The Soul bound weapon. It has some poems etched into it and I can't figure it out.

Crap hurts my party cause my main player Monk pulled it >.>

Any pointers?

I found the first part, I'm on the second verse at the moment.

Edit: Found the 2nd part. Looking for the last one.

Okay guys, since there is no information on this quest as of yet, I figured it out on my own.

INCOMING SPOILERS

1) Visit Cilant Lis and the Egg machine thingy there. It should be interactable.

2) Visit Esternwood, in top left corner there's a large graveyard, it's tagged. Rest there.

3) Visit Caed Nua and go to the middle. That's the "fingers".

 

Boom. You're welcome.

Man, thanks so much. I never would have even thought to look outside the White March area for the first verse.

My thanks as well - I also didn't think to look out of the White March zones and was pretty confused.

Honestly me neither, but I googled the "stone, adra and copper" and I found a let's play video, which shows the quest involving cilant lis was named as such. Figured out the second one by resting at every single graveyard(there's friggin lots!). Last one was fairly obvious.

Does the grey sleeper turn into something?

Not turn per se, but you cannot disequip it until you finish the quest, on whomever you equipped it on.

It gets some neat bonuses per visit, yes.

Could someone post a screenshot of The Grey Sleeper's description once fully unlocked? :)

Eh I was under the impression that souldbound weapons will have these funky sketch illustrations...

Thank you for help with the first verse! I would never have thought to look outside of White March.

 

The sword is damn awesome. I gave it to Pallegina and now she summons Undead helpers every fight (usually even at the beginning of the fight). From reading the description you'd think it woul be far less frequent than that, but apparently I was wrong.

Where do you get that?!

Also, some of the drawings on the soulbound weapons appear to be missing. My Stormcaller doens't have a picture, either.

You get it in the region to the east. There's a waterfall there in the north and the sword is stuck in the stone. Click tab to find it.

Danke.

I finished the quest, and I was really disappointed to find that you can't sever its bond like you can with other soulbond weapons. Just thought I should mention it. (I had my rogue Watcher pull the blade, but I was hoping to give it to Eder. Not possible I guess. :/ )

So it is protagonist-only? Or can you have anyone in the party pick it up to begin with?

What classes can bind this weapon ? (if it's a soulbound weapon like the others).

It doesn't have a class requirement that I know of.

Anyone in the party can pick it up (assuming they pass the checks in the scripted interaction, I think).

I picked the sword up with Zahua. But when I try to interact wit the machine in Cilant Lis nothing happens. Any suggestions?

Edited by 4mmok

Ok. I figured it out by myself. after I completed the DLC I was able to interact with the machine.

 

3) Visit Caed Nua and go to the middle. That's the "fingers".

 

Boom. You're welcome.

 

Interestingly, the big adra pillar in Magran's Fork also works. I'm guessing the first step may have multiple solutions as well.

The first two verses can both be completed in the Heritage Hill district. I assume that all Engwithan soul machines, graveyards and adra pillars work for this quest.

It is cursed, qwert_44643.

 

Complete the steps given to you in verse to upgrade it to gain abilities, become superb, and break the curse. Then you can unequip it at your leisure.

 

All the upgrade steps can be completed without fighting in areas you have already cleared in 10 minutes or so if you know what you are doing, so there's little reason not to go do that immediately after you pick it up.
