An Unheard Farewell quest guide for Valor Mortis Chapter 2
Track down missing scouts for an Adjutant and earn a useful amber reward.
An Unheard Farewell is a side quest in Valor Mortis Chapter 2 where an Adjutant Sous-Officier asks you to track down his missing scouts. It takes you off the main path and throws a tough fight at you, but the reward is solid if you need the amber.
Finding the elevator and cave
You need to progress through the level until you unlock an elevator, then ride it to the top. The elevator activates when you shoot glowing Nephtogloblin growths or glowing orbs scattered around the area.
Partway up the shaft, you'll spot a cave entrance covered in web-like material. Fire transmutation burns through the blockage and lets you inside. Without that ability unlocked, you're stuck.
The cave fight
Inside the cave, you face a tough elite soldier enemy. Players report this fight can be a pain depending on your build and level, so come prepared.
After the fight, you can read a letter or notes in the cave that explain what happened to the soldiers. The details are grim, as you'd expect.
The choice and reward
When you return to the Adjutant, you can tell him the truth about his scouts or lie. The choice is yours, and some reports suggest he may not believe they're gone either way.
No matter what you say, you get the Sleight of Hand amber as a reward. That makes the quest worth the detour if you're collecting ambers or need the specific perk it offers.
The quest is straightforward once you know where to look. Just make sure you have fire transmutation unlocked before you try to access the cave, or you'll waste a trip.
