How To Trigger Heart Of Valor Quest In Avowed
Upon entering Thirdborn, you can see Chiko standingwith an exclamation mark floating on top. After recognizing Kai, Chiko reveals that their uncle Keipo has seemed depressed these last few years, even though he’s considered a great hunter.
When you speak with him, he knows you’ve been sent by Chiko and expresses disinterest in your stories. However, Keipo requests that you bring him the Heart of the Leviathan from the Sand Sea Ruins to see it one last time.
Travel east-most of Shatterscarp to find the Sand Sea Ruins. The entrance, however, is locked. You need to go southeast from the entrance, climb the stairs and the wooden platform, and drop into the hole to unlock the entrance. Next, head inside the ruins and start exploring. It’s a fairly large ruin,so take your time and explore thoroughlyto grab all available items. Eventually, you’ll find the Heart of the Leviathan after defeating a bear and bypassing some traps.
Before leaving, make sure to press the hidden button to reveal a secret room containing the Weathered Journal. Keipo hasn’t been completely honest, as he wasn’t the only one who defeated the Leviathan.
On your way out, Chiko will stop you and reveal that Keipo is planning to grind the Heart of the Leviathan to create a poison to drink. Return to the uncle, and here, you canchoose if you give Keipo the heart or not.
Should You Give The Heart Of The Leviathan To Keipo?
There are many outcomes players canexpect from committing to any choicein the Heart of Valor quest. Keipo reveals that he has the Dreamscourge and would like to die on his own terms, as a man rather than a monster.
Give Keipo The Leviathan Heart
If you give Keipo the heart, he will thank you andreward the Umpara’s Spear +1. you may then mention Weathered Journal, and he will confess to his wrongdoings and apologize. Here, youhave the option to tell the truth to Thirdborn or keep the story a secret. When you leave, Chiko will be with Hajime, and asks if you gave him the heart.
When you confirm,Chiko is incredibly upsetand won’t listen to whatever you say, even if you reveal Keipo has the Dreamscourge. Here,you’re able to give Hajime the Weathered Journal so he can reveal to Thirdbornthat their hero was a liar, or not. If you decide to reveal the truth,Chiko will be devastatedas Keipo is not the hero he made himself to be.
Don’t Give Keipo The Leviathan Heart
If you don’t give the Heart of the Leviathan to Keipo and mention the Weathered Journal,he will not reward you with the weaponand will tell you to leave, even if you sympathize with his situation.
When Chiko and Hajime appear, playerscan keep the Heart of the Leviathan with them or give it away. Chiko will be pleased you didn’t give him the heart andreward you with the Stormdancer set,a unique medium armor. Again,the Envoy has a choice between revealing the truth or notregarding the Weathered Journal.
The best choice would be to not give him the heart and to hide the truth about what really happened. Additionally,players can obtain all the rewardswithout giving the heart to Keipo. Here’s how to do it:
This way, players are rewarded with all possible rewards and Thirdborn remains blissfully unaware of their hero’s true nature.Even Kai will agreethat this is the best possible outcome.
