Fort Joy

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition guide · The fort interior after escaping the ghetto

Fort Joy's interior consists of the dungeons, holding cells, and upper battlements controlled by Magisters and Silent Monks. Players can explore these levels to rescue Delorus, confront Magister Houndmaster, find source-purging facilities, and break out into the Hollow Marshes. Multiple escape pathways exist here, including a sewer pipe, an elevated drawbridge, and a hidden boat.

Enemies

High Judge Orivand

Tips

The Silent Monks roaming the corridors are neutral and will not attack unless provoked or triggered by specific magister fights.
Sneaking past High Judge Orivand along the outer wooden scaffold allows you to reach the sewer pipe escape without fighting him.
If you save Delorus from the Magisters in the prison, he gives you the password needed to safely use the boat escape with Han.
