A Slow Poison Objectives

Accept the Crow's Contract

Accept the Crows
Head over Treviso and go to the hideout of the Antivan Crows. Talk to Teia and Viago, and they will ask you to help in their fight against the Antaam army. They will send you to look for one of their scouts, Dareth, in the Drowned District.

Help the Crow Scout

Help the Crow Scout
Head to the Drowned District and head to a warehouse by the water. Inside are Antaam enemies, including Taarathaa the Slaver. Defeat them and free Jacobus from the cage.

He will tell you that the Antaam killed Dareth, his cousin, as he was heading out to get a contract from a dead drop. Jacobus then asks you to find the dead drop and complete Dareth's contract for him.

Complete Dareth's Contract

Find Dareth
Head over to the dead drop to find Dareth's contract, making sure to follow the purple crow graffiti on the walls. The dead drop is located in a rooftop room with a broken window, with the contract on a table in the corner.

The contract asks you to take down the qamekmaster, who is manufacturing a poison that the Butcher will use on the people of Treviso.

Get to the Garrison

Get to the Garrison
Make your way to the garrison using the rooftops and ziplines. You will encounter numerous Antaam enemies on your way to the garrison, so take them down as you go.

You will know you've arrived at the garisson once you hear the Butcher Daathrata shouting commands to Antaam soldiers.

Find the Qamekmaster

Find the Qamekmaster

Enter the garrison's attic and make your way down. You will encounter more Antaam enemies, so defeat them as you go. Go through the door at the end to reach a room with a fast travel point and two sofas.

Upon arriving to the room, the Qamekmaster will notice your arrival, and will taunt you to fight him. Jump down into the large room below to face the Qamekmaster

Defeat the Qamekmaster

Defeat the Qamekmaster
The Qamekmaster fight is a simple one, as he does not have any special shields that must be broken. His basic attacks are swipe attacks with his arms, which you can easily parry. Successfully parrying the attacks will stun him for a bit, opening im up to attacks.

His next attack is a jumping swipe. This attack cannot be blocked or parried, and as such you must dodge out of the way. The final attack is a circular ground AoE, which will deal damage to you if you are standing in it. Additionally, the attack will leave a puddle of poison on the floor, which you must avoid.

Parry and avoid his attacks when needed, and attack him relentlessly while he is stunned. Try to use Detonate Skill combos to take him down faster.

Destroy the Pots and Search the Room

Destroy the Pots and Search the Room
After defeating the Qamekmaster, you will find three green pots with glowing orange symbols on them. Break these pots, then head over to the table to pick up the Journal Page in a Shaky Hand.

This journal reveals that there was indeed a human who betrayed the city to aid the Butcher's invasion. It also reveals that some of the qamek was stolen.

Before leaving this area, make sure to open the door at the side of the room. Inside is a chest that contains gold, Fade-Touched Crystals, and a weapon.

Consult with the Crows

Consult with the Crows
Head back to the hideout and you will find Teia and Viago having an argument with Governor Ivenci. He is mad at the Crows for trying to pick a fight the Butcher.
