Talk to the Iron Menial

Talk to the Iron Menial

Return to the Roundtable Hold and speak with the Iron Menial to receive a message from the Small Jar Merchant. If he doesn't appear here, you can try doing the next step at the Small Jar Bazaar.

Head to the Small Jar Bazaar

Head to the Small Jar Bazaar

Proceed to the Small Jar Bazaar and talk to the Small Jar Merchant. You then need to interact with the door near him. This will trigger a boss fight with the Dreglord, with the Undertaker and Scholar already fighting it.

You do not need to defeat him to unlock the Scholar. Getting defeated will trigger a cutscene.

Talk to the Scholar

After the cutscene plays, the Scholar and the Undertaker will be inside the now open room. Talk to both the Scholar and Undertaker to unlock them.
