How to Begin the Avenge the Drowned Quest
Travel to the Water Queen’s House in the southwestern part of Lower City. Once you arrive, you’ll notice that a funeral is being held. Speak with Flood Tide Allandra Grey to learn that Holli’s corpse was pulled out of the nearby harbour. A noxious, polluting beast caused her death. You’ll want to offer your services in hunting down and slaying the beast.

Find the Poisonous Beast’s Master
Next, travel to Flymm’s Cargo on the west side of the Grey Harbour and enter the building. You’ll need to lockpick the doors to head inside. You can do this easily by using some crates on the east side of the building to jump up to the roof.
From there, jump down on a balcony along the south side. Once you’ve entered the building, you must defeat a group of enemies. After taking care of them, there will be a hatch in the floor on the northwestern side of the ground floor. Use it to reach the basement.
Deal with Redhammer the Deviser
Follow it around, and you’ll find Redhammer the Deviser. Speak with him and pass the deception check that you’re here on Gortash’s orders. You can choose the “You killed one of those servants of Umberlee” option afterward.
This will give you the option to kill him, or you can convince him to take you to the Iron Throne, where you’ll need to go for Wyll’s The Blade of Frontiers companion quest.
If you go that route, Flood Tide Allandra Grey will be waiting for you when you get back from the Iron Throne, and she will be pissed. You’ll then have the option to let her have the Redhammer or prevent her from taking him.
Going the former route will complete the quest and reward you with the Wavemother’s Robe while doing the latter will see you face the Waveserveants.
