Walkthrough Edit

Part I Edit

Entering Jarvia's Hideout

• If the Warden is a Dwarven Commoner, Leske will be near the camp-fire in Dust Town and can direct the Warden to the Dust Town Home. Otherwise, the Warden will need information from Nadezda (Alimar can offer a tip but it is useless). After getting a tip from Nadezda (the journal will update), enter the Dust Town Home for the same encounter as if a Dwarven Commoner. Prior to getting a tip from Nadezda, the home will be empty.
• Locate and enter the Dust Town Home (slum's house).
  • You will be attacked by Jarvia's thugs. Focus your party's attention on the leader and the fight will end quickly.
  • He will plead for his life. In exchange for not killing him, he will offer you the key you require to enter the Carta Hideout. There is no benefit for letting them go and you gain combat xp if you decide to kill the thugs.
  • You may decide to spare or kill him, after which you may leave, then head east toward the Suspicious Door.
• Once at the Suspicious Door, the Warden may then interact with it, initiating a dialogue scene. Insert the Finger Bone Token into the hole and the door will open.
• Once inside the Carta Hideout, you will be greeted by a doorman who will initiate a small dialogue scene, only to attack you shortly after. Kill him and begin moving through the Carta.

This ends the quest Entering Jarvia's Hideout.

Part II Edit

For a map and overview of the area, see Carta Hideout.

A Prince's Favor: The Second Task or A Lord's Trust: The Second Task

Now you are inside there is the matter of the second task.

• There are many rooms and doors with several thugs within and most will have Chests and Barrels with loot in them.
• As well as much loot, you may also begin the Jammer's Stash Side-Quest. In addition to this quest, there is a Jail room where you will find the character Leske, who you may free by killing the Jailor and taking his key. (Leske is only imprisoned here if you are not a Dwarf Commoner, and, the would be Dwarven Commoner Warden's corpse is seen in the other cell)
• After making it to the heart of the Carta Hideout, you will find Jarvia who initiates another short dialogue scene (if you are a Dwarf Commoner, Leske will be there as her lieutenant). When the battle initiates, several Carta Assassins will appear to aid her.
  • If you are intending to double-cross Bhelen and have obtained the Shifting Allegiances quest from Dulin, then the Incriminating Evidence needed to complete this quest can be found in a chest towards the back of the room where Jarvia is confronted.
  • If you are intending to double-cross Harrowmont and have obtained the Betrayed from Within, then be sure to plant the Forged Documents in the chest with the quest marker before leaving.
• After exiting the hideout, you will emerge in Janar Armorers. Janar himself will not be happy about the hole you made in his wall.
• Take the news of Jarvia's death to either Bhelen Aeducan or Lord Pyral Harrowmont - depending on who requested the task - to complete the quest.

Result Edit

• After successfully killing Jarvia and reporting to either Bhelen Aeducan or Lord Pyral Harrowmont, A Paragon of Her Kind will be available, as either A Prince's Favor: The Third Task or A Lord's Trust: The Third Task.
• Remember to return the incriminating documents to Lord Harrowmont to complete Shifting Allegiances if relevant.
• 1750 experience points.

Bugs Edit

• If Betrayed from Within was obtained and the Warden planted incriminating evidence, Lord Pyral Harrowmont will give the quest A Prince's Favor: The Third Task but A Lord's Trust: The Second Task will not register as completed. Workaround requires talking to Lord Pyral Harrowmont prior to planting the incriminating evidence. After the conversation and planting the evidence, Vartag is the next person to talk to, who will now be in Royal Palace.
• If the Warden doesn't listen to the Thugs Leader and just decides to kill him, he sometimes does not drop the finger bone, leading to game-ending glitch with no way into the Hideout. The only solution is to load an earlier save.
• Alimar can be persuaded to give up the information on Jarvia if the Warden offers him silver. He asks for 35, but what is actually given is 35, or 20 if intimidated.
• xbox360 If both Bhelen and Harrowmont were at least once double-crossed, either after the first or the second task, The Warden will be presented with both options at the chest: to plant the evidence for Bhelen, and to get proof that Bhelen ordered attack on his brother. The Warden can only hear about either planting or getting the evidence, never both, however, this happens despite the fact the Warden was never given the appropriate quest.
