How can I finish Eders quest in act III?

[No idea]

I wanted to ask that guy at Dunryd Row but then the riots started and suddendly everybody at Dunryd Row was dead so where can I find a cipher to keep on with eders quest? Can I use the grieving mother?

 

Thank you

Edér's story doesn't require Dunryd row, or indeed any Cipher. The basic line is:

 

go to Maerwald > go to the records office in Defiance Bay > build a sufficiently good reputation in Defiance Bay to get the records office to tell you where his brother died > go to the battle field site and find the doo-dad > use your watcher powers to gain insight into what happened to his brother > done

 

As far as I can tell, you should be able to do this even after finishing Act II. In fact the only obvious obstacles would be going past the point of no return at the end of the game and somehow never getting a good enough reputation in Defiance Bay (which I think would involve murdering random people or similar).

Yes, IIRC grieving mother can also read into the artifact, as can your PC if you're cipher.

Though some key answers are never provided -- you eventually know where the brother went but never fully resolve why (or whether Eder made the right choice in not doing the same).

Thank you all. Grieving Mother did the work. A pity we dont know why Eders brother joined the readceras. I bet we will know why in PoE 2

I have a fairly good idea why he did, but I don't want to risk spoiling anything you haven't seen yet.
