Hollow Marshes

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition guide · The wilderness outside the fort

The Hollow Marshes is the wild region outside Fort Joy where players search for a way off the island. You must navigate hostile Magister patrols and corrupted wildlife to find the hidden Sanctuary of Amadia and ally with the Seekers. The ultimate goal is securing Purging Wands to destroy Shriekers and taking Lady Vengeance, the Magister flagship.

Tips

Clear the Gargoyle's Maze early to reach the Tower of Braccus Rex for high-tier equipment and a well that provides guaranteed jewelry when paying gold.
You must eliminate the Shriekers guarding the harbor using either a Purging Wand or the dragon Slane before your party can safely assault the Magister docks.
Bless the flaming pigs to remove their curse; one pig named Feder will run to the Sanctuary of Amadia, where bathing in the holy pool permanently turns her into a unique trader.
