Detailed Walkthrough

Errant Headgear

Once Helga Open-Legs has told you about seeing the Kintyra II sink, talk to Interim Captain Cartello Stirk and tell him that the ship went down northwest of the island. He will be upset, partly because of the loss of his brother, but mainly because the ship was also carrying eight new helmets for the guards. He will ask you to find the ship and retrieve the helmets.

The Sunken Empress

The ship can indeed be found off the northwest coast of the island, almost due north of the lighthouse. She can be entered through a hole in her starboard side large enough to have been the cause of her sinking. You will find yourself on the mid deck. A ladder around to the left leads up to the captain's cabin, but the helmets are located on the cargo deck, accessed through a trap door to the right.

In the cargo deck, two helmets can be found on the floor and the other six are in the container furthest from the ladder. Collect them and exit the ship.

If You Want to Get Ahead...

Return to Captain Stirk with your finds. He will take the eight helmets and give you your 50 gold reward.

Notes

• Although 50 gold is a rather small reward, each helmet is only worth 5 gold, so it is still more than could be obtained by selling the helmets.
• Completion of this quest causes Stirk to drop the "Interim" from his title, in the light of the news that his brother will no longer be returning to reclaim his captaincy. This can also happen through completion of The Ballad of Jean and Mori.

Notes

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage Tr07q004StirkHelmets stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
