Decipher Books About Orpheus
You’ll then need to track down the other volumes to progress the quest. We have listed them below. This quest will be completed at the beginning of Act III after exiting the Astral Prison.
Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part One: Betrayal
The first book on Prince Orpheus can be found at the Arcane Tower in the Underdark. You’ll need to activate the elevator and take it up to the bedroom just before the roof. There, you’ll find the text lying around.
Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Two: Sacrifice
The book’s second part is located in the Githyanki Creche at the Rosymorn Monastery along the Mountain Pass. Make your way there, and then head for the classroom. The instructor will be beating up one of his students. Intervene by passing a skill check to get the instructor to back off and then speak with the student. You’ll need to pass some skill checks to convince the lad to hand over the text.
Orpheus, Prince of the Comet, Part Three: Resurrection
Part Three of the Prince Orpheus saga can be found in Balthazar’s room in the Moonrise Towers during Act II. You will be granted access during the main story if you side with the Absolute or at least pretend to. It will be on a bookshelf near the entrance to his room.
