Follow Henrique

Inmate Location
Follow Henrique, and he'll take you to where the others are being kept. He needs help evacuating the inmates that are still locked in their cells, refusing to evacuate, and will give you the Overseers' Lodge Key .

The inmates are located in the northwestern part of the Excavation Site and northwest from where you fought the Golem. Make your way there and convince them to evacuate.

Retrieve the Diminished Godsway

Diminished Godsway Location

Head east from the inmates location and use the Overseers' Lodge Key to open the locked door in this area and retrieve the Diminished Godsway.

Return to Henrique

Return to Henrique

Make your way back to Henrique and give him the Diminished Godsway, and he'll evacuate the area, which completes the quest.

Defeat the Dragon Nearby

Excavation Site Map
Although not required, there's a red beacon nearby where you can defeat a lesser dragon.

We recommend resolving the red beacon while you're near the location to avoid going back here once you're required to resolve all the red beacons during A Scholarly Pursuit.
