Influence in the Council of Renewal Walkthrough

In GreedFall 2: The Dying World, when you talk to the Captain of the Bridge Alliance’s Fort for the very first time, you’ll discover that the captain had prepared a gift for the High King that was to be delivered to him in the Council of Renewal. The hope was that this offering from the mainland would ease the relations between the foreigners and the locals.

However, in a surprise twist, the gift has been stolen, and he does not know who the culprit is or where the gift might be. The captain will ask for your help in retrieving the gift and bringing it back to your people, triggering the Influence in the Council of Renewal quest.

Talk to the Captain of the Fort in the Captain’s Quarters in the Bridge Alliance’s Fort. You will get access to this area naturally during the main missions, “A New Evil” and “A Dying Forest.”

Investigate the Theft of the Gift

Talk to the guard outside the Storeroom near the Captain’s quarters to ask about the night of the robbery. He will say that he has very little recollection of what took place that night, but if you pass the Diplomacy check, he will state that he was threatened and bribed by three large, burly men in masks to look the other way.

Go inside the Storeroom and activate Tracking to look for the following clues.

• A tool: Next to the chest in the middle of the room will be a metallic tool that was used in the robbery. Given its shape, it was used to force or twist something to get in.
• A chest: Behind the locked door was twisted open with the tool, will be the chest where the High King’s gift was being kept. The chest will show signs that it was broken into with something like a sledgehammer, only with an edge.

Inform the Captain about your findings, and he will tell you to meet with the Fort Intendant. The Fort Intendant can be found north of the Bridge Alliance’s Fort fast travel point. Show him the tool, and he will tell you that it is a bolt cutter that was borrowed by the woodsmen located north of the sawmill.

Retrieve the High King’s Gift

The High King’s Gift was stolen by the woodsmen who can be found in a large clearing north of the Fort (location shown above). They have hidden the High King’s Gift inside a locked chest in a hidden area inside the sawmill.

To find it, enter the Sawmill and use Tracking to locate the hidden switch in the bookcase. Upon activation, you’ll find the locked chest in a hidden room behind the bookcase. To open it, you’ll need the Key to the Sawmill’s Safe key item.

There are multiple ways you can go about this:

• Attack the Woodsmen: If you attack and kill the woodsmen after accusing them of theft, they will drop the Key to the Sawmill’s Safe upon death.
• Convince the Captain: If you can pass the Diplomacy check when talking to the captain of the fort about the woodsmen being the culprits behind the theft, he will actively help you attack and kill the woodsmen, and you’ll be able to obtain the Key to the Sawmill’s Safe as well.
• Exchange the Mysterious Statuette: In the northern part of the Autumn Forest is a dead body with an Mysterious Statuette. If you bring this item to the Chief Woodsman, he will agree to exchange the Key to the Sawmill’s Safe for it. This is also one of the two ways you can complete the Mysterious Statuette regional quest.
• Steal the High King’s Gift: If you can pass the Mechanics check and unlock the Sawmill’s chest without the key, you’ll be able to loot the High King’s Gift directly.

Bring the Captain’s Gift to Minan

After retrieving the gift from the Sawmill’s chest, go to the Captain to inform him about the truth behind the theft and that you have recovered the item in question. He will be relieved and will instruct you to give the gift to Minan, your village’s chief, to complete the handover.

Fast travel back to Vigeshvar and give the gift to Minan in his house to complete the Influence in the Council of Renewal quest, and you’ll receive +700 Experience, Bridge Alliance Reputation +1, and Theleme Reputation -1.
