The Cobbled Swan Case Objectives
Investigate Thread Activity
Go to Dock Town
Head to the Side Alley Bridge in Dock Town, and enter the Thread hideout with Neve. Inside the hideout, Elek Tavor will tell you to rescue their boss, Damas.
Rescue Damas
Reach the Thread Market
Head towards the Thread Market marked on your map, where you will be ambushed by a group of Venatori cultists. Dispatch of them and head inside the shoreline cave.
Defeat the Venatori
More Venatori mages guard the path towards Damas. Defeat them and destroy the red magical device above to remove the barrier to move forward.
Upon crossing the barrier, more Venatori will attack. After dispatching of them, continue on to the door leading to where Damas is being held.
Defeat the Possessed Damas
Open the door to find a Venatori cultist, with Damas sitting on a chair. Approaching them will trigger a cutscene and boss fight.
Defeat the Possessed Damas, ridding him of his possession.
Speak to the normal Damas and he will offer you dirt on Bataris, potentially for blackmail.
Take or Refuse Damas' Deal
| Decision | |
|---|---|
| Makal Damas: Consider it my thanks. | |
| Choice | Consequence |
| Deal. Bataris Threatens lives. | Neve Approves |
| No. We'll find a better way. | Neve Disapproves |
If Treviso was saved, regardless of your choice, the deal will still be taken by Neve if you do not take it yourself.
If Minrathous was saved, you can decline the deal or choose to take it. Neve will agree with your choice.
Should You Accept or Refuse Makal Damas' Deal?
Back at the Lighthouse
At base, Neve will speak to you about her past with Aelia, and what the next steps are. There are extra romance options and Shadow Dragon Rook specific dialogue to select, and will vary depending on the choice made in A Warden's Best Friend.
