Our Dreams Divide Us Still Walkthrough
After using the Ekidan device you found in Naku Kubel to decipher the location of the Garden, the time has come to enter Galawain’s Tusks and find the path to Sapadal’s prison.
Enter Galawain’s Tusks
At the start of the quest, teleport to Naku Kubel Beacon in the northern part of Shatterscarp and head north to Galawain’s Tusks Gatehouse. If you previously turned in Daiko, Daiko, Silent Shizu, and Kauka will be waiting for you. You can either walk away peacefully or take them out.
After you’ve made your decision, speak with your companions at the party camp, then cross over to Galawain’s Tusks.
Locate the entrance to the Garden

To locate the Garden, travel to the eastern side of Galawain’s Tusks where you’ll find a group of Steel Garrote. Approach them to trigger a cutscene during which you’ll need to decide whether or not to kill them.
Search the Godless Tower

To reach the tower, simply walk across the bridge, and the vines will disappear as you go! Once in the tower, head straight and read Nandru’s Journal on the broken pillar overlooking the water below.

Speak to the Warden Council in Solace Keep
Next, travel to Solace Keep, which is along the eastern edge of Galawain’s Tusk and north of Berath’s Bounty. Once there, speak with Warden Kosmin at the city’s gate. When he lowers the gate, head inside Solace Keep and go up the stairs to reach the area behind the statue on the second floor. You will then need to take the lift up to the council’s chambers. Head inside to trigger a cutscene with the council.
Locate the Steel Garrote
After your conversation, return to the lift. Along the way, Councilor Kostya will stop you, wanting to speak with you further. During the conversation, he will tell you that you can find the Steel Garrote at the mines in Mt. Forja.
To reach Mt. Forja on the western side of Galawain’s Tusks, travel to the eastern side of the Mt. Forja Quarry. When you approach the gate, speak with Captain Aelfyr (unless you previously killed her). If you haven’t sided with the Steel Garrote, you will need to kill her or the other captain, who will be blocking your way.
Find Inquisitor Lodwyn
When clear, follow along the tracks all the way to Mt. Forja Mines. Once inside, work your way through the area. Towards the end of the mine, you will reach a Steel Garrote camp. Approach the table in the center of the room to trigger a cutscene with your companions. Afterwards, examine the map on the table.
With the room investigated, continue on to reach the summit, where you’ll find Inquisitor Lodwyn. After the cutscene, confront Inquisitor Lodwyn. The conversation will quickly turn into a battle, so defeat her and the Steel Garrote Dreamthralls.
Touch the Adra Pillar
After the fight, touch the giant green glowing adra pillar to speak with Sapadal.
Travel to Solace Keep
Now that you’ve finished all your tasks at Mt. Forja, return to Solace Keep. Unfortunately, you can’t fast travel, as that’s locked, so huff it! Once you arrive at the keep, speak with Komendant Mihala near the entrance to the forge.
Find the Entrance to the Garden in the Lava Tubes
After speaking with Mihala, head down the stairs into the forge. Next, head past the forge to find a hole in the wall. Proceed on through to reach the door leading to the Lava Tubes. Work your way through this area. Along the way, you’ll encounter some mini-bosses, Sibelius and then Borodin.
Upon defeating Borodin, enter the building and head down the spiral stairs. At the bottom, head down the hall and jump down the pit to land in some water. Next, interact with the adra crystal to speak with Nandru who will ask you to kill Sapadal instead of freeing them.
Once your conversation ends, continue deeper into the area. Eventually, you’ll reach the controls where Councilor Kostya is waiting. Approach him to trigger a cutscene. You will have two options: open the Sluice Gate to save Solace Keep or destroy the winch gears to doom Solace Keep.
Make your choice then head through the door to the left of the gears. The quest will then end!
