and you will come across the Kryptis for the first time, defeat them, and then head over to the camp to look for more information.
