Pillars of Eternity: Blood Sands
Last update:
Blood Sands is a small underground location that you can access only from the direction of Elms' Reach. At first, you encounter no enemies here, but this will change. Therefore, get prepared properly for that. You can explore all of the chambers without any problems and meet all of the important NPCs. After all, it is a good idea to take a good look around, because there is a secret chamber in this location.
Important places in Blood Sands
1. The first chamber
Talk to Keeper Garost about Ethik Nol and the preformed rituals.
2. The Western chamber
In here, you can meet with Keeper Wrdha, for the Sacrificial Bloodlines side quest (only if you have decided to sacrifice the child).
3. The secret chamber
Find the hidden switch in the nearby corridor. In the chamber, there are two chests with valuable items, but they are protected with highly advanced traps.
5. Blood Sacrifice Chamber
Talk to Archdruid Rechstin and after you have dealt with all your business in Blood Sands, attack him. Killing him is a part of the quest from Berath - A Servant of Death .
Important NPCs in Blood Sands
Keeper Garost (M38,1)
Keeper Wrdha (M38,2) - A conversation with her is an optional part of the Sacrificial Bloodlines side quest.
Archdruid Rechstin (M38,5) - You need to murder him, by Berath's request -A Servant of Death quest.
Other important information, in connection with Blood Sands
Do not attack Archdruid Rechstin too early (murdering him is required for the Servant of death quest). As a result of that, all of the NPCs in the Blood Sands will turn hostile towards you. This may make it impossible to complete one of the variants of the Sacrificial Bloodlines side quest, which assumes that you meet up with Keeper Wrdha and give her the sacrifice child.
In Blood Sands, there are many urns and chests, where you find lots of gold, magic scrolls or rare potions, among others. It is best to start exploring this location after murdering the archdruid, thanks to which you will not risk being caught stealing.
