Description | ||
Bellara returns to the Veil Jumpers to test ancient elven artifacts and ensure they behave safely. This quiet momet ofers a chance to get to know her better. |
At this point, it will be your first time returning to Arlathan Forest since Bellara joined the party. Travel through The Crossroads to unlock the Eluvian that will allow you to fast-travel to Arlathan Forest and head to the quest marker.

Bellara: Rook and I, we'll handle the rest. | |
Choice | Consequence |
You picked me! (Heart) | Increases romantic bond with Bellara |
What do I do? | TBD |
Is this necessary? | TBD |
Start the quest when prompted once you've reached the quest area. The opening dialogue offers you 2 choices to try and raise Bellara's approval, which you should aim for if you want to romance her.
There's a second dialogue option nearing the end of this introductory sequence, and while it doesn't necessarily increase Bellara's approval, asking what happened better leads into the choices during the final dialogue of this quest.
Once inside the artifact vault, Bellara will request you to look for 2 power crystals. Head to the back part of the room and look at the right and left sides, respectively, as noted in the image above.
Securing the 1st artifact opens up the area, giving you access to the next one. This time, you'll need to find 3 power crystals. There are 2 crystals that are on the ground, while there's 1 above.
You can either go for the 2 crystals that are on the ground, or climb the nearby ladder first to acquire this one.
Decision | |

Bellara: You have better things to do. I know. | |
Choice | Consequence |
For you? Anytime. (Heart) | Increases romantic bond with Bellara |
I do, but... | TBD |
This is a vacation. | TBD |
This is important too. | TBD |
After securing the 2nd artifact, you'll have a brief dialogue with Bellara, which will involve another opportunity to build a romance with her. None of the other choices will really derail you from the quest, but they might disuade her from telling you more about her backstory.
Bellara will ask your help to stabilize the 3rd and final artifact. When you reach the area shown above, you'll need to first acquire the power crystal that's above to be able to reach the one on the other side.
Interact with the wooden beam to bring it down, then cross. Climb up the ladder and grab the crystal. There will be a locked door to your left, which you can unlock with a heavy attack. Behind it is room with a large chest and a memento for upgrading the Caretaker.
Use the first power crystal you obtained to activate a hidden stone bridge and reach the second one. Place the newly acquired crystal first, then simply return and place the other one.
After securing the 3rd artifact, you'll have another quick conversation with Bellara. She'll remark that it can be tiring always having to be the one to take care of their artifacts. All the choices are essentially echoes of each other, so you can pick any.
The end sequence of this quest will have Bellara open up about her past and, in particular, her brother. She'll give you a slightly cryptic description as to what happened to him, so just go with either choice 1 or choice 2.
Decision | |
---|---|
Bellara: They thought it would make it all okay. | |
Choice | Consequence |
Never does. | Improves bond with Bellara |
[Say nothing.] | TBD |
I'm sorry. (Tear) | Improves bond with Bellara |
Choose how to best respond to Bellara, based on the particular way you're playing your character. If you're after increasing her bond level, the choose either option 1 or 3.
Players will receive the Winding Ways sub-quest upon receiving the companion quest. The sub-quest is completed when players unlock the path to the Arlathan Eluvian hub in the Crossroads.
