Walkthrough

Nessa has disappeared. Tarkleigh last saw her running to the Mud Flats. You must now search the surrounding areas for her.

Tarkleigh: Nessa… I saw her one night, running out across the Coast, headed in the direction of the Mudflats. Called out to her… but she didn’t even turn her head. Maybe she couldn’t hear me, maybe she didn’t want to, I don’t bloody know. I tried to run after her but she’d vanished into the darkness before my feet had barely touched the sand.

So I tracked her, all the way to the Mud Flats, and that’s when her tracks… they just stopped. No sign of meeting someone or something, no sign of a struggle. It’s like one moment she was running and the next… gone.

Look, I’ve heard some things, about what you’ve done. Things that beggar belief. Now, you can do this. Please, find Nessa. Bring her back to us.

When you find Nessa in the Mud Flats she has been transformed into a mermaid by the Brine King. You must now travel to the Brine King's Reef.

Tarkleigh: You’ve seen Nessa? Talked to her? That’s more than I had dared hope for, truth be told.

This… change… she’s going through, this curse the so-called ‘Brine king’ has put on her… it can be broken. I know it!

You’ve got to keep going, follow her tail before it gets any colder. Make your way along the Coast, the Ship Graveyard, even Merveil’s Cave if you must.

By my reckoning, this King’s not the sort to venture far from his briny bed.

Moving through Prisoner's Gate you will encounter Nessa sitting by the waterfall. She will direct you to Merveil's Cavern.

Nessa: What are you doing?! God drag you to damnation if you’re going to stand by and let this happen to me! To us! Because believe me, the Brine King has far greater appetites than one nothing of a girl from Oriath. It doesn’t matter what he’ll do to me now… it’s what he’ll do to Wraeclast. Yet there’s hope. There’s always hope… if only you can reach Merveil’s cave. If only…

From the Western Forest, enter the Riverways, enter The Southern Forest (Act 6), and then search for The Cavern of Anger (Act 6). Inside the Cavern of Anger you will find The Black Flag. Search for the entrance to The Beacon. Use the The Black FlagThe Black Flag"May the lubbers feel fear in their
nethers, and may our blades follow."
- Rot-tooth's Rallying Cry at the Beacon to summon Weylam Roth's ship, the Black Crest, which will take you to the reef.

After arriving at the Brine King's Reef, search for Nessa.
