Magran's Fires are optional challenges you can select when starting a new game in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire (by clicking the head at the bottom of the main menu). These generally make the game more difficult and are aimed at veteran players or those looking to replicate the achievement-related challenges found in Pillars of Eternity and The White March - Part I + The White March - Part II.
Whilst in-game, enabled challenges will be listed at the bottom of the difficulty menu in the settings.

Details[ | ]
Eothas' challenge dates[ | ]
During Eothas' challenge, the player must complete the following quests before specific dates. These are always a set amount of days from the start of the game, noting that Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire begins on the 18th of Mid Spring (Majprima), 2828 AI, at hour 6/7. To assist, a timer is shown in the top right of the screen, and the date of completion is shown in the journal. The hour of completion is always hour 6.
Quest | Days to complete | Completion date |

To Hunt a God | 5 days | 3 Deep Spring (Fonprima), 2828 AI |
The Veins of Eora | 30 days | 8 Late Spring (Tarprima), 2828 AI |

Galawain's challenge effects[ | ]

Abydon's challenge wear[ | ]
When Abydon's challenge is enabled, armor, weapon, and shield items equipped by the party are able to wear and take damage from use. Every time the character takes any damage, 1 point of wear is dealt to all currently equipped items (excluding non-armor/weapons/shields, and weapon sets that are not active). After a certain amount of wear, one of three item mods are added to the item, each representing a certain level of degradation. When this occurs, text is shown on the screen e.g. "Armor/Shield/Weapon Damaged!", a notice is logged to the combat log "{0} was damaged.", and an indicator appears over the item in the inventory:
Damaged items may be repaired via the enchanting interface, costing a fixed amount of plus a percentage of the shop/full value of the item (this, as with most enchantments, is doubled if the item is a two-handed weapon). Repairs may not be made during combat. When an item is repaired, its wear is reset to zero, and the currently-applied damage mod is cleared.
Once the item's wear goes beyond a threshold, the item is destroyed forever and is replaced with a broken item in the same slot. Broken items have no stats, no value, and may only be unequipped. When this occurs, text is shown on the screen e.g. "Armor/Shield/Weapon Broken!", a notice is logged to the combat log "{0} was destroyed.", and an indicator appears over the now-destroyed item in the inventory:
Quest items can be damaged, but cannot be broken.
By default the current wear of an item is hidden, however the console command ToggleDurabilityDebug
can be freely used if needed (even without IRoll20s).
Type | Broken threshold |
Broken item | Damage mods | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Wear | Mod | Repair cost | |||
≥ 140 | Broken Armor | ≥ 60 < 90 | Minor Damage: -1 Armor Rating | 150 + 10% | |
≥ 90 < 120 | Moderate Damage: -2 Armor Rating | 200 + 15% | |||
≥ 120 < 140 | Near Broken: -3 Armor Rating | 250 + 20% | |||
≥ 115 | Broken Shield | ≥ 45 < 70 | Minor Damage: -2 Shield Deflection | 100 + 10% | |
≥ 70 < 95 | Moderate Damage: -4 Shield Deflection | 150 + 15% | |||
≥ 95 < 115 | Near Broken: -6 Shield Deflection | 200 + 20% | |||
≥ 70 | Broken Weapon | ≥ 30 < 45 | Minor Damage: -4 Accuracy, -15% Damage, -1 Penetration | 100 + 10%* | |
≥ 45 < 60 | Moderate Damage: -8 Accuracy, -30% Damage, -2 Penetration | 150 + 15%* | |||
≥ 60 < 70 | Near Broken: -12 Accuracy, -45% Damage, -3 Penetration | 200 + 20%* |
*Resulting value is doubled if the weapon is two-handed.

The Ultimate[ | ]
The Ultimate challenge was added in patch 6.1 (5.0.0.0040). It enables all other God Challenges, Trial of Iron, Path of the Damned, and Solo mode all at once, making the game extremely difficult. As with the other challenges, it also disables console commands/cheats, and mods. The challenge and its objectives are tracked with a quest that is added to the journal upon starting a new game. The challenge itself involves killing a number of Mega Bosses and powerful enemies encountered throughout the course of the game and its expansions.
Being one of the first 12 players to complete the challenge it would earn the player a spot on The Ultimate "Roll of Honor", a physical plaque in Obsidian's studio lobby that would immortalize their achievement. In addition, the first 50 players would be sent a special Josh Sawyer patch to celebrate.
Notes[ | ]
- The console command
SetGodChallengeEnabled
can be used to enable god challenges after starting a game. Some challenges will not work correctly if enabled this way. - The timing on Berath's Challenge used to be 6 seconds before the party member was killed. This was extended to 10 seconds in a later patch.
- In the Solo challenge, recruited companions/sidekicks will still be present on your ship and will participate in boarding-party fights. However, they will all be level 1 (because the game doesn't level them up until the first time they join the active party, which they can't do), making them not very helpful. And on a side note, Berath's challenge applies to companions during boarding fights, meaning they can die in combat despite you being unable to take them into your party
