Rivington

Walkthrough

The area in the order you play it. Tick things off as you go: they tick off in the checklists below too.

1. 1

   Arrival and Refugee Camp

   As you journey north from Reithwin Town into Rivington at the start of Act Three, inspect the small camp near your initial descent (X: -31, Y: -104) to loot sacks and backpacks for a Potion of Superior Healing and a Potion of Greater Healing. Continue to the base of the hill to meet the young refugee Yenna and her cat Grub, who ask for aid and can join your campsite. Before pushing further into town, head over to the detached barn at X: 36, Y: -149 to find the Strange Ox, where you can agree to smuggle it into the Lower City as an apple or provoke it for the Hat of Fire Acuity and Shapeshifter's Boon Ring.

   Rivington Well Sea Cave Exit: Rivington Well at X: 10, Y: -16, down inside the well cavern facing the sealed stone wall: Pass a DC 20 Perception check to enter the well and shoot an internal winch to open a stone wall leading out to the Western Beach at X: 58, Y: 51. New

   Tip: Agreeing to smuggle the Strange Ox gives you an apple to carry into the Lower City, but failing to deliver it breaks an Oath of the Crown.

   Watch out: Do not advance into the Lower City before speaking to the Strange Ox, or it will vanish forever.

2. 2

   Arfur's Mansion and Requisitioned Barn

   Follow the road north to Arfur's Mansion at X: 11, Y: -95, where you encounter Arfur Gregorio arguing with the squatter Ben Golewits alongside hired Rivington Rats over displaced refugees occupying the home. Choose whether to evict the refugees for Arfur or side with Ben Golewits to chase off the homeowner and his muscle. Next, head east across the road to the Requisitioned Barn at X: 83, Y: -108, a supply depot closely monitored by the Flaming Fist.

   Watch out: Siding with Arfur forces the desperate squatters out, while threatening him drives the merchant away and triggers his departure.

3. 3

   Circus of the Last Days

   Make your way to the Circus of the Last Days at X: 22, Y: -75, where the necromancer Lucretious manages a visiting entertainment troupe. Approach the center stage to investigate the performance and confront the Dribbles impostor, defeating the doppelganger in battle. Loot the fallen performer once the dust settles to claim the Clown Hammer.

   Clown Hammer: Dropped by the doppelganger posing as Dribbles the Clown on the main stage at the Circus of the Last Days Don't miss

   Tip: Keep an eye out for Orin the Red, as she will impersonate two early NPCs you talk to among Zethino, Lens, Gyldro Angleiron, Fist Rowan, or a Dying Stone Lord Thug.

4. 4

   Rivington General and Angleiron's Cellar

   Visit Rivington General at X: 8, Y: -32 to browse wares from the trader Exxvikyap, then seek out the blacksmith Gyldro Angleiron. Gain entry to Angleiron's Cellar either through a hatch inside Gyldro's building or through a sea cave at X: 30, Y: 29. Down in the hideout, speak with the exiled Ironhand gnome leader Wulbren Bongle to receive a Runepowder Bomb.

   Angleiron's Cellar can be accessed through a hidden hatch inside the forge premises or via a cave entrance along the eastern coastline to discover the Ironhand Gnomes' secret refuge.Ring of Truthfulness: Abandoned Windmill cellar at X: 44, Y: -32, on the newborn Mind FlayerHow: kill the newborn Mind Flayer and loot its body NewMind Flayer Brain: Abandoned Windmill cellar at X: 44, Y: -32, on the newborn Mind FlayerHow: kill the newborn Mind Flayer and loot its body NewRing of Blink: Open Hand Temple and Sword Coast Couriers rooftops, held by TaraHow: talk to Tara on the roof New

   Tip: You can trade with local merchants around the settlement such as the Sharran merchant Ferg Drogher, the peddler Mattis, and the courier Danzo Arkwright.

5. 5

   Western Beach and Subterranean Secrets

   Pass a DC 20 Perception check at the Rivington Well (X: 10, Y: -16) to access the caves below, where you can jump across gaps to dig up a Buried Chest at X: 40, Y: -878. Shoot the internal winch to breach the stone wall exiting to the Western Beach at X: 58, Y: 51. Along the coast, you will encounter a battle between Caïros's Stone Lord Thugs and Farlin's Guild operatives, where you can fight either side, take on both, or let them clash from afar to loot the Corpsegrinder and Gleamdance Dagger.

   Key fight: Skirmish at the Western Beach
   Runepowder Bomb: Angleiron's Cellar beneath Rivington General, in Wulbren Bongle's handsHow: talk to Wulbren Bongle New

   Watch out: The combatants on the beach end up disfigured and decapitated during the violence, preventing any use of Speak with Dead on their corpses.

6. 6

   South Span Checkpoint

   Continue past the Sword Coast Couriers (X: 13, Y: 10), where you can confront the abusive kennel trainer Angry Mar'hyah, and head toward the locked Eastern Gate to plunder a heavy chest for a random Very Rare scroll while dodging guard sightlines. Approach the South Span Checkpoint guarded by Gauntlet Edwynna, Flaming Fist forces, and a Steel Watcher barring entry to Wyrm's Crossing. Choose between bribing the guards and submitting to the Steel Watcher's scan—which risks arrest, battle, or ally intervention—or seeking alternate paths to bypass the checkpoint entirely.

   Buried Chest: Rivington Well cave at X: 40, Y: -878, across a series of jumpable stone platformsHow: jump across the platforms and dig with a shovel NewRandom Very Rare scroll: Ramparts towers by the locked Eastern Gate, inside the heavy chestHow: lockpick and loot the heavy chest while remaining out of guard vision New

   Tip: Ulma leads the Gur monster hunters at their nearby Gur Camp, offering another encounter before you breach the city.

   Watch out: Submitting to the Steel Watcher scan without preparation forces an immediate arrest confrontation or a lethal battle with the checkpoint guards.

What you decide here and what it leads to.
