How to Track the Devil of the Reed Field in Seed of Unease

Use the Lantern to Show His Path

Use your lantern to reveal a faint yellow trail left by the Reed Devil. Follow it southwest toward the Steel Mountains and the Mountain of Frozen Souls while fending off his ambushes.

At the end of the trail is the reed field, where you can inspect a doll on an altar in the middle of the field and finally face the Reed Devil boss.

How to Beat Reed Devil

Seed of Unease Walkthrough

Track the Devil of the Reed Field

1	Use the Lantern to Show Tracks
1	From the house in the previous quest, Nonhuman, you must now track the Reed Devil with the Lantern instead of an objective marker. Head outside and shine the lantern to see the yellow line that leads you west of the house, and continue following it.
2
2	Follow the tracks to reach the Steel Mountains area. You will be ambushed by the Reed Devil and his minions, and you must deal enough damage to the boss for him to disappear. Once he disappears, use your lantern to follow the path again to his next location. You will be tracking and fighting him multiple times, so make sure you have enough food and heals. It's best to fight the enemies you will encounter here as they give tons of Abyss Artifact XP, but you can skip them if you want, as they can be daunting.

3	Continue tracking the Reed Devil with the lantern, and you will fight him again shortly after, in the Mountain of Frozen Souls area. He will also have larger and more elite enemies with him this time.
4
4	After he retreats from the second ambush, continue climbing up the mountain trail going south. There will be more minions you can defeat or run past along the linear path, and one more Reed Devil ambush. Once you make it to the large open reed field, the final showdown with the boss will be next.

Examine the Altar and Doll

1	Head to the Altar by the Tree
1	Follow the faint trail towards the tree in the field with an altar.
2	Examine the Altar and Doll
2	Examine the doll in the center of the altar, finishing the quest and leading to the real boss fight against the Reed Devil. ▶ How to Beat Reed Devil
