Purchase an Item for Additional Dialogue

Buying any of the items Moore sells unlocks a "Talk to Moore" option where you can view additional dialogue.

2. Find and Speak to Thiollier

Thiollier Location

Speak to Thiollier at the Pillar Path Cross and return to Moore to receive the Black Syrup, an item that Moore requests be delivered to Thiollier.

You can give the Black Syrup to Thiollier and choose “Ask about the Black Syrup” to receive Thiollier's Concoction.

Thiollier's Concoction Can be Used on the Dragon Communion Priestess

While exploring, you may encounter a different NPC named the Dragon Communion Priestess. Thiollier's Concoction can be used on her during her questline to obtain a different ending and set of rewards.

3. Collect the Forager Brood Cookbooks

	Forager Brood Locations
1
	Located outside the walls of Castle Ensis. You can reach this area by traveling to the Highroad Cross site of grace and passing through the southeast area.
2
	Located east of Prospect Town. Travel south from the Cliffroad Terminus site of grace until you reach this spot.
3
	Located at a poison swamp north of Cerulean Coast. Fast travel to the Cerulean Coast site of grace and travel north, past the furnace golem.
4
	Located directly north of the Church of the Crusade. Head northwest from the Highroad Cross site of grace to reach it. You'll need to use a Warming Stone next to it on your first visit to make the forager brood responsive, then return to receive the cookbook.
5
	Located north of Moorth Ruins. From the Moorth Ruins site of grace, head north to find a triangular pond with a small cave that will lead you to the area below the Shadow Keep. This area is full of enemies, so make sure to clear any aggro before getting close to the forager brood.
6
	Located east of the Shadow Keep. Start from the Church District Highroad site of grace then head west to this area just below the Church District Entrance site of grace on the map.

There are a total of 6 forager broods that you can find in the Land of Shadow. Talking to each of them will give you a part of the Forager Brood Cookbook series.

The 7th cookbook is in Moore's possession, which will eventually be given to you if you talk to Moore after meeting some of the forager broods.

Kill Two Forager Broods for an Alternate Route

An alternate route for Moore's questline can be done by killing one of the forager broods (preferably after receiving their cookbook) and returning to Moore afterwards. Moore will express his anger towards your action, but won't retaliate just yet.

Now, head to one of the remaining forager broods and kill it to summon Moore on the spot as an invader. Defeat him there to obtain the Verdigris armor set and the Verdigris Greatshield. His Bell Bearing will be found on his Main Gate Cross spot afterwards.

4. Approach the Shadow Keep to Break Miquella's Charm

From the Highroad Cross Site of Grace continue following the road north until you reach the Shadow Keep. As you get closer to its gates, a message will appear on your screen saying:

This message references Miquella finally shedding his Great Rune (you'll find it in the possession of the Scadutree Avatar). When this triggers, NPC questlines will advance, so make sure to speak to everyone before exploring the Shadow Keep and the rest of Scadu Altus.

5. Speak to Moore After Breaking Miquella's Seal

Moore will now talk to you about the charm being broken and ask, “Must we be sad together?”: which you can answer with one out of three choices.

Do note that he will move away from this spot should you choose either of the first two choices, locking you out of the forager brood route for this playthrough. Be sure to get the 7th cookbook from Moore before doing so.

“Put It Behind You” Option Will Include Moore in the Enir-Ilim Fight

Telling Moore to “Put it Behind You” will not kill Moore and will result in a final encounter against him at Enir-Ilim, led by Leda, where you can get his items if you emerge victorious.

“Remain Sad Forever” Option will Kill Moore

Choosing the “Remain sad forever” option will result in Moore's immediate death. You can find and loot his body on top of a forager brood in Scadu Altus, directly north of the Church of the Crusade.

6. Defeat Moore at Enir-Ilim

Continue with the main DLC storyline until you meet Leda and her allies at Enir-Ilim. Moore will be one of the hostile NPCs in this fight, where he will drop his Verdigris gear and Bell Bearing after wiping out the opposing team.
