Dim Prospects is a faction quest in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.

Synopsis

Atsura, grand secretary of the Royal Deadfire Company, wants me to impede the Vailians' progress at Poko Kohara.

To that end, he's asked me to find a way to render the luminous adra there unusable. He didn't provide specific instructions, but the details may become clearer when I see the site for myself.

Walkthrough

• The quest is straightforward and requires you to complete The Storms of Poko Kohara, preferably by sabotaging the great pillar. Return once the deed is done.
  • If you destroyed the pillar, the talk is straightforward. You will receive two lots of Moderate Positive reputation with the RDC, and 1,250 for your efforts.
  • Otherwise, you receive a Moderate Negative reputation with RDC. But at the same time, you can also gain Minor Positive reputation by making an excuse:
    • "Now that I have their trust. Imagine what I can do with that."' [Shady]
    • Bluff 4 - [Lie] "My powers don't work that way. There was nothing I could do."'

Then he says that the storms around the island have clear, and asks what you know of it. You get Moderate Positive reputation with the RDC regardless of your answer.

• Talk to Hazanui Karū to begin the next quest.
