Pillars of Eternity: Defiance Bay - Map of Heritage Hill

Heritage Hill is one of the districts of Defiance Bay. Due to the research on animancy conducted in a nearby tower, the area has been infested by the living dead. There are not too many places to see here and the only ones worth mentioning are Icantha's House, Valtas Manor and the tower in the south-west part of the location. The latter is connected with the game's main storyline.

Important locations in Heritage Hill

1. Main gate

Your starting point. The gate is locked and it is guarded. You can enter if your Power is at level 18 and if you either intimidate the guard, or mention Wyla during the Missing Sentries quest. You receive the quest in the Crucible Keep (M22,1). The most extreme way of entering this district is to attack the guards and then loot their corpses for a key to the gate. It's not a recommended solution, because you'll lose a lot of reputation.

2. Valtas Mausoleum

A shrine in the center of the location. It opens only after you have received the Safe Haven quest (M24,4).

3. Tomb

Inside the shrine, there is the missing team of sentries whom you're looking for for Wyla in the Missing Sentries quest. You receive this quest from Wyla in Crucible Keep (M22,1). The sentries are under the control of Leyra and defeating this spirit is quite difficult.

4. Valtas Manor

The manor of this family is infested by the undead. Inside, you will find 3 Guls and the transformed family - Lord Valtas, Lady Valtas and Emilio Valtas. Only the little girl - Saeda - hid in a separate room and survived.

Side quest: Safe Haven - Kill the transformed family.

5. Icantha's House

Main quest: Undying Heritage - Inside, you will find Icantha, the woman who survived the catastrophe. Talk to her.

Inside, there is a chest that you can open with Mechanics at level 4, or at level 3 with 4 lockpicks. There is also a door there, which has the same requirements as the chest. As soon as you open it, you will discover three captives that Icantha preys on to remain sane. You can release them. Icantha does not react to this.

6. Tower

Main quest: Undying Heritage - reach the top of the tower.
